12 year old Catcher celebrates a strikeout and a win... is ejected!

- In the sixth (and last) inning of a USSSA 12U Major Super NIT pool game, the Bomberz are mounting a rally against the Titans and have runners on second and third with one out when a new pitcher is called on to relieve and take over on the mound to stop the rally. The relief pitcher quickly shuts down the Bomberz, striking out both batters he faces, and the Titans win the game 8-3. However, following the third strike that ends the game and without any previous incidents, or any warnings, the ump ejected the catcher for what he claimed was "unsportsmanlike conduct." Two Titan coaches were then thrown out of the game after expressing their bewilderment of the ejection to the ump when he would not (or could not) tell them what specifically the kid did or said that was unsportsmanlike. The kid stands there silent, baffled by what just happened to him. Since this game had just ended, the people ejected by the ump could not participate in the tournament's next game the following day. Later the tournament director (who had been watching the game and heard no swearing by the catcher nor saw anything close to being interpreted as unsportsmanlike), after consulting with the umpires and the other team's coaches, reinstated the catcher. But he didn't reinstate the kid's coaches, and the team still had the disadvantage of playing their next game of the tournament without either their manager or first base coach. This is an otherwise excellent umpire, but bad blood between him and the kid's coach had been brewing long before this tournament... and the ump simply misinterpreted what he thought he saw and heard here, and over-reacted before he processed it all.
For those saying the catcher deserved being tossed, batting earlier in the same game, he drove in a run with a shot through the gap and to the wall, but was called out on a bang-bang play at home. No theatrics. No whining. No complaining to the ump. The ump calls him out, the kid accepts the call, gets up, puts on his gear, and goes back out to work behind the plate. Not exactly the sign of what some commenters here say is a "cocky" kid who "mouths off" to the ump and "needs to be taught sportsmanship..." Check it out and see for yourself here: • Out at the Plate... No...
(SloMo version of the tag is here: • Out at the Plate - No ... )
Then check out the video of the Titan relief pitcher, out on a called third strike when he batted earlier in the top of the same inning. Tight pitch on the inside corner. Call could have gone either way. • Walkman Strikes Out...
This game was played at Big League Dreams in Manteca, California (near Stockton in the central San Joaquin Valley) on a field that replicates Chicago Cub's Wrigley Field. The entire infield, including the infield "dirt," plus the foul areas from in front of the dugouts to the backstop areas behind the plate, is artificial turf, the same turf as installed in the stadiums where MLB teams Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays play, as well as many NFL and college football stadiums. The patches you see around home plate are just that, patches where the turf has worn out and has been replaced. The outfields beyond the infield dirt and their foul areas are natural grass or dirt. The spectators seen in the outfield bleachers are photos of real people, local citizens who have donated support to the Parks and Recreation Dept of the town of Manteca, co-partner with the private company that designed, operates, and manages the town-built facility. There are several other Big League Dreams facilities throughout the country.

You can tell a lot of people in the comments here did not read the description. Stop making assumptions and taking sides without knowing all of the information. Clearly the video by itself makes absolutely no sense.
@@corpu1250 you better read every word I've written in this and all my other videos or the ump will go after you, too!
The title seems like the catcher did nothing wrong
@@stopidiot4107 the catcher didnt do anything wring
Who’s gonna read all that shit ?😂
Both of them were in the wrong kinda
parents are by far the worst thing about childrens sports.
battheman777 agreed
battheman777 Why's that.. ?
Barbara Driskell because they think there kids are perfect and deserve nothing bad
battheman777 I agree with you the whole way was a youth soccer ref. the parents made me quit all youth games. the insults got too bad and too personal.
battheman777 agreed
Is anyone else disturbed by the pathetic parents yelling that he deserved it
same and like they just won the parents would be celebrating if the kid hit onto base and they wouldn't get ejected plus the game is over so what's the point
Highly disturbing
Some kids are pretty annoying tho
Yeah he's a 12 year old catcher being happy that his pitcher struck someone out to win a game.
+Wyatt Riley not surprised i officiated 2nd graders in basketball, its coed and also there are certain rules like guard the same wrist bands and we try to have everyone in the league score at least once so we stop a game in the middle of it and let a little girl who has never scored shoot a free throw to get her first point and the stuff that comes out of some parents mouth while doing it is disgusting, plus we dont even keep score at all to
I love the dad telling the adults who are cheering for the kid getting thrown out to “grow up.” He’s absolutely right.
This ump was probably a great hall monitor in middle school.
And now he's a TSA agent at the airport.
class act of an umpire...tossing a kid and amateur coaches. I hope this joke of an ump never umpires again
The little brat yelled shut up to the crowd and was trash talking all game.
+dannyhuskerjay Danny! Danny! Danny! Were you at this game? Do you personally know this catcher? If so you wouldn't have heard any trash coming from him... and you have no right whatsoever calling him a "little brat." I have no connection to the catcher other than my son had been playing on the same team with him when this took place almost four years ago, so I have nothing to gain by defending the kid or by misrepresenting what happened. If you know the catcher, you would also know "little brat" is the most inaccurate description of him anyone could ever come up with. Watch the two videos of him again and tell us exactly each instance where you think he's trash talking. You can't because there are none.
The Tournament Director was right there in the stands and witnessed everything... the kid neither said nor did anything unsportsmanlike at all. The game was full of tension, not among the players, but among a couple of the coaches and a handful of fans in the stands, with the umpire and the catcher caught in the middle. And in the commotion following the last strike, the umpire simply misinterpreted what he thought he saw or heard from the catcher. Immediately, the Tournament Director, the umpires and the coaches all met and the umpire realized he had made a mistake and the kid's ejection was overturned. So unless you were there watching this game, or personally know this kid and his family, I suggest you craft your comments more carefully next time.
+dannyhuskerjay He did what all catchers are supposed to do. Show the ump the ball so he knows it wasn't dropped/missed. So the ump can call it a strike. I saw nothing wrong with his behavior...
+Noah Roller Well, maybe I'm retarded and dead. He may have said shut up at some point during the game, but he didn't say anything during that 3:15 of video. I just watched the whole thing 3 times AGAIN with my kids to make sure I'm not missing anything, and I'm not. We did hear the phrase, "Shut up" said from one person in the crowd though. But that catcher said nothing during this video.
If you feel I've made an error, please reply with the exact time during the video that you heard HIM say "Shut up" please.
And... I'm not sure how my opinion as a long time player and umpire prompted such a hateful, ugly response from you. But I love you anyway!
+Noah Roller Apparently you can't read Gret's description either and hear things that the rest of us don't.
Funny how you seem to know more then the uploader of the video.
The parents in the crowd cheering for the ejection of a kid is so gross
In sport you can see the best and the worst about humans..
Yeah, that was idiotic. Sets a bad example for kids.
They’re clapping cos the game just ended.
Agreed
Parents: Ha! You got falsly ejected! *sticks tong out*
this is the 5th surge of youtube recommending this video to everyone 11 years later. welcome boys
Complete abuse of power from the umpires, they should not be aloud to umpire
The worst part of this video is when the parents clap because the kid is ejected. No class
Random Dude they are clapping sarcastically
Wes Moore No they're not, they are being birches
Random Dude how do you know he wasn't talking shit or there wasn't something else before the video started?
Wes Moore how is that a sarcastic clap... lmao
What if they were clapping because the game was over
The opposing team’s parents were cheering when the catcher was ejected. Just let that sink in… 30-40 year old entitled brats excited to see a 12 year get ejected just because their own team lost with one even saying, “you deserve it”. How despicable
SOME of them did. It is troubling they did that to someone's kid, but the description does not add up. Think about it, people especially parents do not say to a kid, shut up, get out, and say he deserved it for no reason. His disconduct behavior might have been subtle, but most likely they would not have done it without any indication of provocation. Again, I am not condoning anything, just throwing out possible explanations.
@@brandoncolis3841 I played very competitive softball, and I can tell you that parents of opposing teams would most DEFINITELY say a kid deserved to be ejected just because they lost. Heck, when one of our players was injured one time, the opposing parents laughed and cheered about it before the umps did anything. Parents are, unfortunately, going to say things to kids in these situations, whether you think so or not.
@@kaylastone9991 Adults can be repulsively competitive, but I do not believe they do things without reason. I am having much difficulty picturing grownups laughing and cheering at an injured kid who probably did nothing at all, maybe it was for some entirely different reason, and saying harsh things towards a kid who many here are saying did nothing. Sure, they were out of line, as was the umpire, but the kid was probably too, if not at that moment probably throughout. The description is one sided and does not say enough to provide accuracy.
Kids sports are great until the parents get involved.
We all need to hear exactly what the kid said to the umpire right at the end if the game. Otherwise, this is all out of context. Its almost like the uploader did that on purpose...
Respect to the lady who said “he’s just a kid”
That catcher did nothing that any other catcher would do after a strike-out ending the game and he never should've been ejected. Obviously, the ump was looking for any excuse to hurt the catcher's team and he found one in an insignificant action of the catcher. The bad sportsman was the ump, not the catcher or the coaches.
Those parents were actualy cheering that he got ejected thats ridiculous
The saltiness coming from the losing teams parents is scary
Yeah
Fr, that was nothing to be ejected for. My teams catcher does that all the time
Yeah as I catcher I’ve celebrated so much harder and the umpire didn’t care
Holy shit your so right
It wasn't even a celebration to my eyes. The catcher was showing the umpire that he cleanly caught the ball.
What a jerk. Some kind of authority trip. He shouldn't be allowed to umpire. What that kid did wasn't taunting or anything like that he was just celebrating. That ump has issues
9 years later and this video was put in my recommendations. Who else got this as well?

I searched it up
How many of us watched an Angel Hernandez or Joe West video in the last week?
*Mad respect for the ACTUAL adults telling the crowd to both shut up and grow up.*
The grow up was to the people protesting the ejection.
@@justyourlocalbernana1823 I don’t think it was I’m pretty sure it was the guy who was recording and supporting the pitcher so I don’t see why he would be trying to justify the ejection for his own team
@@luminous7891 Ah ok
Yeah, best way to get people to behave is to yell louder than they do.
12 years later and this is in our recommended
Yeah
Imagine being an adult screaming at a child saying how he deserves to be thrown at just cause your sons team sucks at hitting.
Embarrassing behaviour
And that second batter was terrible
The "mature" parents yelling get showed up by the kids who actually show some class at the end of the game by trying to shake hands with the other team.
IHeartBama1 true they do that to me when I strikeout and they say they're "mature"
F
IHeartBama1 you're required to shake hands with the other team in little league
Michael Gooseking this isn't little league. It's at a field of dreams somewhere. probably a usssa game
Mikey Daniels usually usssa
The way the parent said grow up and fuck your ass to the kid is crazy
Real
Bunch of adults telling a little kid to grow up.
Pretty sure they were telling the parents that where clapping about the kid getting ejected to grow up, I could be wrong.
The adults are the worst part about kids sports.
ikrrrrr
Read the desc of the video
Facts
Absolutely
@@phantom8875 didn't come here to read a book
This is truly absurd. The catcher was merely showing the umpire the fact that he caught the ball cleanly in order to register the strikeout. This umpire is nuts.
Kicking somebody out when they already won the game 😂😂 I would look at the ump and say the game is already over
It affects the next game.
However, the catcher was reinstated.
umpire should be ejected and never call another game. Unbelievable.
In the description, if you read it. Stated that the umpire is a good umpire, he had just either misheard or misunderstood what the kid had done. As a referee myself, there is a shortage of referees and umpires alike and it’s because of parents like you who want to throw away all of them
7 years later and TH-cam decides to put this in all of our recommendations
Those parents who clapped for seeing a kid be ejected... You are the problem with sports.
I would have gave those parents the middle finger
It was because they won, and tried to cheer them up. Good parents.
@@pengoo6048 You must have been one of the parents out there
That lady literally heard the phrase, “straighten it out” once in her life and now says it anytime a batter makes contact with ball that ends up foul.
Who else has this in their recommended 7 years after it was posted for no reason?
Maximillian Mus honestly
yoooo rn
12 minutes after you posted that message lol but I watched it anyways
all of us lmao
womp womp
Crazy that kid is 20 years old right now....
That is how age works. Well done
Gimme taco
How is that crazy LOL????????
21 now
Um, ok? What do you expect for him to skip time or something?
This is so much bull. The kid did nothing to get kicked out. Then you hear the parents of the other team clapping because their kids suck at baseball
After reading the description, it appears to be a retaliatory ejection(s) by the umpire.
Disgusting parents cheering when the kid already felt bad for doing nothing
Alpha Omega fr
The real travesty is that both teams are wearing the exact same shade of blue..
I was thinking the exact same thing lmao
Looks like the Umpire is the one with the issue. he had it with the catcher for no reason.
Imagine bullying a kid for enjoying the game
The people who were happy the kid got ejected a just straight jerks
This video came out 7 years ago and I’m still seeing multiple comments from 2 minutes ago
Youssef Elmansoury and 5 seconds ago hint hint
That's because it's on the recommended list to see like it was for Me 2 seconds ago I didn't realize it was seven years old until I read your comment.

Congratulations on teaching that celebrating success should be punished. What a blueprint for our nation going forward.
Thats not an umpire...thats a clown
Yeah, but clowns are entertaining, this guy was not
0:02
As a player who has played at Big league Dreams many times it disappoints me because of how many piss poor umpires work there.
and piss poor parents doesnt help the situation... its all about egos from the refs and the parents.
Ur not abt to tell me these parents clapped bc a 12 yo kid got thrown out for being happy...
Lol idk if you played in little league man but parents will do a lot worse than that. pretty sad how intense and toxic some parents will be
They're just hater losers... lol
It would appear as though the catcher did a hand gesture to the umpire. No offense here but it happened really fast I didn't see it. I think more than anything the umpire has a chip on his shoulder and was desperately looking to make a statement. Probably a control freak who has to be the center of attention. That would be my guess 🤔
@@johnking4941 It seemed to me that he was just showing the ump that he caught the ball cleanly, and it didn’t hit the dirt, just in case the ump may have been thinking that. Did it myself when I caught travel ball about 100 years ago!
@@Willie_McBride hey yeah that's a really good point too
I find it disgusting how the parents were cheering when the kid got ejected. Like he’s just a freaking kid.
After reading the description screw that ump glad the catcher was brought back
This umpire must be related to Angel Hernandez
Episode 393 of *"Why is this in my recommendations 7 years later"*
The fact that parents cheered that a 12 year old got ejected was sad
Rude that shits more common than you think dude try a soccer game lmao
Rude I know.
As a former umpire I can say I didn’t see the catcher have an unsportsmanlike conduct when he jumped up and skipped toward the dugout. I don’t know if he had been warned about his behavior previously though.
Imagine being a parent and cheering that a kid got kicked out. Plus all he did is celebrate because he was proud and then the ump has to be a jerk (I mean he’s an ump so no surprise) and kick the kid out FOR NO DAMN REASON
The loser's were the parents cheering the ump to eject the kid. Real sportsmanship they are displaying
Yea, pretty pathetic.
The umpire was far and away out of line.
The catcher showed the umpire the third strike ball ending the game, and ran to congratulate his pitcher.
11 years later and I bet that ump is still power tripping 😂
This isn't major league baseball it's kids playing ball.
SHAME ON THE REF AND THE PARENTS!!!!
It’s just sad that parents were cheering when the kid got ejected
Stupid parents
Don’t be mad at the Ump... be mad at TH-cam for suggesting a video from 2012.
This is a result of giving "Little Men" power. This ump should never umpire another game anywhere at any time!
Hey Blue, the catcher was simply showing you that he caught the ball on a third strike swing.
Why was this recommended to me 6 years later?
AAmmar 2.0 ikr
Lmfao right?
Exactly
Horrible parents clapping at a kid getting thrown out is pretty sad.

*Throws Damien333 out of youtube (seriously though, that comment was witty AF)
+Damien333 i know this comment is from awhile ago, but some things just make you laugh. thank you.
That guy doesn't need to be umpiring games. If he has a feud with a coach as stated in the description, then there is an issue. No way that kid did anything wrong. It was like the umpire was looking for a reason to kick him out. The director of that tournament should have kicked the ump out too if the coaches were out for the next game. All they did was ask the ump why he threw the kid out of the game which the umpire didn't have a good reason so instead of admitting he was wrong, he doubled down and threw the coaches out also. All after the game was already over. What a moron!
The game was over right. If the game is over, why would it matter what the catcher do. The umpire was in the wrong.
If you can’t celebrate a victory, what are you playing for?
I wouldn’t even call what he did celebrating. He did a little hop.
@@bzebarth he tossed the ball to the ump before he did that. Umps a garbage human anyway
A participation trophy?
Wasn't the game over?
Sprinkles that's what they are playing for Sprinkles because Sprinkles are for winner's
Parents cheering about a 12 year old kid getting thrown out, pretty pathetic
They should be the ones thrown out. Baseball was always better in the backyard anyway. Organized leagues are cancer. Let kids play.
These kids play baseball year round,!they can handle it.
They were cheering that they just won the game
@@lucas15. then why did they say that he deserved it?
I have umpired for over 31 years at every level, and I have seen SO MUCH, but I fail to see ANYTHING that would constitute an ejection. If there is a lingering feud between coaches and umpire, then the umpire should be a professional and wipe the slate clean or recuse himself from that game. Officials should be as invisible as possible.
Shame.
The other obstacle to youth sports is parents. Stay home or be quiet. The only sounds you should make are cheering and clapping. Moms and Dads who act as though their prodigy is destined for stardom are a HUGE problem. I have heard barbs from some mothers that would shock most. Kids are a product of their environment, and parents tend to create a tense and inhospitable ambiance for young athletes.
You don’t see the kid point at the ump and say something? This is why the ump got upset. I’d like to know what the kid said. If petty or trying to be an adult, let it be. Unless the catcher was being undisciplined the entire game and ump warned the kid to watch his mouth, kid didn’t. There’s more to the story than this video to judge either person.
I do agree with the parental problems. In the 90s I played and few parents showcased problems. Seems it grew bigger and they’re getting worse. I wouldn’t want to ref any game because of these pretentious aholes who think they’re the center of existence.
i'd bet money the ump is an off duty cop.
why are there so many hahaha
This only adds to my belief that most people aren't capable of handling the responsibility of being put in a position of authority.
The parents clapping for the ejections are the worst part of this videos
It was sick to hear the parents cheering at the kids ejection, but its also telling. The description was bias, there was clearly something going on and whatever that catcher did/said before the ejection was the last straw.
@@Sean-uh6te Well put. It was disgusting for the opposing parents to do that, but something must have led up to that to receive that type of reaction. I did appreciate the other parents attempting to defend him, but the kid must have said or did something throughout the game to receive the treatment he got.
Another ump that thinks people go to baseball games to watch umpires, not to play or watch players.
What was the point the game was over, ump had a power trip

How can you eject someone when the game is OVER?
What's more pathetic? The ump or the fans cheering a 12 year old getting thrown out of a game?
Exactly. I mean even the kid batting. I'm sure he doesn't feel any pressure from the adults behind him yelling to straighten it out. He knows where the ball is supposed to be hit, I don't think he needs reminding after every swing.
I mean would you rather 12 year old you had your parents scream profanities at you (and the other team) when you messed instead of encourage you? Or just sat on their phones? Those are two pretty close opposites and I can't imagine anyone wanting either really. I think it would be a pretty nice thing hearing your parents and family friends backing you up after a bullshit call.
Those aren't parents cheering for their own kid. They're parents of kids on the other team cheering because a 12 year old kid got ejected.
Cameron Rudderham That's even worse. Shows the parents are taking the game more seriously than the kids are. As is the same with most sports.
If we were to ban parents from youth sports, maybe, just maybe, the kids would have much more fun! "Baseball was made for kids, and grown-ups only screw it up."...Bob Lemon
Whoever told the parents grow up has all my respect
That man shouldn't be allowed to umpire another children's ball game ,he kept yelling grow up ,he was the one that needed to grow up . I wonder if he had a child on the other team. A grown man shouldn't act so childish ,it's ridiculous how he treated that little boy !
Wtf are you talking about? All of the babbling you hear is from parents in the crowd. The guy saying grow up is saying that to the woman who is cheering about the kid getting ejected
What’s crazy is that the kids in this video are in college now
I can’t go to my girlfriend’s kid’s games because of the atmosphere those crazy parents create. It’s bonkers how oblivious they are to how they act.
fr lmao, “GO GO GOOOOOO” at the top of their lungs like it’s gonna make a difference,
Never missed one of my son's games from t-ball to senior year.. no matter what field, I always sat in the right field corner far away from the "travel ball" mom's and dad's.. only way to enjoy the game

@@h0m1ess facts
To bring a lighter note to this comment section is anyone else impressed how well that pitcher throws for only being a twelve year old.
This kid is a ballplayer! I'm a subscriber to this channel and have watched this kid's progress here on youtube for the last 6 years. Based on gret huskys other videos, it looks like his kid played for the Seattle Mariners scout team. Seems he ended up with a scholarship to play for San Jose State. I'm enjoying following this kid's baseball journey!
I think I will subrscibe as well and watch these videos and when the players go pro it would be so cool to go out and meet them and talk about how you watched them grow. More you than I, but all the same it would be an incredible thing to think about. Lately I have been really been getting excited while watching baseball and only have been able to pitch a couple of times to some people I know (who don't like to go out). Sadly I don't really have anyone to play any sports with so that is a bummer, but I look forward to watching more of these videos. OHH MY I just realized that this uploaded in 2012, I may have a bit of catching up to do :) Best of wishes
MrDTekisOnline, yeah he's pretty amazing. I hope he gets a good scholarship for it. When I was 11 I was an amazing pitcher myself. Even pitched a "no hitter" on my 6th game.
Wow! Any tips you can give for someone who is trying to get better
MrDTekisOnline, well I use to practice with my grand dad. But when he wasn't around I use to hang my glove on my fence, where the strike zone would be. Then just keep trying to hit it over and over again lol. I had like 50 balls in a bucket so I didn't have to chase after the ball every time I threw it lol. Over time accuracy and speed improves tremendously.
The Ref, “Hey everybody, look at me! See how important I am?”
Ump, dumbass.
How dare you have fun in a competitive sport
NO FUN ALLOWED HERE! And while you're at it, if you happen to win the game, just sit there stone-faced.
If only josh had straightened it out.

The outfield crowd was incredibly subdued.
Listen to the “adults” in the background. And people wonder why kids act the way they do.
He didn't even celebrate.
Also, those parents are obnoxious. Clapping that he got ejected.
Rex Xavier that’s what has happened to our society. I can say this about select baseball and little League because I currently play and it’s can be really bad
Move the kids to club ball. Recreational sport have gone downhill and competitive leagues are doing better
Rex Xavier oml if you think that’s bad you should of seen what happened when my dad (the coach) got kicked out of the game- it was our last game and everybody there even the other team was clapping cause they hated the umpire so bad lol it the weirdest thing ever I swear
He taunted. Not celebrated.
@@jackland454 if you read the description this wasn't a rec league, this was an USSSA tournament (travel league/club ball)
If you watch carefully right after the final strike, as the catcher stands up, he very, very briefly turns to look back at the ump and points at him with the ball, and I suspect he said something disrespectful there. I find it very difficult to believe the ump would run him simply for cheering their victory; the ump must surely at least have THOUGHT the kid said or did something disrespectful.
the catcher was showing him the ball to show he had possession of it. this is important because if there had been a foul tip, but the ball was still caught, then the strikeout would stand. also, the batter could run to first on a third strike that was dropped, and keep the game alive. in my opinion, this ump had a boner for the catcher's team and this was his last chance to stick it to them, even as the game was over. then he went right over to the coaches and kept it going. if the ump was really legit, he would not have gone over to provoke the coaches. this ump wanted to toss everyone and it really showed. he's an embarrassment.
That Ump shoupd never work again.
With the right coaches, these kids learn from arsehole umps like that, the world is a place you have to watch your 6. There is no right, there is just what the jerks with the power want and the best you can do is do what you do and try to stay out of trouble.
@@78tag Or this would be a perfect way to teach kids that if you are a corrupt pos then you need to be removed from your position of power and thus remove him.
