It doesn't matter if he's a natural or not. If he has muscles developed at a young enough age to throw it that fast, he does not neccesarily have fully developed joints and support systems associated. If kids can't hit a 30-35mph fastball at his level, why throw 40+? The only reasons are to say you can, and to cause extra damage to your arm. Neither of which sound like good reasons to me.

I agree. I didn't start pitching until I was older even though I could throw hard. We had limitations like 2-3 inning max per game. I don't think he should be playing in that league, but if that's what he wants there's no reason he shouldn't be allowed to.
The reasons they don't want him pitching are total bullshit though. Part of playing sports is getting your ass whooped from time to time. These parents are spoiling their kids and being retarded by pulling out and giving up. gj
