LLWS Pitcher Lin Chin-Tse: Unfair Heat or Just Next Level?

Is Lin Chin-Tse, the Chinese Taipei ace, too dominant for the Little League World Series? The 12-year-old is lighting up the radar gun with 82 MPH fastballs (MLB equivalent: 107 MPH!), retiring 15 of 16 Nevada hitters in the championship. Fans are split—some say it’s unfair for kids to face that kind of heat, others just call him a phenom. Should LLWS change the rules, or are we just witnessing greatness? #Sports #LLWS #LinChinTse

Back in '67 we had a lefty kid named Terry Day who had a 90mph fastball. Dominated every game he pitched. Also had a curve and a nasty slider. He was 10 years old. Pure talent...same as this kid. Quit bitchin' and enjoy the game.

LL is not baseball. Pitcher too close at 40 ft. No leading off, no balks. No stealing. All of these kids are already playing travel at 50 70, or even more.

I don’t believe in restricting talent , kids a freak, figure out how to hit him. But I think League needs to make every effort to make sure teams aren’t doctoring birth certificates, and anyone who thinks people won’t try to cheat , your sadly ignorant

my last year of community ball was at 15 years old. Our pitcher could throw 92 and was absolutely untouchable. That was the year I learned my baseball career was over because I couldn't hit his fastball

My youngest son played on a 12 allstar team that won state, regional and the Cal Ripken world series. In practices we had high school pitchers throwing BP so hitting a really good 12 year old pitcher was easy for them.
