    A Little Leaguer was so appalled by a strike call that he looked around the ballpark

    A little leaguer was so appalled by a strike call that he looked around the ballpark in search of an explanation. Ballplayer Landry Pate of the team Texas West couldn't believe his eyes when he was called for a strike. His expression is priceless.

    I coached LL for many years and love watching the playoffs. No million dollar players just kids with baseball at heart.

    I've been watching the LL Softball World Series (which isn't world wide), bad plate calls abound, but not as bad as that one.

    If you look at that pitch it was at off the plate, but the catcher did an awesome job of fooling the umpire. That was a major league move by the catcher.

    The kid did send his message very well to the ump without resorting to kicking dirt at him.
