Oklahoma youth baseball coach receives lifetime ban after viral dugout throw

An Oklahoma youth baseball coach, Michael Ryals, was banned for life by the USSSA and his 12-year-old son suspended five years after a viral video showed the son throwing a ball into an opposing team’s dugout during a Memorial Day weekend tournament in Kansas City. Ryals says the opposing team taunted his son and that his son reached his breaking point, while others allege Ryals directed the throw. The incident did not injure anyone, and the USSSA penalties also included his son’s five-year suspension; Ryals acknowledges the situation and says he doesn’t want to be seen as the “bad guy.”

Youth baseball league sentences fans to umpire for mistreatment.

A Little League in Deptford, New Jersey, has implemented a new code of conduct that requires any spectator who mistreats umpires to complete three umpiring assignments or be banned from the complex for a year. The league hopes to deter unruly behavior and prevent potential assaults. The initiative has garnered national attention and attracted new umpires to the league. However, some fans in Deptford are unhappy with the perception that the town is full of baseball bullies. Youth officiating is in crisis, with nearly 17,500 referees surveyed in 2017 citing parents as the biggest problem with sportsmanship.

Umpire rescues child from dust devil during youth baseball game.

During a youth baseball game in Florida, a dust devil formed on home plate and a child got caught up in it. The umpire, 17-year-old Aidan Wiles, came to the child's rescue and was able to pull him out and shield him. The child, identified as Zoya, was unharmed and continued to play after the incident. Dust devils usually form on sunny, hot days with light winds and typically only last a few minutes before dissipating.
