Wonder if this will be another forged birth certificate scandel

his shoe size is a 19

Shaq O'neil was 6'6 with a 17 shoe size at 13 years old

lawl, I saw that too. Usually there is always one kid on the team who looks a few years older than the others, but this kid is 285 lbs.

But is it really an advantage being that big in a little league game? Besides the fact that is probably stronger than all of the others.

Yes, def.

I dunno if it would be that much of an advantage. Imagine growing over 4 inches in the past year. How would your motor skills adjust? Surely it has to have an impact.

Rumor has it George Steinbrenner just signed him to a million dollar contract.

I would think he would be able to kill the ball. Also, be able to through a lot faster. Does he have an advantage over a normal 5' tall 13 year old? Yes IMO.

His hand eye coordination would probably not be as honed as someone who hasn't grown over 4" in the past year. Most of these kids have hardly even had a growth spurt, and would have no difficulties with any coordination issues.

His strike zone would be huge. He doesn't need to throw hard he is a first baseman

So being taller means you can throw faster and hit harder? I don't think so.

Not just taller. He out-weighs these kids by 150 + lbs.
