yep, they just burn them out so they can win the 14 year old county championship tournament and get their name in the paper.
when i was 12 and in the local LL there was a kid who was like 5'10" as a 12, which was pretty big. once he turned 13 he played on some "select" team and i never played against him again until we were about 16 i think. i remember being scared of this kid when i was in LL because he was so big and threw so hard, but when i faced him in 16 yr old ball, i think he threw harder when he was 12. he was ruined.
he was pretty dominant in LL but was essentially useless when the game stepped up to new levels, where you start to see standouts and kids that you know will go on. he went the opposite direction everyone thought he would go.
