Actually started to time after the first couple of pitches. Fastest pitch took 23 seconds the longest 1 minute 5 seconds. Just spent the entire time in the set position, looking around at the various bases, whether there were runners at it or not.

That half inning took over 30 minutes to play.

Maybe he was seeing ghost-runners...

It's Pee Wee A in Canada. Lowest level of ball for 12 & 13 year olds.

Time for an informal postgame chat with the coach. "Coach, he's working so slowly that your fielders are back on their heels. If he works faster, everyone in the game stays more focused."

Agree with first sentence, although I probably wouldn't wait until after the game... perhaps after the 2nd such pitch. Disagree with the rest though - don't coach.
