Which rule allows you to call the kid out? You can't make stuff up to suit your purpose unless the league you work for has such a rule in place. LL doesn't.

What I should have said is that the league I have worked for has such a rule in place. They've had a lot of issues with kids throwing bats.

If your league is indeed affiliated with Little League, a local rule would not be valid without a waiver from Williamsport. Can't change the playing rules on your own.
