A parent on the LL Facebook page is already pushing for a required protective shirt or vest for all batters in LL. Fortunately, it's unlikely that this will happen -- it was a freak accident, the first such accident in LL since 1990 (and it was an 8-year-old then). This is tragic, but it happens rarely. It will happen again. We can't put our kids in bubblewrap.

That said, it's a tragedy for the parents, teammates, friends, league, and also the kid that pitched the baseball who likely will feel quite a bit of guilt about this for a long time to come, if not forever.
