A nasty incident unfolded during a youth baseball game in Kansas City when a coach allegedly told his 12-year-old son to throw a ball into the opposing team’s dugout. In the now-viral video, the 12-year-old son, who was the Oklahoma team’s pitcher, was seen hurling the ball into the Nebraska team’s dugout at the end of the game before walking off the mound.
The incident took place during a Memorial Day tournament game between 11-and-under baseball teams from Oklahoma and Nebraska, respectively. The Oklahoma coach was identified as Michael Ryals, and he received a lifetime ban from the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA), according to USA Today. The coach’s son who threw the ball was suspended five years; his name was not published because he is a minor.
