Disabled Pitcher Cut From High School Team

A Florida high school baseball team's decision to cut a double-amputee player from the squad had critics crying foul.Pitcher Anthony Burruto -- who has prosthetic legs, can throw an 80-mph fastball and was featured on the cover of ESPN the Magazine -- was cut after he tried out for Dr. Phillips High School varsity team.Coach Mike Bradley's main concern about Burroto was him trying to field bunts off the pitcher's mound, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

This kid is nasty if you throw 80 mphs with two fake legs imagine what he could do with real legs and the muscles to back it up with. If the only reason why he was cut from the team was because he was slow at fielding bunts that is total BS. So what if he has no legs if he can throw that fast who gives a shit he prob throws faster than half the league he plays in. I'm pretty jealous of this kid I can only throw like between 68mph and 74mph on a good day. Hopefully this kid someday can show all the critics and play on the HS team in the near future.
