The problem isn't the fact that the kid is good the problem is teaching the kids its OK to not take on a challenge and to give up and walk away.
Forfeiting a game because the pitcher is to good is rediculous....you get up there and take your hacks...if you get a hit great, if you strike out at least you tried.
Bottom line is the kid is 9 and playing in a league for 8-10 year olds...deal with it. Either hit the kids stuff or not....but don't walk away without even trying. WTF kinda message is that

I agree. This is spoiled American BS. I'm going to say the kids dad throws the ball around with him and has since he could walk. The other parents drop their kid off to be babysat by the coach. Like everything else you reap what you sow. It's a great life lesson. Work hard and you are rewarded not kicked off the team. What a bunch of spoiled brats.
