An unfortunate news surfaced around twitter when a Little League coach named Kenneth Wendt was seen showcasing a misconducting attitude towards 9-year-old junior baseball players. His poor sportsmanship was caught on camera, the coach actually took out his frustration on a few 9-year-olds, unbelievable, right?
Kenneth Wendt, a sergeant with the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office, was fired for the actions he displayed after his 9-and-under Scorpions Baseball team lost a match to Prospects Baseball on Saturday.
The two teams lined up, ready to high-five, as the big guns so. But Kennedy Wendt, was the only small gun there with the wrong mentality, seen in the video wearing khaki shorts, took it too far. He’s seen bumping into the first kids in the line. Even the parents felt frustrated calling him too aggressive.
“Nothing in the world gives you the right to do that to kids,” Prospects 9U baseball coach Victor Torres said. “How is that even possible, you hold them to a higher standard. And then you come out here and do that to kids, to 9-year-old kids.”
