CHEveryone’s arguing about the Pottstown bat flip.
That’s the easy part.
Nobody’s asking how we got here.
That team didn’t just show up like that.
Adults built it.
Adults set up the cameras.
Adults decided what was worth posting.
And now the same adults are debating whether the kids have bad values.
They don’t.
They’re doing exactly what they’ve been shown matters.
Here’s the part parents need to understand…
Kids don’t separate the game from what gets attention.
If something gets celebrated, clipped, reposted, and talked about…
that becomes the standard.
Not the approach.
Not the at-bat before it.
Not whether he can do it again.
The moment.
So now you’ve got 12-year-olds learning that the moment is the point.
And that’s where this starts to matter long-term.
Because this game doesn’t reward moments later.
It exposes what’s underneath them.
That’s why this conversation isn’t really about a bat flip.
It’s about what’s being built around these kids…
and what they’re learning from it.
Who taught him that the flip was the point?
