Then I saw the following in the comments section. Obviously this guy knows the whole story (and it must be true or the internet wouldn't print it!)
Classless act This was a classless act by a couple of kids who think they are bigger than the game of baseball. From my understanding of the incident from people who were there, these players were upset about the pitcher's brother (shortstop) striking out on a called third strike in the previous inning. This was their way of retaliating against the umpire. It was a blatant act of revenge. When a pitcher and catcher get crossed up, rarely does it ever result in the catcher completely missing the ball.
For those who do not know, this pitch was probably somewhere in the 90 mile per hour range. This pitcher was drafted 15th overall in the draft that occurred yesterday so he is not simply a high school pitcher. He is a "kid" with major league talent and skills.
Kudos to the college that rescinded the catcher's offer. For a college who probably has coaches who have been around the game of baseball their entire lives (and seen pitcher/catcher cross-ups) to so quickly act the way they did should be enough to indicate this act was deliberate.
Actually the kid who threw the pitch was his younger brother. Ethan was drafted by the Dodgers yesterday. His younger brother Cody was the pitcher in ths game.
