The standard for  for an amateur is "Competitors and coaches who have competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them)." Little League is the highest level available in baseball for people of her age. Her gender makes her a rarity in the sport, and her accomplishment has been achieved by only a select few. She has been honored by the Baseball Hall of Fame and the President of the United States as the article states. Contrary to the above opinion, this was not just a local story. I live in North Carolina and remember reading about this in both my local paper and the USA Today. The article is sourced with independent third party sources. This person is notable by amateur athletes standards
