Because catchers don't have gloves, they have a mitt and that ball when he made the tag was in his right hand. He didn't tag him high, he put it right on his chest. He was probably surprised that the runner kept coming.
Don't act like this was just some normal baseball play, because it wasn't.

And yet, I showed that video to 2 guys that also coached little league, and both thought it was excessive. And one of them has the reputation of having girls throw at the heads of opposing batters in retribution for hitting HRs.
People like YOU are what's wrong with the world. Tough talker on the internet. Bet you can't back it up.

Baseball parents.

I drew some odd looks from parents for my diametric responses over the years.
When my kid was playing youth soccer at a very young age, the goalie on the opposite team took a nice kick flush in the face and fell down crying. All the kids on both sides rushed to that kid to see if he was OK. Except for my kid who took the ball and put it into the open net. My joyful exclamations were not appropriate for the moment.
Then when he was in the HS football pipeline on the 8th grade team playing CB, he got blind-side crack-backed and he went down and stayed down. I was taping the game for the coach at the time. I kept taping. I figured if he wasn't OK, they'd ask me to come down. (P.S. He was fine, just got a stinger. Didn't play anymore that day.)

So you wanted him to step out of the baseline and attempt a swipe at the guy as he runs buy?
Are you insane?

In fact it's so easy that it's done 99.99999999999% of the time.
The reason this tag is controversial is because it virtually never happens.
You're acting like this is a normal, fundamentally sound baseball play. That's horseshite.

He just kept running like there wasn't another person there waiting for him. You never see that happen, which is why it occurred in the manner it did.

Correct.
You normally don't see people run into stationary objects like their eyes are closed. Blame the runner; don't blame the wall.
ETA: No one got hurt. It's no big deal. The kids, coaches and parents all learned a lesson that day.

This.
At worst, the catcher is no more guilty than the baserunner. Two kids are running directly at one another and the bigger kid wins. It's physics. It would be another story if the catcher kept running through him.

Right, because either the baserunner stops and attempts to retreat to third base, or they stop and concede the tag. They don't usually just keep running right into a catcher coming up to make the tag.
