Love the sportsmanship from opposing teams in these. From admiring the home run to giving high fives as the batter runs the bases. Teaching these kids right
The era of the combats was wild. My last couple years of LL were the last years for the bats. I remember hitting balls further with a LL bat than a BBCOR HS bat.
We had the Easton Reflex when I was coming through in the 90's and that thing was stupid hot. That and the Black/Teal TPX, I can remember hitting absolute nukes with those, and the hot corner was literally dangerous.
I went to the llws great lakes regional tourneyment a few years back and we had this kid who was about 5'10 at the time (at 12 years old) who could really hit hard home runs and not actually in the regional tournament but in the state tournament he hit a walk-off homerun so far gone that we went back and measured how far from the fence it was and we measured around 275 feet, a complete bomb. That was an awesome game
I would opt for height/weight limits. Children at this age are wildly apart on development. Some of these "little" leaguers are as big as grown men - not fair!!
@@1badtubemanit’s not fair to not let kids play because they have good genetics lol. To say it’s not fair because they’re better is kinda dumb just let them play
The Little League power swing is strikingly different than the modern Pro power swing. Most of these hitters finish mid-level around their waist and under their front shoulder, which is a key sign of a cut swing. It's the best way to hit the high pitch rather than swing up and finishing high to hit the high pitch like is taught in the pro swing. The LL teams that teach the cut swing excel and make it to the LLWS. The LL teams that teach the modern pro swing lose.
These kids look 15 years old or more playing little league. They need to be playing on 300 foot fields with all the juiced bats and stuff now. A popup mostly is a HR with these tiny fields compared to the size of some of these kids.
I noticed this too, except the kid from Louisiana. Makes you wonder how truthful the teams are about the ages of these kids. The kid from Japan hit the ball right above his wrists as was jammed inside….. Still hit it out…..
@@chucke4294 I mean do you understand biology my dude? The difference in growth between kids at such a young age is huge. I was under 5ft going into my freshman year of highschool 3 years later I'm 5'8
You don't home runs like that first one because the bats are too light and like a twig. It seems like after about 2014 or so the bats got too light. They stopped hitting bombs so far
That would be a triple at a MLB Ballpark if these players smash the balls 300+ feet. Let's see if they can hit a Home Run against a Pitcher from the MLB, with 90+ MPH pitches!
Who gives a shit what type of bat they are hitting with Man they are frickin Kids and Still entertaining so Let them Play ball Lol you must of Been one of Those odd kids who didn't/couldn't Play LL, every comment section I read there's Always someone like you😂😂
