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
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
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.
Most folks don't realize how hot the old bats were before they changed the standard to the USA bats. Swinging some of those old bats on the small fields was a blast back in the day.
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
I think they should make the fields deeper in center field than at the foul poles, same as in professional baseball. That would help a little and also be truer to the game.
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.
I hit two home runs in Little League both in the same game and both cleared the fence higher than the score board. Looking back I was not known as a power hitter more of a kid who hit for average and stold bases. I did have an inside the park home run when I walked never slowed rounding first stole second as the throw to first went into right field, went to third and the throw there went wild and I made it to score. Bet you never saw one like that?
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.
You have to love the juiced bat era, pre 2017 when Little League made bat makers to entirely changed the composition of all bats. Most of these home run bombs were pre 2017 (look at the year on the screen) and would have been a can of corn 2017 until present, again, MOST, not ALL of them. It's very hard to hit a home run today, look up the stats per LLWS website before 2017 and 2017 to now, a huge difference. Home runs are fun and exciting to the players, coaches, fans and viewers. I know safety safety safety, Little League, you lost a lot of viewers. Hitting a home run is an amazing memory for any kid at any level. I hit several bombs myself in the 1980s, when the aluminum bat technology was new and terrible, it was like hitting with a tin can and the balls were like hitting a mashed potato, but I remember every single one of those homers 40 years later.
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
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!
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

I’m glad they kept scoring, teach them young not to follow the unwritten rules, hopefully this next generation will eliminate them and fix baseball.

Yea man high five me for pimp dick slapping my fastball 100 feet over center.
I don’t want to see people in the pros after somebody hits a 500 ft cockshot high fiving the hitter that’s not sportsmanship
No.
The kid who is pitching on that first homerun? Yeah, his reaction was everything!

Combat B2 was basically a rocket launcher
i loved those exo grids the red one and those demarinis were insane lol
BBCOR was the pusification of high school baseball. I remember the "ruling" well.
B2 Combat gave a lot of kids D1 offers than they were humbled with bbcor or wood

Become a man at age 12, it doesn't matter how good you are

This was so great to see all these young people, doing what they love but to see a team from Uganda really blessed my soul...
I was in these play-offs in Pennsylvania around the early 70's . What terrific fun!
The opposing catcher low key giving the home run hitter a low five in the first clip is fantastic
My name is big Al and I hit dingers 😂😂
About time for LLBB to move the field back. Same distances as when I played LLBB back in the early 60's. Kids are much bigger, metal bats.

How could you miss Luke Ramirez? He had some bombs!

His HR’s were crazy elevated , but they landed like 3 feet from the fence
When I was 12, I still looked like I needed to be potty training. What are they feeding these man-children???
Hormones in all our food contribute to preadolescent development.
@@peterrodby2786 Or you know… just genetics? Some parents who grew early pass that on to their kids.
12 and potty training is crazy
when i was 12 i was as tall as my dad
nothing they test for, science that is.
the crazy thing is the hand eye coordination...these kids sending all kinds of pitches to the moon
Wow! This video alone is probably why they changed the max age for Little League to rule out these man-childs who hit puberty before the tournament.
They need to make these stadiums a little bigger
Not with the new bat+age rules they don't.
nah, homeruns should be possible...that's the point.
That first pitcher was so funny!
When kataro is now a japan nationals player
so many old dudes busting their ass trying to catch the ball. had me dying the whole video 🤣🤣
It’s difficult to believe that some of these hitters are really 12 years old. Those are some amazing hits.
These kids came out the womb with protein shakes in one hand and a bat in the other.
A kid hit a shot on my son , and my son smiled and said WOW. 😅 Good sportsmanship. 😅

Left and right should be 250, left and right cent 275 and center 300.
Agreed

I think that first home run would have been a home run on a major league field. That was a monster.
Sick vid!
All those big kids hitting moon shots and it was little Cody Bellinger that went on to hit nearly 50 HR in the MLB
What really happens when mom says to finish your broccoli.
Could you imagine if the pros used metal bats
They'd kill pitchers with comebackers.

The mounds are closer to the plate in little league. The fastest ever little league pitch would be 96 MPH in the majors.
@@anderson74 96 from a Little League pitcher... That's comparable to a MLB Pitcher like Derek Jeter.
They’d homer at the corners at some parks
@@mynintendogamingfeed5208 considering the average MLB fastball is 91, 96 isn’t bad.
the balls aren’t juiced either lmaoo
the one at the very beginning, wasnt there such a thng as the mercy rule back then when this game was played?
This was when the bats were cracked and had hella pop
1 homerun was a solid 963 ft 137 off the bat
The age change was necessary, super necessary
Maybe they need to move the fences back at least 30-50 feet.
18-0 is crazy enough, but 18-0 IN THE THIRD INNING?!
These kids are becoming fricken bionic...
Is it me, or do these little leaguers look like they are 26 years old? They look so much bigger than when I was in little league.

You want to cut down on hitting. Go to wooden bats. Not this composite bats. Makes a .500 hitter .750 a .750 hitter .900

Why are there no stats about distance
they need longer fences. fun event, the dimensions are too small...
mound moved back, bases, everything. a single in between two infielders practically rolls to the fence every time...
Hi
Since when do they always celebrate home runs at the plate? Save it for the dugout. It's unsportsmanlike
Alright, how old was that first kid? He at least 19.
