It's safe to say that's one of the most impressive llws performances ever but can we not take a second to respect the amount of class this kid had while kicking ass and taking names?
He makes it look like its easy to bat over .700 and ill tell you its not. Its actually kind of improbable. Doesnt matter what age they are because theee kids arent exactly your average 12 year olds playing here. What he did was really quite amazing.
We all became big fans of Reece. A little Cody Bellinger. With a inspiring attitude. Was fun to watch and a had to watch player. Just like the rest of your team. Congratulations. Bill
@Crispy Toast sure that may be right in some instances but i’m showing how you go from saying hitting isn’t easy in the easiest tournaments of a lot of these kids lives to talking about a kid hitting nearly .750. some pitchers in the LLWS are decent and can throw upwards of 79 mph which from 43 feet isn’t hard but the reaction time has to be pretty good to hit it
@@michaelsuh5457 Nothing special about his swing. He is a little big for his age that helps for 12U ball. He sees the ball well; good hand coordination. Stands way too close to the plate for advanced pitchers. I wish him luck. Probably a really great kid.
Idk if that's true, most of his hits are low liners. In fact, I think the new bats may even help him, because the barrel size is bigger. Sure, the old bats may have given him a few more homers, but they also might have taken away more hits when he doesn't hit the ball perfectly.
This team from LA put on a show for all fans. They were a complete team. Hitting, pitching and defense. What stood out the most for me though was their love for the game and respect to each other, fans and other teams. Showed CLASS. I'm from PA and when they won their regional tournament I thought they'd be the team to beat. They proved me right. Great Job!!!!
David Long however Rousell isn’t really a power hitter. Yes he hit a lot of doubles but he swings more for contact. Also a lot of his doubles were liners. He’s still amazing though
The bats they use in Little league suck nowadays. Kids used to stick the bat out years ago and hit homeruns. As he gets older and stronger the power will come.
honestly really impressive hitter. can hit it to all sides of the field, can extend on outside pitches and pull the inside ones. very rare for a kid that age.
Reece is fantastic, the whole team is just awesome, we gonna see this boy in the majors in 8/10 years, i fell in love with the whole lot of em, its boys like this that will make America great again, his parents must be soo proud of him and the team, hell i am proud of him and i an not american i am from England.
Congratulations on the win and Reece on the record it's definitely something to be proud of there's not many people can say they were in the history books at 12 years of age and set the bar high and the team work was Best out of all I seen there wasn't anything any of them couldn't do ! Congratulations y'all definitely earned it !!! And congratulations to the good coaches that's definitely a dream team to have!!!
And to think he just missed a three run homer in the first game against Hawaii in the sixth inning. Foul by about 2 feet. Would have tied the game. Kid was on an absolute tear.
My favorite highlight is at the 6:18 mark where as he's rounding 1st he is already looking to his 3rd base coach for instructions on a stand up double or to stretch it to 3. Pure fundamentals.
Best answer to a question : I just see the ball and hit it ! Probably the best team ever to win at Williamsport . Great job boys , you all played like true champions
Wow. How fun would being THAT good at the perfect time be? Hitting can just escape you randomly sometimes so to stay so consistent against the most consistently elite pitchers at 12 years old is just unbelievable.
Man i gotta agree with the announcer. Not just in baseball but when you are elite at something i call it being in the zone, you are in another realm where everything is shut out. It's not so much mental as just straight another realm of greatness
This dude was a bad somebody, this guy was just whooooo!!!!! I can definitely appreciate his humility yet at the same time, that dude got that Louisiana swagger, glad that they won it all!!!!
Greetings from the UK, battlng over 300 is excellent, RR, is more batting double that. That's unbelievable, from here on end the the leading batter in the LLWS should be given the Reece Rousell award.
If coaches actually field shifted they could accommodate him. But absolutely amazing batting, consistent, fights the count, stays in, and great attitude. I get the sense he is a quiet kid. Love to see this in the pros one day.
I’m 28 have been watching the llws since I was 4 years old. I’m from south jersey about 45 minutes outside of Toms River and this is not only the best all around player but team in llws history
Gonna see this kid in the show one day!!!! What a professional approach at the plate!!!! The announcers say he looks like Bellinger, I see it, but I think his approach and his hands remind me more of Michael Brantley mixed with Ken Griffey Jr. Bellinger, like most modern hitters, tends to uppercut his swing sometimes to get some more elevation. This kid stays down on the ball so well and just hits lasers to every part of the field!!! He follows the old saying: “Keep your head down, keep your eye clear, and hit em’ where they ain’t.” Beyond impressive!!!
@@Wsg440 nothing is wrong with having fun. We all have fun in different ways. I myself play Fortnite and play travel baseball. I am healthy and I play video games on my spare time.
Zero weak spots. Just hits the ball in every quadrant. Fun to watch hitters like this. Like to see a simulation between Art Deras (1959 LLWS) on the mound versus Reece Roussel (2019 LLWS) at the plate. GOATS
6:20 he wasn't watching the outfielders. As soon as he rounded first he almost immediately made eye contact with the 3rd base coach. Whoever taught this kid made sure he listened and paid attention to his coaches. It shows in his attitude and just trying to make contact to get the ball in play. AMAZING!!!!
What a boss. Can someone please tell me what his OPS was for the LLWS? It's gotta be well north of 1.000 with that batting average, and all of those doubles.
Ok. So, assuming he was 17/23, batting .739, as the video states. 7 doubles, 1 hr. That's a total of 27 bases in 23 at bats. Slugging an absurd 1.174. Then add his batting average to that slugging percentage, and you get a 1.913 OPS. That's assuming he did not walk or get hbp. I'm not sure if he did or did not walk. Could be even higher. Truly ridiculous statistics.
The sound of the ball hitting this kid's bat is unique. You could be getting out of your car in the parking lot and immediately upon hearing that sound know that this kid just hit another rocket. Can't wait to see what this kid accomplishes going forward.
Big deal... (seriously) BIG DEAL... This kid is amazing... What a pure baseball player he is... I wonder if he's as good in the field as he is on offense... I'm astonished that any kid gets 17 freaking hits in LLWS... The talent is so awesome, so this is going to stick for a while... I'm so proud for him and I know his family is too... God Bless Reece (and the entire Louisiana Team)
@@carrvillnerve7180 correct. But now it’s kinda too late to start now because I’ll be playing jv. Tbh, I was actually thinking of signing up again. I was a pretty big crybaby when I was 8.

@@felixxxlol6166 remember, these kids are 12 and 13. There are several major league players 22 and under. Hell, Acuna Jr is only 20. Where do you get 10 years?

You know a LLWS player is good when they have a 13 minute highlight reel.
RO3 learn some grammar
Most of these were ground balls but hey you get what you can get. Also what are the field dimensions on these fields
Mighty Gerot they’re extremely short, like 230 or something. But he’s twelve if you didn’t catch that
Gloriyah Boregah oh if I had played on this field the past 3 seasons I would have like 6 home runs

Imagine this kid being able to use bats from a couple years ago 🤯
he would of had like 7 home runs at least

C Wicht nah the ball goes so much faster off the bat and further even if they are line drives there gonna be smashed
What happened to the bats?

Landon Murphy I know but I’m saying his swing isn’t a power swing. He swings more for contact. He also has more of a Yelich swing to me
That grand slam swing was so beautiful. Kept the hands back looked real professional. I’m amazed
That opposite field home run was extremely impressive. This dude is a hitting machine.
Dudes swing is crazy. If he gets bigger when he’s older he will dominate

I had a chance to meet Reece in Metairie when I was out and about. Super humble kid. An inspiration to all athletes.
honestly really impressive hitter. can hit it to all sides of the field, can extend on outside pitches and pull the inside ones. very rare for a kid that age.
He does not hit it 250, but he is VERY consistent, gets many hits and hey he got a grand slam
To be fair he would hit it 250 if he wasnt using a dead bat
