- Reece Roussel had the best individual performance in Little League World Series at Williamsport in 2019. He went 17-23 (.739), set the all time hits record in LLWS history, and tied his teammate Marshall Louque for most doubles in LLWS history. His team, from River Ridge Louisiana, won the LLWS title over Curaçao. This video provided all of his big moments in the 2019 LLWS to a large audience of baseball fans, and it educated them to show just how well he performed at Williamsport.

I just watched this dude take his gloves off for 13 minutes.
they suck
Boberto I meant as in he hit and got on base so much that he kept taking his gloves off. Meaning he’s a great player hahahaha
@@yeahjace3436 whooooossh
God first always
Jackson Hampton lmao
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
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.
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?
i wanna see this kid in the big leagues one day. 2028 ROY
Chuck 2026 Roy he coming straight out of high school
Truman Moyer bjf
Erik
,
Gonna be another Juan Soto
@Kronical i thought its only 10 through 12
“I’m telling you hitting is NOT easy” *literally 2 seconds later* “GRAND SLAM!!”
Dudes swing is crazy. If he gets bigger when he’s older he will dominate
@@michaelsuh5457 agreed
@Williams Baseball oh damn really? that's a bit upsetting
@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.
Imagine this kid being able to use bats from a couple years ago 🤯
he would of had like 7 home runs at least
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.
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?
Urban Outdoorsman they changed them to USA bats
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
Bill Coyne Bill
Bill Coyne that swing a Cody Bellinger all over it
Also has a oversized nose but just appearance doesnt matter
Not even
Don’t compare him to Cody Bellinger
I love how the announcers slowly start to realize that this kid is really, really good
Best overall hitter of the LLWS all time.
I totally agree!
The whole team can hit
Erik Pederson I know it’s crazy
Belli bombs played in the LLWS
@@gingerstover3257 after watching that i agree
Him vs Gavin Weir would be fun to watch.
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!!!!
After coaching and officiating in Little League for over 30 years, I can honestly say that I've never seen a player like Reece Roussel.
young christian yelich type of player
I think he’s more like Cody b just because the swing is so simalar
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
Nate Burnett I know, I’m just saying his swing looks a lot like bellingers
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.
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
The best part about this is he seems like a humble kid with a lot of talent, gonna seem him in the mlb one day if he wants to continue baseball
Aaron Duran He is very humble he is my best friend he loves the game of baseball
RealBanana bs
Hey
hes not even ranked on PG bro
Dudes swing is crazy. If he gets bigger when he’s older he will dominate
Even if he doesnt his speed and ball placement are spot on most of hits weren't big but they got on the gaps. Would be a great lead off hitter
Dylan Blackstock you can’t control where you hit the ball lol
@@xdultra730 yes you can
yea fr i think he has potential
CF found an idiot
Reece Roux-sel! The kid can hit, always could. Very humble kid with great parents.
He had to be humble with that goofy stutter..
You know him?
That opposite field home run was extremely impressive. This dude is a hitting machine.
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.
That grand slam swing was so beautiful. Kept the hands back looked real professional. I’m amazed
I had a chance to meet Reece in Metairie when I was out and about. Super humble kid. An inspiration to all athletes.
Kid reminds me of Ichiro. Bats left, right field, throws right, hits EVERYTHING. kids gonna be special.
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
Very true
bradyeggleston 1 true.
bradyeggleston 1 these bats are still better than bbcor which should be used imo
bradyeggleston 1 true
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.
john balme majors will be hard with him being 13 playing on a 220 field
@@actualTroopa i did say in 8/10 years when he will 22/24 years old.
ok trumptard
@@drudown6527 is that some kind of american joke??
Griffin McNeil ok griffin
Walked in skeptical. Walked out convinced
I know we will se him in the MLB years from now. I just loved watching him play.
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.
I got the ball :)
@@KnightOfMorality Young man was a special player. Too bad none of the youngsters get to experience it this year.
Great LLWS coverage. This kid was the most exciting to watch.
With a usssa bat some of those would have been homers.
Every pitch in the llws would be a homer if they used usssa bats
@@maxwellius11 no not really it's only 20 30 feet added
@@ilusionclan on a 225 fence itll definitely turn alot more pitches into Homer's. And with some bigger 13 year olds (this kid) would be no problem
They are, they are -5
You know the corners are 170 right and dead center is 225 low fence all around
Love how he immediately looks at the 3rd base coach when he rounds first. As far as the swing, reminds me of a Griffey Jr/Will Clark hybrid. We're gonna be watching this kid in the big leagues for years.
Why look at the coach just look at the ball. The ball tells you what to do. You never really need the 3b coach to run the bases. Ever
@@dirtydan6098 you do from 2nd to third. Unless you're Linda Blair in the exorcist, you're not gonna see it behind you in a full sprint.
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.
7:58 that stretch with the graphic is the hardest thing I’ve ever seen
We got a young Will Clark right here man... Sky is the limit for this kid..absolute flawless swing especially for a LL'er....RR is a joy to watch
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.
Imagine rolling into Williamsport and just getting as hot as the sun? Must have been a blast
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
Havent seen the kid celebrate once what a legend
I will never forget that grand slam I hit. I was so hyped up when I hit it. I’m grateful for the opportunity I had, thanks guys!
Reece Roussel real dude
I coached my boys for years. This brought tears to my eyes. Awesome
Pure hitter. Doesn’t try to do anything fancy, just good contact. That was fun to watch as a coach
Watching his dad constantly getting hyped up was my favorite part
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.
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!!!
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
Remember the name. This kid is making the big leagues
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!!!!
That play at 4:26 was incredible. Too bad Reece was so quick
Closest he was out of all the highlights
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
My guy hit the ball EVERY game he played in! That’s insane!
Incredible swing for a 12 year old, him and Curley Martha really stood out this year and cannot wait to see what happens with them in next 10 years
Not once did he stand on second base after a double and start pounding his chest and screaming at his dugout. Class can be taught.
Why would anyone "down" vote this video? No soul? No heart?
That Kid is Awesome!
Its called a dislike boomer
Cant wait for his LSU highlights
Stunna Island he ain’t making it that far he can’t hit it out of 250
xxTLane he’s only 13
lake showlebron bruh you hit on 250 in fucking 11u in Louisiana and we driving the ball out bruh 13 not hitting out 250 is pathetic
@@xxtlane You dont need to hit homers to be a good player.
LCSClips he went 0-11 for the weekend I’m not saying he is bad he just went into a rec World Series and is a travel player
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!!!
What that kid did is special. Emotional when he hit the grand slam ⚾️
I don’t even watch baseball an I’m in tears watching this kid. A role model for all teens right here. Amazing!
Rarely do you see an actual good swing in LLWS. This kid has a great one
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.
Been waiting for this one wheels glad you made it 🔥🔥🔥
Marshall louque and him are insane Marshall had two homers in the regionals
That diving catch was sick
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
Famous last words "you cant get him out"
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!!!!
Can’t believe how good he is
go away fortnite kid
Bet
@@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.
Felix PlayzYT ok fortnite kid
6ixsoren as much as I hate fortnite give those kids respect
A 13 minute highlight reel over 2 weeks? Holy shit this kid is amazing, people are saying "Oh some of them are ground balls" doesn't matter if they're grounders, matters where he placed the ball after the hit. Yall just don't know baseball
Holy crap hitting machine. See you on tv at the majors!
God this takes me back to watching my little brothers team crush 1st place after 1st place in all their tourneys at this age
He's gotta have the record for doubles as well.
darklordojeda he is tied
And the other kid he’s tied with is on his team. Talk about some dogs
@@Sum_nasty That's awesome. I'm glad they took out Hawaii and Curacao.
He and Marshall louque both broke it so they are tied
“He keeps pounding the ball. He may not stop at second but he does. How good is Reese rousell? He’s 6 for 9 in the little league World Series.”
Can the Mets offer him a contract now?? the braves basically signed Jason Heyward when he was playing Tee-Ball !! haha
This is the definition of dialed in.. Kid can put the ball anywhere with that swing. If LSU was smart they'd offer now.
I swear he looks like Yelich. Long, lank build, beautiful swing, loads of bat speed.
Same number too
really hope he's still playing. kid's got the natural talent to go as far as he wants in baseball.
Reece Roussel. RR=railroad=train. Nickname =TRAIN
remember watching this kid. unreal performance. hopefully he is still playing
Kid is quick and can hit the crap outta the ball
The last thing I ever thought I’d watch was little league baseball, but that kid is a beast!!
His swing reminds me of josh Hamilton. Hell of a swing.
His arm positions at contact is a bit like Griffey. Very compact.
Set an all time record for hits and doubles, absolute llws legend. Plus not to forget the bats preform no better than wood, so that’s impressive
You’re telling me little league composite bats are no better than wood?
Now one for Curley Martha💥
So happy to see this !
Obviously loved by his teammates !!!
Who in their right mind gave this video a thumbs down? I guess I answered my own question, they weren't in their right mind!
Haha probably people who’s are hater on how good he is
It was the kids that he hit home runs on
Their mind ain't right.
After he hit the home run and walked in you could hear “SHEEEEEE”
Man, I could do this if my coach hadn’t hit me every single at bat in 2nd grade and made me afraid of the ball
yeah sure the only ones doing good for themselves are the ones that can take a ball and help themself our so your coach was doing you a favor
@@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. Now that I grew up a bit, I got a lot tougher and now I’m not afraid anymore, but I’m below average and hitting and when you’re left handed you don’t have many positions compared to rightys. I’m not sure if you were trying to call me a bitch baby, or help me reflect, but either way, thanks.
(I’m not trying to suggest you were calling me out, I don’t want smoke, but just in case)
Bruh says the kid with the roblox picture
@@user-ts7xo8bw3u i’m a lefty too it’s actually more of a blessing you get to focus on specific spots as when your a righty you’ve got to learn you way around basically everything
@@carrvillnerve7180 imma be honest I sucked at it too, couldn’t throw from 1st to 2nd lol
This kid is going make the transition to the next level so easily. the way he hits between the gaps and to all the fields he'll be playing for years to come unlike the kids who only swing for the fences
We need another slap hitter in majors again like ichiro and rose were
Fag Bag McNeil
Gary Sheffield was the best LLWS hitter ever. Played in back to back LLWS and hit .850 with 12 HRS over that time if you count the regionals, which are now part of the LLWS. They weren't in the early 80s. One of those HRs was 450 ft. He was 12!!!
Got a. Christian yelich swing
Man he put them boys on his back and brought home a world championship, not many can say that.
The best game i have ever have batting was in a all star tournament and i went 4 for 4 with two singles and two walks and i have never been good at hitting but the game after that i went 1 for 2 with a double and i think i might have brought in a runner Edit: Like i said ive never been good at hitting for as long as ive been in actual kid pitch which is 4 years but now im going into middle school baseball if i make the team i play pitcher first and third and my pitches are two seam slider sinker curveball knuckleball and i can throw a changeup but dont use it same with the curveball but i use the curveball a little bit
The best part of this is part of a south Louisiana tradition, a cultural thing. Reece was there with his parents who watched him very politely and chivalrously decimate the opposition. He was having fun but Mom and Dad were in the stands watching their kid succeed - and in the process, they were going NUTS. This was a FAMILY outing for them - and from the look of it, EVERY family member was having a boisterous good time - Reece with more decorum since he was on the field. This is the TRUE culture of south Louisiana, where FAMILY is the center of your life.
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.
He definitely had a couple HBP/Walks. Probably a 2.000 OPS overall. Just insane.
That’s the best swing I’ve ever seen at that age..I mean I’m no little league scout but I like to watch the llws. I’d be surprised if this kid isn’t in the MLB
Why can't there be more l people like him on No Days Off?
I know, they should put the llws kids on there
@@joelpozos4499 nah
This kid was absolutely unconscious at the plate. He was ridiculous
I'd love to see Egan Prather highlights
Hmm.. maybe. I’ll think about it.
@@WheelsYT curly martha!!!
Wheels do you even know who tony gywnn is?
Only 53 kids in the history of the little league World Series went on to play in the big leagues.... that’s unreal, that’s how hard it is to make the majors and we see how great at baseball these kids are... missed watching the little league World Series last year, Covid ruined that.
He look like a young George Bret
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)

Unless Richard Shenk or some other hack instructor gets a hold of him and ruins his swing.
