Ump got that MLB strike zone

[@jphjphjph]

Good, everyone would be commenting about it if he didn't. He seemed to be consistent for both teams too.

[@michaelhorsey5871]

Love to see you umpire

[@jphjphjph]

@@michaelhorsey5871 you’re right I’m the ump

[@bryndayy]

Seems like wildly tight. Some of these I can't even figure out how they are called balls. Like 6:48 how is that not good height and over the plate?

[@yurifrommw215]

Better than calling strikes 3 feet off the plate like most little league umps

[@hankshepherd2310]

umpire was brutal. usually the zones are too big but that was WAY too tight

[@TWolfyG]

That’s baseball lmao 😂🧐that’s how it should be

@@tommytanks25 they are a few years from HS lmao who wants to see balls 3 feet outside called strikes?

[@Phillyfanprodz]

Thx for uploading these

[@brohome1287]

this is like college umpiring, strike zone was tight for kids

[@zeusdeuce7438]

Better than all those regional ump’s, I agree it was tight but people are going to complain either way

[@trxv.]

juice wrld could of made a song called “all umps are the same”

[@DxipNinja]

All my friends are on New Hampshire

[@zeusdeuce7438]

I think this umpire must have been watching your regional video highlights and saw all the umpire comments because he was tight 😆

[@walker1662]

umps in llws either have a very wide zone or very tight zone

[@masontronsor2734]

Even though they should be Australia jerseys I like them for California…if Little League wasn’t lazy they should have had custom jerseys made for states this year instead of reusing old ones

[@bryndayy]

I mean they are fresh jerseys every year...maybe the delta stuff forced their hand too late for redesign? Definitely weird seeing US teams in the international jerseys. Would have liked to see color flipped versions of their region or something like that, seems easy to design.

[@gabbysims3032]

I think they did it to honor the international teams since they couldn't make it this year

[@VenomGaming-hf7sg]

Tristán lucier Is really good

[@Ggv19128]

How come no mph radar track this year? I know the age change definitely diminished the high end of the talent pool that's yearly here but some of these kids have to be throwing high 60s

[@Azian2DaMax]

they have it during some games, but not others. i watched a game a few days ago on espn and that broadcast showed pitch velocity. don't really know why.

[@StephenHSmith-mn4iq]

from what i seen today, hawaii and california are clear front runners. lookin forward to watching the teams tomorrow

[@cadenielson3784]

Watch for Louisiana

Those outside dots from NH should have been strikes

[@Kapono15]

Torrance baby LETS GO!!

[@Waimanalo_EQz]

TEAM HAWAII💙🤙🏽

[@tfallow3014]

another example would be the play at 2:50 he threw over the catcher, landed off balance ran to the plate had to hook back to the plate just to get there and was way late getting there, the catcher had to hold the ball forever

[@joeheid4757]

Attention all Little League pitchers!!! The normal strike zone is back!!

[@MH-Tesla]

Not normal. It's horrible for this age

[@joshualong7368]

Ump is extremely tight.

[@anthonypapol4252]

9:56 I have never seen a Little Leaguer just give up on a play after making an error and not be hurt.

[@scoobydr3ww]

In that situation the CF should be backing him up and at that point should be closer than the right fielder therefore your taught to stay out of the way 9f the relay

[@2332Stephen]

If hes benched next game I wouldn't be shocked haha

[@saltyfeller4904]

@@scoobydr3ww That's assuming that the center fielder is backing up that play like he is supposed to be, the right fielder gave up on it because he was frustrated that he missed the ball. The physical error is excusable but the mental error is not.

[@jessevega263]

If I was the coach he would be benched for the whole tourney

[@KevinSar]

MMMM that was TOUGHHH strike zone

[@derrickaustin24]

It’s clear some teams didn’t win their regionals because it’s a couple teams that don’t look deserving but unfortunately since no INTL teams can’t come soooo

[@anguswyles9694]

That was the first good strike zone I’ve seen in little league

[@qwuzzy]

19 for Cali definitely has MLB player mannerisms lol

[@tfallow3014]

these kids are tough, but ive been the pitchers in several games get ate up because they are finishing pitches in the wrong positions. do they not teach them to finish square to the plate anymore?

[@pitbull65taz]

Need a catcher that doesn't waddle.

[@jaywil5687]

Did Louisiana play?

[@KevinSar]

this new hampshire team isnt bad, but honestly if they were in the west region they'd probably come in dead last. west region has 2 reps this year they might just see each other in the championship!

[@EggClimDumbo1282]

why do little leaguers look less advanced than they used to be in previous years

[@brobro330]

I was thinking the same thing like the 2016 World Series that was a fun one to watch

[@bryndayy]

They are 8 months younger and probably missed out on a lot of practices because of covid. Plus twice as many teams. Will be interesting to see which one is more significant.

[@brobro330]

@@bryndayy very true but 2016 was definitely one llws to watch

[@EggClimDumbo1282]

@@bryndayy the bats are dead now too, its not as much fun without the offense

[@jesseiannello6209]

Never seen SO MANY STRIKOUTS

[@Horsejamez]

How did California and Hawaii both make it to Williamsport?

[@thinglizzy2718]

Because the international teams can’t make it because the virus, the top 2 teams from each domestic region made the tournament this year

[@Horsejamez]

@@thinglizzy2718 ohhh ok

[@rykerethelston5706]

Do the pitchers bat in this league?

[@dobbydobbs188]

Umpire was forsure squeezing New Hampshire but that catcher was not helping his pitchers at all

[@2332Stephen]

My lord..did California pay off the ump or something.i saw at least 5 outside/inside corner strikes that were called ball on a 3 ball count. This has been the tightest strikezone I've seen and that's good but damn alot of those look like strikes on the corner against california

[@chriswhooley9007]

And some of the same ones seemed to be called strikes against New Hampshire

[@jacobtennyson9213]

Looks like the kids from NH are not ready to play. Losing focus.

[@diego30s]

felt bad for that poor catcher... he even turned to the ump at one point.. like.. really ump.... c'mon man... you're ruining the game.

[@TheBearGrappler]

9:37 What happened to fundamentals, like two hands on the catch? Well, at least #20 can hit

[@StephenHSmith-mn4iq]

shoulda flipped that thang over

[@TWolfyG]

That’s not fundamentals that’s bad coaching lol 2 hands completely effects range and receiving of the ball. One hand is correct

[@MH-Tesla]

This isn't 1950. They don't have oven mits for gloves. The outfield catch with two hands had been a thing of the past for 40 years now. Time for people to catch up.

[@TWolfyG]

@@MH-Tesla watch a average major leaguer and tell me how many use 2 hand to catch a pop fly 😂 I’ll wait

[@MH-Tesla]

@@TWolfyG the guys that are getting ready to throw. You have your throw hand ready to transfer when a runner might tag up. Otherwise it's just one hand. Balls do not pop out of gloves like in 1950. But coaches still teach a two hand catch...🙄

[@elgranbetoo1613]

Ump smh

[@mississippiboys358]

Wheels is dad

[@eagleford1]

this is probably gonna be the worst llws we’ve had between the kids just not being as good as they used to be the reused jerseys not even having the state on them and overall it’s just not exciting as it used to be

[@bscoot6570]

This ump was terrible I felt so bad for the New Hampshire kids

[@pitbull65taz]

3:45 What in the hell is wrong with that guys face?

[@stayreal4l760]

Little league kids are allowed to use big barrels now??!?!

[@No.1LatinaLover]

Yes but they aren’t normal big barrels, the bats that used to be used in the llws were far better than these

[@PadresAllTheWay]

My team got beat by California to go to llws

[@07Dsach]

This dude has the smallest strike zone I’ve ever seen in a little league game

[@TWolfyG]

That’s a real strike zone lol your just so used to seeing the big zone over years.

[@TWolfyG]

You’re*

[@MH-Tesla]

@@TWolfyG actually is not. The llws zone is wider. The mlb zone isn't even applied to varsity high school games. It's a terrible zone and this umpire should not do another game behind the plate

[@TWolfyG]

@@MH-Tesla lmao you are responding to all my comments 😂 this is how games should he called… who wants balls 3 feet outside called strikes? Gtfo

[@MH-Tesla]

@@TWolfyG No one. What we want is a good and accurate zone. Most good umpire training describes how the zone should be called for 9 year olds, 12 year olds 18 and mlb. At 12, we want at minimum an extra ball on either side. We widen the zone. Anyone calling this guys zone at this age needs a new job. They are absolutely the worst possible umpire to get stuck with as a coach or youth pitcher.

[@SetlistPlughc]

i’m surprised the new Hampshire team even made it they were awful in the regionals

[@perezzeeb5719]

they won their region by like 10 runs

[@EMMmaximino]

does mickey mouse supply this league with gloves?

[@PK-xs1kk]

10:47 Up by 9 runs you do not steal they're pieces of shit for that

[@MH-Tesla]

No it's not. You need 10 runs to mercy. You HAVE to save pitching so getting 10 is huge.

[@earljohnson8887]

[@jeremyholiday2256]

you’re in the little league World Series and you just give up on a ball cause you missed it?!?! I would’ve been benched on the spot if that was me🥴

[@snakeriverfisher]

terrible umpiring

[@CheeseWillyFarter]

No not really just the zone was tight that’s all

[@bryndayy]

Well the one at 8:05 is like identical to a bunch of other ones that were called balls. Not sure why, they were well over the plate and good height. Disliked the side arm delivery? Strange.

[@deroc101]

One sided ump
