The Little League World Series is upon us, and one young player has stood out from the rest.

Gavin Weir is a pitcher from Sioux Falls Little League, which is representing South Dakota at the Little League World Series. The young pitcher, whose motion looks just like Chris Sale’s, has been dominant.
