Los Angeles Dodgers star Cody Bellinger has been hitting home runs for a very long time.
The 25-year-old hit a two-run blast during Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Little League Twitter account couldn't help but share a video of Bellinger from the 2007 Little League World Series.
At the time, a young Bellinger was representing Chandler, Ariz., in the LLWS. With two outs in the top of the third inning, Bellinger hit a two-run homer to extend Arizona's lead over Maryland.

Bellinger isn't the only player in this year's Fall Classic to get his start in the little leagues. Charlie Morton, Blake Snell, Austin Barnes, Walker Buehler, Kenley Jansen, Joc Pederson and Julio Urias all played for their local little league teams.
With 12 former little leaguers competing, we can only hope that the Little League Twitter account will continue to upload highlights from their young baseball careers.
