Kinley Rasmus Emerges as LLWS Breakout Star
Kinley Rasmus has become the breakout star of the Little League World Series for Phenix City Youth Baseball (AL), delivering clutch hitting, standout defense, and two-way pitching. She went 5-for-10 in the tournament, with a .583 on-base percentage and a 1.183 OPS, including a record-tying eight strikeouts in a start and closing a 4–2 win with a key infield catch. Her dominant run has included multiple innings without allowing an earned run and a string of shutout performances, while her family’s long MLB pedigree adds to the hype as Alabama progresses through the lower bracket toward the U.S. Championship.
