Little Leaguer uses work gloves as batting gloves -- and goes deep

August 12th, 2022

Say hello to Aydin Jeffress. He plays for the Gillette Little League All-Star team representing Wyoming in the Mountain Region of the Little League World Series, and he is the definition of country strong.

In Sunday’s Opening Round game versus Snow Canyon, Utah, Jeffress blasted a no-doubt, two-run homer in the third inning to give Wyoming the lead. And, if you look closely, you will see that he did so while sporting some unique gloves.

Those are definitely not your standard batting gloves. Those are more like work gloves that someone might use to carry timber or handle scorching materials.

But in a way, that makes sense for Jeffress since he obviously swings a hot bat.

Unfortunately, we won’t see any more of him in the LLWS, as Wyoming lost that game to Utah and was eliminated with a loss to Montana on Monday.
