Before these talented young players take the field in Williamsport for the 2015 Little League World Series, teams first took part in filming of their skills. Teams stretched and threw together and took part in an evaluation both offensively and defensively.

During the hitting portion, players went through the Easton Hit Lab where they could choose their favorite stadium to hit in (little league dimension). Exit velocity and distance were measured off of the barrel. Players had the chance to swing two different Easton bats and choose which one to keep.

Here are some standout players from the United States to watch during the Little League World Series.
