Baseball Rarity: 6-Year Old Little Leaguer Turns Unassisted Triple Play

May 15, 2012 by Jamie Reidy 1 Comment

Jamie Reidy shares a cute video about an amazing Little League occurrence: an unassisted triple play.

In the history of Major League Baseball, only 15 players have turned an unassisted triple play.

As CNN reports, six-year old Ross Bernath thinks it’s no big deal:

As a former Little League coach, I can tell you how amazing it is that Ross even caught the batted ball to start with. But knowing to touch third base for the second out and then diving to tag out the other runner? Incredible.

Way to go, Ross!
