WATCH: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Batter" isn't a bad nickname for this stance a Little Leaguer used at the LLWS over the weekend. Even funnier? Indians Slugger Yasiel Puig using it in an MLB game haha check it out!
VIA CBS Sports: A cherished aspect of baseball's ethos is to learn how far one can operate outside of the accepted norm without being punished and to then operate even a bit further outside than that. To wit, Venezuelan Little League player Deivis Ordoñez showcased on Saturday an unusual, elbows-to-knees batting stance intended to provide the opposing pitcher with a New-York-apartment-sized strike zone. This being baseball, you knew it was only a matter of time before a big-league player paid homage to Ordoñez's genius. As it turned out, it took less than 24 hours.
On Sunday, Cleveland outfielder Yasiel Puig doffed his proverbial cap in young Mr. Ordoñez's direction by mimicking his stance against the New York Yankees and CC Sabathia.
Take a gander:
