Leyland Henry Jr. is making waves in the baseball world and is quickly gaining attention for his incredible talent and size at such a young age.
At only 12 years old, he is already going viral with his impressive home run-hitting abilities and his mature physique, resembling someone much older and experienced.
Henry has captured the internet’s fascination, particularly with his recent grand slam over the center field wall in the 12U baseball world cup, where he stood out among his teammates and opponents due to his towering height of 5-foot-10 and weight of 210 pounds.
Of course most people on social media can’t believe he’s only 12 years old.

Hailing from Houston, Texas, Henry has already established himself as a formidable presence at the plate, having hit seven home runs in just nine games during the World Cup qualifying rounds. Team USA emerged victorious in the world championship with a score of 10-4, thanks in part to Henry’s contributions.
He ended the competition with an impressive batting average of .519 and 1.563 OPS. Henry, slated for the class of 2029, also possesses a fastball that reaches the mid-70s, further showcasing his potential in the sport.
With his promising skills and physical attributes, some even speculate that he has the potential to become the next Shohei Ohtani, a current superstar with the Los Angeles Angels.
The thought of Henry following in Ohtani’s footsteps is both exciting and intimidating, considering Ohtani’s remarkable performances in the present moment.
