Which MLB stars have played in the Little League World Series? Current stars who featured in the tournament ft. Cody Bellinger

The Little League World Series is back. While it may not seem like a harbinger of MLB success to be good at baseball at 12 years old, there are a surprising amount of current major leaguers who spent time on a LLWS team.

The Little League World Series features the best young players in a given region. They still have to go through middle school ball, high school, possibly college and then all of the minor leagues to get to the MLB, but it's been done plenty.

Cody Bellinger might be the most notable to do it, since he won an MVP and a World Series. Here are some others that did it, too.

Which MLB players were in Little League World Series?

Several small-time MLB players, such as Cory Rasmus, Ben Hayes, Christian Bethancourt and others, made it all the way up from the Little League World Series, but there are also some big-name stars that did so.
