Yasiel Puig Surprise Pitches at Northeast L.A. Little League Field

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig surprises a little league team in Elysian Park.

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie star Yasiel Puig made a surprise appearance at a Northeast Los Angeles Little League practice Thursday in Elysian Park. 

According to social media accounts and videos of the visit, Puig tried his hand at pitching to the little leaguers, posed for photos and signed autographs for kids and their families. Puig spent approximately 30 minutes at the field, according to media reports. 

Puig may have also proven he is not suited for the pitcher's mound as multiple kids cracked his pitches into deep left field, the video shows.
