His name is Alfred Delia. Back home, they used to call him Big Al. These days, he still hits dingers.

Delia became a star during the 2018 Little League World Series because of his amazing introduction. It was nearly impossible to watch Delia simply tell the world he hits home runs for his team in Middleton, N.J. without feeling a full sense of joy.

Flash forward and these days, quite a bit has changed for Delia and the world around him. But one thing that we now know for certain is that he still enjoys hitting the ball out of the park.

Delia, now a high school senior at Red Bank Catholic in New Jersey, just crushed his first homer since joining the varsity baseball team.

While he can still go yard, Delia said that people no longer call him Big Al because he is not very big anymore.

The senior plans to play college ball at Felician University, per Asbury Park Press.
