Gavin Weir is a little league pitcher receiving Chris Sale comparisons. That’s how you know he’s good. So, what else should we know about him?

Weir plays for the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Little League team, and is showing out in Williamsport. Just as so many future big leaguers have back in the day, Weir is making his first appearance on our television screens at the Little League World Series.
