Phenix City’s Little League team is making a historic return to the World Series after 25 years, led by pitching phenom Kinley Rasmus—daughter of former MLB pitcher Cory Rasmus. Kinley dazzled with a complete-game shutout in the regional final, striking out eight and allowing just three hits, while also hitting second, playing shortstop, and delivering clutch at-bats. The Rasmus family legacy runs deep: her grandfather Tony coached the 1999 championship squad featuring her uncles Cory and Colby; Cory now serves as assistant coach, while uncle Case, Tony’s son, is head coach—and Kinley’s cousin Ryker, Case’s son, plays first base and pitches too. This isn’t just a team—it’s a dynasty in the making, set to open their World Series run August 19th against the Northwest Region champs in South Williamsport.
