For those who have played Little League baseball before, you know the feeling of having the brief moment of spotlight when you step up to bat. With all the action taking place at the plate, the batter gets the attention of all his teammates, fans, and parents in the stands.

That being said, when the batter fails to get on base, the disappointment can sting a little bit. Well, one Little League umpire tried to make sure one batter would never forget striking out.

After the Little Leaguer takes a pitch over the plate, the umpire brought all the attention to himself with one of the most exaggerated strike three calls ever made.

Watch the video below, with a hat tip to Deadspin.

But this must be an isolated event, right? Just when you thought there can't possibly be other umpires at this level who act out a strike three call like this, this man proves us wrong.
