The young baseball player for El Segundo, Louis Lappe, was born and bred in California by his parents.
Louis came into the media limelight, grabbing attention after becoming the hero in the latter stages of the Little League.
However, not much is available about the youngster’s personal life, including the whereabouts of his parents or any possible siblings.
Louis Lappe is a two-way athlete for El Segundo, representing California and the West Region in the Little League World Series.
He stands 6 ft 1 inch tall, which is exceptional for a young player at 12 years old.
Nicknamed “The Natural,” the young player carried his team throughout the regionals.
Recently, Louis played a pivotal role in bringing home the Little League World Series championship title after a 6-5 win over the Curacao.
In short, he scored a walk-off home run in the final to secure California the championship, marking his tournament-leading fifth homer.
Regardless, he won’t be eligible to compete in the Little League World Series from next time onwards, as only players aged 10-12 are allowed.
Louis Lappe Parents: Dad Is His Role Model
Louis Lappe maintains a high level of privacy and has no presence on social media platforms.
According to reports, Louis’s parents gave birth to him in 2010 in California.
Despite being the Little League star’s parents, the Lappes are adept at maintaining their distance from the media’s crosshair.
Nevertheless, according to ESPN, Louis claims that his dad is his most prominent role model who continually inspires & motivates him.
Thus, information about them is non-existent on the internet.
Likewise, there isn’t sufficient information to confirm whether the athlete is the only child of the Lappe family.
Similarly, it has been speculated that his parents are from Germany. ‘Lappe’ is a family name in Germany.
There is a strong possibility that Louis’s parents immigrated to the USA from Germany before his birth.
