He was way out of position. It's not the first time I've seen a LLWS umpire at third base get caught directly in line with the runner, being screened by F5.

I believe LL teaches U1 and U3 to drift down the line in foul territory when the ball is batted into the outfield, and then move toward the line for a play at their bases. It looks like this guy just didn't drift far enough.
