- Asia-Pacific and Florida played in the 2024 Little League World Series Championship Game. There is a special message from Wheels at the end of the video.
Covering sports in a unique way since 2018.
If you’re looking for high quality sports content, then this is the channel for you! I’ve covered Baseball (NCAA, LLWS, Professional), Football (NCAA, NFL), Softball (NCAA), Basketball (NBA, NCAA), Hockey (NHL), and much more!
The best part of my work as a TH-camr is being able to provide coverage of sports that may not receive as much attention as they should to the large audience I have built over the years. Many of the sports I cover aren't posted by any other TH-camrs, which makes this channel that much more important.
One of my favorite accomplishments is revolutionizing the way sports channels create thumbnails. I've adopted two different styles, one with logos on the left and a game snapshot on the right, and the other with the logos in the middle and game snapshots representing both teams on either side.
I have a combined 4 years of experience as a Baseball & Basketball Play by Play announcer, which is where I learned my skills for commentary/breakdowns.

Seeing the Florida coach immediately embrace the Taiwanese kid at the end was the best part. Great moment in sport.
amazing
18:03 I totally missed that, thanks. That was a sports moment there!
Yeah that was very kind of him
As a coach, it’s important to never let a kid hang their head down, whether their your players or not. Both teams accomplished so much, no reason to hang your head !!!!
For a few precious moments, those Florida kids embraced the weeping Taiwanese kids, crying themselves, knowing precisely how those boys felt. For those precious moments, their empathy superceded their joy, and I was so proud, and in tears too.
Wheels, you're seriously one of the best sports highlight channels on YT. Thanks for cutting together an outstanding final for the LLWS.
I agree!!
@@erickgarcia7787 wheels has been the best channel out there for baseball coverage, and the CFB vids in the off season are amazing. we gonna sponsor his channel soon.
The best
Excellent editing and production quality.
No doubt about it. Your coverage is second to none
That short stop play should be on ESPN. Great game. Love LLWS
Thinking same thing. Both SS were incredible
it is
I agree. That shortstop play from the knees throwing to first was incredible. As a former shortstop I know what that took. I made a clip and sent it around. That was a real highlight for me.
Especially the first baseman's reaction!
Absolutely amazing game. These kids played their hearts out! Great coverage of LLWS thanks Wheels
The Florida coach who embraced the kid from Taipei made my eyes swell up. He knows that kid’s heart is broken, but he was there to say “ya done good, kiddo!” To both teams, you done your countries proud! Great game!
What a game had me on the edge of my seat the amount of runners stranded in scoring position was insane. Man it did feel like Florida was gonna get one eventually but couldn’t have come any closer. Hats off to both teams played a hard and incredible game. This is gonna be an all timer and one to remember how bout them Flawda boys👏👏👏
Credit to Florida but that overtime rule where both teams start with a man on second is very dumb
@brianmeen2158 There is no overtime in baseball. But they did go extra innings. They put a runner on 2nd base in extra innings in MLB also.
Florida coach had a lot of haters during this title run. Personally, I think he was one of the best coaches I’ve ever seen in the tournament. Never saw him anything but patient and supportive of his players, got his boys to buy into winning it all as their destiny, coached an aggressive brand of baseball, and made the game fun for his kids. Wish every coach in this tournament could say the same.
And then at the end, in real time with the Taipei player? I think he showed his true colors. I’m for Hinsdale, but very happy that Lake Mary went on to win it all. They represented with class.
2 best staffs for sure. Steady and always in the moment. Always looking out for the kids.
Ehh he was a little obnoxious with his celebrations earlier in the week but this was a great moment. I believe him with the whole Divine Intervention thing. God definitely had a roll to play in this.
@@traviro3329I hear you, but I don’t love the idea of god getting involved with the outcome of youth sports. Those young men from Taipei didn’t do anything that would require a divinity to intervene and take away their chance at victory. I think god kept his hands off of this one and said “let the boys compete… may the best team win.”
@@AntiPlatitude I know it’s kind of shitty to interject God into this because in theory why would God play favorites, but I’m a believer so the whole thing feels too surreal to just be a coincidence
@@traviro3329 like I said, I hear you. I really do. I just hate the idea that my god would play favorites for a youth baseball tournament, and play a role in breaking the hearts of a team full of innocent children. I’ll just reserve my right to disagree with you, and say that the game was played very well by both teams, and the young men from Florida just played a little bit better… which **earned** them the W.
One team must win ..and one team must lose ..to me ..BOTH of these teams are winners ..the last play does not tell the story of that Taipei team ..what a great group of kids and coaches ..in both dugouts ..congrats to Florida ..you earned it!
Participation trophyyyy
That was a big-league bunt right there. Executed perfectly. He was obviously well-coached, and he was also willing to put in the time to hone his bunting skills, knowing that one day that skill would be needed. Today was that day, and he nailed it.
Also, I’d like to mention the good sportsmanship I saw after the winning run came in… I saw multiple Southeast players going to the Asia Pacific players who were having a somewhat emotional time dealing with the loss (which is completely understandable) and letting them know they played well, and to keep their heads up.
Well-done Florida boys. Way to represent the United States with class and talent. Enjoy your victory.
That was better than a big league bunt! I LOVE that a nearly extinct fundamental baseball skill and play at the pro level won the game- the beautifully laid BUNT! At first I put all the blame on Taiwan’s 1st baseman, then realized I think it was actually blown by 2nd baseman. While in hindsight the pitcher was best able to field it and 1st baseman could have been at the bag.. it’s the 2nd baseman who had no other responsibility besides backing up first base and should have been at the bag when it was clear the first baseman attempted field the bunt. I’m not sure why the right fielder was no where in sight either? He should have to back up first base as soon as he saw bunt.
Wheels ..you’re the best ..thanks for all you do ..not only for showing us recaps of the LLWS ..but also NCAAF ..and others ..
Florida had one of the best 2 game stretch’s in LLWS history …probably the best
4 games in a row. They beat HW, NV, TX, and AP
@@DomtaeJohnson it was already written. Can't defeat that! ❤
@@DomtaeJohnsonagree completely. They need to tweak the format so ALL teams must lose twice in order to go home. The winners bracket team is almost punished for not losing. You can’t have that in a tournament where you want to truly find the best team in the world
What exactly is stretch’s possessing here, the preposition in? Oh, you meant stretches. Got it.
@@DomtaeJohnson They did lol. Fixed it good. I know, i want to puke too.
This is easily one of the greatest LLWS games of all time. It was also amazing to see the sportsmanship by Florida to Taiwan. Also , the coaches story is incredible!!! Great job to all teams of the LLWS this year!!! Now it's time for FOOOOTTTBALLLL!!!!
The coach from Florida is a true gem. Going right out to the pitchers mound like that for the other team was true class at it's best. Amazing sportsmanship and empathy.
Great game! As a retired coach I love this time of year! Congratulations Florida!
One of the greatest Little League World Series I’ve watched personally. Taipei had the lead for almost the entire game until Florida clutched up when they needed the most and both had chances to end the game until it came to the very end of executing plays… both teams should be proud of themselves for one hell of a battle ⚾️
100% it's fun when there's a blow out like with Hawaii and So. Cal... This small ball game of execution was way more suspenseful.
My heart goes out to the Taipei, 1st baseman....... omg.... anybody who played the game knows what he's feeling. Hope his team supports him.
@@brad3706true
@@brad3706it was second bases fault he should’ve slid over to first
@brad3706 1st baseman did his job there which is to charge a bunt. 2nd baseman should be covering 1st
@@Dr.Acula76 They are just kids, let it go!
From Taiwan, congratulations for your first championship Florida!!
Thank you Taiwan for your competitive spirit
Great Game! We love Taiwan
You were very close to winning. I see your team and Florida as evenly matched. It was a 50/50 chance for both.
Taiwan played a great tournament shows they have a good baseball program in Taiwan
The game could've gone either way. What a game.
Congrats on the Florida team from Taiwan! The shortstop on the team is certainly going to shine in the future. What a great defense zone and arm!
6:41 that is INSANE defense
Bad Coaching 🤷🏿♂️
Insane is right. Wow.
Chase Anderson had play of the game.
@@davidblank5296It was a ground ball to short. Which part was bad coaching?
@@davidblank5296how?
Florida baby!! Great memory for the kids. Thank you Wheels!
Respect to Taiwan and that coach ! They will be back and great run ❤️🇹🇼
That was the same team of last years World Series! A couple of new players here and there…
Thank you for one of the most enjoyable sporting events I have watched. Both teams including players, coaches, parents, fans and umpires showed the utmost respect for the game and each other.
Florida first LLWS championship 🔥
The coach for Florida is so good sportsmanship
This was an awesome world series i watched as many games as i could there is some incredible talent in these young men PROPS TO FLORIDA FOR KEEPING IT IN THE STATES 💪💪💪💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
The FL coach consoling the CT is a class act. Congrats to Florida! What a fight from CT!
Congratulations to Florida!! Not just for winning but the for the great sportsmanship displayed - Actually from both teams! Watching this LLWS tournament I have been so impressed with sportsmanship shown by almost every team. Great job coaches & parents!! Also thank you WHEELS for your great videos, awesome job my man.
What a game! Thanks Wheels for all of your hard work!
uplifting to see these boys from both teams loving the game and respecting each other.
Big shoutout to wheels for being consistent and providing the whole LLWS for us!!! 💪👊
Bro's a machine. So cool to finally see him. Needs a better mic though haha.
Thank you Wheels! Gratz Lake Mary for bringing home the LL World Championship. USA USA
Thank you WHEELS! ⚾️⚾️⚾️Great Game ! ⚾️⚾️⚾️✨Lake Mary USA makes us proud, well done boys.😆😃😁✨✨✨
They will always remember this and their parade. To go to the Taepi players after their win was respectful and good parents and coaches. It was a A+
They need to lose weight
These last two games from Florida have been the most excited I’ve been watching Baseball since the Cubs won the World Series.
Can't ask for a more exciting LLWS championship game! Congrats to both teams, they are winners!!!
14:05 All Time clutch 🔥
Kid is goated
And great base running from Florida.
Thank you Wheels for all of the videos. Wouldn’t have been able to watch many of these games without you. Mvp
WHAT A GAME!!!
@@sportgeek2028wow. Who peed in your Cheerios
Unbelievable game. It had everything. That shortstop on Florida is next level, hats off to both teams.
Great job by the FL coach comforting the pitcher at the end
WOW. I can’t believe how skilled and professional they are at this age. Some of the plays these kids were making they looked like big leaguers! The short-stops from both from Florida and Taiwan in particular were INCREDIBLE in the field
As a Chinese American it was hard rooting for a specific team but congratulations to the boys from Florida! Great comeback win. Very special group of kids on both teams and hope to see them in 10 years in the pros!
Bet we'll see both short stops..... amazing kids.
I’m a Chinese American too and I was rooting for Chinese Taipei to win it all because I loved their personality, their spirit, and the way they were good pitching, hitting, and defense. However when I saw them crying at the end and were so sad, it made me sad too to see them cry and I understand them.
Just because your country oppresses another, doesn't mean you have to root against those people.
@JLlamas32 what are you talking about? Smh
@@jonathanlee2794 And the Florida boys, for those moments, cried with them in empathy and understanding. You wanna see heart and spirit, you watch LLWS, period.
#7 that started at shortstop. Yea we will be seeing him in the league. That kid is legit
Wow. What a game. Thank you for sharing these incredible kids playing the game of baseball the way it should be played, for the love of the game. Looking forward to your videos of college football as always. Peace Out.
Simply fabulous. These players are so talented and fun to watch. My thanks to the many, many people- players, manager/coaches, family members, and administrative people who put this together.
Wheels, no one compares to you..outstanding ✔️🕶
6:38 Somewhere, Trea Turner is like, "Someone is using the slide energy. I approve."
Awesome win Florida kids !!! Thanks Wheels !
I’m 30 now but watching these games takes me back to being 10-14, used to love catching a game on espn. Seeing those big moments those kids will remember forever is just awesome man.
Lake Mary was tenacious. The competition was tough, so it wasn't always in their favor - but they never give in and that kept them in the games long enough for the opponent's weaknesses to show. Fantastic job Lake Mary Florida USA!!!
Yes, the comparison is Ven starting pitcher Yepez, the situation is almost the same in the first inning and Taiwan scored first. Yepez became upset and provocative to umpire and lost 2 more in 3 inning. He still try to prove he is super hero and go to left field to catch out fly ball. Then he ran into the midfielder who dropped the ball to let Taiwan scored one more. When Venezuela finally scored in the 6 inning, it’s too late.
Lake Mary starting pitcher upset but not mad with umpire. And they finally scored in the 6 inning. The whole wind changed to their side.
@@chung-chitien4650on the money. Very true
@@chung-chitien4650 yeah yepez just couldn't figure out that the shorter kids had a shorter strike zone and it threw his whole pitching game right off
Dejesus w one of the biggest hits in the history of the LLWS - great job kid…..that’s an amazing story to tell for the rest of your life
Respect to Florida. They were unreal the whole tournament. Also love to see their coach hugging the Chinese kid, that’s what baseball is all about!!!
Thank You Wheels, your videos were the only way I could see these games. You have no idea how appreciated you are. Congratulations Lake Mary.
SPOILER BLOCKER!!!!!!!!!! MUST WATCH
Great man ty
NBC could learn a thing or two about leaving titles spoiler-free. Their highlight videos of the Olympics were atrocious with the constant spoilers in the title for all of their videos. It's a real shame their contract runs through Brisbane 2032.
@RanjitYoung true legend 🫡
@@AdderTude 😂
@@Judgeprodz16 much appreciated 👍🏾
After seeing all the other teams in the WS, it's amazing how diverse the American teams are in comparison. A testament to this great country. Grats to my Florida Boys and the Taiwanese team for their great effort. U.S.A!
I always thought Florida was the best US team so it great that they represented USA Today and they got it done. Hell of a run for sure. A ridiculous amount of baseball games to get to that point today. Congrats
I did too but Texas also had a great team
@@pablobeast1Texas didn't have near the pitching FL did, after their ace they were mediocre...
@@mikebird5148 I agree I’m from fl so I was always rooting for them but they did have a tough time whenever they played Texas
@@pablobeast1 that's because Texas threw their ace both times lol, and he was nasty, probably the best pitcher in the LLWS, but after him, Texas didn't have anyone that could shut FL down, whereas FL has basically their entire team that can pitch good.
Congrats to FL. Hollar from Pensacola. Prayer works and powerful. God bless these young men
What a great game this was to watch the whole thing, even though I wanted for Florida to win I started to get teary-eyed when I saw Taiwan crying.
Yea it was really sad as a florida supporter.
To lose it one on total misplay to allow the winning run to score. That's heartbreaking.
Dude they always cry they're 12 years old. They'll get over it and be playing table tennis and laughing with all the other kids hours later. Being on the world stage is a lot of pressure, and the well-coached teams like these two always handle it well. Huge props to the coaches who turns boys into men, it is a rare skill.
@@sntslilhlpr6601yeah I know, but something about them ending on a total misplay was just a little sad
@@Poe912 Eh, it happens. It's freakin little league, man! Don't look at it as a misplay, look at it as a perfect bunt. Because it was, and that's rare on the small field.
That Florida team played and won 8 games...truly incredible. 1st ever. Tough way to lose but if that runner in 7th kept going home, he was going to be safe 100%
That 3rd base coach for Florida @16:30 was an absolute knucklehead!! Thank God he didn’t end up costing them the win! His initial “Go! Go! Go!” was spot on as he would have EASILY made it home. Then he inexplicably panicked “STOP!”
Thanks Wheels for all this coverage of LLWS !!! 🙏🏽
Love watching the llws , great games these kids play their hearts out,,✌️
I said this Florida team and Coach remind me of the Tennessee Volunteers team and coach 🔥🔥🔥 comeback kids with swag
I did see your earlier comment on that. Both teams just refused to quit
@@joelbeaver1093 definitely ! was a great game
As a Floridian, I can't believe that our kids have never won the LLWS before, but I'm happy that it's finally happened. \o/
I know! I live in lake mary so this makes it so much better!
First team to win 8 games in LLWS history 🔥
7 haha. 8 wins isn’t possible.
They went 7-1 lol
Won 7

Its definitely possible if they went to losers bracket the first round @Brandon-qd2lb
I love little league baseball and look forward to the Little league World Series every year. I coached Little league for several years in California as well and my Taiwanese wife was the designated scorekeeper. Both teams did a fantastic job and are both Champions but one team has to lose and one team is crowned the World Champions. Taiwan can return home with their heads held high with memories of a lifetime. I am proud of these amazing Taiwan baseball players and of Florida. This was one of the very best Little League World Series Championship games I can remember. My wife is also from Taoyuan county and we go back to visit family every year.
I am from Harrisburg Pa. My Dad took me to LLWS in the 1970's before I was 12. I remember Taiwan players looked like High School players. They were HUGE! Congratulations to Florida and keeping it in the USA!
Back then most of them were like 15/16 yrs old lol. Half the international comp was cheating in those days.
@washedupwarvet2027 Yeah, it was pretty bad back then. I expect the U.S. to win most of the championships now that the playing field is more evened out. Another disadvantage for the U.S. is the number of different leagues we have. Only one league is represented at the LLWS, so that means that much of our best talent is not represented.
That's because they weren't 12 years old, international teams were banned from the tournament in 1975 for cheating
@@321gatesbrother, just accept the fact that baseball is a Latino sport. We eat sleep dream baseball. 44% is the mlb is Latino. (Majority of mlb are Latinos.
Two Equal teams in a game for the ages!! It came down to an error that decided the championship 🏆.
The American coach embracing nd consoling the opposing team playwr will always be in the highlight reel for years to come. Its moments like those that make Little League basebal so Special!!
Congratulations to both teams. You are both winners.....😊😊😊
Great game. Both teams were fundamentally great and played their hearts out. The fact it went into not one, but two extra innings proves this.
Congratulations Florida, you fought hard and earned it
Fundamentally great until the last play. Where's the 2nd baseman going on that bunt? Should be covering 1st
Both teams did their home towns proud.
@@Dr.Acula76 Eh, it happens. The stupid automatic runner on second makes things feel weird and it was a perfect bunt. Brain fart. I don't blame him, I blame the bunt. You don't often seen a perfect bunt in LL. Not enough room.
Unreal. After watching my hometown kids from El Segundo do it last year to Lake Mary breaking the 0-8 drought this year has been crazy to watch. The pinnacle of sports IMO because of the emotion and honesty in every player. Their skills aren't top tier yet but you see it in them. Hate to see kids break down at the end from all they've invested but Chinese Tapei already has 17 LLWS titles. Time to bring one to Florida!
Ty Wheels for letting me view this wonderful event on utube
Good work boys! 4th st is gonna be LITTT 🔥🤣
Well done boys I knew the US would take it
For FLA to have that kinda pitching depth with all the pitch count rules and play 8 games and still have this kid available to come in and close is pretty remarkable.
What's crazy is, they still had 2-3 other guys that can throw great, they were loaded with pitching
I told everybody in the Texas vs Florida video that I think Florida will win it and people said I was being unrealistic 😂
Ikr
I knew they were good enough just Taiwan plays so disciplined I knew it was gonna be hard and that Florida had to play just as disciplined and they did and it ended up being Taiwan who was undisciplined

@@purpleperc1012 Ya.. the most important play of the game and it literally cost them the game
Best Little League Championship I've seen in a long time. Great job Florida, you represented the United States very well.
The strike zone is absurd at this level.
I gave up trying to figure it out when 16:00 was somehow strike three but the next batter at 16:09 was ball 4
This ump is fantastic. There had to 200+ pitches. If I round up to 10 missed balls/strikes, that’s 95% correct. (He didn’t miss 10 tho) His outside corner is refreshingly correct and not 6” off. His high/low was textbook. I thought the female ump did great behind the plate too. It’s possible these umps are instructed to have a liberal strike zone early/middle stages of the tourney, otherwise these teams would run out of eligible pitchers because of the number of games played in such a short time.
@@dmdcreations tell me the umpire is your dad, without telling me he is your dad 😆
@@pixburgh1215it was inside, but overall the umps were very good in this game.
@@brokencontrollergaming6878 let me try, it’s my first attempt at this tired meme. Tell me how to improperly apply a meme without telling me you don’t understand it’s supposed to be true
Thanks Wheels for putting these all together!! I have never been able to watch the entire LLWS until now. Watched every game and most of the regional qualifiers. Excellent editing on your part. Can't thank you enough.
USA has now won the last 6 LLWS championships !!!!!!!!!! Some of my favorite teams are Japan and Taiwan but stop glazing these international teams and saying our best play “travel ball”
Travel ball teams should not be allowed and disguised into playing LLB tournament
No disrespect to international teams, but travel ball does have the best United States players.
@@Mr.Davs2216 I know but I’m saying people use that as en excuse every year and the United States won the last 6 😂
@@sportgeek2028 travel ball should just play travel ball tournaments. They have no business playing LLB
Up here in Mass the kids play both. Travel ball season ends right before all stars starts. But travel ball teams aren’t the same as all stars. The better towns/cities seemed to have moved to cal Ripken these days. 50/70 is definitely fun, I’ve never seen a league swap that way and come back to LL.
Really was an amazing game. Low scoring LLWS this season. Great work Wheelsie.
That first base umpire screwed them over by saying the kid swung past the plate when he didn't cross the plate.
Florida coach lifting that kid up was special.
Anyone feel that Japan was the best team in the tournament and that they got upset twice? Even Venezuela I would argue they were the best two teams but this beautiful game is full of upsets ❤️
It's hard to say who is best. Even Texas was a really great team.
No they weren’t Japan had 1 pitcher and hit below 200 as a team 😂😂 Venezuela pitchers had no command and walked a lot of batters …you were wrong from the beginning and acting like Japan won the championship after 2 games

That ump tried desperately to ruin the game(as per usual) again for these kids @13:38. An investigation of the umpire staff is duly needed. And those individuals who hired them
Got to remember 1 thing. As long as ESPN(BIG MONEY) is involved nothing will change.
@@jeffhunter3346 Bruh it's a volunteer organization. You think they're getting kickbacks from volunteer umpires? That's a new one.
It was a really bad call, but to think conspiracy was involved is taking it a little too far.
I found the stat interesting that this was the first extra inning championship since 2007. That game was won by the same region, the southeast, on a Dalton karicker (probably wrong spelling) walk off home run, which IMO is the greatest moment ever. Thanks to wheels for these videos, see you all next year!

That was the BEST Baseball Game I’ve seen all year, that Shortstop for Florida #7 man that kid can play.!

A couple notes - Florida's short stop is a baller!
The ref almost screwed Florida with the wrong call on that check swing.
13:20 not an easy catch to make at any level . Sun in the face on the biggest stage and kid did it effortlessly , respect to that Taiwan team 👍
