Its because of little league that im becoming a big fan of baseball...as a brit living in the UK we dont have anything comparable to the scale and coverage this event gets....that was such a great game to watch as a nuetral and im loving the passion not just from the players but the families in the stand cheering there kids on....Keep On Keeping On guys and well done to ESPN for great coverage.
Never doubted Florida ! They’re too good but their 3rd base coach is the worst I’ve ever seen in my life …he legit left 3-4 runs out there by being greedy
@@bestedits5385 this Chase Anderson ? Nice plays at shortstop tonight but just saying against teams like Hawaii and Texas that could be a difference maker
@@gkxzb482 yeah it’s obvious the systems or leagues these teams come from are elite . I coached little league and we have a solid program but our all star team is not in the same universe as these teams are
SD is well coached for a young team. They were clearly overmatched here but they kept it close with solid defense and fundamentals. I love to see that from young ball players.
That was a great game, very entertaining. I think I started watching the Little League World Series in 1976 when I was 13, I'm 61 now and pretty sure it's 2024 😅, and I try to catch as many of the games as I can each year. You get to see some great baseball with the odd error or fumbling of the ball that you get with 12 year olds. Even when the 12 year olds are among the best players in the world for their age.
I rarely comment on things. but I saw this Feliciano kid throw in the regionals and just seeing him today. He is different. Thats a smooth delivery and electric ball he is throwing
Same. He was the difference in the regionals (I live in Warner Robins where SE regional is so got to see some of the games) and it looks like he's continuing to dominate at Williamsport. Great pitcher.
I swear this year's opening day was SO similar to LAST year's opening day 😱 first 2 international games have no hitters like last year. The first US game is a 3-1 win like last year and the second US game was a 2-1 win 😭😭😭
he told that first kid to Stop 4-5 times but he kept running so that wasn’t the 3rd base coaches fault.. but yes, those other incidents were so bad - that coach needs to be sat down and reprimanded after that lol
You do realize thats how professionals coach 3rd base... you send them send them send them and run down the line towards home and put up the stop sign late. Watch the MLB, they all do that. Its to gauge the throw
Correct fire. We called it instigating a bad throw. The 3rd base Coach sends the runner back to 3rd as soon as the fielder releases the ball, hoping to cause an errant throw
Lemme just say that Florida 3B coach shouldn't be coaching never seen any coach send a player home to make the 1st 2nd 3rd out Your taught never make the 1st or 3rd out at home with less than 2outs
I agree I from. Fl he to aggressive on base running this lake mary would be up alot more if wasn't for that..ND I got some real good fundamental defense just don't have bat and pitching depth like fla
Florida honestly ended up getting a bit lucky. That walk in the 5th is called a strike in little league more often than not. Not sure they score at all if that’s a strikeout instead of a walk
Really impressed by South Dakota, obviously overmatched in terms of size and athleticism, but they played very well. If they get that strike 3 call at the beginning of the 5th, maybe they could've won
I've seen this in every game I've watched. I mean can't they get the players hats that fit or is it a trend to have a hat 2x bigger than your head?? That would drive me insane.
Coach ""STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!" Kid doesnt listen and gets thrown out as usual. I woulda been ridin the bench for the rest of the night lol. Also JJ's (#14 Florida) curve was looking sick out there. If he could work on a lower placement, it would be even better.
That 3rd base Coach almost cost Florida the game. Pissed me off when he was sent them with 0 outs. Big NoNo Coach, especially at the level these boys are on. They’re smart, so they will start 2nd guessing u soon if it doesn’t change
I love all of the base running comments. They know nothing about this FL team. SD executed on defense, but 9 tines out of ten FL's pressure on the paths is too much. Regardless, another W for FL.
Just not seeing the power from the kids this year. Basically warning track power. Not sure if it’s the equipment now. But I hope LL looks into cause the fans as well as the players want to see dingers.
@@Jajsnsjsnif you watched you would know that their 3rd base coach sold them & they were hitting the ball hard all night but credit to South Dakota defense making plays !
nothing made me as mad as that third base coach for florida he should NEVER EVER be a third base coach again. its as if he was on the south dakota team with how incredibly stupid his calls were like sending runner home on a double with no outs.. just so bad it was infuriating
@michaelwalsh8339 well I've watched every game this year and balls were leaving at every regional site fairly easily. Now we're getting line drives to 2nd baseman that barely make it
@michaelwalsh8339 Fully disagree. Overall these kids look better, very good fielding and solid pitching. And this isn't glazing, I'm pretty critical of the LLWS and the players. But they genuinely look pretty solid
@@Toast2005 i highly doubt any of these teams would even beat last years cali team,maybe in international but not u.s side..florida the best team in u.s pool this year,even Hawaii not to inpressive and they usually always solid,need more then 1 high caliber pitcher to win this
Get a life and a clue. Go watch ESPN if you want their woke second rate bullshit. Wheels is the best but you're not smart enough to know. Get off your Moms computer.
The 3rd base coach cost his tram at least to runs. Trying to out smart everyone and making himself look stupid. Moves like that works in regular season and maybe the first round of the post season but not this late in the season. Your team is putting the ball in play often, trust your kids to get hits and instead of trying to stream runs.
What is interesting in the parody of the teams . In the past a Florida team would blow out a South Dakota . Florida players can play all year with travel ball with allot of competition. I can't see that in south Dakota. So how do they have such good players I guess TH-cam
Its not a florida and South Dakota all star team tho. Lake Mary is just a suburb of Orlando and Sioux Falls is just a city in itself. Sioux Falls is also like the only city in South Dakota so basically it was Orlando versus Sioux Falls
@@chadambroz1016 that's another aspect that it's not unusual to see small towns with not a large pool of players to choose from . Many small leagues are lucky to have 2 major teams . Even with a smaller town if you live in a more populous state and have good weather to play travel ball all year long a player gains an advantage . Now some leagues ( even ones that are small ) put allot of effort to be successful . Great fields to play on including practice . They have substantial programs and many have fall ball but that's not as competitive as travel ball . The baseball etiquette that these kids show from all areas of the world ( even places like Europe ) is impressive. You just did not see that a decade ago . Any team has a chance to win as long as they have enough pitching
Big boy gets a double, runner thrown out at home and still he celebrated at second like nothing happened. Judging by his size I see why he celebrated. Probably first double in his life!

Exactly.... Something pro sports cannot deliver: all consuming passion of the game at hand.... nothing else matters.
I enjoy watching little league World Series much more than mlb
Never doubted Florida ! They’re too good but their 3rd base coach is the worst I’ve ever seen in my life …he legit left 3-4 runs out there by being greedy
Yep
Nah as someone who’s on the team right now it’s good to be aggressive
The one in the third or fourth was the kids fault the coach was on a mic and they showed it he was saying back back back
@@bestedits5385 this Chase Anderson ? Nice plays at shortstop tonight but just saying against teams like Hawaii and Texas that could be a difference maker
@@KirkoChainz12 he said “Back, Back” when the kid was halfway to home 😂
What a game. Defenses for both teams were just humming.
I can’t get over these shortstops. Every team these kids are so damn good defensively.
Most likely been playing all their lives and get go training so it’s all about reps
@@gkxzb482 yeah it’s obvious the systems or leagues these teams come from are elite . I coached little league and we have a solid program but our all star team is not in the same universe as these teams are

They had a good chance to win had they done something with that bases loaded no outs inning. Too many 3 pitch strikeouts.
Florida actually swung the bats really well. Just seemed like every hard hit ball found a glove
Both teams looked solid!
Yep 2 very good teams.. you have quite a few good American teams..
Except Dakota having bases loaded and no outs and doing nothing with it.
That was a great game, very entertaining.

Horrible 3rd base coaching by Florida. Trying to stop his guys at the last second cost Florida some runs.

Absolutely incredible game, everybody loves the long bombs, but something about a close almost flawless defensive game is just beautiful baseball
if you love wheels highlights!
That pitcher for Florida has some nasty stuff.
Terrible baserunning. But Outstanding defense.

He’s being aggressive…. They are young kids, and for the most part, aren’t going to consistently make those plays/ throws. I agree some stupid tho.
Little League is brutal sometimes... great game!
0:37 credit to that kid. He barely caught it, he was also one of the better 2nd base players in the tournament
one of the best games ive seen in a while! Fla is legit
Wheels we appreciate you bro always remember that
Florida honestly ended up getting a bit lucky. That walk in the 5th is called a strike in little league more often than not. Not sure they score at all if that’s a strikeout instead of a walk
Very true 👍
Also very unlucky tho. You see how many lineouts they had? They barreled balls all night that were outs
Yeah I thought it was a strike too. Then Dakota leaving the bases loaded with no outs.
Wow, what a game!!
South Dakota has a solid squad!!
3:43 what a play! 6:47 great play but cover 2nd zzz South Dakota catcher is good!
Lets go FLORIDA! Bring it home boys!
I played against that southeast team in states and we lost 4-2 in the last 2 innings. Feliciano’s got nasty stuff and good speed
Baseball is back in Williamsport
This tourney is loaded
@@brianmeen2158 facts lotta good defense
SD with cannons out there
Both teams looked good.. floridas base running was so rough
"be patient be patient" literally swings on the next pitch for an out 😂
Yeah, a high pitch at that.
Rooting for Florida this tournament!
Florida and Illinois 😃
@@brianmeen2158 !
Florida has a good team, but the 3rd base coach was way too aggressive for such a close game. Left too many outs out there on the field.
Is it just with a Baum bat 😂
Bases loaded no outs and they only get one run out of it. Bravo.
if u guys didnt see the hawaii game u have to watch it
6:45 bro is not a good wingman, that was a great play coming from a shortstop!
FELICIANO TO THE WORLD! 3:11
Really impressed by South Dakota, obviously overmatched in terms of size and athleticism, but they played very well. If they get that strike 3 call at the beginning of the 5th, maybe they could've won
Floridas pitcher and his damn hat. Come on kid, wear a hat that fits.
I've seen this in every game I've watched. I mean can't they get the players hats that fit or is it a trend to have a hat 2x bigger than your head?? That would drive me insane.
An international team is definitely winning the championship this year
nah
Coach ""STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!!"
Kid doesnt listen and gets thrown out as usual.
I woulda been ridin the bench for the rest of the night lol. Also JJ's (#14 Florida) curve was looking sick out there. If he could work on a lower placement, it would be even better.
Dear haters, the 3rd base coach will be at the LLWS Champion parade in Lake Mary today if you want to say hi.
Let’s Gooooo!
Wonder if wheels will be uploading any of the cal ripken World Series, the rules are better and seem to have better teams playing in it.
They don’t have mainstream tv coverage
Pitcher needs a hat that fits
South Dakota is very good. Just had to play the best team in the tournament
Ump doing kung fu behind the plate
Dakota deserved the win on this one played great defense
Lob1 in here fellas and I'll take er to the cheap seatz...
Great game by both teams. The kids played hard. The coaches need to do better.
jeeze that number 26 on florida, is a big pork chop
Good catch #7
The third base coach for Florida is a disaster. He cost them at least three runs

Someone please give the 3rd base coach a bus ticket to anywhere out of town. Geez that was just the worst coaching I have ever seen in my life.
Florida left some runs on the board also terrible sends by the 3rd base coach 😂😭
Nah the 3rd base coach for Florida didn’t wanna see them win at all 😭
3:52 he told him to stop
that florida third base coach needs to learn how to be a third base coach
Just not seeing the power from the kids this year. Basically warning track power. Not sure if it’s the equipment now. But I hope LL looks into cause the fans as well as the players want to see dingers.
What's up with hats falling off?
Florida is one of the US favorites and almost lost to the perennial worst region on the US side.......this LLWS is going to be EXTREMELY competitive

South Dakota pitcher needs to learn to cover home on pass balls or wild pitches and backup a base or home on hits. Stop standing, start moving.
LLWS seriously needs to invest in better chumpire crews. Balls and strikes suffered horribly all week...
Why do American teams actually look 12 years old and I just watched a couple South American games and they look like my 16-year-old cousin
