Asia-Pacific vs Australia | LLWS Opening Round | 2024 LLWS Highlights

Asia-Pacific and Australia played on day 3 of the 2024 Little League World Series. Asia-Pacific entered with a 1-0 record, while this was the first game in Williamsport for Australia.
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 KZbinr 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 KZbinrs, 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.

I love how now they are being called "Taiwan" instead of "chinese taipei" 🥳🥳

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

Jack Edwards called them Taiwan 🇹🇼 in 95

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

They use it interchangeably….but Taiwan is better

[@nakyag4061]

Mientras no venga China a hacerla de tos pues todo bien.

[@jkaja8]

Love that the announcers are saying "Taiwan" and not that ridiculous "Chinese Taipei" bs.

[@sportgeek2028]

Venezuela , Japan , and Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) the best international teams by far 🔥

[@MiguelSanchez-ce2qq]

Chinese taipei is an insult to them. It's Taiwan.

[@joeperovich9581]

There's unfortunately a reason they're not allowed to be called Taiwan because their government used it as a political tool by cheating and abusing the kids to show they were superior to China ​@@MiguelSanchez-ce2qq

That Venezuela team is nasty a starter who can throw 80 is amazing

Oh, that's brutal....but hilarious.

[@ibelieve96]

Hopefully they didn’t rig the tournament to get here like that smug leftist broad

[@Toast2005]

​@@ibelieve96 Australia is an automatic qualifier so a team was always going to represent Australia. Because remember this isn't 'Australia', it's a local little league team representing Australia

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

Is it because Macquarie university is close by 🤣🤣

[@dylanshaffer2184]

Why is PR in the international bracket when it is a part of the US? The kids are US citizens 🇺🇸🇵🇷. Also I don’t like Chinese Taipei, I love the sound of Taiwan 🇹🇼

[@LaYamiUwU]

Puerto Rico insist that they aren't a colony of the United States... Sooo that's why

[@chaneyburlin8077]

This game probably had the greatest talent difference between the two teams than any other LLWS game I've seen in a while.

Watch the Japan and PR game. Lopsided.

[@chihchang1139]

taiwan has the best running scheme i've ever seen

Best of luck to Australia team from Blue Ridge Georgia USA

Let's go boys from Taiwan

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

I feel like the catching is going to play a big part in the tournament this year…I remember in the regionals a lot of runs were scored on catching and fielding errors!

[@brianmeen2158]

Catching is a very thankless job or position

[@user-xu8ki2kn5x]

Couldn't agree more...love watching the Series and in the majority of the games the catching position has much to be desired...call me an "old school" coach, still help with coaching, but the FIRST priority of the catcher position is STOP THE BALL, KEEP IN FRONT.

[@ibelieve96]

Not in the Sw regional! Some of these teams shouldn’t even be here ! Se,sw,w could all have multiple teams that are better then some regions

[@andreezyaleman8478]

That applies to almost every little league game ever played there's gonna be runs scored on errors and passed balls every game no matter what

[@Dark._Lightning]

Chinese Taipei killed Australia's potential energy before they had the chance to get moving

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

Plus Australia couldn’t catch…at least 3-4 runs were scored just off of that!

[@brianmeen2158]

Well Australia just doesn’t have the talent or discipline that Chinese Taipei does.. just different levels

[@MiguelSanchez-ce2qq]

Taiwan!!

[@Toast2005]

​@brianmeen2158 That's not necessarily true. Our youth baseball is just really ass. Once our players get older we get a lot better. Just look at our Senior Men's National team, they can beat any country on any given day.

Good catch by chase and Emma though

[@joshuaennis8569]

Once again, Chinese Taipei winning it in the 1st😂😂

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Gonna be tough for these lower ranked teams to score 8-10 runs against these great pitchers. One bad inning and it’s game over. The real tests are coming up soon.

[@sportgeek2028]

Easy win for Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) 🇹🇼 20+ runs in 2 games and allowed 0

[@brianmeen2158]

They are very good and tbh, clubs like Australia and Czech Republic really don’t belong in the same tourney as them

[@Toast2005]

​@brianmeen2158 LLWS just needs to change it's qualification process. International teams should get a national team selection instead of being represented by a local little league team. So many great players from International countries never see Williamstown because their team is ass. Bit of a side note, but the LL team that represented Australia in 2018 actually had two very solid players. Oscar Hyde and William Baker. Both still play here in Brisbane. Australia hasn't had players like them since then

[@MrJking065]

Atlanta Braves announcer and former big leaguer Peter Moylan needs to get down to Austrilia and teach these boys and the boys coming up how to play baseball.

[@forlornvagabond9885]

Taiwan Hen Hao! 🇹🇼

[@b7533049]

Why do Australian pitchers keep hitting the opponent's head?

[@amw6478]

I don’t think we need Australia as an auto qualifier for this tournament anymore…they’re terrible every year

[@67L48]

This makes them 5-22 in the LLWS, only 4 were in the main tournament draw. They beat Czech Republic (losers bracket), Dominican Republic (losers bracket), Italy (rd 1), Curacao (losers bracket), South Dakota (consolation game after 2-straight losses). Haven't won a game in LLWS bracket play since 2016. Just awful. Europe isn't really any better. Neither should be getting auto berths. SE Asia and Japan probably ought to get 2 teams in.

[@cpa314]

Seriously they should considering just making Taiwan its own berth like Japan. They are at the tournament every year anyway.

[@andrewkravmaga1833]

@@67L48I agree with the Asia and Japan extra teams. Baseball is huge over there and they’re quite good lol. It’s a lot of fun to watch clean, fundamental baseball which I think is the pride of the Asian groups.

[@wtbanyname]

Ight, I'll go ahead and say don't seed the US to the finals as well. I mean, you're looking for the best, right? The US teams won't break top 3 if they don't get their own bracket.

[@RayCruz-cl5ru]

Asia Pacific has an easy route, avoiding japan,venezuela, mexico, and the Caribbean team in the first few games . Little league should balance the side of the brackets evenly.

[@supergio4551]

To be fair, it's a random draw. They don't decide who is playing who

[@chung-chitien4650]

During 2010-2015 Taiwan got bad luck to meet Japan and got eliminated early. They really were good teams but bad luck, so who could they blamed for?

[@nauticalwaters]

Also they had to get through Korea to make it here and a bunch of other Asia Pacific countries. Mexico and Japan only needed to get out of country bracket.

We got good players we just don't have enough for the average Little League team to be any good. Seriously as an Australian I hate watching our youth teams train and play because the coaches are beyond useless. Most of the kids can't even throw the ball properly, they swing like goofballs. Zero fundamentals are being taught. It's going to be the Death of youth baseball here.

@@Toast2005 it won’t be…I mean if they have better coaches for catching they’ll be in a lot of these games
