Asia-Pacific vs Cuba | LLWS Winners Bracket | 2024 LLWS Highlights

Asia-Pacific and Cuba played in the winners bracket on the International side in the 2024 Little League World Series.
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.

This manager usually makes too risky or too conservative moves. His best team was 09. That team was stacked with players that went on to play pro but they just met a cali team that woulda lost to them if it was no 13 year olds. Because Taiwan uses 6th graders so no 13s. I thought this game would be a gamble keeping the ace in the game. But they got their runs and everything worked out

[@hortons1967]

Sigh. Great season Cuba. You might get another chance. This CT team is solid there's no easy outs. Ultra disciplined. Even taking off gear in the opposite batters box quickly after a walk. Hustle. I love this CT team but have to root America sorry ;p

Cuba's catcher needs to learn how to block a ball before doing all those stupid stances. You dont need to do the splits to set up high in the SZ. Coaches need to teach these catchers better. Most runs I see in these games are either on passed balls or created due to a passed ball moving runners into scoring position.
