Mexico short stop is legit 💪🏽

What I’ve noticed this series is that the short stops are great. Nicaragua’s is amazing. Compared to other series, the pitching seems to not be as dominate as in years past. That could be due to stricter age checks. The catchers seem rough this year. Lot of passed balls when they shouldn’t have been.

@@colbypitt8895 It’s little league and they are 12 you have to remember these aren’t top talent 12 year olds.. top talent 12 year olds are at AAU nationals or in North Carolina at the USA camp. These are a group of kids that formed a good team in your neighborhood and just didn’t lose all summer.. so with that being said if you know little league you know passed balls are common that happens often that isn’t surprising. In regards to the pitching thing it’s early in the tournament. Most teams are saving their best pitchers for championship rounds when they need them. I am sure we will see better pitching in the following games to come now that teams are in a win or go home situation. But yes I agree there has been a lot of good short stops this year not just Mexico, Hawaii, Nicaragua ext have good short stops too. Infield play kn general has been great this year.

It's a bigger zone so the pitchers have a chance. It's already a smaller field, bases are closer, and the bats are lighter. The offense has a lot of handicap and these kids are amazing offensive players. If you don't expand the zone, there's no way the defense can survive. You will see more 50+ points games like in the old days. And if your pitcher can pitch exactly 1 baseball away from the strike zone, that pitcher deserves that strike. Pitching is difficult enough as it is, and these kids are pitching curveballs and knuckleballs too.

The ump had a reasonable strike zone for the first two innings with respect to painting the edges, and his zone was evenly applied to both teams. Then his strike zone became wider and wider as the game progressed, with Taipei getting most of the calls. A really wide strike call was when the Chinese pitcher lined up on the left side of the rubber with the catcher holding his mitt directly in line with the edge of the batter's box. The pitcher threw a straight fast ball which traveled right over the edge of the batter's box for its entire length. I can go along with a sharp slider catching the edge of the plate caught by the catcher over the batter's box, being called a strike. After all, it's where the ball crosses the plate, not where it's caught. But too many pitches that are way off the plate are called strikes. Most of the Little League World Series umps have wide strike zones. The best one that I've seen so far was the one that called Hawaii's opening game. My son played Little League for 7 years. A few umps were horrible, most were OK, and a few were excellent. The best one ever met with the head coaches of both teams before the game to explain his strike zone: An outside pitch a ball width off the plate will be called a strike, but an inside pitch will not be. No one disputed his calls for the entire game, which was a game between West Oahu and Makakilo. (West Oahu won the LLWS the following year.)

The umpires really have a BIG strike zone.......

Mexico's shortstop is going places.

2 things I took from this: Strike zone wasn’t the same for both teams and the refs seemed to favor Taipei.
