The team I'm most impressed by this year is Italy. There wasn't an American name on the team which means no army base kids so, Italians have picked up the game nicely. And that tip of the cap for a good play was pure class. They should be going home with heads held high.

This comment was telling how proud they are of Italy's young men playing picking up the game so quickly. That they are proud of how they did. Maybe you should read before you make a stupid comment like you did!

Amazing how fast Mr Zafferani’s stubble comes back overnight. Love to see the game developing with native Italians. Those kids are a credit to their families, Italy and Little League. Damn, who’s chopping onions in here? Pitching depth can be developed quickly at this age with a progressive throwing program.

@sntslilhlpr6601 2 жыл бұрын

With no leadoffs there are basically no stolen bases when the kids can throw 60mph+, so who cares what hand he throws with? I had average poptime and average arm and I still played catcher more often than not in Juniors just because I was the only one on the team competent enough to reliable scoop and block bad pitches (which have been ridiculously frequent during this tournament). I preferred 1st base, though, much easier on the knees.

I believe last year Pablo Suarez played for Team Italy in the WBSC u-12. Not sure about the other players on the team but his face is familiar to remember. This could be the reason why these kids were prepared to have some good games this year. Didn’t get mercy ruled and lost there games by 2 runs or less to some competitive international teams. Well done and good job 👏🏼

6:11 Wow, that's the first buntfake + slaphit I've seen in a long time outside of softball. I'm normally opposed to it because I think swinging hard gives you more reaction time but when you're in that kind of noscore situation and you have the speed it makes sense to summon the Ichiro in you and get the leadoff runner on base.
