On Sunday, August 24th, a champion was crowned in Williamsport, PA. It is the boys from Chinese Taipei, winning the championship game 7-0 over Nevada, the US Champions. It is the first time since 2017 that the International Champions have won the Little League World Series Championship. This past decade has been dominated by the US teams, with a total of 30 wins since the tournament’s inception. Chinese Taipei has been the best country besides the US, with 18 tournament championships, and its first since 1996. Chinese Taipei, who were runners-up in 2024, took care of business and completed an undefeated 5-0 record in 2025.

They were led by their ace pitcher, Lin Chin-Tse, who had impressed people with his fastball and in this championship game had a perfect game going into the fifth inning. He’s not only known for his pitching, but he also came up in the clutch with a three-run triple and a run scored in a four-run inning.

Every year, the World Series draws a big crowd, and it’s every Little Leaguer’s dream to make it to Williamsport. Apparently, coaches feel the same way, too. The head coach for Chinese Taipei, Min-Nam Lai, growing up, wanted to be a professional baseball player. When he stopped playing baseball 32 years ago, he focused on developing young talent in his community. Within that timeframe, he has won the championship five times, resulting in a trip to the Little League World Series in 2015. Ultimately, they were knocked out in the early rounds by a fierce Mexican team. Ten years later, he and his team reached the pinnacle in 2025, winning the Little League World Series.

During the interviews, many of the kids expressed interest in playing in the MLB. Former players like Gary Sheffield, Todd Frazier, and Cody Bellinger have shown that it can be done. Who will be next? Only time will tell.

As always, my name is Tyler Sceurman from Talking with Tyler. Thank you all for reading! I hope you enjoyed my article on the Little League Baseball World Series champion, Chinese Taipei. This is one of the things I look forward to watching every year, and I highly recommend taking a trip out here if you haven’t been already, because they have a lot of enjoyable activities and sightseeing stuff to do. Make sure to take a trip down the hill behind Lamade Stadium on a cardboard box if you end up going. Have a great day, everyone!

Hi my name is Tyler Sceurman I’m 14 and live in Bloomfield, NJ. When I grow up, I want to become a professional sportscaster. I have my own sports podcasts on Spotify called Talking with Tyler. I have on special guests appearances almost weekly on my show now and some of my biggest guests that I have had on in the past was a reporter from the Washington Commanders NFL team, Billy the Bat Boy who’s a baseball content creator on social media, a NEC Sports Broadcaster, etc. If you want to become a future guest on one of my shows, please reach out to me and I’ll be happy to have you on. I’m trying to make as much connections as I possibly can right now so that when I’m ready to start applying I’ll already have a good idea of where I want to start heading. I have also attended in the past and in upcoming years the Sports Broadcasting Camp at Montclair State University where I was able to gain valuable experience with all things sports broadcasting including learning how to do highlight reels, host radio/pregame shows, read teleprompters, how to prepare a few days ahead to call games, 1 on 1 interviews, etc. We also took two big trips in my time here one to the Somerset Patriots where I was able to call the game into my phone and to the Harlem Globetrotters as the camp got media passes to go in early and interview two players. After all of this, I got a wonderful opportunity through James McDaniel to do PA announcing my first real “job” outside of all of the other stuff I do announcing my towns youth football teams at Foley Field in the press box. I have done almost all grade levels but mostly 7th and 8th graders. On top of that, my town was able to host the NJSYFL All Star Game for the 8th Graders and James McDaniel once more invited me back to do the game to cap off my first season doing this.
