Just one week ago, New York Mets rookie pitcher Nolan McLean was playing for the AAA Syracuse Mets. On Sunday, he was less than 24 hours off of a stellar Major League debut, throwing 5 1/3 scoreless innings in a Mets win over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday at Citi Field.

Mason Mitani, Crawford and Logan Brokaw combined to allow just a single run, five hits and three walks while striking out seven. Hawai'i didn't rely on anyone to pitch too many innings, which means some of the arms should be fresher as the tournament progresses.

Cardenales Little League from his hometown of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, was representing Latin America in the LLWS.

Canada's Misha Lee recently joined ESPN for an interview during the 2025 Little League World Series and dropped a savage one-liner about Mets star Juan Soto that's going viral.

The eyes of the baseball world will be on Williamsport, Pennsylvania Sunday, not only because the best from the world of Little League will take the diamond in Lamade and Veteran's Stadiums, but because MLB presents its annual Little League Classic in prime time.

The Mets were greeted at the airport in Williamsport on Sunday by plenty of enthusiastic young fans and connected with teams from all over the world.
