Who won the last year: Little League World Series 2024 champions.?

Chinese Taipei, the Asia-Pacific region champion, clinched to the 2025 Little League World Series title behind its ace pitcher, Lin Chin-Tse.

Chin-Tse’s pitching line was simply dominant – 5 innings, 1 hit, 0 errors, 0 walks, 4 strikeouts – and he also had the most important hit (a bases clearing triple) in the game during his team’s five-run bottom of the fifth inning.

On the strength of Chin-Tse’s arm and the stellar defense behind him, Chinese Taipei defeated Nevada, 7-0, to win its first Little League World Series title since 1996, snapping a 29-year drought for the country.

LASY YEAR WINNER: The 2024 LLWS finished with a thriller, as Floridian, Lake Mary claimed a 2-1 extra-innings victory over Taiwan.
