What is the story about?

Since 1974, Little League has opened its doors to talented girls from across the globe, giving them the opportunity to shine on one of youth baseball’s biggest stages in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Over the years, 24 remarkable girls have broken barriers and helped their teams chase Little League World Series glory as of 2025.

The trailblazer for girls at the LLWS was Victoria Roche, who made history in 1984 by competing for Belgium in the international bracket. Roche paved the way for female athletes to follow in her footsteps. Among these standouts is Mo’ne Davis, whose unforgettable 2014 performance captivated the sports world as she struck out 14 batters and allowed just three runs over 8 1/3 innings.

This year, the tradition of girls at the Little

League World Series continues with two more standout athletes representing United States teams: Kinley Rasmus and Carsynn Meyer. Rasmus, the daughter of former MLB pitcher Cory Rasmus, was instrumental in leading her Phenix City team to a 4-0 victory over Tennessee in the Southeast Region final, securing its ticket to Williamsport.

Joining her is Carsynn Meyer, who will make history as part of the Paseo Verde Little League team from Henderson, Nevada.

Here’s a look at the girls who have etched their names into Little League World Series history.
