A coach in the Little League World Series delivered a speech on the mound Wednesday that has been labeled the greatest of all time.
During a West Region tournament game between Arizona and Hawaii, Arizona held a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning when Coach Drew Breivogel approached his pitcher.
Little League teams from around the world compete annually for the championship title. The pressure can be overwhelming for many young players aged 10 to 13 years old.
Pitcher Camden Burke of Chandler National Little League in Arizona seemed tense as Breivogel spoke with him. What happened next was unexpected.
“I’m so proud of you,” Breivogel said, his words captured by ESPN microphones. “I’ve known you since you were 8. Not a lot of people get to see the fruit of the labor that you put in, right?”
