Ohio roster at 2026 Little League World Series
West Side's roster is made up of 12 players. The Hamilton-based side is anchored by its star pitcher, 6-1 right-hander Josiah Infante.
Infante has quietly emerged as one of this year's tournament's best aces, surrendering just two hits across five innings of work. Shortstop/pitcher Boone Treadway has also proven valuable, collecting a tournament-record 10 walks thus far.
