This year's Little League World Series has featured plenty of gifted talents. Few sides have possessed as many as Mountain region representative Paseo Verde, however.

The Henderson, Nevada-based side surged to the U.S. championship after outscoring its opposition 25-12 across its opening three matches. The West Coasters will look to extend their pilgrimage to youth baseball's favorite home — Williamsport, Pennsylvania — with a win in the U.S. championship. Given its outings thus far, it seems there's a good chance that could happen.

With that, here's a look at the players and coaches representing Paseo Verde in the 2026 Little League World Series.

The Paseo Verde roster features 13 players, most of whom are capable of deputizing in multiple positions.

The Mountain region standouts are spearheaded by Carsynn Meyer, one of two girls taking part in this year's Little League World Series. If Paseo Verde were to advance to the LLWS championship, it would represent the first time a girl has taken part in a Little League final since Sayaka Tsushima did so with Japan in 1998.

“I know she likes the attention in terms of being an inspiration to the kids all over the country, or the world,” Paseo Verde manager Cory Edwards told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “You don’t see a lot of girls out here playing baseball. Her love for baseball just gives her the passion to be that inspiration.”

Paseo Verde captured its district and state tourneys to secure a spot in the Mountain regional in San Bernadino, California. Edwards' side emerged out of the regional competition unscathed, claiming wins in all five games it took part in.

Paseo Verde then blitzed the Great Lakes, Northwest and Midwest representatives to notch a spot in the U.S. Championship.

History of Nevada teams in the Little League World Series

Paseo Verde can make Nevada state history with a triumph in the Little League World Series triumph. The state has never housed an LLWS champion.

Two Nevada-based sides have finished as runner-ups in the competition; Mountain Ridge fell to South Korea's Seoul in the 2014 tournament final, while Summerlin was downed by Chinese Taipei's Tung-Yuan in last year's championship game.
