Little leaguer hit by ball is quickest to console pitcher who hit him
At a 2022 Little League World Series game in Texas, Tulsa player Isaiah Jarvis took a hit to the head and then consoled the pitcher who hit him.

This was a truly weird and controversial way for a Little League World Series regional game to end.
Here's the breakdown: Oregon and Washington were tied up at two runs apiece at the bottom of the seventh. Washington had a runner on first, when the batter hit a ball down the third-base line.
The umpire clearly signaled a foul ball, but the runner came home with the winning run to send Washington on to the next round.
Umpires claimed that the call on the field was a fair ball - huh? - and there wasn't evidence on replay that it could be overturned.
Sure enough, game over when it was ruled a fair ball.
