As a member of the 2004 championship team from Curacao, current Texas Rangers infielder Jurickson Profar led his team back to the 2005 finals, where it lost to Ewa Beach, Hawaii. The 24-year-old Profar was a top shortstop prospect for Texas before injuries slowed his development, but he's been a mainstay on the big club since last year.
The San Diego Padres' do-it-all man, Christian Bethancourt played in the in the 2004 LLWS representing his home nation of Panama.

At 24, New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto made his first MLB All-Star Game in 2017, but before his success at the MLB level and stardom at Oregon State, he represented his Redmond North little league team in the 2007 LLWS. His team didn't make it to the finals, but Conforto has become one of the most promising young players for the Mets.
The 25-year-old St. Louis Cardinals outfielder has reached double digits in home runs for the third straight season with the Cards, but prior to that, Grichuk was on a LLWS team that fell in the quarterfinals of the 2004 tournament.
Baltimore Orioles infielder Jonathan Schoop represented his home nation of Curacao in both the 2003 and 2004 Little League World Series. In fact, Schoop and his Curacao team won the 2004 Little League World Series championship, which has done wonders to promote baseball in the tiny island nation.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ruben Tejada was a member of the 2001 Panamanian Little League team that represented the Latin American region at that year's Little League World Series. Tejada’s side failed to make it out of group play, but a career in the majors surely makes up for that.
