Not a baseball fan? No worries: this mid-game pep talk will still make you cry.

During a Little League World Series consolation matchup between Oregon and Italy on Monday, coach Joel Jensen headed to the mound to give the pitcher — his son Isaiah — some advice.

But instead of taking the gruff coach approach, Jensen did something much cuter.

"I just came out here to tell you how much I love you," he said.

"This is your last hitter," he continues. "Understand? Come right after 'em."

Do you guys hear that inspirational sports music, or is that just us? Just us? Cool.
