You were a stud when you were twelve (even now)
You deserved to be on the A team. ⚾️
I played in the LLWS this year and I have been watching your vids and I see other peoples perspective on baseball and I see where you come form so I just turned 13 and you showed my that you go all in and it will take you some where so keep up the work and I’ll be there so see you get to 1 million subscribers soon ❤ P.S I’m Christian Nuñez and I live in PA so not that far away from you if you want I could be in a video sometime” just comment on one of my vids and then we can talk more” all love❤❤
Haha thank you bro!@@rappingsaesay2012
New year,New season
Hey this video really helped me because I was going through it today my velo has been dropping when I’m trying so hard and it’s so frustrating but seeing this video is gonna make me keep trying as hard as I can because even if baseball doesn’t work I probably will fine something else through it and baseball gives you memories worth playing for but I’m gonna be waiting to see 90 so you keep trying too
You're killing it man, I didn't even realize you were 21 until this video. To accomplish what you have already is incredible, I wish I would have been as proactive as you in High School.
Thank you so much man! I really appreciate that
I turned 23 last week and relate.. injuries ruined my track career and was so obsessed. I sadly was never the same. Schools stopped calling was forgotten so fast.
This is crazy that my favorite baseball CZcamsr grew up less than an hour away from where I live and play baseball
Let’s go that’s sick
Dude this video is sick! Nice to see the shifts in your mentality as you age and progress with baseball. As a junior in high school it's cool to see how hard work can really pay off if you work on your goals and stay focused on improvement. I'm a Canadian baseball player so its also been one of my goals to play college somewhere nice in the states, and to see you accomplish that motivates me to work my butt off. Keep up the grind 🙏
Thank you dude!! Keep grinding
Such a wholesome video… love this. See you guys in 2024 🫶
What can I say. This guy is so relate able, humble, and nice. A true inspiration for me
Much appreciated!!
Ok, Dan, you are a great talker with a pleasant demeanor, so you should be able to make a good living along those lines. Back in the day, I was a coach in the Exeter Junior League and beyond and actually coached and coached against Carson and Logan when they were 10-12 years old. I remember them both as great, gifted kids. My son had some success as a pitcher at EHS and remembers those days fondly with Coach McQueen and all of his friends. Time flies by! Best of luck whatever you do!
As someone who has lived in southern Cali my whole life, I understand how beautiful it is, and the fact that you also believe that especially with your platform has made me want to continue baseball as a sport. Last year, my sophomore year of high school I wasn’t the best but not I’m one of my teams star pitchers, middle infielders, and batters and I want to follow almost the same path at you. Thanks for the inspiration man!
Thank you for the story on your shoulder injury. I actually just snapped the growth plate in my elbow from throwing wrong and I really appreciated your honesty about how it made you feel. Your the best man.
Excited for the next year of content, you are a big inspiration for me to keep going and playing baseball along with eric sim, trevor bauer, etc.
Thank you dude!
Cool to see that what were doing other people have done it before and sort of show us the way. Thank you so much Dsarm. Keep grinding!
So proud Dan, crazy to see you start at 3-4k subs and Bridgton and now you’ve got over 100k, always gonna remember catching for you. Love ya man
My favorite video you've ever put out! The true and raw storytelling in this was a different side of content, that I'm glad you tapped into. Remember, your story can only really ever be told by you. Thanks for sharing!
Much appreciated!!
This is awesome man I'm glad you made this video and I'm gonna take notes from this vid because I think I could benefit from the stuff I learned and thank you for pursuing CZcams because it never disappoints
Thank you man! I’m glad you liked it
Fantastic video. I love the drive and dedication, and how you handled the ups and downs.
Keep grinding.
Damn bro just found your content this video hit hard for me, I’m older than you by quite a bit..28 but man I’m impressed with your work ethic and wanting to get better. I myself played on an A team growing up didn’t have a lot of power or throw for high velo hence why I got cut last my freshman year as a pitcher and that hit hard. I remember I lost a lot of confidence and lacked the maturity to have the outlook you have had. Just super impressed and earned a fan in me if you read this
Thank you man!! I really appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed the vid
unfortunately i had to stop baseball a few years ago and kind of regret it now but baseball is still my life as I'm a huge fan of it an always will be! Thank you for making this videos apart of my life and I love watching them!
Appreciate you watching the vids bro!
That was an AWESOME episode! Keep up the good content DSARM. 🔥
Thank you bro!
Thank you for sharing your story Dsarm keep up the good content dude 💪😎
Thank you! Will do!
Respect to you man had a dream of baseball didn’t ultimately get there but still got a job in baseball a making fire videos keep it up bro 🔥
Appreciate that bro!
So happy you kept going.🙂
You’re definitely not the only one attempting to make a comeback in baseball. I am currently in my backyard hitting the heck out of the ball. I am starting to pitch as well, unfortunately, my command isn’t there just yet, but I know I am starting to throw hard. Not quite sure what my velocity is on my fastball, but what I do know is that I have potential in a slider, cutter and a splitter and I know I have god on my side as well. Keep it moving man.
Good luck on your way hope you get a lot of support.
Love from Germany
Thank you so much!
dude I love this vid. takeways for value of hard work and the unlooked-for benefits
Thank you for sharing your story!
Super cool video love the personal story content! Let’s go DSARM 2024!
Awesome video.
For the year I loved the videos related to the MLB Draft. There aren’t many creators doing what you did with regards to the draft. Would love to see similar and more in 24 draft.
I appreciate that! Definitely want to get some more content from the draft this year. We have a bunch of ideas
Love your story, keep it up and you’ll hit 1 million one day
Thanks for sharing your experience. Nice job
Great videos as always bro keep it up. God bless y’all have a great New Year’s. Love the contact as usual keep putting out the great stuff you always do.
Thanks man! Happy new year brotha!
Thank you DSARM. I’ve been watching since the Bridgton clogs and story and mindset mirrors mine. Thanks for your reflection
Thank you dude!!
Love ur mentality i was decent at baseball as a kid but in Canada where i live its hard to go a long ways so i quit and now i sit on my couch and watch the Blue Jays and other teams but im amazed how far you have come at only 21 keep up the great work and vids
Thank you brotha!
Happy New year DSARM and to the rest of the DSARM YT community! Thank you DSARM, you’re an inspiration to the masses my boy we love your light and your grind! TO DA MOON MI BOI!TO DA MOON!🥷🐺🤝🏽⭐️

Much love dude!!
Dang I lost to the Maine team in districts
@@willfiamn we lost to a team in Denver
Wow man what a great video, really felt the passion in this one
Thank you!
Much respect after watching this video. I’m in a similar but different situation. Pitcher at the #1 JUCO in the country but the pressure of being there and being around so many guys who have a P5 mindset or bust can be difficult mentally. I’m in the middle of a mindset shift myself and hearing you talk about your struggles really hits home with where I’m at right now. Hit me up I’d love to talk and try to set something up for a facility tour at the #1 JUCO in the country.
this is one of the best videos you have made keep grinding
Appreciate it!!
Love this!!!
What I really enjoyed is how you didn’t gloss over your failures or make excuses for them. That shows the great amount of character you have.
Thank you man!
I’m an LHP in my sophomore year and your story watch alot of your videos. My goals to get to 90 one day too. Good luck to you bro
Keep grinding bro!
I just wanna tell you, NEVER GIVE UP, you are just a kid, work hard greets from PR🇵🇷
Keep grinding brother your 1# one
first you know i got those notis on your the best bro 💪🏽
You are the best!!!
Bro, I feel this on another level. I broke my humerus twice when trying to build up velocity.
Just keep grinding bro!
Great video dude
Glad you enjoyed!!
Hey Dan I go to marshwood in south Berwick maine and I play for the sea coast pirates and my home field is that Phillips Exeter academy field where you threw you’re bullpens. I just thought that was so cool.
Yooo that's sick! I played in Berwick plenty of times growing up
Love this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i live in durham a couple towns over from exeter i play with NEB it cool seeing someone that’s so successful from around where i live
6:28 is NEBC right? it’s so crazy cause I live literally 10 minutes away from there.
I got my first homer with that orange mako too!! But real talk, this video was so inspirational to me
Lets gooo! Thank you dude, glad you liked it
As Sir Francis Drake once said greatness from small beginnings. It sounds like your arm injury was the small beginning Dan. Really heartwarming vid.
Thanks Oshizzle you’re the GOAT. Hope to see you around this baseball season bro
Great video!!!!
Love the vid keep up the good work the content is a w
Thanks man!
My 10 year old son needs to watch this video, he said to me the other day, what’s the point of playing anymore if he’s not gonna make the majors, he thinks that’s the only success he can make through baseball, you’re showing that there’s other things baseball can do for you. Also it’s funny you said that about your mom wanting to be a baseball mom cuz that’s my wife’s favorite thing about my son playing, is watching him play
Hey! Love the videos man. Just was wondering how you always were motivated to practice and confident in your game as it’s always been a dream of mine to go D1. I was always a decent b team player like you till I made a great AAU team last fall and starting hitting lessons and had the best season batting in my life. This off-season I’ve just felt like I’ve been slacking a bit and am beating myself up over bad bp sessions. How did you always stay motivated and confident?
I’m 13 and I’m having a hard time making teams since I’m shorter than most people. But this has respired my motivation to keep going.
look at ichiro suzuki and his story
I’m glad this helps bro. Keep grinding man I promise it’ll pay off
height does not matter. js get good
Great video.
Great vid I subbed just because of this
I appreciate that bro
Those clips from the NEBC complex are tough!
Haha the good ole days
For all the facility tours did you reach out to the schools or did they reach out to you? I really loved the vid❤
LFG on the road to a million subs💪💪💪
Yessir!
I resonate with this video I was up to 94 getting recruited by sec,acc schools my junior year hurt my shoulder and I decided hang them up my senior year and pursue business and this is something I obsess over buissness now baseball taught me so much
I’m a senior this year going school knowing I don’t play baseball anymore feels weird lol
Love it bro. I bet you’ll find a lot of success in the business world with that mindset
Dudes a dawg! Congrats
Please do an fsu tour your tours are my fav part of your channel
Love u DSARM keep it up
LOVE U TOO
This is so crazy to me, this is the first generation of kids that it's normal to them to be able to go out and use their name in amateur athletics as a way to make money while they play. It seems like a no-brainer today, but for years it was the worst being a division to athlete, you get no shine, but you still have to work just as hard as the dudes and division one. And a lot of those guys might be as good, but they don't have the grades, or they need to live near their home because someone's sick, I'm glad you documented this because years from now this will be historic and people will be amazed when they find out guys weren't allowed to profit off of their own name as adults.
If you google the definition of hard work and diversity DSARM is the top result 😊😊😊 Love the vids bro keep it up
I appreciate that!!!
This video was so great good luck vs the king of bunting
Haha thanks dude!
@@DSARM will you make another video with max Clark it will be cool to see what he changed in his game from high school to the mlb
Exeter all-stars, Walsh field. Holy throwback
RIP walsh
I’m going to the Cal Ripken World Series as well wish me good luck
Let's go 🎉yessir ❤
Thanks DSARM for the motivation. I've got one question: what are some hitting exercises that you would recommend?
Back when I hit, the more live pitching I saw, the more comfortable I felt. As a result I definitely hit better. So I'd say just try and see live arms as much as possible
Alright I'll try my best. Thank you so much!
LETS GO DSARMMM
DSARM BANGER W
:))))))
6:29 I struck out the side in the d1 all star game there
W vid ❤
Thanks GOAT
DAN THE MAN 🥹🫶🏼
No way, my cousin lives in Exeter I’ve been to.a couple of those fields to play catch with him, that’s so crazy
6.01 I played at that field last year
This is where I’m from too you needa pull up to some games
OG evo was such a time
Let baseball be the vehicle that gets you to your destination.
Exactly.
Every other team that I play is so bad that the whole season I gave up 1 hit and had a 0.00 era
Pls do a tour of Stanford
How have you not done a tour of ECU. Literally could be an SEC baseball team with a top 5 atmosphere. Cmon DSARM!
We have it planned for this year 😉
Did you play against Chevrus is Maine? My ex-girlfriend's brother played for them probably a few years before you were there I believe but I heard their football in baseball programs were pretty good.
yo where did u get the dreamville hoodie from
I live right next to there
Can you possibly tour the Texas A&M stadium baseball
I feel like such an idiot now when I posted my first comment about New England baseball for some reason I thought you were in North Carolina or somewhere like that lol and now that I realize you lived inland Maine you know all the same struggles so that we had here in New Hampshire. Lol how the first practice of every season is all the guys with shovels getting the snow off the field so we can try to play outdoors lol If not then you're in the gym for 3 weeks. We had seasons where our first time playing outside was the first game of the season, everyone's wearing hoodies under their uniform or playing against Campbell in Litchfield New Hampshire lol
I'm moving and i play travel baseball so i have to find a new team and i like my
old one
My kid hit 85 last fall at a UMD showcase when he was still 14, and college interest in him immediately blew up. He has the physical skills and talent but is pretty nonchalant about playing in college. He'd rather play XBOX with his friends. How do you motivate someone like this?
I always have elbow problems and I just don’t know what to do
Baseball is the best
Dsarm u need to make merch
We have Enjoy The Show t-shirts! theshowcontent.com
It looks like you had a very good character arc
Thank you!
Heyy ima a sophomore pitcher that’s throwing 80-85 and a varsity pitcher I am thinking of grinding JR year do you think there’s a chance of me commiting and getting offers ?
UCSD tour please!
