Guys the best one is the reds pitcher hitting a home run, that was his first game back after his father passed away. He walked out to his dads favorite band, the WHO and fired a perfect inning and then went on to hit that homerun!
Koo Dae-Sung's AB was the greatest. Not to mention, it was off of Randy Johnson, and he went on to score a run. If you want a good video about it, watch Jon Bois' "Pretty Good" series. So worth it. I am so glad Koo's double was included. Gives me goosebumps every time!
My all-time favorite was Mitch Williams hitting a walk-off single in an extra inning of game 2 of a twi-night doubleheader that had some rain delays. It was after 4:30 am. Official game date was July 2, 1993, but game 2 didn't even start until 1:30 am on July 3. Their opponents were the Padres. So for a change, it was the west coast fans whose road game was getting underway at 10:30 pm local time.
Aidan Cathey there's no way you can doubt it because it happened. There video of it right on CZcams. Also, I was delivering bread back then and was deep in my day when that game was played. Was supposed to start 5pm the day before(make up double header) but rain delayed it most of the night.
that michael lorenzen one is the best here with the story behind it. First game back after his dad's funeral and I'm pretty sure he played his dad's favorite song as a tribute for his walk up music. Legendary.
Okay, I don't know much about the nuances of baseball, but I've been watching plenty of interesting clips... Could you tell me what a reliever is, and why you would not expect him to be able to bat???
OMG THEY KILLED KENNY! Basically a reliever is a pitcher that comes in to ‘relieve’ the starter, or come in and pitch later in the game. As they normally pitch for few innings at a time, it is rare for them to get a plate appearance, and even rarer a bit.
OMG THEY KILLED KENNY! Normally relief pitchers are pinch hit for, which is when a player comes off the bench to bat. The pinch hitter is then replaced by the next pitcher in the next inning
Most of these swings were phenomenal cuts! You'd never know these guys get to come up to the plate seemingly once in a lifetime, these guys can swing the bat!
Everyone needs to know Michael Lorenzen’s story for his Homerun. His dad died a few days before and he hit his first MLB Homerun in his first game back
00:32 The story behind this guy is so cool. Jon Bois from SB nation has a series called Pretty Good and there is an episode about Koo Dae Sung that is pretty dope.
Lot of relivers were former position players Trevor Hoffman was a shortstop,I believe. Joe Nathan was a shortstop. Kenley janse and Jason motte we're catchers. Christian Bettencourt was a catcher of course.
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz I hear that, with our luck, we'll get rid of Schebler, Gennett, Iglesias, and probably keep Mez, Homer, and Cozy to stay injured.. we've got some fire in our bats but man, this pitching is making me drink.

Michael Lorenzen is a fuckn beast dude. We absolutely love that guy in Cinc.
@@verde7595 I met him in San Diego and man he is such a cool dude. He was being such a nice guy. And man, his arms are HUGE
My cousin went to school with him
He a 2 way player he also starts sometimes and plays center field that's why he can hit
as there’s a deep drive into left field and that’ll be a home run for Castellanos making it a 4-0 ballgame

That's when I saw it for the first time!
czcams.com/video/_f6owc3O_gY/video.html
Scored from second on a bunt too
Tyler Wickord Jon Bois is my favorite human ever
Tyler Wickord yeah it’s pretty good
0:37 Tim McCarver's announcing career summed up in a statement.
Kenley Jansen had a great swing, but it seems the announcers forgot that he is a converted catcher.
kyle s what your comment makes zero sense
Danny Sanko Why doesn’t it make sense?
Danny Sanko he used to be a catcher dumass it’s literally basic English
@@Alanbaseball Yeah but he was held back as a catcher because he couldn't hit, so it's still cool to see him run into one
Danny Sanko he was a converted catcher you dyslexic freak
Jon Bois already showed the world who Koo Dae-Sung is
he's uh.... PRETTY GOOD
THIS CROWD LOVES IT AS THEY SERENADE DAE. SUNG. KOO.
You should do AL pitchers getting a hit or something like it
Cardinal FpS I requested that in one of his older videos
Ghost well then it's a refresher!
Cardinal FpS There were two in this video, by visiting team players in NL parks in interleague games.
Cardinal FpS Daniel Norris' HR against the Cubs

How could you forget Travis Wood in relief hitting a home run in the NLCS.
Noel López *nlds
I was about to comment that as well. I was actually at that game (NLDS Game 2). It was crazy
Noel López i
You could probably make an entire video on Travis Wood alone...guy's got 11 homers in the regular season and 1 in the postseason...
My bad guys the d is right on top of the c.
"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is the biggest giveup at bat so far this season." What? I can't hear you over this double
Can't wait for the updated version with Archie Bradley.
2:55 "Bryan Price knew what he was doing" that's a first
Lol

Not doubting, but how is that even possible? My understanding was the MLB rule book prevents any inning from starting after 1am local time.
that game is why they established the rule

2:38 I’m surprised no one is commenting on far he raked that bomb. That’s impressive for a reliever.
"What planet are we on?!"
The Colorado Rockies giving up hits to pitchers is a tradition. You could do a video of just hits from 2021.
Your channel is a gem. Keep it up!
that michael lorenzen one is the best here with the story behind it. First game back after his dad's funeral and I'm pretty sure he played his dad's favorite song as a tribute for his walk up music. Legendary.
"Bryan Price knew what he was doing" said no one ever again
"what planet are we on" got me so bad 😂😂😂
Watching relievers round first is pretty hilarious.

@@colbybarton6922 wouldn't the pitcher have to bat when the other 8 players have already batted anyway?
OMG THEY KILLED KENNY! Normally relief pitchers are pinch hit for, which is when a player comes off the bench to bat. The pinch hitter is then replaced by the next pitcher in the next inning
@@colbybarton6922 so you're allowed to substitute in baseball???
This is the greatest baseball highlights video ever
0:59 - he's just as surprised as everyone else. And he runs like my Mom.
Most of these swings were phenomenal cuts! You'd never know these guys get to come up to the plate seemingly once in a lifetime, these guys can swing the bat!
It's so charming when pitchers get hits:)
2:12 Lol he winds up even at-bat 😂
Since he's a feature here, If nobody has seen the Koo Dae Sung video by Jon Bois, I highly recommend you watch it.
Two things went to college with Lorenzen he played RF so he can hit. Great guy super nice. Also was at that game where Kenley got his RBI
What is with Milwaukee and giving relievers hits?
Some of those swings were actually really good.
Looks like the Marlins pitchers are better hitters than the hitters themselves 😂😂😂
Great video 👍 Love your stuff
Lorenzen's HR was special
This should be called "How Bout That?"
4:05 😯 mlb the show infielder animation. It really does happen in real life
1:41 Why is there a reliever in the 4th when they're winning 2-0?
Griffin Stotland It was after a rain delay
Yea it's a rain delay. Notice how the dirt is still a bit moist and there aren't that many fans in the outfield.
Griffin Stotland iii
I am a Pirates fan and I watched that game that's how I knew.
Griffin Stotland Injury?
nice vid. was hoping to see some Travis Wood tho.
I kinda love how they all swing like relievers
Jansen had a Big Papi esque swing.
I love watching most pitchers run the bases. It's a show
Watching compilations like this remind me that Gary Cohen is the best announcer in baseball and always will be
0:59 He only had 2 ABs in his career, and that was one of them. Not only that, he scored from second on a bunt!
If you do a part 2 please include Tyson Ross as a Cardinal (he was a reliever for them)
Kelley Jansens swing is surprisingly good
No Rick Camp late inning heroics from 1985? That’s a classic reliever getting a hit right there !
Everyone needs to know Michael Lorenzen’s story for his Homerun. His dad died a few days before and he hit his first MLB Homerun in his first game back
Some of those relievers are better baserunners than a lot of position players.
Hey, what about Micah Owings, the best hitting pitcher Arizona had between 2009 and 2012?
Reason why I love NL style ball
That Koo Dae-Sung hit was pretty good.
matt albers at 3:35 is the funniest, barely waddled his way to 2nd
I think Michael lorenzen was actually a started at some point but he also was used as a bench bat too lol
Do you have one of getting thrown out at first by rightfielders?
This guy at :59 has the most unathletic run i've ever seen in pro sports.
Nope the white Sox player who thought the third baseman caught the balk was way worse
Where's the Travis Wood home run from the 2016 playoffs? He also made a put out in left field, dude is an athlete.
"look at this" "how bout that"
travis woods postseason homer
You forgot hong chih kuo's homerun and that bat flip
Of course Baez gave up a HR to a damn reliever.
Skyler Felix to be fair, Michael Lorenzen was a STUD at Cal State Fullerton. Hit clean up and played center in college.
stephen evans It was also a couple days after Lorenzen’s dad passed away, he probably had more motivation than any other time to hit.
OG Mudbone yes, but my point is that it’s not just some ordinary relief pitcher. Nice name btw
do out at home on inside the park attempts
MrGosportsteam cough cough Ender cough cough
MrGosportsteam there’s probably not much.
Not sure if by this channel, but this has been done. Search for it.
he commented before the video was made
Fails and wins!
This video made me feel really bad for the Rockies organization
The Dae-Sung Koo at bat was fantastic as a Met’s fan. Especially against the Yankees. It was hilarious to stick it to them.
LMAO poor Charlie Blackmon, i've seen him in so many of the clips
How do you not have Travis Wood going deep on the NLDS last year?????
feller3 and Arrieta homering against Bumgarner in the playoffs to end his like 23 inning playoff shut out streak.
feller3, relief pitchers.
Cirdez Travis Wood is a relief pitcher. He came in after Hendricks got hit on the arm.
Cristian Sanchez Arrieta is a starter
Pitchers be like:
“I’ll do it myself”
Do pitchers getting triples
No
I am filing that one away, good idea!
that'd be Otani san
Ain't nothing like hearing that baseball getting hit.... ⚾⚾
Mr. Koo getting a hit off of randy johnson was epic
Two words: Rick. Camp.
What about Archie Bradley in the NL wildcard???? His triple against the Rockies?? I’m shoook
What, no Archie Bradley triple in the Wild Card Game? That's a criminal omission.
August 14, 2017 was months before the triple was hit
@@andrewvargha7522 oh damn, I came here from reddit, had no idea it was an old vid. My bad dude, thanks for calling me out
I think it's funny how a lot of the announcers reactions are, "How 'bout that!"
00:32 The story behind this guy is so cool. Jon Bois from SB nation has a series called Pretty Good and there is an episode about Koo Dae Sung that is pretty dope.
Archie Bradley hitting an rbi triple in the nl wild card game was pretty nice
Do people forget that Jansen was a catcher before being converted to a pitcher
HoW ‘bOuT tHaT
-every commentator in the video
Lot of relivers were former position players Trevor Hoffman was a shortstop,I believe. Joe Nathan was a shortstop. Kenley janse and Jason motte we're catchers. Christian Bettencourt was a catcher of course.
You guys should do pitchers getting homeruns
Man o’ Man do I miss Shea Stadium
You should do Charlie Blackmon triples at the end of the year if he gets closer to 20
Can someone explain what they mean by relievers?
Trevor Hoffman hit a 2 RBI double at St. Louis in 1999 the same night Mark McGwire hit his 500th HR
Travis Wood's postseason home run ?
Random idea: home runs in the rain. Balls are weighted
Great idea for a vid! XD
Does Lorenzon really count, though?
what state do u live in
I love how like half of these are against the Rockies
Where's Mitch Williams' walk off hit from 1993? And he was a closer?
Atleast my reds can make it in to this video cause there sure not making to the playoffs.
Damn that honesty tho
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz I hear that, with our luck, we'll get rid of Schebler, Gennett, Iglesias, and probably keep Mez, Homer, and Cozy to stay injured.. we've got some fire in our bats but man, this pitching is making me drink.
Yup... But we look good for next year.
They’re
I love Hawk
all these guys could probably rake the ball like none other when they were younger coming up.
You should do relievers GETTING hit
Hector Neris blowing leads?
I remember Oliver Perez getting a hit in a game against the Twins in I believe the 16th inning a while back
Isn’t kenley jensen a former catcher? So does that really count?
you hsould put archie bradleys triple if you make a new one
Jansen had started his career as a catcher and didn’t start pitching until 2009, he should know how to somewhat handle a bat
'How bout dah?"
I get why they don’t have the best looking swings, they’re pitchers. But why do they all run like my aunt
So satisfying
Jansen should not be that surprising because he did come up as a catcher
