Reigning baseball MVP and World Series hero Kris Bryant thinks he’s shooting a baseball workout video. Little does he know that the sound guy on the video crew is none other than Hall of Fame pitcher and four-time Cy Young Award winner Greg Maddux in disguise. Here’s what happened when Bryant allowed Greg Maddux aka “The Sound Guy” to throw him batting practice.
Also watch Kris Bryant as “The Transfer” in Prank 1.0 when he tricks an unsuspecting college baseball team into thinking he’s the hotshot new recruit coming into the program.

Greg Maddux got a dog when he retired. Poor dog still hasn't been walked.
This is gold
Niceeeeee!
You win it all
He's probably been pissed on
Mark Moye Maddog my favorite pitcher that I saw , respect for this 😂
'you still want my bat'
'no'
awesome
I loved that part, lol. It's like "call me when you're in Cooperstown and we'll see."
Haha what a legend!
I was going to post that exact comment, but luckily I saw yours first.
Reminds me of 10 or so years ago when Mark Buehrle was suggesting he was throwing a spit ball. They asked him about it and his response was perfect "who is Mark Buehrle?"
I love how Bryant was so disappointed about it, too. Like, "Awww, man, I really wanted to sign a bat for Greg Maddux!"
I like that Bryant recognized talent before recognizing Maddux.
gxtmfa yeah
he probably has seen thousands of curvballs so i guess he can see difference between decent curvball and hall of famer curvball :P
MANCHESTER UNITED but here you are commenting on a baseball video.
@MANCHESTER UNITED Association football? Isn't that the sport where athletes convulse, flop, and act like they're having their leg amputated when an opposing player merely touches them below the waist trying to draw a penalty? Is that the sport you're talking about?
@MANCHESTER UNITED aight, so?
This was great! “Damn, sound guy has a good curve ball.”
Bryant: you still want my bat?
Maddux: No.
Lol
@@willywonkachevy haha so brutal
That was too funny.
Would of been cool if he still signed and gave it to him tho.
Lol
"Try to hit it off the barrel, it'll sound really good." What a jab lol
PurplePeopleEaters nope little lower...😂
"ya that's the goal..."
"Middle-away, try to put it over that wall"
Priceless stuff, lol.
"You still want my bat?" ... "Nah" - I nearly peed laughing. What a great prank.
Good one! 😂
you a bit late to the replies red bull
he didn't take it cause when he asked for it Bryant said maybe.
That was the greatest prank denying his autograph lol. Unscripted and explicit.
You nearly peed seriously[???] it wasn’t that funny
Greg Maddux is the only HOF'er who looks like an accountant.
Andrew Hollins lol you’re not wrong
Andrew Hollins. Now I can't unsee it ...lol
Thats the best part. ppl were getting ripped to pieces by a dude with a dad bod
What about Connie Mack?
Teixeira isnt a hall of famer but lol he looks like typical white businessman
Crazy part is that Maddux knew the ball wouldn’t leave the field just by the sound the bat made.
You get used to the sounds. If you pitch bp for a few days you can call homers and pop outs just from the sound with 90% accuracy I'd guess.
He's faced over 20,000 batters in 23 years of the majors alone. He's had his fair share of practice 😂
@@tokivikerness8863 ahhhh...no. But 30 years of pitching, sure
@@iwxracer you would have thought his ability to tell the distance a ball goes would be a giveaway.
@@chexnfx7161 lol yeah these guys are funny. a 100 mph ground ball or low line drive sounds different than a homerun? no chance. but a professional pitcher who can see the swing and contact? yes he probably knows when its gone.
I asked Greg Maddux to paint my house. But he only painted the corners 😎
With two seams
Ha
You mean 3 inches outside the corners and got the ump to call it inside.
Very good. :D
Ramon Perez
Best dad joke ever
I like how for Kris he never gets annoyed at how good the "sound guy" is, and he turns from it just being casual to really having a lot of fun. Guy definitely enjoys the game immensely.
And he was amused that he was throwing curves. you dont do that in that situation...a lot of guys would have gotten pissed off
i was gonna say the same thing, i dont follow baseball, but he was just having fun.
And i think it became about his pride at some point. He had to be thinking, "how am i struggling to hit this sound guy's curve ball"
He looked like he was more stressed than having fun 😅
My sense is that he wanted to meet the challenge, a challenge he hadn't signed on for. He had to get into a new state of mind.
BP Pitcher: "Guys, I gotta go run study hall."
Director: "For how long?"
BP Pitcher: "About two hours."
Greg Maddux: "I can pitch a complete game."
Best comment here hahahahha
Not only pitch a complete game, but probably pitch a shutout even with a sub-90MPH fastball and do it in under 100 pitches.
In 58 pitches
When asked about his best performances, Maddux referenced a random early 90's game in St.Louis. I was about 15 minutes late to this game with my dad and little brother. It was the top of the 3rd already and Maddux had a sub 2 hour complete game. Simply masterful.
GOAT
On the other hand, Maddux extended games by reaching base more than the average pitcher.
6years on and no matter how many times I’ve seen this it’ll always put a smile on my face
It must be an honor to be pranked by one of the greatest pitchers of all time
For real.. Hofs wont just prank any mlb player.. Gotta earn that respect!
As a life long Phillies fan I hated the Braves, but I always said Greg was one of the greatest pitchers of all time and that hasn't changed.
@@hmj8469 Kind of late to say this but, congrats on making the World Series.
If this was Maddux in '96 he never would have touched those pitches. Maddux was an animal.
Maddux was putting 1-2 ERA's in the steroid era. Absolutely no offense to Bryant but hardly anyone on the planet could touch prime Maddux
EXACTLY! I rarely missed a Braves game in the 90's and Maddux was amazing!
He would have been able to touch those pitches... It just would have been a dribbler or weak fly ball. He's not a strikeout guy, he didn't have untouchable stuff. He was a master of pitching to contact.
He did both. I know his K/9 is middle of the road and he amassed a lot over 23 years, but 10th all time in Ks is nothing to scoff at.
They call him Joe "Come at me, Maddux" Girardi.
"Try hitting off the barrel, it'll sound really good." 🤣🤣
RAWDOG1021 “that’s the goal” 😂
That “oh my gosh” was pure frustration coming out..
"No not there."
YES! I loved that, Maddux trolling him! LOL
Great line!!
"This sound guy's got a good curveball."
I've watched this a half-dozen times and this still cracks me up.
Me, too. Maddox was a maestro.
…and he’s not throwing from the mound or the full 60’6”. Curve balls snap the most late in their run, so he’s making them break earlier than usual.
Lol I was thinking “Buddy you have no idea how good it is.”
Haha "You still want my bat?" "No"
That was savage. :D
pure gold, kekeke.
I felt a little bad for him lol.
LMAO! Best part of the vid
that's cold bloodid.
In his 50s, Maddux basically made a current all-star hit the ball wherever he wanted him to hit it..
He’ll never lose the way he sees the strike zone.. can put the ball absolutely anywhere
Jedi
Dalton Reynolds : always will be great
That's Dodger legend Greg Maddux for you.
Maddox played primarily for the Cubs and the Braves
I come back to this every few months cause of just how everybody played their role perfectly, including Bryant (unwillingly). Maddux is a surprisingly good actor too
Fooling Others is in the Pitcher job description.
He was known to be a legendary prankster in the club house. Chipper Jones has a few stories of how Maddux pulled off some crazy pranks in the club house when he was with Atlanta.
Dude went from thinking “This guy wishes he could have my bat…psh” to thinking….
“Please take my bat. Please.” 😂
"Nope. Warning track.." what a badass.
There are stories about Maddux knowing shit that most others wouldn't. Seriously, look them up. It's like he knows by a batter's stance or the sound off the bat of where the ball is heading and how far. It's pretty insane. Dude is a genius.
caffeineadvocate He didn't even look. That was the best part. He just knew from the sound of the bat.
Called warning track without even looking.
He doesn't turn around Greg can tell from the sound its not a home run? serious question I donno baseball very well.
Greg Maddux was an incredible pitcher for about 20 years from the late 80s to the late 2000s. He's widely regarded as the smartest pitcher who ever lived. He knew and could predict things in ways other pitchers never have before or since. To be clear, it's not normal. Maddux is an exception.
Best part is the end when he asks, "Do you still want my bat?" And Maddux responds, "No." He's a hall of famer...he don't want your bat.
Spintown7 lol he was just messing around
I love how Maddux tells Bryant, "Middle away ... hit it over the right field fence" and still schools Bryant. Totally next level stuff.
Maddux was simply brilliant, and yes, he looked like an accountant. As a kid it was easy to watch him and imagine myself in his shoes, because he wasn't 6'4", 220#, throwing fire. Just incredible variation and control of velocity, savvy pitch selection and perfect location on every pitch. What a joy to watch him back in the day.
His pitch location was second to none. It would literally curve into corners of the strike zone. Just scary. Like it was a video game.
Yes dude it was amazing watching his career. I never forget all the big games.
He’s was on my baseball team in high school. He was a totally cool guy then too.
@@mikefire9626 Uh huh sure he was.
@@BamaMatters11 valley High School 1984. Sat next to me in Health Class too. Don’t care if you believe me or not.
"I even mentioned you!" Kris Bryant is such a great guy, and Maddux did great playing the part. This was great fun to watch!
I love how even before he knew who it really was he could tell how talented the guy was and was really having a blast hitting off him. He didnt want to stop!
Can we talk about how gifted Maddox is as a sound guy??? "Hit it off the barrel." "Pick your feet up--I'm getting more of your feet than his." "Do you need some hand sanitizer?" Genius.
Greg maddux faced 20,421 batters during in his career and only 310 saw a 3-0 count.. 177 of those were intentional walks
Raymond Calitri how many ended in normal walks or outs?
No, 644 saw a 3-0 count and 153 of those were IBB.
@Brandon Mitchell Nope. Go to baseball-reference, go to his page, go to career splits, then go to pitch/count splits. Go to the "after 3-0" row.
People keep using the "3-0" row, which only looks at plate appearances that ENDED on a 3-0 pitch.
Maddux had a few intentional walks where he actually threw a strike during the plate appearance.
First Last not really an intentional walk if he throws a strike.
@@dougfreeman5503 It's not uncommon to try to pitch around a guy instead of intentionally walking him by just throwing stuff in the dirt or way outside and hoping he chases them. You get one strike but then the count goes to 3-1 and then the manager tells you to just walk him.
Also, there might be a runner on first and third with one out so they pitch to him hoping for a double play but then the guy on first steals second so they go ahead and walk the batter to again setup the double play.
In other words, not all intentional walks are 0-0 count and 4 straight balls.
That was dope... Even when Kris tried to take it more seriously, he still couldn't get the contact he wanted, but, he enjoyed the experience. True professionalism.
Snow owl 15 people still say dope
@@hyalltime247
Don't be a square man.
Snow owl 15 people still say dope dumbfuck
O Z -Still great ! Baseball players want to play BASEBALL !
That’s hilarious! “He might be better than the other guy.” Yeah, maybe. LOL.
Hot take
Just maybe... lol
Lmfao that was funny as hell
The other guy was Nolan Ryan
@@romanclay1913 guess that means he never saw the Ryan Express just heard it : Damn that sounded low🤣🤣
I love how Maddux was calling out how far the ball was going without even turning around. Dude is sick.
"This sound guy's got a good curve ball -- what is this?!" Best line!
Haha 😅
And to think that Maddox is in his fifties and wasn't even using a complete pitchers motion 😮😮😮
"this sound guys got a good curve ball, what sorcery is this!!!!"
I dare all the girls to push cool whip pies in their face and put the video on youtube!!
***** if you pie yourself first
Botie Master lol
Anthony Abelardo what's wrong with you is that your secret weird fetish
lol
Haha Has anybody else seen this more than 5x and can't get enough??😅
"This guy might be better than the other guy"
“That’s a strike” just fits in conversation now!
"I could throw... I was pretty good back in the day."
Greg was a BEAST in sheep's clothing. When he was talking about his Little League team, he was probably talking about other Major League hitters, haha!
I love that you can tell how much fun Kris was having. The dude just wanted to keep swinging and was laughing the whole time. Fun chirping by and forth with Greg was great too.
I’ve been in the hospital for surgery recovery now, going on 4 days. This is the first time I laughed. My wife and kids wanted me to tell you that.
Are you all right now ? I hope so... and... you know what that word (" 死 ") means right ?
What does it mean circle yuan
Matt Kleven it means death in Chinese
I didn't know your wife had kids....
CatoRaid PS4 A little late but I recently got out of a 2 week stint myself and I hope you're doing well brother!
Damn Maddux called where the balls would go.
I thought he just had a killer pitch that's very hard to hit. Now I realised he controlled the batter and where he wanted the ball to go. This man is a batters' worst nightmare.
One of the best pranks on You Tube
Greg was never that type of pitcher. He didnt have "lights out" stuff or an overpowering fastball. He was really smart and understood changing locations and speeds in the strike zone. One of the best I ever watched growing up in the 90s.
@@CrowT 💯💯💯
One of the top three starters of the early 90's. Randy Johnson was probably #1.
Look up his Gary Sheffield Marquis Grissom story. He would literally set hitters up weeks in advance. Best ever.
KB: "You still want my bat?"
GM: '"No"
Too funny.
He was always quite possibly my favorite pitcher. I feel he was a throwback to old school pitchers. Pure strategy and mastery over location. This man was a baseball god during his prime.
I'm pretty sure that Maddux could still be a decent long reliever in MLB today.
Also it's scary how Maddux can just tell how far the ball is going when Bryant hits it
Donghyun Kim It's awesome that even though he has a beer gut and is out of baseball shape, he could easily be good for 20 pitches a night
I'm pretty sure he can't, and I'm pretty sure that's not scary.
he can.
Donghyun Kim it's not that hard just by hearing the sound. I mean, Greg Maddux is still a badass but I would bet most baseball players can do that.
Donghyun Kim - 'We' could certainly use him, that's for sure.
Imagine they let Kris go home that day not knowing Maddux was the one pitching
He Hate Me confidence smashed
Lol, he'd be having nightmares about the sound guys curve ball. Haha
" We gotta pick this guy up "
This video is the bee's knees. Kris Bryant's sportsmanship, Greg Maddux's swag, and just the humor of it all! Lightning in a bottle or redbull can as the case may be.
Maddox didn’t even flinch when that ball came right back at him. 🤣🤣
He was one of the best fielding pitchers ever
19 Gold Gloves
Greg was trying to catch it.
Best fielding pitcher of all time.
18
They look a bit like Walter and Jesse Pinkman from Breakingbad Bad lmao
DerTob haha good call
DerTob how did you get all those subcibers
This sound guy's got a good curve ball...
Its not the peanut boy.
..if not, the best curveball I have ever seen.
Maybe a HOF curve?
hahaha epicly funny
was probably that deadly change up
The way he started giving the sound guy props and says he has to start trying shows he's a competitor and has humility too...good vid
"Do you still want my bat."
"No."
It's funny how Maddux looks like such a regular Joe. Like he drives a minivan and has 3 daughters. Weird to think of that guy as one of the best ever lol
Those type of guys are usually the best. Underestimate their talent, because they don't look like some artists idealized version of an athlete, then BOOM! They sneak up on you and own your ass.
That is exactly why he is the best ever.
They are more like endurance athletes, Like baseketball players cant play 3 games a week without needing rest, when baseball players are playing 5 days a week usually
Aside from the pitcher and the catcher exactly how much work is involved? A guy can literally stand the entire game and do nothing. How does that compare to a basketball player running up and down a court constantly?
DanMan123456 cause they really only play like what 40 minutes a game 2 maybe 3 times a week. Baseball players go to work 5 days a week. Like Ripken played like 20 years without taking a day off. I know some of us call in to work a minimum of once a month
This brought a huge smile to my face
I was smiling the whole time.
Me too!
American Empire why?
American Empire yadhhduuufhfcnchdud
i was the thousand like
Greg: "You want some hand sanitizer?"
me: TAKE THE DAMN SANITIZER KRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K
If you though this would be funny...it’s not
@@alexstrachan9515 Actually, it was.
No Name just because u don’t think it’s funny doesn’t mean no one else thinks it’s funny
Wish I could g back in time
u could feel the pressure that Kris is actually feeling. He's getting pressed. absolutely insane
"Soundguy's got a nice curve ball"
Yes Kris, and he can put it on whatever square inch he wants to.
He should've thrown a cutter.
@@Jason918114 That's what I was waiting for, for him to break out the entire arsenal.Maybe not dialing it up too hard especially with the slider &/or the pitches that really take a toll on the arm.
@@bigcee8393 that would have been epic, 7 different pitches, all strikes.
And, that was his 4th best pitch.
Off-camera, Kris Bryant asked Greg Maddux to sign a ball for him
I would hate to think he didn't !
Oh for sure lol
But who wouldn’t?
The fact that he could get the ball to break throwing that close and slow is astounding.
That’s something I’m surprised that nobody picked up on. Huge break for that distance.
And practically flat footed.
Kris's realization that in this scenario he's not "the dude" when Greg's like "Nah, I don't want your bat" is so great.
"Chicks dig the long ball" - Greg Maddux
More like - Nike Marketing Department
"Hey, have you guys seen Mark?"
Greg maddux
"Try to hit it off the barrel it'll sound really good." Hilarious
How about "that's a ball man" " I know , I know geez"
This is a great video, my favourite part though is how Bryant goes from being the big leaguer who is “in charge” to being like an awe-struck kid when Maddux reveals himself.
I’ve watched this about 20 times and I love how quick Kris goes from “No, I don’t want to like…… no” to hyper competitive “Alright ONE MORE”x5
At least Kris Bryant tried his best. Maddux didn't even lift his leg. lol.
Maddux likely knows how to drive with his feet (without the leg kick or even mound) better than the average BP Coach.
good comment! Greg was so dominant in the major league!!...
Now rememberign that unforgetable world series Braves vs Yankees was so Epic with two real masterminds (bobby co & Joe torre) & amazing pitchers from both sides (Maddux, Smoltz vs Petite, Jimmy Key plus the latin Mariano Rivera closing to NYY) what a series man!!
Maddux was so greaat but Braves lost that series & it was a huge come back to the Yankees since 1978.....
Anyway good prank, "...u saw that curve..this guy is better ...."...that kris's face with some frustration & so competitive hard trying hahahaha....Wonderful Greg Maddux!!
Lifting his leg gives away the works.
So cool that Bryant recognized his talent so quickly. Maddux has still got it.
He went from a normal mundane practice to being excited by a challenge, confused by a random guy throwing pitches that he couldn't hit the way he was used to in practice. Showed his competitiveness and love for the sport/game/challenge. He went from being the king of every schoolyard game to being seriously challenged in a scenario that felt like any other schoolyard game in every other aspect. Amazing exhibition of a mental shift due to circumstances being outside of normal bounds for someone as accomplished and accustomed to greatness as him, showing a sudden extreme shift in mental engagement that you rarely get to closely see from extreme performance level individuals.
And then he got traded
Greg Maddux... one of the best to ever do it. He was an incredible pitcher.
“And Maddox gasses him out with an 85 mph fast ball for his eighth k” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watch this like every few months and it always makes me smile. Amazing!
Greg Maddux was one of the greatest pitchers of all time, hands down. He also seems like a heck of a nice guy, as does Kris Bryant. So good to see Greg again, and no I am not a Braves or Cubs fan. I too recognize a huge talent in Greg and applaud both men for an entertaining prank.
dude he looked like he actually had no idea, lol
Daniel Cooney Come on man, You are joking.. Right? He obviously knew... Fun for Greg Maddox to throw batting practice to anyone for sure. He knew!!
This is one of the best pranks out there haha. Kris went from having little respect for the audio guy, to having full respect. Before even knowing it was Greg Maddux. Well done
"That's a ball."
_"Yeah I know"_
I love the way he says that, he's more mad at himself than KB.
From throwing shade to the sound guy to being humbled that he’s not even the star of the video. Love it
In his prime guys usually hit the ball against Maddux...right to the exact fielder that Greg had pre-chosen. He made YOU obey HIM. He knew your swing and tendencies better than you did. Nearly android precision. Looked like an accountant, pranked like a frat boy. The one and only, not to be repeated Greg Maddux.
Candy Banks That’s why he was called the professor
Something even better that you failed to mention Greg "Mad Dog" Maddox got 27 outs in around 2 hours. He didn't take very long to beat you.
Certain pitches and movement of the ball dictates where and how far the ball will travel.
@@JAMES-wl2pd Different swings will also play a factor.
Heard him save he would through home run balls on purpose in spring training.
I've worked in the Medical field for 25 years. I've seen alot of surgery cases. Watching Maddux pitch was like watching a great surgeon.
I loved it. Thankful I got to see him pitch
That was always the analogy I drew when watching him pitch. I said:
"It's like watching a surgeon"
100 Xs while watching him if I said it once.
My father met Greg Maddox once and had no idea who he was. Maddox told him that he was a pitcher for the Braves and my father said, if you say so.
Your dad may have met Greg Maddox, but did he ever meet Greg Maddux?
Thanks autocorrectur
2:12 Maddux not flinching at the comebacker was a dead giveaway 😂
I'm in my late 50's now. I've always loved the game and I've seen the best play it.
This fella right here is the best pitcher I've ever seen, period. Hands down.
Anyone who's played the game has heard a coach tell a pitcher to "stop throwing
and start pitching" - well, this gentleman is the embodiment of just what that means.
I played and worked through to MiLB level. I've heard that a fraction of the number of times I've heard "stop pitching and just play catch." 🤣
Maddux was the best pitcher of his generation. I've never seen a pitcher more consistently control a game than him. Other guys had better stuff and arms, but were not as good a pitcher as him. He was simply brilliant.
Still has it too.
I love the child like excitement Kris showed when he really that the "Camera Man" was kinda good, lol. That's the mark of a competitor: they thrive and embrace the competition, no matter from who or where
Loved that Greg didn’t want the bat lol
Maddux never looked like a baseball player when he WAS a baseball player
whitedevil2 Looked like he could be an accountant.
Yeah, was always "how the hell does that high school geometry teacher keep striking people out?"
his Dad bod deceived people as well as his pitches did

.mm...
N2j3j3hba 78 n!,xb b b
i dont know baseball so can someone tell me whats special in maddux's pitch . it looks slow ,can someone explain
“You want it higher?”
“Middle away.. hit it over the right field fence”
The fact that a regular sound guy can control his pitch like that 😂
"still want my bat?" - "no" 😂😂
this video never gets old......... always puts me in a good mood :)
imagine if Greg Maddux was 33...
rockoutwithyourcockout ! I've subbed to you please can you sub back
KingHarryvlogs but... it says clearly he has no subs.
I don't have to imagine. I watched him play when he was.
Greg Maddux would give Yasiel Puig f!@kin nightmares.
He was 33 then he was 34 and so on
Kris went from hot shot all-star to humble pie mere mortal in 10 minutes. Greg Maddux true legend.
Brilliant. I've seen this maybe 6 times and it still has me rolling.
How great is it to hear someone talking you up when they don't know you're there. That's awesome. Kris seems to be a nice guy, whether pranking or being pranked lol
Greg is awesome. Good example of a great player who did it his way
*Kris:* That's a ball.
*"Sound Guy":* Yeah. I know, yeah.
Lmao
I come back to this about once a year and it cracks me up every time.
Americans are the best at these kind of pranks. Love it how Chris’ attitude changed quickly once he recognized the great quality of pitching and the competitor in him woke up immediately. He felt challenged. “Gimme one more”. 😉👍🏼
Maybe, although Peter Forsberg pranking what I think might have basically been a rec league team in Sweden was good.
the best part..." you still want my bat?" .....no
classic - - NO
You still want my bat?
No.
😂😂😂
Bryant: you still want my bat?
Maddux: No.
ultimate hall of famer respnse
“Do you still want my bat?”
Greg: No.
"I throw to my Little League team... I was pretty good back in the day."
As ominous a throw-away comment as there is on CZcams, folks.
“That’s a ball.” “Yea I know.”
Madd Mann was a Monster on the mound. Hell he still is !
@ 3:00 kris starts getting tested and takes it more serious! lol so awesome!
Maddux was unreal. 5'11 180 for a pitcher is small. To do what he did in his career defies logic. Location Location Location
That's spot on correct.
you mean 5'8" and 230? lol! (Maddux was and apparently still is insanely good. sorry to chide his eating habits in retirement!)
MLB needs more pitchers like Greg Maddux today and less 6'8" ogres who throw nothing other than 100 mph fastballs.
Too many meathead coaches think size is all that matters. There were 4 inner circle HOFers (ignoring the BBWA) from his era: Maddux, Clemens, Unit, and Pedro. Somehow two of those guys were "undersized" to be pitchers. Maddux wasn't just a pitcher. He was an athlete. Good at hitting, fielding, and even running. He did it all. He wasn't a pitcher. He was a baseball player.
@@robloxvids2233 It's also worth mentioning that when I was a kid, one of the things I liked about baseball was the fact that you DIDN'T have to be big to play.
With basketball, only tall players can play, so I ruled out basketball at a very young age. If baseball is going to go the same route and force players to be gigantic, they are going to lose 80% of their farm system (young talent) because people will give up on baseball early and pursue athletic careers in other sports where height doesn't matter.
The NBA doesn't even have a minor league system because their talent pool is so shallow.
