- Hey everyone!
It's always fun to look at top 100 prospect lists of the past to see which players were accurately predicted. However, some players are hyped up to the point where it seems they can never reach those expectations. Despite having a great career, Jason Heyward has seemingly fallen short of those giant expectations. He was one of the most hyped up prospects ever, but make no mistake, Heyward is a fantastic player.

I remember a lot of Giants fans being very unhappy about drafting Bumgarner instead of Heyward. It certainly looked like a mistake initially with how good Heyward was early in his career.
Bumgarner was just as good early on though, by 2012, he was definitely the superior player. He became the ace in 2013, while Heyward at his best was never really a top outfielder.
id take bumgarner any day over heyward
Bumgarner 3 Rings
Heyward 1
@@MichaelAnthonyPresents Heyward was the 5th best outfielder in MLB from 2010-15. He was a top outfielder.
@@AidanCulverREAL Defensively maybe but offensively he was never more than above average.
Heyward’s early years in Atlanta were one of the many reasons I chose to become a Braves fan, he was my favorite player growing up next to Chipper Jones. It’s sad to see how much he’s declined over the years
Name 3 more reasons
@@b.o.4469 why does he have too
@@captaindolphin1489 he said he had many reasons I thought 3 more would be a reasonable ask
@@b.o.4469 My dad was a Braves fan growing up and took me to games occasionally when I grew up, I loved the Braves’ uniforms more than anyone else’s growing up so I really attached to the team because of that, and Atlanta is the closest major league team to where I live at
@@thenotoriousmm4433 then you were always a fan since you were born into the team. You didn’t choose the braves. Your dad did. I didn’t choose the Angels. My dad did.
Really happy with the end of the video. Way too often people talk about Heyward's career as being a disappointment, but in reality no one can live up to hype that intense. He's had a great career.
I'll give him credit for his glovework, but if that's considered a great career, then the standards have surely dropped.
I remember his first home run so vividly. He was so hyped up, and it seemed for a fleeting moment that he was going to exceed all of them.
I do too. He backed the hype up if only for a brief period
To this day... I truly believe that the year he got his jaw broken from a pitch to the face was the year his offensive potential went down.
That absolutely sucked
I’ve always said that because if I’m not mistaken going into that game he were HOT like I think he had a 10-15 game hitting streak snapped and after that I feel like he was never the same.
Totally forgot about that, he was really never the same
What year?
@@MustacheDLuffy 2013. I looked it up right after I posted this.
Can’t wait too see a Braves rebuild video sooo many trades built that championship roster last year
Can't wait!
I’m here for it
If Heyward was better the Cubs could have won Multiple World Series.
No
This might be a flex (not sure) but when i was like 14 i was going through a cancerous tumor removal and i managed to get a signed Heyward baseball from him. Ive had it for 12 years and its still one of my prised possessions
Wow I bet that’s certainly one of the most unique things he ever signed. I wonder if he remembers that at all
@@SportStorm23 I highly doubt it, I should go to Chicago just to see
as a cardinals fan, getting heyward was one of my happiest moments as a fan. it truly hurt to see him go to the cubs but honestly they needed to win sometime
if it makes you feel any better hes definitely a prime contributor to them sucking now too
I hate his diss of the cardinals on the way out.
Didn't they get him because of the death of Oscar taveras
They did not win because of he years. Dudes a bum ever since he’s been on the cubs
I still get goosebumps watching his first MLB at-bat. I remember watching this game from my dorm room in college going insane when he hit the homer off Zambrano…
I was fortunate enough to compete against him when he played for the East Cobb Astros, it was clear he was gonna be a big-leaguer from day 1.
Great video! I always loved Heyward's talent; I hope he'll make the Dodgers' opening roster.
Anyway, thank you; I'm now subscribed!
5 gold gloves, an all star, won a ws and has made millions. Very successful career
I’m a huge cubs fan, and I’ve known fellow fans who complain that his contract was too big and he wouldn’t live up to all the hype or the money. The part he played in helping us win the WS made him worth every penny we’ve paid and continue to pay him. His bat might not be what it was hyped to be, but his glove and especially his presence on the team have made him priceless
he hit 230. and gave a speech that's worth 187 mil i guess after 87 years
I remember everyone was excited about Heyward coming to Chicago and I wasn't sold and sure enough it was a bust. Yeah he's a good glove, but that's where it stops.
the heyward-strasburg-posey rookie trio was pretty amazing
MLB: The Show 2011 remembers the hype.
Been waiting years for this inevitable video
I remember. And Jeff Francoeur was even moreso. Do him next!
I watched that 1st AB home run here in Germany. Will never forget it.....
I’m a Cubs fan who saw J-Hey hit his first ever home run and was so hyped when he signed with the Cubs. I just was pretty disappointed to see how much he’s struggled with the Cubs
He’s a bum. He got his money and now he’s riding it out
I vividly remember his HR in is opening day (I was bechind the left field foul pole)
I remember Jason in Atlanta, he was fun to watch. I can’t help but feel like The Braves hitting advice might have worked against him. When got to the major leagues the Braves tried to “fix” his swing. I remember hearing that someone said “his swing had a hole in it that pitchers could exploit.” If all this is true I think it did a disservice to him because I can only imagine the fire hose you were drinking from in the major leagues and then to have somebody mess with your swing that got you to the major leagues. Still a great player in great career despite that.
same birthday as me, always been my guy, crazy someone made a video on him
this is your best one yet, great story telling
I got into baseball right when Jason got to the mlb he was my favorite player for as long as he was a brave I still have a signed ball From him and a fathead of him
Great vid . I think heyward sufferd a lot offensively by playing in that Atlanta stadium . I also think he fell into the money ball “a walk is as good as a hit “ way of thinking . He still has had a great career
Thank You Storm Bro always really wanted to know why he got the biggest cash out for such little results.
Keep up the good work man.
I was at the game when he hit a homer in his first at bat and it was so lit in that stadium.
Great video man was he good at a young age, he definitely fell off fast but he’s still playing and contributing for Cubs especially in the playoffs
The reason he wears 22 is beautiful and shows u what type of person Jason is.. Heyward a real one. Glad he got that ring in 2016.
Braves may not have won the World Series without the Heyward trade. We got Shelby Miller in return who we later flipped for Dansby and Ender Inciarte.
I watch Hayward play..He’s got speed..He’s got power..He’s got the Glove..He’s got the arm..But somehow can’t put it together
Is this the narrator the same guy who runs “Company Man”? Took me so long to realize it’s the exact same voice.
This is a feel good story. Love it
Heyward is a legend with Braves and Cubs fans, and that’s all that should matter
As a Cubs fan, I’m big sad
I remember wanting his rookie card so bad back in 2010. All the Beckett magazines said to get him. I finally found one in a collection years later, by that time no one cared. Crazy how a few years changes things.
Great video! Getting hit in the face is what derailed Heyward in my opinion.
everything you mentioned is like directly in order from his wikipedia page haha. wonder if they updated it after your vid
Jay Hey is still very much loved in Atlanta
I remember his first Homerun against the Cubs vividly. I thought him and Francouer was going to be better. They always had that hole in their swings though so expected.
2nd best thing that happened to the cardinals, they are so glad he didn’t accept their offer and signed with the cubs
I don’t think the Cubs have ever wasted more money on someone who has produced absolutely nothing.
Exactly. Double Play Hey!! Hot garbage!!
This video came out right as I was sitting next to my cousin that got to pitch against Heyward in high school
Did he walk Heyward?
@@SportStorm23 ok I kinda lied to make it more interesting. He pitched the game before and was spared having to pitch to Heyward
1:15 “Eugeeeeeene”
Finally some Braves content!!
Heyward is a leader and a great teammate to go along with his great defense and around league average hitting. It's a shame he didn't live up to the hype, but who really ever does? Very, very few.
His defense has fallen off since 2015. The same has been true for his bat.
Jason got hit in the face with a fastball which broke his jaw. That was in his fourth season I think, that’s why his hitting dropped off in my opinion. His sophomore slump notwithstanding.
I fell into the hype: Heyward was the first player I ever bought a jersey of. Still have it. He wasn't a bust by any means, but he didn't meet those insane expectations.
I remember it was him and buster posey
You sound like Matt pat from game theory!
Still remember the preseason hype on Baseball Tonight. He was touted as the next Chipper Jones. I drafted him on my fantasy team and he hits a 3-run bomb in his first career PA in front of a sellout crowd and National TV audience. It’s a shame he’ll only be remembered as an overpaid defensive RFer.
Chipper Jones once called Heyward “a force to be dealt with in the league” and we all knew what he was talking about.
I wonder if the braves kept their interest in heyward very secret??
I always wished my red Sox would have gotten him
Heyward reminded me of Griffey
ahead of david price and josh vitters.
...bro. i never heard that name until this video. there had to have been another name in that class that coulda been used for comparison right?
In 2014 and 2015, Heyward had 24 homers and 118 rbi.....COMBINED. I don't care if he played good defense, a slugger has to have 30 homers/100 rbi per season.
Jasons a great guy no doubt but if you plug in just a slightly better bat from 2017-2019 the entire Cubs legacy changes. The offense that always came just a HAIR short pulls through and MAYBE Almora doesn't hit that little girl with his foul ball and keeps on that .280-.300 hitting trend. Cubs dont trade the core in 2021 and arnt tied down by that albatrosses contract.
i remember when he was supposed to be a superstar. nonetheless he has managed to carve out a pretty good mlb career
I never thought as Jay hey as a offensive player but ok
He WAS..................hasn't empressed me since he left the Braves. But that's my opinion.
Heyward ultimately got the Braves Dansby Swanson.
I don't know his bat took a dump when he joined the Cubs. Great defender though.
Haha once he was getting compared to Willie Mays I knew it was a wrap
I’ll go against the grain of most comments here.
He was dramatically overpaid by the Cubs. His cubs tenure was basically him collecting a check.
I believe Heyward was the worst acquistion the Cubs ever made. He had a fear of the baseball after he got hit. He was a rally killer.
i did NOT know Jason Heyward and Giancarlo Stanton were the same age i thought bro was 36
Me:willie mays bam next superstar
instant tears when he lost his friend
Idk why but I can't help but like J Hey. Just seems like a nice dude and I'm glad he got his ring. I also love that he wears 22 to honour a lost high school team mate.
He got his bag, he got his ring, and he got to fulfil every dream he ever had. Even if he isn't Willie Mays 2.0, he doesn't have much to complain about
He fleeced the cubs 😂
Ok, right off the start, I doubt if he wanted to play baseball " for the rest of his life " Did he think he was gonna keel over when he turns 40?
As a cubs fan I can say this is by far the worst contract ever signed in Chicago sports history he got his money and said nah I don't gotta try anymore
Double Play Hey!!! A legend at the bank.
As a cubs fan who watches this guy year after year I gotta say he’s been one of the most disappointing signing of all time, defense is good but in baseball you gotta hit the ball and Jason is know for hitting a weak ground ball to second
Wow I’m actually surprised to hear that since cubs fans are known for having extremely low expectations. He robbed the cubs plain and simple. He’s been a bum
W
as a mets fan , those were the days when Jason Hayward would come and kick the Mets ass lol
To be fair he’s actually been a pretty decent player not the superstar Hall of Famer he was supposed to be but how many really are lol
1 minute gang 👏👏👏
He had a bad swing. It was always worried about his swing. They really needed to cha ge it
you should do a video called “zach davies: the worst husband in baseball”
Joe Mauer gets a stipend for 1000000 a year if he lives here permanently from the state of Minnesota
GMC Suburban? 🤔
I always said he was overrated and never saw anything special about him I was right
Oh shit his friend went to Walter state. They’re disgusting
He is one of the worst hitters of all time
GMC suburban?
I swear the articles I read said GMC but I just learned it’s a Chevy suburban
@@SportStorm23 GMC and Chevy are technically the same brand so you were actually not wrong in a way
The GMC was also called Suburban until GM rebranded it as the GMC Yukon XL.
@@TheChoochooboy99 aww thanks for filling me in!
Heyward has made a career of underachieving.
Thank God the Cardinals lost out to the Cubs on him! I was never impressed with him in a Cardinals uniform!
I watched every game he played in ATL and he was forgettable. He wasn't even a phenomenon really.
Jason Heyward is the one of the most disappointing players I've ever watched. Seems like after his rookie season he just got worse and worse. Sad to see.
Look at his bank account and then look at yours, who's the failure?
The definition of overrated.
Learn the differnce between "less" and fewer" amd how to pronounce "integral". Good grief
The man cant hit a ball
He's had a terribly bad career at the MLB level tho. He's only in the league bc of guaranteed contracts. He's had one solid offensive season since 2016. Making $23M a yr for an average player is frightening.
He still sucks with the dodgers.
Jay Bruce was better
The story of Jason is “who cares if u don’t fulfill expectations!” The career he has had is something any fan or player would dream of having. I’ll remember him as a defensive guru who helped the cubs win. What else can I ask for?
He’s nearly a career 40 WAR player who managed to be one of the best defensive players of his era while also being an average offensive player, and yet we continue to look at him as a disappointment simply because he didn’t fulfill the expectation of being mike trout. i completely agree with your comment
Well said peo people are so analytical these days and if he does not achieve a good war. the contract is a bust. look at Pujols is stats his contract was the best but he put up harper #
It’d be nice if he didn’t roll over into double plays as often.
I thought heyward was going to the next great power average hitter. He was hitting frozen ropes when he was coming up. Never saw anyone hit harder line drives. But things obviously changed
I was real happy for him that he helped the Cubs win.
He really just seems like an incredibly good dude and that's always awesome to see in an athlete, regardless of their level of personal success.
