- You know those test-your-pitch speed games at some Major League Baseball stadiums? For one fan it led to an MLB contract!
This was the kid who destroyed everyone in a snowball fight
DestraxxFN can’t relate live in Florida
And destroy people at dodgeball at school
Terry How about Mississippi for you. The snow would become a flood before it hit the ground
Dude amagine being the dad fighting the neighborhood kids and dad with a 94 mph snowball
LIL PEEP
Mom: how was the game
That guy: I got signed to the A’s
🤣🤣 bruh imagine
Lmao thats so dope tho

Haha so true
Lol
'' He didn't have a good arm then'' thank god he stayed single for all them years to work on his throwing arm
ayoooooooooooooooooooooooo ;)))

That's the A's for you. I can see Brad Pitt now "what's cheaper than getting a random guy off the street? We're signing him!"
😂😭😂😭😂😭
Lets hope he gets on base
"Sounds like an Oakland A already."
They already released him. He's with the Brewers now though

He played minor league for a year and was released back in November, for anyone who cares
Edit: Apparently he was just picked up by Brewers
@dmb acnt I mean, technically he's a free agent. Anyone can sign him.
There's far more to pitching than a 96 mph fastball. Give me a guy who touches 90 with movement, a curveball, slider and change up he can locate and you caan work with that.
That's pretty much all I cared about, thank you sir.
@@twwtjohns he doesn’t throw 96. I can throw 91 if I get a moving start and I only throw 86 off the mound. He’s low 90s

My nephew had tryout with L.A. Dodgers, clocked 98 mph. They didn't like his wind up, didn't sign him. Joined U.S. Navy instead. Couldn't be prouder of him or more disappointed with L. A. .
if there is something wrong with his windup then he should work on it what if he gets Tommy john surgery if anything the Dodgers are doing your nephew a favor it's more important to protect his arm then anything
@@radoverpink never heard a word from L.A. about what they did not like. The boy was o ly 19, left handed ant still trainable. This was years ago, too late now.
Doubt they would have signed him directly on with the Dodgers anyway. Anyone that goes to those very rare open tryouts gets sent to the minors for a chance to eventually make it to the majors.
@@dadasaurusrex5461 he was invited, 19 years old. No real answer why, just didn't like something about windup. That's MLB. Remember Valenzuela's windup. Sometimes oddities pay off, sometimes not. All differant now, with the way the game is played now.

I grew up with a guy who had a 98 mile an hour fast ball in high school. He was signed by the Reds and blew out his shoulder and never played a game. Growing up being a regular 15 year old, trying to play baseball with your friend while you have 80 mile an hour fast balls whizzing by your face because he wants to play baseball so he's "taking it easy on you" was quite the experience. BUT he never once hit me haha
Most drafted players never make it to the majors. Only 16 percent of drafted players will ever play a major league game, and that's skewed to early round picks, late rounders have less than a 4 percent chance. My business partner was drafted by the braves as a pitcher during the Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz era. He kicked around the minors for 7 years and hung it up.
"I dunno. I don't like his form..."
"Bill, _he comes with his own baseball cap!"_

Wjat about trash
He probably was prepping for that day. It was pretty much an audition. He knew it would draw attention.
If you are wondering, like I was...
He retired from Minor League Baseball on May 27 having never pitched in a big league game. He was was released by the A's a few months after signing. Milwaukee later picked him up making it to high A but I suppose the sun wasn't meant to shine on this pasture.
Exciting story though!
Just hoped he fixed that crow hop as that easily adds a few mph and a baulk.
The real life “rookie of the year” movie.
Cool Smooth they probably don’t want him as a pitcher. He did crowhop, and 96 is ideal for outfield
Cool Smooth you do realize “rookie of the year” is based on a true story? This would be more like the sequel

Fun Fact, this kid went to my high school and got cut junior and senior year just cause he couldn’t throw hard, now look at him.
r/thatHappened
he's also bunny hopping to throw 94.. i don't see how that translates to being in the major league. maybe from a pitching stance but thats an outfield throw. in my opinion the most boring position in baseball.
Plot twist: Speed counter was broken
They didn’t show the booth workers all lying in a bloody heap.
“We better get this kid some control before he kills somebody.”
It's rare to have a random dude who throws 96 mph who is not under any teams radar. Somebody was lunching!

The thing I like about baseball is that of all the major league team sports, it's one where anyone can, if they have skill and talent, get signed up to play. Most other sports the only route in is through a college team. A schoolmate of mine was signed to a semi pro team right out of high school. He played one year of double A and one year of Triple A then went right to the majors and played for ten years. He earned enough to retire at the age of 30 with a healthy retirement fund, a home, a vacation home, nice cars etc.

This is really a great story. Hopefully he develops because just about every single major leaguer can smoke a fastball if that's all you got for them to sit on.
It is impressive but the fact that he’s running into the pitch adds at least 10mph
yes because you can throw an 86 mph ball. and hes not running its s crop hop
sfx944 saying “but” after his compliment undermines what he said initially.
sfx944 usually when someone says something negative about u and follows up with a positive and vice verse they’re being hiddenly negative they don’t mean it
sfx944 ok squirt
No it doesn’t. And he’s not running into.
What he is doing would be about 6 mph faster than from a mound. If you knew baseball, mechanics, etc. you wouldn’t need this explained to you.
Can you take that step to throw?
Kinda like Happy Gilmore swing
3 of my friends & I all did that at an Indians game in 1993. All 4 of us maxed out at exactly 55. LOL!
