  • Recently, Cole spent an entire day with Top High School Prospect, Antonio Gianni.
    After 10+ years and multiple surgeries, can he make Antonio’s High School Team?

    As a fellow musician, baseball, and mathematics dude, I tip my hat to ya
    I thought I hung em up back in 09 when I decided to go full in on music and engineering. I thought I'd never make a return. I got my degree in engineering and somehow found my way back to baseball by making and studying baseball bats.
    By using bats to test out my designs, I got my swing back and after 13 years of not playing, I can once again hit nukes on the field. The game never leaves you. The only thing that changes is your place in the game. I'm a batsmith. You're a content creator. Antonio is going to be in the Show. We all have our roles
    Best of luck to you Cole. You ain't done yet

    The average fan would probably struggle to make a JV team. Especially those that have been away from the game for any length of time.

      I've been out for 14 years. Wasn't a top prospect in high school. I was good. But I don't know if I could make a team now. I'm broken and couldn't tell you the last time I even swung a bat lol

      Ever so proud of you, Cole, after a day of training for any Athlete10 years off, will have somewhat a rough time, just from the beginning of meals, i knew then , ( camera off) restroom break soft toss baseball time,
      I so miss coaching , training, and watching you on and off the field , I would love to have some BP, and Fielding practice with you and see if pops still has it
      miss you Cole ,
      l love you so much , One Proud pops,

      ​@NFN Honey Badger I've been out of the game for about 20 years now. Went into a batting cage a couple months ago for the first time in at least 15 years and didn't touch a single ball at 65 mph.

    • @gochawich
      @gochawich ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In my HS they never had a good jv baseball team, they throw like 40 mph so I bet any grown adult can pitch better and probably bat better

    This NEEDS to be a staple on this channel. Awesome idea and content that will pop. Title the series, “Can I Play?” or “Do I Have Enough” or “Still Got It!” Something to that effect. Regardless, this needs to continue!

    "Average fan" making a decent HS Varsity baseball team? ZERO chance. Baseball is really hard, and guys that make varsity in any decent program have played since they were 8 or younger, most played lots of competitive travel ball, have played literally hundreds of games, etc. No chance. An average fan could not make a decent 12 year old all star team...

    This was great, Cole! As a 22-year-old who had my shoulder redone last year, I feel your pain 🙏 This video made me think of Eli Manning in his walk-on video in a way lol, would love a spinoff series where Trevor goes undercover and dominates high school or college teams.
