2015 was a crazy year. Kershaw won 3 of the previous 4 Cy Youngs, went 16-7 with a 2.13 ERA, lead the league in IP, K, and FIP. . . and finished 3rd in Cy Young voting, and you cant even say he was robbed. Greinke and Arrieta were SO GOOD that year.

As someone on the autism spectrum, I definitely get the feeling Greinke is as well. I'm guilty of a lot of the seemingly off-putting behavior as well, but it can just boil down to stress and fear of human interaction, or performing well in front of a crowd, etc.. that can lead to social anxiety and self doubt. Every time I hear Greinke speak, I'm further convinced he has ASD.

I see more SAD than ASD tbh.

I watched Zack throw 20 strikeouts for the Royals against the Indians in 2009, dude is definitely one of the most talented pitchers of all time and definitely a Hall of Famer. His mind for the game is also unlike any other player I've seen, in a way he's kind of like the Bill Belicheck(sp.) of baseball. And as someone who's biggest enemy is myself the majority of the time due to the myriad of mental health issues I deal with, being able to see Zack still put in work after almost 20 years while dealing with similar issues, makes him one of my biggest heroes in all of sports. Thanks for just being you, Zack! Go, Royals! 💙

Always been a fan of Zack, he reminds me of pro chess players, where's he an absolute genius with some serious talent, but he doesn't "play" he "preforms". His flip outs and weird habits line up with some of the greatest chess grandmasters in history.

From all reports, particularly when he’s meeting young fans, he’s an incredibly lovely guy too.

dude...so close to 3,000. I think he, like Waino just spent 1 too many season in the game yet while I love and respect Adam Zack is a HOF level player.

Definitely has a touch of the Tism Him and Trevor Bauer too

It’s honestly inspiring as someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder to see someone with Social Anxiety Disorder be in such a pressure filled position and be so successful at it

Zack: Do more of that Alex Gordon: 🧍‍♂️ Self-reflection isn’t easy, but it allows you to think critically and boost self-awareness. Greinke the GOAT!

I remember 2005 being at a Royals game. The BIG SCREEN showed him saying this guys gonna be future of pitching. I remeber thinking let's see what bro will become. Here I am 2024 watching videos about him

I'm so glad he's been, and currently is, a Royal. I think the Alex Gordon story is my favorite one. There's still time to help other teammates out of their future slumps. It will work. How could it not?

Ok, truly he absolutly has to become a hitting coach.

Being from a software engineering i know alot of people like this. One of my friends had a very primising offer to an international research station only to deny it and go fry chicken because that was his true dream .

Did Clemens dirty with that pic😂

He was pitching in detroit his 2nd to last start and I just had to be there to see him play in person. Plus I wanted to see one last rematch of miggy vs greinke and it was awesome! Got a couple cool videos on my phone too!

_The Dollop_ podcast has a hilarious episode about Rube Waddell. Absolutely worth a listen. It's hysterical

I remember his response shortly after Mac said that to him. I was right there! Shortly after the door to Buddy's office was closed. Allard, Zack and Buddy in that room.

I love these videos man I know baseball but not enough and these videos are always interesting good for when I’m cooking

I enjoyed watching him when he played for Houston. I even saw him live in Oakland, and he got the W.

Brilliant, I need to start calling on the first base ump for my check swings too.

Haha. Greinke with the Dodgers at a players meeting when they ask if anyone has anything to say,”It has come to my attention that some of you don’t wash you’re hands after using the bathroom. That’s gross.” Team, “Anything else?” …..Greinke”No.”

i remember there was one game with Houston where he is pitching and then he talks to the catcher with the other teams batter in the batters box (i also think this was 2020 as well) and he just says all the pitches he was going to use and what signs that would be for fun.

He is one of my fav pitchers.

probably one of my favorite players

Excellent video!

I was at Zack's high school graduation. He went to high with my sister in law.

I love your videos man, always informative and very well edited! the only piece of feedback I have is that your delivery is a bit repetitive, I think people refer to it as the "KZreadr accent".

He is great

Another one who was ahead of his time. If he was rising up right now, they'd definitely groom him to be a 2 way player like Ohtani.

Excellent vid.

I wish we could see what his career woulda been like as a shortstop too.

Reporter: how you feel about your performance today? Greinki: “good it was lot people there” 😂

Honorable mention of when he went and sat in the bleachers by himself during the Covid season with the Astros lol

Zack Grienkes spirit animal is Zack Grienke in the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite player of all time. He should have won the cy young in 2015. Jake only won because he had more wins. I'm probably wrong but I think that and SO were the only stats Jake had more of than Greinke.

8:00 The hardest thing to do in sports is play scratch, tournament golf. My stepdad played soccer, football, baseball, basketball and golf. Almost 60 years old and can score in the paint but he still cusses golf because it can’t be mastered 😂

I love Greinke and it hurts that we couldn’t win him a ring in 2019.

The Dodgers flew to Australia in 2014 to open the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks...IMO....I believe Zach complained of back problems to before the trip...Being quite familiar with anxiety disorder with one of my daughters...The thought of flying over the ocean may have terrified him.

Thats a nice-looking shaving razor

There's a movie, if I'm being honest it's not too great, called "A Mile in His Shoes." I personally liked the movie but the more I watched it the more I thought of Zach Grienke. And, if you've watched it or choose to watch it now, I mean that in the best way possible. Baseball needs more Grienkes.

That Grienke curve/ephis broke mvp baseball on the ps2

Greinke is the real life equivalent of an anime protagonist who is oblivious to the world but possesses unnatural powers.

Likely his social anxiety issues that made him react that way to being called up to the mlb. He's such a great example of what people can accomplish even on a huge public stage with those hardships

That was quite possibly the most normal fact about spaceman you coulda said lol

Can’t believe he roasted chipotle publicly for raising the price of guac 30 cents 😂😂😂

His Ks are now really close to 3,000

Would have loved to see him play two ways

Its kinda nice that Zachs last game was 5 shutout against the Yankees.

He was great, he was weird, but I'm betting after a 1-15 season with a very high 5 plus ERA he'll probably retire. I guess that's why I used "was." He was really, really smart in a Rainman kind of way.

Don’t forget about his 13 games with the Angels

nice vid

Zack greinke looks like he would make a new pitch

Zack about to go buy a lawnmower and fulfill his dream of cutting grass! He'll absolutely love it!

I was born the year the royals drafted him and he’s still in the blue 🥲

I’ve always said I have Kershaw on my left and Greinke on my right shoulder. I often go Greinke when I look for advise. Not that he’s a Sith Lord he’s just more of a neutral do your own thing guy.

One of the most odd combinations of talented, humble, and…ODD!

Good. 👍

Yes there will be another Zack Greinke. His name will be Grack Zeinke, he will be from Bizarro's home world.

I still think Rube Waddell was the weirdest in mlb history. Greinke didn't have to be restsined from chasing fire wagons down the street...wadell did

I don't think he's weird

I think dude just wanted to play shortstop before he was dyagnosed with depression and social anxiety. But after that he probably just changed his mind and thought that it was something big to be a pitcher in the major leagues. In my eyes, he was just a lazy genius of an athlete, approaching votto like that and the fact that he didn't need to practice a lot of times the 2-seamer after not using it for years just shows what a talent he had, and how "lazy" he was
