Amazing video all-around, great stuff. You deserve more subs than you currently have, and you just gained one in me! The editing is great, your voice/delivery are fantastic as well. I'll be recommending this channel to a bunch of my friends. I also wanted to say, I was definitely confused at 8:24 because you hadn't specified that the list was including only qualified pitchers, even if they threw over 50 innings. As a Mets fan, I paused there for a sec and was like "Wait, didn't Jacob DeGrom throw like 100 innings or so in 2021 and had damn near a 400 ERA+?!" LOL. But I quickly figured you meant just qualified pitchers, especially after you pointed out right afterwards that it was due to the low sample size. That 2020 season was definitely wacky, especially for the record books, I always forget to think harder about stats that came out of that season.

Love the draft video!

I’ll admit I took the clickbait..but subsequently stuck around for the entire video. Seeing this perspective for each individual career is wild. Much like we’re used to with social media, MLB focuses on the highlights, i.e. silly money contracts, HR races, overall wins (obviously, as it’s a team sport). The extent of my interest tends to fluctuate with the success or lack thereof of my hometown team; which I’d imagine is much the same for most. Now THIS perspective is emotional! As if I needed something else to over-analyze😂 , now I’ll be afraid every error results in shattered dreams and surgery. I’ll just have to suck it up though since I’m well aware there’s no crying in baseball. This video is brilliant. Loved every second. ❤

Harper is perhaps my favorite player not on my favorite team. He's a pretty amazing player. That said, perhaps my favorite play involving him is that one where he ran into the wall that's shown in the video. That ball was hit by Tim Hudson for a homer.

Nice video! I get it how we can rate guys as a Busts or meh from where we sit. i’m an old guy… I’m in awe of anybody who’s played in the show even for just one at bat or 1/3 of an inning pitched. You have to grind to get that far and get some breaks. I grew up with a kid who had a one and 1 record as a pitcher in the Biggs. He also batted 1.000 1 for 1. still in awe that he got to experience that. It was back in the 1980s clue: he came from the same hometown is Keith Hernandez.

You know you suck when the White Sox don't want you and you gotta resort to writing a book that sold 11 copies. And don't tell me "oh yeah well the DODGERS wanted him back" because he was brought back 1)as a favor to his agent 2)as a fan favorite, which is understandable but it's not because he is the 'missing piece' to a championship lol

Man i've always loved Harper. Is he cocky? Hell yes. He owns that - if he is not the best, he is beating the crap out of himself to be the best. I think he's got a good heart.

Wow. How many breaks did the Asstros get. Nevermind.... Good Vid. Like to see the success stories

Adley Rutchmann is a stud. I knew the O's were going to be a winning team once they brought him up. He's a future MVP. He's going to be a 30+ HR catcher.

Orioles have been killing it in the drafts lately. Adley, Gunnar Henderson and now Jackson Holliday. That’s a deadly young core there. And that’s not even considering guys like Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad who could end up being really solid players.

this is a good video, and by the way in Pittsburgh, we do really like Henry Davis, but one thing you got wrong is he did NOT adjust nicely to the outfield last year. That move was a disaster, other than his arm. And if Endy Rodriguez didn’t get hurt, the Pirates still wouldn’t have put him out there. It might’ve meant an end to Andrew McCutchen as the DH though.

I didn’t see it mentioned in the video but Correa was dealing with plantar fasciitis in one of his feet for most of the 2023 season. He said if the twins weren’t in the playoff race he would have shut himself down due to how bad the pain was and it was clearly affecting his play but he decided to be out there every day instead and play through it. That’s why his numbers were down

MLB didn't just "start to crack down" on sticky substances. Trevor Bauer forced them to do it. Say what you want about him, but he did what no player had the balls to do in the Steroids era. Stand up to the weak-willed MLB hierarchy. He forced MLB to enforce their own rules. He flaunted the rule, and said, "Hey, enforce this, or I'll publicize how you're not."

I kinda respect correa for leaning into the villain role from 17. Sucks he has a bamboo ankle. He would make a great villain or antihero.

Harper is the Jacob deGrom of hitting. He swings too hard and its gonna be hell on his body the next 7-8 seasons

This video ruled.

I taught Biology and Chemistry at *LVHS* from 2004-2014. I had both Bryan and Bryce in class. Bryce was not _”basically baseball Jesus”_ at school. At least wasn’t treated like he was baseball Jesus. He was actually one of the most humble and kindhearted kids I ever had the pleasure of teaching. I remember watching him get up from a table where about 10 or so of his friends were gathered and walk over to sit next to a kid that pretty socially awkward and struggled making friends. Bryce just started making conversation and connecting with him. I thought it was really wholesome and healthy-minded that a 14yo boy noticed the kid that everyone else seemed to ignore and made him feel seen. People might not like him because of how competitive or hotheaded he gets, but I can attest that he is someone that you’d want as a friend or a neighbor.

Casey Mize off to good start so far, just lowered era to 2.95 tonight after 4th start.

Re: the blown stolen base call in the 2007 ALCS That wasn’t a steal attempt, he hit a ball off the monster and was “thrown out” trying to stretch it into a double. He was clearly safe

Ethan signed balls for my son and his 2 buddies. They are 11 and it made their day. Super cool of them. Our goal is to get all 3 holidays on the ball!

Very interesting that all of the Astros’ stars had career-highs and one of the best home records in baseball in 2017. Almost like they knew what pitch was coming or something…what was that banging noise?? 🤔🤔
