What's the name of the song at the 3min mark

Ahh yes very calm 😂

If they’re colloquially known as “good players” what is the technical term?

1:22 Jesus christ dude put a TW on this for us rockies fans

I just don’t know why he was in traded to an American league team earlier in his career

609 obp is crazy

Great video!

This is kinda based on your “Let’s Watch Rickey Henderson Play Baseball” video but it would be cool to develop a stat that tracks the psychological impact of a player’s baserunning. It was clear in the 1989 ALCS footage that pitchers were distracted by Rickey. Over a season, that had to have some impact on his team’s hitting when he was on base. I think it’s a challenge to measure though because you’d have to compare not only to how those hitters performed with no one on but also how they performed with other baserunners on in any given situation. There would probably be sample size problems unfortunately :(

56 comp,ete games in his career wow was he playing softball relief pitchers bailed him out

i think this is your best video ever. i keep coming back to it and thinking about it.

The Modern Day DeGrom is Reese Olson

Wow Brandon Beachy in a Braves uniform hadn’t seen that in awhile. I don’t remember this but this a great video initially he clearly looks out but upon further review it’s not so obvious. Just goes to show that once a narrative is formed the truth becomes irrelevant

After watching Skenes’ debut, had to see the real GOAT debut

At 9:01, I have seen 425 ft doubles at chase field, though i feel like all landed on the warning track or right at the base of the wall, which is different of course. But its not TOO far offf

Well, the good news is no team will EVER fail to scout a good high school hitter from new jersey again lol. Can you imagine if it happened again? A scout could literally be fired lol

2024, its literally been years now and I still cannot believe this actually happened. I legitimately believe if you took 100 random high school players, and gave them all 54 at bats in MLB games, at least a few would have gotten a hit or 2. For a (once) great MLB hitter to somehow manage this is insane. It was exceedingly rare even for pitchers, they averaged like 5-10 hits/54 ABs.

You should do a video on the 4 seasons that have happened with a player recording 30hr and less than 60 rbi. I’ve named that type of season an Earhart

Seeing those stats per start are even more incredible in the pussified world we know live in where a pitcher is gone by the 7th inning regardless of how well he is doing. Baseball is so incredibly diluted know, we’ll never see the likes of a another Pedro again, even if the talent exists in a new player. I’m glad I enjoyed the best decades of baseball!

When I need corner edging on a house painted, I call Maddux. There will just right, he is a master at painting corners.

Well, if you count his bullpen warmup session and in between inning warmup pitches, it is easily more than 76 pitches.

Inner circle

1:46 Ok, Candy Cummings? Really? I bet you 1 million dollars someone with that screen name is highly ranked on P**nhub. Edit: LOL good thing I didn't put real money down. Searching google shows a british Xvideo model, but not a p**nhub one 😆

This is what always annoys me me when people complain about analytics. None of them are actually NEW. Even in the 70s there were managers/FOs who understood the value of a high OBP guy, especially ehen the rest of the league doesn't want him. They understood that walks and homers were the easiest way to rack up runs. Hell, Williams wrote a whole book about launch angles and such like 60 years ago. Only difference in 2024 is every team is now on the same page about most of this.

1:54 Is this an illusion or did he used to swing a REALLY big bat?? That seems like its even longer than Stantons

Biggio didn’t play in the American league.

Still your best video man

As a woman watching this video, I can confirm that I do not exist.

This has been a certified Angel Hernandez strike zone moment.

As a favourite pitcher you could choose any great player in the last 100 years OR the only one that killed a bird with a fast ball

Anyone see this in 2024?

You're asking for the 50+1 rule from German football. Football teams have to be membership organizations and the 50% +1 vote MUST be held by members. That's why German football fans are incredibly passionate about their teams, sticking with them through thick and thin, relegation and championships, while a team moving somewhere else is practically unthinkable. It ties fans much closer to their club because it IS actually their club. Members have voted on doubling membership dues for a year to pay off debts of the club to allow for promotion to a higher league. Every sport should be structured like this, teams should belong to their fans and not to billionaire investors.

7:10 I honestly feel like people sometimes dont realize just how unbelievably massive for the civil rights movement this was. Cause I mean with no other context, desegregating a single sports league would be a wonderful accomplishment, but it wouldn't automatically have any greater meaning than just...desegregating one league in one sport. But when you look at in the context of what baseball represented to america then...I mean it kinda WAS american sports. It was insanely culturally influential, it had nearly a century of history already, and importantly it was very traditional/conservative. Not in a political way so much as just... like the NFL changes the kickoff start line every other year. MLB simply doesn't change like that. Its very set in its ways/traditions. And it was the everymans sport, in a way that the NFL (unfortunately) is more of now. All that to say, the fact that the MLB even allowed integration was a pretty big moment already, they had a LOT of cultural relevance. But big thing was that it went so (relatively) smoothly. Of course there were a number of afwul incidents during the process, but it went SO MUCH BETTER than segregationists said it would. The games didn't descend into a series of race riots. The players performed just as well or better than their white counterparts (because, you know, they *are normal human beings*), and it objectively improved the quality of the games drastically in a very short time. The dodgers didn't fall apart because of the "mixing of cultures and values" or whatever nonsense people fearmongered. It just...ended up being totally fine. And THAT was the big deal. There was so much fear from the whites, and even some from black people, about whether the 2 would *ever* really be able to work together. The 2 cultures were seen as completely seperate and incompatible. But watching Robinsons rookie season, seeing that the vast majority of players didn't actually seem to have any trouble with him, that Robinson wasn't some awful, scary monster like so many people sadly perceived black men at the time, that he was actually incredibly graceful under the pressure...that was a really good start. Americans were finally seeing/hearing a black man doing awesome at his job and working really well with the white players. That was even better. And then it CONTINUED! Lots of black people started to play, and hey! They seem to be pretty good, and people are more and more used to seeing it by the day. Soon most fanbases were seeing a black player being literally part of the team. They were just normal dudes! By the late 50s, the majority of american public and the league as a whole were pretty much fully adjusted to the idea. Still no sign of any horrible consequences of it. It sounds silly, its just a sport after all, but that really was increadibly important. Even hollywood wasn't really casting black and white people together, other than some occasional (usually offensive) bit parts. Music was getting better. But this was the biggest and most visible change yet. And it helped a LOT of white people get more comfortable with the idea of desegregation. There were many other factors of course, but MLB desegregating so successfully so early on mattered. And FWIW I think it was hands down the best move to make him the first one. If the first black player was like showing up drunk, or picking fights, that would have had a pretty strong NEGATIVE impact for all the above reasons (not saying I think this was LIKELY if any other player was chosen of course, just mean as an example). Even his skillset was a good call. He wasn't just generally good. He was historically exciting. Stolen bases, home runs, web gems, those sorts of plays that stick in peoples minds more than just a first baseman hitting 30 hrs and having a 140 OPS, with zero defensive or baserunning value. It would be elite performance of course, but not as fun to watch day to day.

The number to contact the sheriff called someone in New Jersey lol

Bailey, I'm legitimately not a baseball fan but you're so freaking good at making these videos I can't help but watch

"I am going to vaporize him off the Earth" LOL

I dunno why we dont just let all athletes use whatever they want for enhancement. Its entertainment and imagine the shit we would witness. Fuck it.

You didn't mention that even the runner acted as if he was out. if he missed the tag he for sure wouldn't have reacted like that. among other things, its hard for me to be confident that he is out.

Always love seeing these. It’s like a baseball treat!

He’s undeniably an all time great, but there was this guy down in Atlanta, I don’t know if you’ve heard of him, he’s called Greg Maddux and I think he’s better

Holy shit that st louis browns logo is real im dead lmfaioo

3:22 - 3:29 An incredibly unhinged compliment, out of content

Hey I am from Japan and Hoss isnt my favorite player, and I am covered for money back guarantee. Where can I go to get my money back?

Actually, as of 2024, he now has 76.4 WAR!

Fan-fucking-tastic video, incredible commentary, editing, music. Great job man, this video gives Bonds the credit that’s due.

I wonder about a stat that could support a "quantity start". Look at the bullpen ERA for the games after a quantity start. That is where the benefit of giving relief pitchers a break will show.

Ok, but who do YOU think is the greatest pitcher of all time Bailey?

great video, thanks.

I just came back because Gavin Stone just threw a 1:55 game; shortest Dodger game since 2006.

I clicked this thinking it was going to be a baseball game with anti hero please💀💀💀 I’m a swiftie ok🙃
