I played t-ball and I tell you the level of play is ridiculous. Those kids hit the ball almost every time.

These inside baseball posts you're doing are fascinating, great job. I clicked on 1 by accident now I've watched 6 in a row.

Out of high school, I played in an adult league in AZ. We faced this guy who just got cut from the AAA Yankees team the week before. Early in the game he was sitting at about 92MPH. By the 6th inning or so, he dropped to about 89-90MPH. I just ahead of the count, 2-0, and I was looking to crush his 89MPH fastball, and he umped it up to about 93MPH. I was so behind that I didn't even bother swinging. He tricked me. It was the coolest thing that I had ever seen, and I had seen many cool things, being a catcher.

I am 1000% addicted to your vids. I played small college baseball (middle infield) in the late 90's and you lived my dream and are answering EVERY question i ever wondered. your the man! keep it up.

I guess this video is pretty old, but I appreciate the explanation anyway. My nephew just moved up to "High-A" ball in the Mariners org. I've been trying to track his progress as he has been playing pro since high school. It was a HUGE adjustment going from a HS kid dominating and having fun with his friends to having to train, go to meetings, practice, etc. as a job 24/7/365. The first two years were really rough but he seems to have settled in and is making his way up now. I am certainly proud of him however far he makes it, as having been a D3 college athlete I know how much time and effort (not to mention talent) it takes at that level, and that is barely a blip compared to any level of professional athletics.

I can relate to the “high level college ball = aaa” nonsense you hear.

Matt, a friend of mine once told me that AAA players pretty much can do all the same things MLB players can do - that the talent is pretty close to the same. The key difference, he said, was consistency. MLB players are more consistent and that's that main difference between AAA and MLB. Does that sound accurate to you?

Great post. I played 2 years in JUCO and one year in the SEC. The amount of dedication and time spent with 35 people was overbearing. I remember having to sign a document every week stating that we practiced for only 25 hours that week and thinking, 'yeah right'. People always say, 'oh man, baseball is just a bunch of grown men acting like boys. I would do anything to have their lives.' I chuckle. I played amateur baseball and I haven't experienced that type of grind in any other job i've been at. You have to be a certain type of person to make it work. And I don't think 90% of Americans would want the lifestyle. It's why I love the game and why I respect the hustle. I couldn't imagine the amount of pressure and daily grind there is in the minors/majors.

Quite a few years ago Fernando Valenzuela came to Little Rock to pitch against our AA team. This was after he was released from the Dodgers and he signed with a Texas League team. About 12,000 packed the small park to see him pitch. He pitched a two hiter shutout and I remarked to the guy next to me this is the difference between the minors and the majors.

Hey man, I'm so happy to have stumbled onto this channel. I've seen two videos and both were illuminating and super interesting. I only recently took an interest in baseball and have a ton of questions regarding pretty much every aspect of the game. I'm from Toronto, and the "Bat Flip" game was by far the the best baseball game I have ever seen. The atmosphere was electric. Needless to say, I became hooked. Looking forward to watching more vids.

@TheMadMariner 3 роки тому

Great video. Your love for the game and sense of humor really shows.

@unclestinky6388 6 років тому

Thanks for the video.

I really appreciate the insight on subjects like this. Thanks for posting.

Hey man, how would English speaking team members communicate/get along with the non-English speaking team members?

@ryangi5 5 років тому

Hey Alex, interesting point. I totally get where you’re coming from.

@jnorm0075 5 років тому

Love your vids. No one I can think of has broken things down so well for the fans. Thank you

From what I've seen in person high-A looked pretty good. Of course I saw a few players who were major league bound like Freddie Freeman, Lonnie Chisenhall, Steve Pearce etc. Saw another guy at Myrtle Beach high-A who had great power but a huge hole in his swing, struck out three times in the game I saw, he never made it. Looking at photos I took of the starting lineups it's revealing how few made it to the bigs. Very interesting video, you lived this.

@kosys5338 5 років тому

Man, I have to say, your insight into playing for the majors and the road to get there is pretty awesome. Another great video. Thanx.

@cedricgist7614 5 років тому

Thanks for your recollections of how talent improved as you progressed. I've known of guys getting promoted to MLB from Double A, so I figured that was the watershed line.

@jacquestaulard3088 4 роки тому

Fun to hear you talk with admiration on your peers. NO ONE really 'gets it' on how good you guys are at sport and then even players like YOU see guys who you imagine are from another planet or two
