Opening Day is right around the corner, so I figured I'd drop a video the length of an Adam McKay comedy about everything you need to know about Major League Baseball, starting at the top with an in-depth explanation on what a hit is, all the way to explaining vertical bat/attack angle.

Correction(s): The "Swing Revolution" should actually be labeled as the "Launch Angle Revolution"

    Glad I can now tell my chronically online friends that they finally have someone to relate to in baseball in Hideki Matsui
  • 1:10:47 don’t walk it back brother, full send. Jeter was a subpar defender, in almost every measurable stat. He was, however, heinously clutch when it mattered and that is something that modern stats cannot conveyy
  • I look forward to Mecha-Ted Williams being the AL MVP of the 2164 season
  • @northstarjakobs
    A similar situation to the one of Andrew Toles happened with Satchel Paige after he had retired from baseball, where he got signed to a contract where he wasn't expected to ever take the field, just so he could get enough playing time to qualify for his pension.
  • @austin5645
    25:30 That was not the last triple play, the Angels turned one on 8/19/2023 in the top of the 9th inning against the Rays
  • @1rwjwith
    You didn’t mention the most unique trait about Rickey Henderson. In the modern era , post 1900 he is the ONLY POSITION PLAYER WHO THREW LEFT AND BATTED ONLY RIGHT HANDED WHO IS IN THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME. There are plenty of HOF PITCHERS who throw left and bat right ( Koufax, Randy Johnson) but Henderson is the only position player…
  • Thank you for randomly including TJ Friedl. One of my favorite players as a reds fan and super underrated. Great video as always!
  • @kingamity1985
    Andrew Toles just made me bawl my eyes out i had no idea. Im so proud of him for making it in spite of everything
  • @CrashPK77
    Coolest/weirdest batting stance: Rod Carew. So weird, but so effective. Honorable mention: Wade Boggs. The bat never stopped moving.
  • @sabremarky15
    I'm upset that they don't call the end of season WAR leader the "WAR Lord"
  • We might disagree about some of these takes but man, Ive never seen a more in-depth baseball video. Well done.
  • XWOBACON is a legitimate attempt by someone with a math degree to quantify potential and it’s hilarious. Potential is great but if someone is striking out 40% of the time it doesnt make a fuck
  • 21:00 - I agree that there’s no real definition to a Dynasty, but most people agree you need at least 3 rings and usually were the favorite for the years you didn’t win. I’m a Giants fan, people call our 3 rings in 5 years a “Dynasty”. But we missed the playoffs the other years, and were never the favorites. The 90’s Yankees were most definitely a power house dynasty. In basketball, the Warriors. In football, the Chiefs vomit and obviously the Patriots before them. So the Astros are one WS away from being a legit “dynasty”
  • Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter have been added, only Monty and Garver have left and we should have deGrom back this year. I cannot overstate how important the two young rookies will be on this season!
  • @katieg2449
    Something very soothing about someone explaining what a home run is oddly enough
  • @intune252
    I always wanted to wait to watch the og iceberg video with mhy friends to educate them but this being uploaded made me realize that's sadly never happening lol. 90 minutes of nmf got me feelin different
  • 100% should not walk back on Derek Jeter's defense. Even if "unreliable", DR points to him being the worst Shortstop by a VERY large margin. He should have either swapped with Arod at third, or switched to left field.
  • @ThePhl4ever
    I was never an Astros fan, but growing up I loved the Jeff Bagwell batting stance and would emulate his stance.
