Tom Erwin Well sir, If I get to make the rules as which it seems, They can watch, but not comment, Unless of course it is spelt correctly. That's certainly fair enough.
I used to do my own version of wiffle ball with a ping-pong ball with a piece of tape stuck on it. I would pitch the entire length of my living room against the drapes. I could throw a cut fastball, split finger, curve, change-up, 3/4 slider, and a knuckle-ball. I was the Greg Maddux of my living room
Can you imagine having a child, raising him for 18 years, caring for him, nurturing him, loving him, only to watch him become a fucking professional wiffle ball player?
+Mike Dilullo Wiffle ball is as arbitrary as throwing a ball into hoop/holes/over a line, running in circles, or many other sports. Getting paid for a playing game...sign me up.
+Mike Dilullo Enlighten us all, what have you done in your life that makes you better than professional wiffle ball players? Can you imagine having a child, raising him, caring for him, nurturing him, loving him, only to watch him spend his time on UA-cam pretending he's better than everyone else and making really really shitty videos thinking he'll make a living off of it?
lol I know right. acting tough when the camera points to him and thinks it's impressive. bet he can't pitch that good with a baseball and he would get rocked
Even if you gave MLB hitters practice and time to adjust they most likely wouldn't do well since that is the nature of the sport, way more pitcher dominated than the MLB.
I've seen footage of him in games where he can make it dance like that and consistently hit the target enough to keep batters honest. I think he was just being a dick here and not caring knowing that the batter would have to swing regardless.
Tammy Fay What does anime have to do with anything??? If you are referring to my profile picture it is actually an image by the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein called "Girl with Hair Ribbon"
This is as impressive as sock ball: I roll my socks together into a ball and throw it at am MLB player, pretty sure he can never hit a home run off me; meanwhile I just chew some gum pretending I own the world.
lol the pitcher was cocky but that cockiness would disappear pretty quickly if they put a regulation baseball in his hand. Loney who is not the end all be all like they made him out to be still made contact once he got a more realistic sized bat.
Having a whiffle ball player hit off a major leaguer pitcher seems pretty silly to me. MLB players are the best in the world at swinging a bat at a moving object and I think everyone except cricket fans would agree with me. Of course a whiffle ball player isn't gonna be as good a hitter as an MLB batter. Otherwise he'd have a contract in the league.
Aaron Hardel Oh, you mean the equivalent of 0.000057 percent of the US population? Or like 0.0000028 percent of the world's population? Yeah, so many people, bro.
Al Burbank neither are kids sports specifically. Baseball and basketball evolved over the years into something of a mans game. Wiffle ball was made literally for kids as an outdoor bbq game.
kimberly deabreu Sadly I have... Grab the coconut. Or African handball. Jk not racist but that and soccer are the 2 girliest sports out there. And Relly why did you tag me when you just agreed with me? I said wiffleball is a kids sport not baseball. Mike said baseball.
Al Burbank people like you are what ruin the sport community, i see your profile pic is hockey but i could also say its a girly sport but if you played you know it takes practice and alot of dedication. So does soccer, basketball, baseball or any sport. Every pro practices their ass off to get where they are. I would like to see you step to that plate and hit the ball. You've got to admit. It takes practice no matter what it is, i bet if i even tried to play hockey i would bust my ass on the ice and you'd show me how its done. Respect other peoples sport even if you dont play them or like them
No shit it's harder to hit. If a baseball had holes in it, it would be just as hard to hit too. This guy taking a backyard bbq game seriously is hilarious though.
Wiffleball Pitcher: 75 mph = 110 ft/s. Take 42 ft divided by 110 ft/s = 0.382 second reaction time for batter. MLB Pitcher (Aroldis Chapman): 106 mph = 155.5 ft/s. Take 60.5 ft divided by 155.5 ft/s = 0.389 second reaction time for batter. Add in the unpredictability of a wiffleball's trajectory (as judged by the human eye) to make hitting the wiffleball A LOT harder than a 105 mph fastball that doesn't break all too much.
It would be blast to go to one of his whiffle games! All three fans and his parents would be guaranteed fowl balls and a great show as grown men play with a toy found in little tykes toy sets!
This video showcases two different kinds of athletes: the overconfident buffoon who thinks he's cool, and the player who knows what he can do but doesn't need to prove it.
Pretty cocky for a guy that lives in a basement and works part time at a local gas stations making $20,000 a year as compared to a guy that makes double that everyday.
it's much harder to throw a baseball (hardball) riser,curve slurve screwball, sinker, slider, knuckle ball etc that's solid than a wiffle ball that does most the work that hollow and full of holes.. what's the hardest part with both is mastering pinpoint control with every type of pitch
I've faced some good pitchers in games and especially in practice... I've also faced my 4-10 year old cousins in the backyard... let's just say I'm very thankful the statisticians of the backyard league haven't passed long division yet so my batting average is still a mystery.
Girl: So what do you do for a living? Him: Well I throw a plastic ball at a square target while someone tries to hit it with a 1 inch thick bat so I can feel better about myself.
The difference between this is that players in MLB would dominate in the wiffle ball leagues because they get extremely good at flowing the breaks. He is used to hitting one thing so naturally it's going to be harder in the transition. Once he has swung even a somewhat decent amount he would be crushing at bats.
It's science, when you swing the bat the pressure in front of the ball will cause the wiffleball to move away from the bat. Duke college did a study about it . It's old news. Only a wiffle ball is light enough to do it, not a baseball.
Nothing like the intimidating stare of the wiffle ball pitcher.
Sure did shivered my timbers🥶
The whiffle ball pitcher is so serious, it's sad😂😂
Lmao! Facts!
If u cant even spell wiffle why are you even watching this ?
+SnoopMCgoop auto correct
+SnoopMCgoop apparently you need to know how to spell "wiffle ball" to watch a wiffle ball related video?
Tom Erwin Well sir, If I get to make the rules as which it seems, They can watch, but not comment, Unless of course it is spelt correctly. That's certainly fair enough.
If you win the professional whiffle ball championship do you get a free happy meal
😂
Lmfao
The pitcher trying to look badass while holding a wiffle ball made me laugh
Dylan Ferguson lol
No it's too expensive
"yeah baby, you can't hang"
rofl
I think that "Cy Young award" has gone to his head
😂
Like bro, it’s a fucking plastic ball that kinda moves more then a baseball. Your not cool
He was obviously joking...
@@mateo551 Lol the producers probably fed him that line.
I remember when people said rofl
"Yeah baby, you can't hang..." *plays wiffle ball*.....
*Viewers proceed to consume lethal amounts of bleach out of sheer cringe....*
Thank God someone said that, lol. That little midget is irritating as fuck.
He was definitely told to say that. That's how TV works. Create drama. I should know, I've cut shows that do that shit.
OC0227 *rides off on tricycle*
Nabre Labre DUDE ARE YOU AN ORIOLES FAN? THE ORIOLES ARE MY FAVORITE BASEBALL TEAM! :D
You know it! Lets go O's!
Lol that wiffleball pitcher so wanted to be a professional mlb pitcher but failed you can just tell.
y
+13Gangland sorry, I meant to say yeah he does..
You need to quit saying stuff like that!
No wonder that guy couldn't hit it. Did you see his eyes. How high is he good lord
Ikr lmao
Get away dragons
glad to know i wasnt the only one thinking that
+evan carruth it always comes down to drugs in sports remember!
Scrolled too far for this.

I love wiffle ball. That's my childhood.
This shrimp acting all hard cause he can make a plastic ball wobble. Someone sign this guy.
lol I know right. acting tough when the camera points to him and thinks it's impressive. bet he can't pitch that good with a baseball and he would get rocked
Joshua Shackett stfu you can’t hit it
These r the rejects that didn't make it in major league so they made their own special little sport
code word "special"
101rst like xd
An unfair contest since the mlb guy is unfamiliar with the wiffle ball pitches and what they can do. Apples and oranges. Same with cricket.
I'd like to see the wiffle ball pitcher throw a real baseball against the hitter. well see who can hang lol.
Even if you gave MLB hitters practice and time to adjust they most likely wouldn't do well since that is the nature of the sport, way more pitcher dominated than the MLB.
Cricket is gay af
So from what i'm seeing is don't swing at his pitches.
yup lol the majority of those pitches are balls.
I've seen footage of him in games where he can make it dance like that and consistently hit the target enough to keep batters honest. I think he was just being a dick here and not caring knowing that the batter would have to swing regardless.
I had no idea they had wiffleball leagues for adults. It sounds really silly.
It is loads of fun. Now go read some anime.
Tammy Fay how do you read anime?
GameGuru2004 She plays wiffle ball....did you expect her to be smart? Wiffle ball is for those who can't hack it in baseball.
***** Or who like to have fun. Yknow, whatever
Tammy Fay
What does anime have to do with anything??? If you are referring to my profile picture it is actually an image by the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein called "Girl with Hair Ribbon"
This is as impressive as sock ball: I roll my socks together into a ball and throw it at am MLB player, pretty sure he can never hit a home run off me; meanwhile I just chew some gum pretending I own the world.
now bring in the best wiffleball hitter against a major league pitcher and see how he does
Thats what i wanna see
*****
yes
Using the wiffleball bat
2 things I'd like to see the wiffle ball pitcher hit an mlb pitcher. The pitcher is talking to much trash
lol the pitcher was cocky but that cockiness would disappear pretty quickly if they put a regulation baseball in his hand. Loney who is not the end all be all like they made him out to be still made contact once he got a more realistic sized bat.
ThatkidAlex yes they do

I love how tough he acts. It almost looks like he doesn't play a sport with a plastic baseball.
The bad ass look at the camera, haha. Yeah, you're good, but it's whiffleball.
elvis316 I like your picture
elvis316 I know he is acting so cool but he's playing a kid's game
elvis316 I
cody colter baseball is a kids game too lmao
tim slastname not really lmao
"Perfect games in wiffle ball may not sound that impressive..." You're right, it doesn't.
Wiffleball is for those who can't make it in baseball.
which is everyone basically
Unless your in the 20,000 people play baseball
Some times my friends and I play wiffle ball, in case we don't have enough for a real ball game or if we wanna play in our yard
Aaron Hardel Oh, you mean the equivalent of 0.000057 percent of the US population? Or like 0.0000028 percent of the world's population? Yeah, so many people, bro.
Throwing no hitters and perfect games might not sound impressive in whiffle ball, because its not
This is the equivalent of being a professional kickball player lmao
LMFAO ROFL I don't know how anyone never replied to this comment lol
The guy who never mad the bigs 😂😂😂
that guy was WAY too cocky for being hella good at wiffle ball hahhah
How can you be proud of yourself for being good at a kids sport?
Uhhh....baseball is a kids sport too
No basketball is.
Al Burbank neither are kids sports specifically. Baseball and basketball evolved over the years into something of a mans game. Wiffle ball was made literally for kids as an outdoor bbq game.

If the hitters leave the pitch, a lot aren't in the zone
He thinks he has so much skill😂lets see a wiggle ball player try to hit a 90 mph fastball
Yeah I know right
Haha wiggle ball, I like that name
This guy thinks he's so badass lmao
He is a BOSS at WIFFLEBALL
Chimi changa Hence the Wiffleball
And it's the ball doing all the work.
Matthew Pelletier
he is a douche of whiffleball
GhostSpectre but Joel is scuffing it
No shit it's harder to hit. If a baseball had holes in it, it would be just as hard to hit too. This guy taking a backyard bbq game seriously is hilarious though.
And as i read this 8 years later, the American Cornhole League(sponsored by Johnsonville sausage) just came back from commercial on ESPN, shits crazy
I'd like to see sports science actually pick people that we have heard of instead of bench baseball and football or whatever sport it is players
Wiffleball Pitcher: 75 mph = 110 ft/s. Take 42 ft divided by 110 ft/s = 0.382 second reaction time for batter.
MLB Pitcher (Aroldis Chapman): 106 mph = 155.5 ft/s. Take 60.5 ft divided by 155.5 ft/s = 0.389 second reaction time for batter.
Add in the unpredictability of a wiffleball's trajectory (as judged by the human eye) to make hitting the wiffleball A LOT harder than a 105 mph fastball that doesn't break all too much.
how bout u let that pitcher try to hit an mlb pitch
lol
Tony Gwynn would have hit it with a drinking straw.
Tony gwynn would have hit it with a strand of hair from a gnats ass.
How are they raging moron
Best comment fropm 2 years ago.
So what I got from this is that if you just don't swing you walk every time
You cant strut out acting all tough and then be like "yeah! thats right! i play wiffleball, you want some?"
he keeps talking crap but who's getting payed millions???
Chase Crane money doesn’t really matter it matters about how you play
A more interesting comparison would be the bank accounts of the 2 guys. Something tells me Loney might have a significant advantage.
There are a lot of haters in the comments, but guys, this is impressive. Seriously, he is making that ball do some serious
All it takes is a few hand motions and you can do that. It's not that hard lmfao...
i've had wiffleballs for like a week and i can make it do that easy, it's really not that hard
I luv how he's said " is lost count how many perfect games I've thrown like who r u omfg
wtf he takes wiffleball so seriously
These wiffle ball pitches are just so insane!
Looks fun but I doubt I could hit one.
Poor Loney. This fucked his whole career, glad he's doing alright now
I've lost count of the perfect game pitches I've done... that's the douchiest thing I've ever heard
Wiffleball is 1/3 the weight of a baseball? I'm pretty sure if I hold three wiffleballs, it does not equate to one baseball
1 pitch with a bigger bat> "ok, you can hang"
It would be blast to go to one of his whiffle games! All three fans and his parents would be guaranteed fowl balls and a great show as grown men play with a toy found in little tykes toy sets!
This guy never pitched in our backyard in the 70's and 80'😜
“Dad, I want to be a professional whiffleball play when I grow up”. *Goes up for adoption*
This video showcases two different kinds of athletes: the overconfident buffoon who thinks he's cool, and the player who knows what he can do but doesn't need to prove it.
What an original idea (and by that I mean this was a chapter in Todd Gallagher's book a few years ago).
Pretty cocky for a guy that lives in a basement and works part time at a local gas stations making $20,000 a year as compared to a guy that makes double that everyday.
You've got a chance to talk trash to a professional and back it up. I can't blame the guy.
Your life sucks man I feel sorry for you ..... :'''(
Lol double? More like 20x
Makes about $40,000 a game
Matt Petrosky He makes 2 million a year. xD
0:19 that sound is so satisfying
"you can't hang"
Funny since he obviously wasn't a good enough baseball player.
Neat experiment. The wiffle guy was just having fun they both were.
I'm a professional wiffle ball player, a pitcher....but I deliver for papa johns to
Wiffle ball vs baseball is like airsoft vs military, one is a imitation of the other one.
They said the best of the best,. James Loney walked out, laughed my ass off!
Once I brought a huge bag to a whiffle ball game. It was like taking a nuke to a spatula fight.
"To introduce you to the hardcore world of competitive wiffle..." LOL
This pitcher is the same kid you made fun of for being a hardcore tryhard in middle school
it's much harder to throw a baseball (hardball) riser,curve slurve screwball, sinker, slider, knuckle ball etc that's solid than a wiffle ball that does most the work that hollow and full of holes.. what's the hardest part with both is mastering pinpoint control with every type of pitch
I love how the voice says THE HARDCORE WORLD OF WIFFLEBALL WTF BRO REALLY!!!! HARDCORE
Don't know why everyone's so triggered by the wiffle ball pitcher. He's clearly just joking around and having fun.
He's also a champion badminton player. Now that's a bad ass.
This was the cringiest, most staged piece of garbage I've ever seen.
5:36 that swing XD
I love how this “pitcher” thinks he’s a god but... it’s wiffle ball. Thats what little kids play in their backyard for fun
"I've lost count of how many no hitters and perfect games I've had". Jesus.
"The hardcore world of wiffle ball" it was at this moment I knew I was in for a treat
The pitcher swears he is impressive. Its a ball that is meant to fucking move around.
He hit that thing perfectly 👌
5:45 Can't believe they got The Rock to pitch for them
that turbulence they speak of is the magnus effect
God wiffleball use to be a child's backyard game dang
He reminds me of the "fastest speed-walker in 9th grade" type lol
"yea baby, you cant hang."
still lives in his moms basement.
Lmao the pitcher was talking shit till he got rocked hahaha then it looked like we wanted to cry
poor bastard probably wanted to play in the majors so badly but settled for a backyard sport...
We did it like this, we did it like that, we did it with a wiffle ball bat - beastie boys
6:32 that man is blazed out of his mind hahaha.
“Yah baby! You can’t hang!” Cue h3 cough
You know its old when they compare it to "Cy Young Award Winner Jake Peavy"
I've faced some good pitchers in games and especially in practice... I've also faced my 4-10 year old cousins in the backyard... let's just say I'm very thankful the statisticians of the backyard league haven't passed long division yet so my batting average is still a mystery.
never heard of wiffleball until now. looks like a fun game
No fair! He's pitching overhand! Mooom!
Exhibit A of why Sports Science died a quick death............
Girl: So what do you do for a living?
Him: Well I throw a plastic ball at a square target while someone tries to hit it with a 1 inch thick bat so I can feel better about myself.
Damn, people are taking the pitchers jokes to heart. It's a shame people can't handle a little jab
Don't make a slugger go against him. Make a contact hitter go against him.
CyberSf Yeaaa Joe Panik or Altuve
Baseball pitches are harder to throw to get 3 inches to 1 and a half foot of break. Wiffle is easier to throw but puts more stress on the arm
The difference between this is that players in MLB would dominate in the wiffle ball leagues because they get extremely good at flowing the breaks. He is used to hitting one thing so naturally it's going to be harder in the transition. Once he has swung even a somewhat decent amount he would be crushing at bats.
wow! You can curve a ball with dozens of holes in it, amazing.
I am 100% sure that we used to play wiffleball in the like 1st and 2nd grade for recess and PE lmao.
lmao introducing that guy like I was suppose to know him or something lmao
They give Loney a stick at first so the pitcher doesn't feel like complete shit by hitting all the balls first try. lmao
At first he was talkin crap at the end after the guy hit it , it was suddenly an honor
It's science, when you swing the bat the pressure in front of the ball will cause the wiffleball to move away from the bat. Duke college did a study about it . It's old news. Only a wiffle ball is light enough to do it, not a baseball.
