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.
Hearing stories about his youth makes it seem like he was a good strong-minded kid who had a lot of hate thrown his way because people were jealous of his talent and work ethic. With all the crap and anger he faced just for being good all the way from travel ball to the MLB it makes sense he ended up a bit hot headed.
It's good to know because I am an Astros fan and despise him when they played in the series....and ever since then....he just looks like a prick .... Glad I was wrong
i love how mark appel knows that his career hasnt gone as planned, but just enjoyed playing baseball. i also like how the “bust” label doesnt bring him down, but actually embraces it and makes jokes about it.
Yeah it's gotta feel rough to be in that position. From being on top of the world to struggling and maybe not even making it into the big league. Having a bad attitude about it could destroy you for the rest of your life. I'm glad he was able to make peace with things and accept that even though he didn't make it to the top, he made it farther than most ever will and enjoy all he's done.
It’s crazy that Pedro could see Mize’s injury coming the way he did. He broke it down perfectly to the point you wonder why no one in the Detroit system saw it and made Mize adjust
What is scary, is Rutschman wasn't the only hit in that 2019 draft. The next round after selecting Adley, they grabbed ROTY Gunnar Henderson. Add Holiday to that mix, gonna be exciting.
Yeah I’d hope the Orioles would finally be good after having the number 1 pick almost every year for several decades. Holiday? lol this hasn’t aged well.
@@iAmWinterCoat Holiday will be fine. The jump from AAA to MLB is significant. As Ellias pointed out, due to a lot of pitching injuries the MLB quality starters in the minors are non existant. Adley, Gunnar, and even Cowser all started slow when they first came up, and look at them now. The Orioles have the luxury of waiting for Jackson to figure things out because the rest of the line up is on fire.
Jackson Holliday was funny enough not even considered the consensus number one. The orioles shocked a good amount of people by choosing him over druw jones
yeah that 2014 pick turned out to be just fine since that met the Astros came in 2015 with 2 top 5 picks (2nd for compensation and 5th for their 2014 record) and those picks turned into Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker
Just guessing(literally didn’t watch a single twins game last year) but is he like jeter where he just has no range? Seems realistic given the leg injury but I don’t know stats or anything
@@dukes1lv3r48 was probably his injury last year that hurt his stats i guess because if you eye test volpe and correa on the field correa is much better
Only just came across this channel, must say what a fantastic video, only really gotten into baseball the past 4 years as from the UK but quickly becoming a hardcore fan
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. ❤
Bauer's Cy Young year was literally the definition of a perfect storm for him. Since the covid season was shortened to 60 games, he only had to start 11 times. Those 11 starts came against two of the worst divisions in baseball, the one "good" team he played against was the braves. Which he lost...
The South Shore line just finished a big project that considerably improved the time it took to get from Chicago to South Bend. I'd love to see a video on that!
I’ll be honest I used to hate Harper too but these last few years I’ve actually grown to like him. Not too many guys that play with heart and passion like him who can also back up what they say about themselves
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.
I don’t follow baseball. I knew some of the names in the video but nothing really past that. But the way you told each of their stories, it was incredible. Hey I might need to start watching more baseball
How long have you been a fan? Did you ever play baseball at a high level? Did you play little league and not keep score? I want to know if you're a hard-core fan or someone who watches occasionally thinking everybody should get a trophy for trying.
Wow old school baseball is the best ever now it’s built for these millennial babies old school Starting pitchers pitched 9 innings no question pitchers commanded the plate catchers could block the home plate and runners could plow the catcher if in the base path now nope c da catchers not allowed to block the plate and now lol a clock on pitchers and batters get one timeout in the box lol joke oh and bases are bigger lol stolen bases are wayyyygy easier now plus the pitchers can’t high kick to the base lol a joke all for you millennial babies oh and but hey at least you get a trophie in little league for losing this generation is so weak cmon but hey you get a phone to look out all day and only go outside for 8 min a day (lol baseball now…………. 👉👩🍼👈👍👌👉🥉👍👉🏆👩🍼🤫😭😴🥱👎👎👎oh and teams are pushing there fences back lol cause they baby there bullpen pitchers because they don’t let there starting pitchers go deep into the game look at these mlb bullpens now what a joke lol weak yea ok kid old school was way better players were tougher and played real ball every game
Joe Kelly's face getting smashed by a baseball bat is the second best image in my head, just behind watching him interviewed in the White Sox locker room trying to sell his shitty book nobody wanted and realizing he is so garbage that he isn't even suiting up for the worst team in the league because he was so horrible a relief pitcher. 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
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.
I like Adley but most fear college hitter EVER? C’mon man. Pete Incaviglia hit .464 with 48 HR and 143 RBI. I know it was the 80s and the bats were different but still
Jackson Holliday looks like he’s one of the O’s players younger brothers yet will probably be one of the best players in that organization in a couple years
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.
That picture of Paul Skenes kills me everytime. It epitomizes someone that grew up in the rich area of south Orange County, down to the rich white gold digger girlfriend. Lol. The pic reminds me of Korvo in the 'Solar Opposites' when he gets trapped in the Stockiverse. "Ohhh button-downs! They're wearing the uniform of the coastal elite!" 🤣🤣🤣 I used to fix the elevators at the high schools down in south OC and you can tell the student parking from the staff parking by the Maseratis and Range Rovers in the student parking and Hondas and Kias in the staff.
You should do year by year videos one video per year reviewed of course. For every teams 1st round pick. Like 1 entire video for all the 2010 1st round picks. 1 video for all of 2011 1st round picks... etc etc
@@HippoBoy999 yeah but ringless lmfao. Wish he would’ve gotten one here. Trea won with us and they’re teammates now. Maybe he can teach Harp how to be a champion
I remember that espn cover. Honestly the best part of him is his hustle. Haven't seen any others go all out as he did in early career. It's great seeing the maturity now. Loves the big moments. Im rooting for him to win one.
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.
Yeah because that's all a person needs right? Just knowing. That means you could've hit that pitch too right? Anybody could right?... you're all so dillusional. I can tell you every pitch I'm gonna through and it'd make zero difference that you knew ahead of time, you still couldn't hit it. I love how everybody simplifies things and it all boils down to 'knowing' what pitch is coming. Why didn't he bat 1.000 that year? The truth is you are talking out your ass like every other sore loser...
Funny, Astros definitely cheated but so does every other team in Baseball. Oh don't forget the Patriots and that whole deflation scandal. But who's the GOAT in football? Tom Brady is still considered the GOAT? Oh wait, but the Supreme Court ruled the Patriots cheated and withheld information in the case.
Despite being 7 seasons removed from the Astros trashcan scandal, it still baffles me how it was handled by Rob Manfred. It would have been a distant memory if players were punished and the 2017 World Series had a huge * on it.
Manfred is easily the worst commissioner in sports. Dude is a grade A tool. Not only that scandal, the kid gloves he treated Ohtani with, and the way he let the owner of the A's treat Oakland fans.
@@seanmedvitz9056 Yankees looking good this year, Astros... not as much lol. Crazy cause Altuve and Yordan are batting .370 and .327 respectively. Just Abreu and Bregman are trash lol
@@seanmedvitz9056 who the fuck said Abreu was on the 2017 team? Lmao. Holy fuck you can’t read for shit. I’m an Astro’s fan dumb fuck. I was just giving props to the Yankees fan for actually saying something nice about the Astros. Yea, even 11 games in, Abreu batting .081 is bad. Bregman batting sub .250 is bad. Singleton batting .211 who is Abreu back up is bad. Chas batting sub .250 is bad. Tucker batting sub .250 is bad. The line up is legit being carried by Altuve, Pena, Diaz and Alvarez.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?? 🤔🤔
So sick of people still talking about Bauer's "controversy" as though his accuser hadn' made the entire thing up and wasn't trying to blackmail him. The MLB owes him an apology... and now you do to.
I know it's 3 months later but he actually doesn't swing the bat that hard. We can actually track average bat speed nowadays in Harper's it's just slightly above average. The person who swings the hardest in the MLB is Stanton
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

I mean he'll have a career in baseball eventually if he wants it as a coach or analyst or something. Love that attitude too.

It’s a distant memory for most people. Even Yankee fans (like myself) are over so it’s time for other fans to get over it
@@seanmedvitz9056 Yankees looking good this year, Astros... not as much lol.
Crazy cause Altuve and Yordan are batting .370 and .327 respectively.
Just Abreu and Bregman are trash lol
@@theflipper404 wow 11 games into the season definitely means they are shit😂😂. Also Abreu wasn’t even on the team when they were cheating🤦🏼♂️.
@@seanmedvitz9056 who the fuck said Abreu was on the 2017 team? Lmao. Holy fuck you can’t read for shit. I’m an Astro’s fan dumb fuck.
I was just giving props to the Yankees fan for actually saying something nice about the Astros.
Yea, even 11 games in, Abreu batting .081 is bad. Bregman batting sub .250 is bad. Singleton batting .211 who is Abreu back up is bad. Chas batting sub .250 is bad. Tucker batting sub .250 is bad. The line up is legit being carried by Altuve, Pena, Diaz and Alvarez.
What an amazing video ! Very in depth and beautiful story telling on every single player… great job brotha‼️👏🏼💯
Glad you enjoyed! We have more to come.
Bobby Whitt Jr is definitely the best player out of the 2019 draft class.
Wow that was an incredible video. Crazy respect for how much time and effort this must have taken
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.
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.
That’s me giving up a home run at 49:39 💀
Getting into baseball, first video of yours I come across, FANTASTIC content so so interesting and well done, will definitely watch more
Love hearing about rivalries and all the details on people awesome video!
Lol "prestigious old school baseball" in reference to hitting a player on purpose with a ball
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 you Chris!
you did my son some justice.
As a Phillies fan the first 6 minutes and 10 seconds of this video is so well done that I want to run through a brick wall
Great Video man! Loved how throughout you went through ❤
Thank you
This video was gold brother!
Thank you!
Crazy how Cole revived his career on the Astros.. actually interesting that most pitchers have crazy career years 😅
great video man
Appreciate it!
I saw adley rutschman play for the corvallis Knights, a summer league baseball team, and it's safe to say he was one of their best players
Greetings from Houston Texas, keep up the good work my friend.
Wow. How many breaks did the Asstros get. Nevermind.... Good Vid. Like to see the success stories
Nice video for us baseball nerds, you just gained a subscriber my man!
Thank you!
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
Ahh yes I remember when Bryce Harper turned into Paul scenes with livvy
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?? 🤔🤔
So sick of people still talking about Bauer's "controversy" as though his accuser hadn' made the entire thing up and wasn't trying to blackmail him. The MLB owes him an apology... and now you do to.
Great video and idea, keep up the good work
Love the fact that for the teams that were interested in harper spelled CHAPS.
Those artlist tracks go hard
Phenomenal work on the video! Subscribed
Such incredible content man, keep this shit up brotha!
Damn, drafting a pitcher high in the draft is so risky.
Did not plan to spend an hour watching this video but here I am at the end. Excellent video. Earned a subscriber from me.
Thank you!
Bryce Harper is not overrated. Everyone just hates his cockiness, and their just jealous cuz he is one of the greatest!
A third of this video is dedicated to Harper!!!. I love it
great video keep it up
For ruschman, O's 101 wins wasn't first in all of MLB...braves had more
Great video
Harper is the Jacob deGrom of hitting. He swings too hard and its gonna be hell on his body the next 7-8 seasons
I know it's 3 months later but he actually doesn't swing the bat that hard. We can actually track average bat speed nowadays in Harper's it's just slightly above average. The person who swings the hardest in the MLB is Stanton
It only took one video a you’ve got my sub
Love the draft video!
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!
This was excellent content and professionally presented. Consider me subbed and eager for the next one!
*EXCELLENT*
Video presentation. Amazing stuff
Thank you!
Great job on the video. There was a lot of time and effort AND research to make this video. Congratulations. Liked and subbed. 👍
Jackson Holliday makes his debut in the MLB with a grand slam over 400ft on to Eutaw Street! Beast!
This is an awesome video
