Get This man to the all star game
Unless things go really poorly very quickly, he’ll make it as a starter. There are only two great NL outfielders this year, Profar and Yelich
@@teddy_scott36And tatis
There aren’t many other NL outfielders to choose from
think he has that in the bag
@@teddy_scott36 Tatis is heating up.
Not gonna lie- if he can turn this around and become our best player consistently, this needs to be another sports movie
If the Padres win this year I think it would need to be a sports movie
@@imoorzy oh most definitely. If the Padres won the WS and he gets MVP it ABSOLUTELY would be a movie.
He’s a liability defensively. It’s not even a discussion 😂 MVP? You’re must be joking
@@patbruno3049Wah wah wah
@@patbruno3049 there have been many MVPs who were horrible defensively. For example, last year Acuña had a -2 DRS in right field. Average is 15 to 20.
What’s crazy about his return to the Padres last year is that he helped the Padres make a late playoff push in a lost season where a bunch of guys were already shut down
Profar's story reminds me of Geno Smith in the NFL. Written off for years as a bust but finally put it all together and playing up to their potential. Good on them. Gotta love the underdogs.
they tried to write him off.. he ain't write back tho
On a team that's stuck in the mud
Much like Geno Smith, Profar is not actually particularly good just because he's having a good stretch.
As a life long Hawks fan I love Geno❤ I don't know much about his earlier career so I'll check it out 👍
It's more like Jared Goff, I think. Goff had some success early, but by the time of the trade was considered a throw in and kinda washed. And he was 1-1, which is the parallel. Geno was drafted in the second round, he was never considered the best prospect in his sport
Profar is your favorite Padre’s favorite Padre. And according to some stats I found, he leads all of baseball in Weighted Runs Created by Smiling Plus.
He's so likeable
And that just made me smile :)
“I didn’t do it before. But right now I am. I’m this player man. I am.” That is so cold and inspirational it almost makes me shed a tear. What a journey for this man, never loved him because he killssss the Dodgers but I love how he plays. And now I know why, he’s playing to prove himself right.
It made me feel fuzzy inside to hear him say that. I'm proud of him.
taking ten years to prove yourself is never going to be impressive at all.
As a rangers fan, I’m so happy to see him balling out, he was the first prospect I ever learned about, my dad told me about him and I have wanted him to succeed desperately since then.
In 2012 or 2013, I went to a game to watch the Frisco Roughriders, the Texas Rangers' AA team. I saw lots of players go through that team to the majors. Elvis Andrus, Matt Harrison, Joey Gallo, Nomar Mazara, and many more. I don't remember any of them anywhere near as vividly as Jurickson Profar, he was on a level above all of them. The athleticism, the reflexes, the strength, he was such a well-rounded and complete player then. The trading of Ian Kinsler to the Tigers for Prince Fielder was, in part, inspired by just how sure the Rangers were that Profar would replace Kinsler at second base. It saddened me that he struggled so much, and struggled to stay healthy. I was really happy when he blossomed into a quality everyday player in 2018, but then immediately saddened by him leaving. Then San Diego. Seeing him find a place with the Padres and blossom into his true potential has been great to watch, and I hope he continues to play well. He's a player I've been rooting for since he was a rookie, and it's great that he's starting to match his elite potential.
I ain’t reading all that
Profar gave us the legendary shush meme. Etched in history forever
Shoutout Profar man. I remember when him and curaçao lost a tight one to a very strong hawaii team in the llws. Knew he had that dawg in him. Him and Jonathon schoop. I’m getting old
This is truly impressive stuff he’s really come out of nowhere
You've quickly become my favorite MLB channel. Great videos. Keep em coming.
Is this The Simpsons Theme if it was instead a 90’s sports highlight show? 😂
crtl+F just to see if I wasn't the only one who heard the Simpsons theme in that
Fax my mind went right to hit and run with Lisa’s level
All that and he has the best smile in baseball, no doubt! Love the channel Jolly
I remember when he left the Padres in 2023, and I was so bummed. Dude’s a solid player.
Rewatching this after nats game 2 holyyyy I love this man. He throw far, he run far, he hit far, he Profar
That’s quote from him at the end is amazing
im not even joking as a kid when he was. w texas i used to love profar. im genuinely happy hes finally hitting that ceiling that everyone thought he would
I'd love to see Profar and Tatis in the ASG together
I always smile when someone mentions Odor clocking Bautista.
I remember watching him on the rangers when he first came up always liked him
I’ve been a fan of his since his first year in San Diego. I’m so happy for him now
Scooped this cat up in fantasy early in the year, dude has been absolutely lights out!!!
Amazing video. Enjoyed it.
11:30 that's pretty good? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's freaking INSANE. 👊
As a lifelong Rangers fan, Jurickson was our guy man. Will never forget that debut in Cleveland, so happy to see him become the player we always thought he would be. Great vid, Jolly!
Power of friendship is undefeated
Hell yeah bro. never seen your channel, but I appreciate all the hard work you put into this video. Profar is on fire!!! And we all love him in SD. I'm surprised you didn't include the Will Smith incident. I hope Profar doesn't regress like you said, most people are saying he was gonna regress a long time ago and he has still be raking. He had a home run today I think. and now Tatis is heating up, so hopefully if Arreaz can keep doing what he is doing and Machado, Xander, Yu and Musgrove can get healthy we will be sweeping teams. LFGSDPadres!!!!!! BTW have you done a feature like this on Arreaz or Merrill? I see you are a NY fan so i'm guessing your focus is NY.
That will smith comment is gonna be the reason he pushes it to MVP calibre
I’m not shocked at all. Dudes a stud when he plays everyday. He’s been one of my favorite Padres since he got here in 2020. For some reason they’d rather start Pham over him early on. He is who he should be. Also notice the Padres started winning again when he came back from the Rockies.
I feel like one of the biggest things about the San Diego Padres as a team is that they always seem to have good vibes in the clubhouse, at least so far this decade. Probably helps the players to have a little bit more fun and helps mitigate some of the stress that comes from being a professional baseball player.
I always love your videos Jolly, but one thing I never see appreciated in the comments is your use of music from Pokemon games in your videos. It's a nice touch when I'm enjoying a video of yours, and then suddenly my ears perk up from the sound of an old friend, a bastion of my childhood. Keep up the awesome work.
This was an incredibly fun one, and I did not know about the middle part of his career.
A clothing company called "Under 5'10"" is deeply funny to me
Great video
Let’s go new Jolly video
Mr Jolly. I am 2 weeks late but I appreciate you using the Simpsons hit n run soundtrack for the background 😂😂😂
We in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 will never forget Profar trying to cheer up his Netherlands teammates after hitting a single during the 2017 WBC, only to be caught returning to first base by a Yadier Molina throw to T.J. Rivera. 🤣😂😆⚾
Jolly Olive using Simpsons Hit and Run music in the background is forever goated 😂
Seen this happen before w a guy like Justin smoak. I’m gonna enjoy this while it lasts because I don’t think it’s gonna last any more than two season
Yeah unfortunately at his age, even if this new found success is legit, he’s gonna come back down to earth
Jurickson Profar's rise to stardom this season has been really fun to watch 🔥
the Pokémon music makes this video A+++++++
MR. VAR HIMSELF!
WE LOVE PROFAR HERE IN SAN DIEGO! LETS GO KIM, LETS GO PROFAR.
Leading the league in VAR 😎
As a life long Rangers fan, this video both angers me and fills me with joy. I’m a sucker for a sports redemption story and I wish nothing but the best for Profar. I didn’t even know he was still in the league until the 2022 playoffs.
Damn what a story. Can’t wait to see how the season ends for him.
Edit: also I had no idea that was him in the LLWS I remember that year!
Heart and soul VAR leader
While it’s great to see him playing well, the .357 BABIP is too concerning for me. Even though we are in June, regression to the mean could still happen
True. However, even if he regressed to something like .290 or even .285 by the end of the season, that would still be a significant improvement. It's also worth noting that his EV, SO%, BB%, Hard Hit%, and Line Drive% rank among the best, if not the best, of his entire career. So perhaps a significant portion of this improvement is organic.
@@nicholastricarico2957 very true. If you took away 10 of his hits he would have a .302 BABIP (which is basically average) leaving him with a .280 BA and .820 OPS which is still very good
his peripherals are up, his performance really isnt heavily carried by his babip. I also wouldnt consider .357 a massive outlier, based on everything else its more like a 150 OPS+ hitter getting slightly lucky than a 100 OPS+ hitter getting a ton of babip luck.
He's been batting well below .300 BABIP before this season so maybe he's finally getting lucky this season. Plus, he's hitting the ball harder than ever before so that might also be a factor.
@@benwaters8486 @Acquirebread you are both right, .357 isn't too too out there though it is still high, but he has been hitting the ball really well. And that is why even if he dips back down to an average BABIP his OPS would stay above .800 (which would result in an OPS+ around 130-140) and a BA around .280. He has been playing well this season and deserves praise for it
I think I've always rooted for this guy just because his name is so cool.
He’s been insane this year
This is a great analysis on how Profar finally clicked it together. However, being a Padres fan, I can’t help but think that someway somehow Preller will screw this up next year, and not give this guy what he’s worth. I’m really curious to see what contract he earns. Easily 3-years/ $30 million I think? He needs to prove that this isn’t a one-hit-wonder though. Even if he continues on hovering just below a .300 BA per season, that’s still what we’re expecting from players like Machado and Tatís, and shouldn’t be understated.
He still swung
He actually started playing well as a Rocky. I watched most of their games last year and thought he was one of our best players. No idea why we released him
Still gives me a cramp thinking of 2014 for the Rangers, glad he's finally putting it together and staying on the field.
As a die hard Rangers fan this hurts me but always makes me happy, Profar was definitely one of my favorite players from our farm
I loved Profar when he was below average bc of his attitude. Happy for him and hope the dres pay him next year
The Padres aren't the ones paying Arraez's contract though. It was part of the trade deal where they basically pay him league minimum and Miami pays the rest. SD is only on the hook for like $590K this year
I laughed hard at the totally real footage of rolling in bed. Great stuff!
Even at his worst, SD fans always liked him.
And that’s the problem with SD fans.
@@JumboJuneau Loyalty lol. What a problem to have.
So glad to see this happen to such a likable guy
Whos here after he got a grand slam?
I believed in Profar so bad when he was coming up with Texas 😭
Okay
Yes, yessss. This is the sicko content I crave.
VAR Leader. Vibes above replacement.
Saw the video and clicked and then got surprised when I didn’t hear storms voice
God I love that Power Pros music
I love that your a Mets fan 😭
Love me Profar 🎉
10 years later LMFAOOOOOOOOO
This man just wants to play the Game, overcoming the adversity and having the kind of talent that gets GM's attention. I've not heard his name before and Profar has my vote. ❤
Profar just hit a HR against my Dbacks as im watching this video
one man & one man only? yea idk about all that. we just gonna act like arraez ain’t getting on base 20 times a game that’s crazy
Never forget him getting picked off in the WBC. He was never the same after.
Profar was can't miss and then his stick tumbled. I have loved his attitude everytime he has been a Padres. Hope his year continues to be torrid.
get this man to Texas to start the all star game
As someone with epilepsy and fcked up shoulders because of it (multiple torn ligaments, broke same bone 3 times), reinjuring it in your sleep is super easy
especially if you are spooning with a baddie
Even with the earlier rosters this year he's been the best player in my padres franchise
I keep saying that Tatis Sr. NEEDS to be a hitting coach in the MLB. I am baffled that key players like Profar, Tatis Jr and Acuna Jr have come out saying they work with him to fix their swings and put up monster numbers and they refuse to hire this man. I keep hoping my Padres wake up and realize that but they continue to sleep on him and I have no idea why.
Mr. Irrelevant is Mr. Relevant
Sorry I only shop at over 7’5
Remember when that dodger guy called him “irrelevant” 😂
As a dodgers fan i hate him but im definitely voting for him to make the Allstar game! Also he's been my fantasy hero this year lol
Jolly how did Alex Vesia go from good in 22 to bad in 23 back to elite in 24?
I’ve never hated being 5’ 11” more. 1” from being 6’. 1” too tall to use the promo site🤦♂️
Bro why did Profar look like Jose Leclerc when he was young? 😂😂😂 I can’t be the only one seeing this
4:35 in fairness, I’ll never blame a pitcher for trying to avoid surgery as long as possible. The less you’re cut on, the better
He’s running a .361 BABIP
Profar for MVP
who's here after nationals walk-off ground roll double?
This is so much cooler after Will Smith tried to clown him early in the season. I’m rooting for Profar so much.
The curaçao demon
lol i remember before the season, all the so called analysts were doubting the Pads because of their OF depth, now they’ll have 2 all star starter OF
I like when you keep the bits shorter. I like your bits, I feel we share a similar sense of humor, but sometimes they run a bit long
He found Tatis’ stash
😂😂😂 right⁉️
I get the narrative or whatever but Tatis is 18th in mlb with 2.4 fwar (Profar is 10th with 2.8) and has the 7th best xwoba in the league. It’s definitely not Profar and nobody else. If anything given their justification for signing Profar to improve chemistry this just makes him and the organization look even better.
You been shopping at Target?
What magical baseball substance are they feeding their kids in curaçao?
No shout out to Will Smith for calling him irrelevant before he started going off? That's my favorite part
I get the feeling that remark is gonna haunt him all season
Talk about the return of the Kansas City Royals
Punching the wall right now 😠
