Your vids make me realize how hard it gets at the MLB level
8 position players
x30 teams
240 position players
25 players on a team
-11 on the pitching staff
14 position and back up
x30 teams
420 position and back up players
How many little league leagues are there? We got the kids in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, Japan, Taiwan, Cuba. Jeez, it’d take a miracle for any one kid to make it to the minor leagues.
TheY2AProblem And South Korea!
yup!!! Thanks for watching!
TheY2AProblem Yet those "miracles" happen for 1,000s of players, every year.
Its damn near impossible...
"Quite frankly has not been very good with the bat..."
Ouch. :(
Haha doesn't hurt my feelings. Thank for watching and commenting!!
No matter what anyone says they can never take away that you were a professional baseball player and you hit a home run. It's a dream a lot of us had playing out in little league or in high school and you actually got to suit up and hit the field.
That is an amazing feat that you'll always have.
@Jay Ocq LOL
Hard to get your feelings hurt when your wife is always roasting you
@@AntonelliBaseball Haha. Thank you for posting and replying.
meanwhile Zack Hample has the ball, and he's not willing to trade
Haha! Thanks for watching our videos!
Big Bones Billy wait does he actually have the ball??
Gurvir Chohan no, it’s a joke.
Have you seen this website retrosheet.org, it has every major league game listed and most of the play by play results. Also every player with their stats and career best games etc. an amazing amount of info
@@jojobar5877 nm
Color guy threw you under the bus at the end! What’s up w that?!
As soon as I heard him say "and quite frankly" I knew it wasn't going to be pretty.
I was thinking the same.. Scully would have said something like this is a moment he'll remember..
Rockies guys are so biased its crazy. Im a Giants fan so i hear it sometimes and theyre annoying.
Thats what I like about krukow and kuiper, they keep it classy for both teams
Away team...
Matt! Most of us can only dream about taking an at bat in the mayors, you got to hit a friking HR! My respect!
Thanks!!! I appreciate you watching our stuff!!
I had 9 dingers.
@@dicklong6117 with a name like that I dont think so
Exactly: "Only" MLB HR ? You've gone where 99.9% of us never will traverse.
And yet, you always hear about people will declare a regular starter to be "garbage." NFL fans are much more notorious for that. But you hear that from fans of all sports. Always makes me roll my eyes anytime I hear a fat couch potato call someone in the NFL, MLB, NBA, or NHL "garbage."
Not many people can say "Unfortunately this is my only Major League homerun."
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!!
But he can say " unfortunately now I do UA-cam videos to try and make a buck off the public instead"
@@joeydoink-doink742 shut the fuck up you spoiled brat
@@joeydoink-doink742 The don't watch. Clown.
Truth hurts doesn't it? Boo hoooooo anybody who talks in the third person, is a fuckin clown. Remember that. You think he gives a shit about you? Only your money. These washed up losers are doing it for money. Did I play ball? No. Do I make more money than this joke? Yes. Do I have to beg the public to pay me? No. Who is the little bitch now?
I might have one of your AA San Antonio Home Runs somewhere. I used to sit out on the left field berm every game.
Rip Missions being the padres affiliate 😂
Cheap Angler Fishing that’s dope
Cheap Angler did you find it?
That's one more than I'll ever hit! Congrats on your big league big knock!
haha thanks!
Was the best moment of his career. He went 2-4 that day on September 15, 2008. He raised his average to .235; his OBP to .333, and his OPS to .686. Those numbers would never be that high again. But i think i can speak for a lot of people when i say i would trade almost all of my life to have one day in my life like he had on Sept 15, 2008.
More than most of us probably will ever have
probably? I think that's a safe bet!
Unspherdcomb6 i have 763
just go to Coors and you'll get one.
I love that you added probably. Lmao
You plan on getting off your couch and joining a big league team soon?
The one dislike was from jason hirsh
Who also, depressingly enough, had a short troubled career.
Haha!
@@coolguy02536 Jason Hirsh was tough though. He won a game pitching with a broken leg. He was hit in the leg early in the game. Afterwards they found out his leg was broken.
Congratulations, Matt! That's one more home run than almost everybody.🐯
Dude what youve done is more than anyone could ever dream. Congrats on making it to the show!
Dude..as a lifelong baseball fan, I love your channel. Love hearing about MLB from someone who wasn't a superstar.
I’m not even a huge baseball guy but I love these videos! You’re one of the most interactive professional athletes there is!
BoomerG21 dude me either. I live in Australia and never played. But somehow I've watched every video he makes hahahah
It looked like you were 7 for 31 because that averages out to a .225 BA. you said that you were getting closer to 250 so that’s my guess. Great video as always Matt, hope you find your ball😀😂😂
Sounds about right!!! Thanks for watching!
Chris Davis went 0 for 30 and he’s getting paid millions. What a superstar !
It’s 7 for 81
Okay lol that’s like a 0.0081 batting average. What are you talking about specifically?
that would've .086 avg. Also from Wikipedia Antonelli was called up to the Padres on September 1, 2008, where he promptly laced a single off Greg Maddux of the Dodgers for his first hit in the major leagues. He then went hitless in his next 20 at bats, but then got 7 hits in his next 13 at-bats with 3 walks, including his first home run, on September 15, off of Colorado Rockies pitcher Jason Hirsh. He was unable to earn another big league promotion with the club and granted free agency at the end of the 2010 season.
Matt I just started following you about 3 weeks ago. I’ve probably watched around 30 videos. You are the shit!!!
Absolutely humble , and I honestly have my 12 year old step son watching a lot of your videos. Thank you for all the inspiration.
Wow, you finished only 761 short of Bonds.
And yet 1more cleaner than Barry Bonds
@@Arnnnnn funny quip but Barry was clean in Pittsburgh
But he did iy without the sauzool, so its more impressive.
Great to watch. Sweet swing. I’ll tell you something else, Matt: you are a great baseball teacher, and everyone in your comments says so, and they are right. Knowing how to break down something complicated so people can learn it well takes a special kind of intellect that many people don’t possess. Thanks for all you do for baseball - players and fans alike. I don’t usually subscribe to anything, but I will now.
Of course it's in coors field
Minnesota sports fan I was thinking the same thing😂
How many home runs have you ever hit? How many home runs have you ever hit at the major league level? Shut the fuck up bro and get off his channel if you're gonna talk shit!
Reliablethreat I'm not talking shit
Reliablethreat chill he’s not talking shit lol
Reliablethreat You mad?
SO what....You still put a great swing on it and did what you were supposed to do...BE proud..It's a good story for future family....Thanks for all your posts...Very informative and fun..Thank You Matt...............Denny
You have a talent for keeping us normies feeling "in the loop" on a really deep subculture. Love hearing you comment on your time in the MLB!
Thanks a bunch!!! Thanks for watching!
1:35 that man just roasted his life
Haha game is easy when you aren't playing. Thanks for watching our videos and commenting!!!
For many casual fans around me (myself included) who don’t follow minor leagues as much, I have to admit we often smile at stats like this (e.g.: one-homer career).
HOWEVER, we shall remind ourselves that we could fit in a small AA stadium all humans (7947 in totals) that have ever hit at least one regular-season homer in The Show.
Everything is relative. Good for you Matt!!
Cool stat!!! Thanks for watching our videos!
So cool to see a big league hitter who has hit a home run in the Major Leagues talking about his home run and his tenure in the big leagues with humble attitude on youtube!
That's awesome, Matt! Even with that little smirk on the way back to the dugout, you did a much better job maintaining your cool than I would have. Hell, if I hit an MLB home run, I spend the next 10 minutes doing back flips across the infield with my pants around my ankles... :)
Haha! Thanks for watching!
I hope that one day you get that ball back. I know you didn't have a long time career in the bigs, but to say you got there is an accomplishment. A bonus is doing something most kids dream of growing up. Hitting a homer in the Major League. :)
I've been looking for this hit I could never find it
Trey Mancini - Are you the real Trey Mancini ?
Lavar Ball just leave me be
Trey Mancini - lol sorry man but if it is the real you I just want to say I’m a big fan !!!!!!!
Lavar Ball Are you the real LaVar Ball? No so if you actually believe that the real Trey Mancini was in the comments your a fucking idiot
Matt Deemer - oh I’m sorry I’m only 12 :|
I love that Matt talks about it. I need to find a pitcher who does the same. It's not easy and it hurts to play sometimes.
I saw your HR ball on Craigslist. The seller was willing to part with it for a bag of marbles and an ice cream samich. Jk Brother! Hope You one day find your ball bud.
how much do mlb baseballs cost I usually have a couple of used baseballs around from play it again sports at $1 and 1 or 2 from Walmart $2....a box of ice cream sandwiches are usually in the $4 range
He will never find it at this point
Bob S I know very sad because it’s a big achievement
John Mack It is a big personal achievement when you’ll never hit another one...pretty sure if you hit one you’d want it too
I know that’s why it’s sad he won’t get it
When it comes to honest, self-depreciating analysis of one's major league professional career, and the ups/downs, humor and reality . . . there's Jim Brosnan of the Reds, Bouton of course, Dave Meggysey of the football Cardinals, and Matt Antonelli.
Thanks!
That blows you never got the ball because someone maybe lost it.
But many people dream of hitting a home run in the MLB. Very nice hit!
The guy who caught it was an absolute asshole for wanting to trade for the ball. If he hadn't made it all about himself, Matt would have gotten his ball.
It's all on him.
Paul Lebel True but Matt did eventually get the ball than the padres sent it to have it professionally done and he never got it back. So I blame the padres and whoever does that shit for mlb more. Like how do you lose the ball?!!?!?!?!
That's a quick swing dude! I only recently discovered this page. I really like it.
Home runs are great but how many Fortnite dubs, Matt?
Gus10271 248 dubs in fortnite boi. 3 home runs
I have 69 dubs lol
only 9 solo for me :( and no hrs lol i suck at everything
Royals fan nice
RIP
Clay Hensley bats for trade...absolutely unused
Your HR ball has been enshrined in the BP ball bag
haha i doubt that but def had to go somewhere.
Some bullpen catcher found it to go warm up the reliever lol
Hey man, nice knock. Your leg kick in the batters box reminds me of a young Alex Rodriguiz or Derek Bell. Please continue to do more of these videos, this is great coming from a life long baseball fan in Texas.
Yo! thanks for giving such great insights from your playing days. it is beyond dope you made it AND hit a home run. I was a pretty solid ball player in high school, (not saying I would've got drafted) But I got clocked in the high 70's as a sophomore but crapped it all away and never gave it my all so I never will know, stinks til this day....Glad you made it man.
That's really awesome your teammates helped you trade for your first dinger!
Love how real you are man. This channel is VERY unique
Thank you!!! Thanks for watching our videos and commenting!
Thanks for the shout out Matt! Glad the video worked for you!
Thanks!!!
You might have only hit one, but.....YOU HIT AN MLB HOMERUN!!!! You realize how cool that is? Awesome!!!
Hitting only one single homerun in the MLB. There's something to be said about that being cooler than hitting 500 of them.
I'm a Rockies fan and it's pretty awesome you hit that at Coors field!
Congrats, you can proudly tell a story that so many of us wished we could tell!😎
Congrats Mike. You have fulfilled every little boy's dream. Wish I had a big league HR. Something tells me that I know that you appreciate it. Sorry on the loss of the baseball...
Im glad you posted this because i asked about it on one of your other videos. thanks.
GREAT! Congratulations! You should be very proud!
You got a homer off of big 6’ 8” Jason Hirsh who now works for the Rockies TV crew 😮 😮 and just over Matt Holliday in left field at Coors Field good work my friend. I hope you get that home run ball.
Thanks a bunch!!! Thanks for watching!
...think I'll crank one of the fence at Coor's field, today!?
Yes!!! Thanks for watching our videos and for commenting!!!
What a great moment
Anyway a better question maybe video worthy but not really does hitting in Colorado or any high elevated place do you see a huge difference of pressure ( or whatever) than at other stadiums
Yes I did see a difference. It helps that the field is really big so there is just a lot of ground for the outfielders to have to cover. Thanks for watching!
Wish i could say that I hit a home run in general but to hit on in the MLB? WOW So much respect
That's something to be proud of! You have more MLB home runs than nearly everyone watching your channel, including me.
Rewatching this and I've realized commentators do you dirty man!
Sucks about the ball MIA, but nice dinger. Had to be one hell of a feeling
Thanks a bunch!!! Thanks for watching!
At least you can say you hit a home run in the big leagues. Congratulations man. That's damn cool!
Thanks I appreciate it!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Someone has this ball. Let's find it for Matt!
Ya!!!! Thanks for watching!
Those jerseys with those gold pants were a perfect combination as a Padres uniform!
Great shot! Although, I was kinda hoping your teammates gave you the silent treatment. That shit cracks me up every time.
Gone forever Aaron Hernandez
Your videos very well may be the GOAT of UA-cam
Thanks a bunch!! Thanks for watching!
Be honest you watched this 100,483 times and I don’t blame you!!
Of course at Coors Field
Never change your swing. Your swing is what got you to the majors
D Pete, is that you??
Wow; the crack of that bat, and the "oh-h-h" from the crowd when they realize that thing is still going ! Yeah ! Unh ! (fist pump) Went *yard* on those boys !
“Hasn’t been doing very good with the bat”
oof
People who can't do something themselves will bring down the others trying their best.
Very cool! You accomplished something a lot of us will never get to. Cool moment
Thank you Chris!! Thank you for watching our stuff and commenting!
wow a single hr and that ball was lost. still better than 99.999 % of population
Jason Hirsh has his own academy called FAST - foundational arm strength training. it would be cool if you two would do a video together and talk about your home run and careers
Ill ask him!!!
+ do it
Dont know why MLB didnt just grab another ball sign it and give it to you. I mean use a scuffed one sure. But i mean would anyone notice the difference? lol Sucks they lost the ball.
Haha I wouldn't have noticed lol. Thanks for watching!
I feel like if you had been in the Padres system around 2015-2016, you would’ve had more chances to play and would’ve had a longer leash. Bummed you didn’t get another chance after your stint in 2008. Nice homer tho! Thanks for sharing
That's pretty damn cool man
Thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching!
Wall scraper but I'm so jealous of anyone who has ever played in the show. Congrats my man
I went through every game you played up until you hit the hr: 7-31 until you hit it with your best game being on 9/11/08 when you went 3-4 against the Giants.
Thanks!!!! Thanks for watching!
love the videos , you got me back into watching baseball
It looks like all you guys are wearing khaki pants
Haha it does! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Antonelli Baseball you couldn’t be more humble or easy to like, best wishes to a good guy
Awesome. You'll be showing that to your grand kids!
Haha thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
Better ONE than NONE Matt... Love your channel, keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching!
I have a game used pair of those cool yellowish pants, (Along with a couple jerseys ) in my collection.
Never realized you went to Wake Forest. Right down the road from me.
Only one home run but you jacked it!
Nice video!!!
I did some research, Matt. The 7 hits you had were after 31 at bats
Well you should be proud of it Matt. that's more than 99% of us could ever achieve in professional sports
Thanks Sean!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
When the announcer said you haven't been very good with the bat, I thought 'That's kind of rude'. Sometimes the truth stings a bit, but you just hit a HR and were working on your mechanics so it's understandable you struggled a little. I'll bet it felt real good to hit that and see some progress with the change in the swing, though. Love the videos and I hope the ball finds it way back to you someday.
Dude... You are so interesting to listen to. The game needs players like you.
Thanks so much!!! Thanks for watching!
Great swing Matt! Coors Field? I wish you could have hit it all the way to Red Rock.
Paul O'Neil used a leg kick and it worked for him. Congrats on making it. It is a dream to be the "worst" mlb player, still one of the best in the world...lol
Glad you got one. Congrats. I enjoy your vids.
Matt, how does it feel to know you were a first round bust? Not trying to be rude, but I think it's pretty accurate. How does that feel, seriously?
What do you think of the new padres uniforms? I loved the ones they wore when you were with the team. Really beachy. Tan was neat. Sharp!
Was highschool more important or travel for you
Richard O travel is always more important
The Boy more scouts are at high school games than travel tourneys
Robert Plant not true depends on the high school you go to and the type of tourneys you go to for travel ball
high school, i played on top travel ball teams in the US, without highschool it’ll be hard to get picked up
I bet that home run at that moment was the greatest feeling ever
Definitely was!! Thanks for watching our vids and commenting!
I gotta ask about Khalil Greene, he seemed like a real cool guy. What was he like? Always a favorite of mine, and he just up and disappeared. Kind of broke my heart.
Coming into the game you were 6-30 (.200 avg) with 1 double, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored and 4 strike outs and 2 walks. You had an infield single in the 2nd inning to get to 7-31 (.226 avg). Your HR in the 3rd inning put you at 8-32 (.250). Ground out to 3rd in 5th, walk in 7th, and strikeout in the 8th left your avg at 8-34 (.235 avg) to end the game. Unfortunately, that 14 inning game against the Nationals 3 days later and going 1 for 8 was an avg killer.
Yup I remember that one!
"And quite frankly hasn't been very good" OUCH. LMAO. nice contact on that swing. Deadass !!
Awesome!
Can you do a video about corked bats?
I can try! Thanks for watching!
Way to go your not a bust and don’t let anyone tell you that you are!
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching our vids and commenting!
Sure looks like that guy reached over the wall.
Haha it was close. Thanks for watching!
Nice poke, Matt.
Thanks Bradley!!
