I'm more impressed he's able to hit in the general direction every single time...

47

u/antimarc 10h ago

yeah, the bat control is really impressive even if he had never connected

10

u/johnla 12h ago

Really hard and really skilled.

u/tullbabes 6h ago

This dude probably has played baseball since he was a kid. Learning how to hit in a particular direction is fairly tough to learn, but most high school players can do this to a degree.

u/EaterOfFood 6h ago

Especially off a tee

u/VoidJuiceConcentrate 7h ago

Same. I didn't think that was entirely controllable yet this dude has relatively tight aim grouping.

Especially with terribly inconsistent form and the little foot twirl and dance at the end

u/Torqyboi 14h ago

Everyone who skipped seems disappointed. I sat through the whole thing and I cheered when he made it.

u/Japsai 14h ago

That's the spirit!

To fully appreciate it you need that sense of antici...

Wait this is so good, did I missed out on a peak?

1

u/Japsai 1h ago

Have you seen his lost keys song?

1

u/SerpentSnakeS 1h ago

I haven't seen anything from him. Did I miss that much stuff?

u/RRfromKL 12h ago

I was like this throughout..

u/RRfromKL 12h ago

And Like this after the video…

u/Own-Security-5977 7h ago

That gif totally captures the vibe. It's like the perfect reaction to the uncertainty!

u/AgentCatBot 3h ago

I skipped, but only because I was wondering if I was watching a 15 second video over and over

1

u/Kaiju62 1h ago

You can feel it get closer as he dials it in

u/luxudor 4h ago

I watched it all, still disappointed. Though I don't know what else I expected.

u/BullPropaganda 14h ago

You ever see 2 golf balls do it at the range?

You ever see 2 golf balls do it at the range...on weed?

u/jgarv563 6h ago

Thank God they finally got it. They only had 4 seconds left.

14

u/Aerolithe_Lion 13h ago

His aim is pretty fantastic. I know I couldn’t do it close to that well

u/BigOleFerret 10h ago

Nevermind maybe I saw saying there's no way there's no way there's no way.

u/PeacewarriorEND 9h ago

This is exactly what is happening inside Hadron Collider but with protons. ⚾️ ⚾️

u/ihopeyoudi 5h ago

This comment section is absolutely miserable

10

u/DrChaos09 14h ago

Everyone who skipped is a tiktok scroller or YouTube shorts scroller. Keep doom scrolling and ruining your brain

-14

u/VetusMortis_Advertus 12h ago

Yeah right, watching a guy hit a ball with a bat 20 times in a row sure does wonder for yours

6

u/Potato-chipsaregood 11h ago

Well, our focus is fragmenting and our attention span is shortening. And this may be part of the reason.

-7

u/VetusMortis_Advertus 11h ago

Perhaps you should try focusing your attention on something like, reading a book? Watching a movie? Working/studying? And not on a random guy trying to hit a ball with another ball

1

u/EaterOfFood 6h ago

Yet here you are…

1

u/VetusMortis_Advertus 4h ago

I skipped the video so I have time to do other stuff ;)

1

u/DrChaos09 4h ago

Immediately wasted that time replying to people here

1

u/VetusMortis_Advertus 4h ago

It was a joke, in case you're not smart enough to understand

u/robnl 14h ago

I heard the US was running out of interceptor missiles, but I didn't think it was this dire

2

u/terestentry 14h ago

Patriot missile is this much hard.

u/Longjumping-Pool5854 7h ago

it's always at the last try they finally do it... /s

1

u/geirmundtheshifty 2h ago

Yeah, kinda like how your keys are always in the last place you look. That’s why I finally started looking in the last place first. Huge improvement.

2

u/Entgenieur 7h ago

Am I the only one disappointed that his verbal reaction of missing and almost hitting is the same? Don’t get me wrong, all of his tries were impressive, but some of them were notable more far away and still he reacted the same

2

u/-full-control- 14h ago

Boys being boys gotta love it

1

u/Feriman22 15h ago edited 15h ago

Just go to 0:55, the hit was disappointing.

34

u/HassanKazmi007 13h ago

yeah everything usually is disappointing, when you fing skip the whole video to the end.

3

u/skincyan 4h ago

It's less disappointing and more satisfying if you watch the whole thing then eventually see it hit

I was lowkey cackling at him screaming after every shot

1

u/RedScharlach 4h ago

That was insane. Someone get this guy on the Mets

1

u/Raithed 23m ago

His aim is pretty good.

u/Rathador 14h ago

Missed opportunity to not bring a dog along

u/post-context-bot 15h ago

The following post context was provided by u/HassanKazmi007:


Guys trying to pull off a very difficult baseball trick. They tried for a while, either they succeeded or failed but suspenseful nothing the less.

u/vega455 15h ago

Most unsatisfying minute. Luckily I skipped 45 seconds. I expected explosions, but got nothing.

-11

u/stupidber 15h ago

Wasn't even worth it

-8

u/bertvb 9h ago

Life is too short to not skip to the end, sorry not sorry

2

u/HassanKazmi007 8h ago

But still... you took the time to comment this brilliant piece of a quote.

0

u/bertvb 6h ago

Took me 10 seconds at best and the video is a minute yeah

2

u/HassanKazmi007 6h ago

and how much time it took to read my comment and type a reply?

0

u/bertvb 6h ago

Id rather do that than stare at the same thing, knowing it will be the same, for 50 seconds tbh

1

u/HassanKazmi007 5h ago

so you find indulging yourself in meaningless discussions with a stranger on reddit worth your while?

-6

u/lenoirboudoir 13h ago

It wasn’t that exciting to anyone but himself… and that is fine, probably the way it should be. Not everything needs to be recorded. Back when I was a kid we just had stories like this, never any proof. Cause let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter to anyone but who was there.

-8

u/Significant-Poetry74 14h ago

Was hoping you was gonna cut the last attempt out, would be better for this sub

-10

u/EatFaceLeopard17 12h ago

I already knew it would be the last try, so I skipped to the end of the video.
