- Jos Buttler is cricketing royalty. England captain, a World Cup winner and IPL superstar, there’s no doubt he can swing a cricket bat. But how about a baseball bat?
Philadelphia Phillies legend Chase Utley put him through his paces in the batting cage and behind the plate as he swapped sports for the day in London.

All jokes aside this guys could be a good baseball player had he grown up in the US. He hit 90 off the machine with awful mechanics. Love the vid. Chase is the goat
I think cricket players will have real good batting averages in baseball. Like the idea is try to hit any ball which is in the zone. I think their is a lot of talent in cricketing countries if scouts are sent.
'with awful mechanics...'
Is there a actual technique involved in swinging the bat, do guys actually try to maneuver the ball in open space gap or they just try to belt the ball out of the park...
@@tarakvaakil8553 nobody that’s good at baseball try’s to hit the ball out of the park. Homeruns are accidents.
He is one of those people with excellent hand-eye coordination.
@@snowyfragrant6029but in general he means are you aiming for the ball to land in a certain zone on the field or in the stands or do you strictly aim for the ball with as much power you can possibly muster and hope it goes high?
With our American friends in mind. Batting whether cricket or baseball starts with hand/eye co-ordination and Jos as an England cricketer has that A++. Next the ball comes through the air - three basic pitches fast, slow, curved. This is straightforward to deal with compared to cricket where most balls hit the ground first and the batsman has a very short time frame to decide how to deal with it. Bowl a full toss in cricket to a player of Jos' ability and it will get the treatment. Where baseball is harder is its a round rather than straight face to the bat and the baseball bat has less diameter. I think with a little time English cricketers would master the bat differences as they have the basic skills already there. Jos showed that I think.
Only the wicker keeper has gloves in cricket - all other players catch the ball with their bare hands. This makes catching the baseball easier than catching the cricket ball as Jos found out. Again - he already has A++ ball catching skills in place, the baseball mitt made it easier.
Each game has its own skills and strategies. Most Brits see baseball as rounders - but there is much more to it than that. Cricket, especially 5 day test match cricket, for me is the more interesting game bearing in mind the variances in cricket pitch/wicket, the different types of bowling - pace, medium, swing, spin and the variances in the way the ball can be bowled. And the subtleties in field placements. Though understood its an alien concept to many Americans - particularly the 60 or so different fielding positions and many of which have whacko names. Cow Corner, Silly Mid On and Backward Point for example?
You can see that his instinct is to use his wrists and arms to ‘place’ the ball rather than trying to hit it out the park. Cricket is 99% timing and placement, his muscle memory was too ingrained.
this video is brilliant, love to see jos being finally credited for how good he is, they could’ve taken any big hitting cricketer to film this but the one man who stands out was taken, double world cup winning jos the boss, love to see it ❤️🏴
Joss is such a good bloke
I loved playing cricket and rounders at school. If baseball had been offered, I would have enjoyed that, too. I also loved basketball. However, at only 5’ 3” I didn’t have much to offer! Same with volleyball. I never got on with hockey, but really enjoyed watching it.
I wasn't aware that the sport of baseball was originally founded here in the UK. So how did other British sports like soccer/football, rugby & cricket become popular globally but not baseball ? 🤔🇬🇧⚾⚽🏉🏏
@@tudormiller887Cricket and baseball are both mainly regional sports. They are played in many countries, but major in only some.
I've been to a couple of MLB matches in the States and it's basically the Girl's game of Rounders but with a bigger bat.
Mets fans were hoping the pitcher hit Chase! 😂
Go Phils! ❤️⚾️
Jos the boss❤
When he hit the 90 the screen said pitch speed 45💀💀💀 1:02
that could be bad editing, probably a different clip was added in by mistake, ..Few days ago from today, he was smashing 90+ mph cricket balls (heavier and much harder than Baseball's) at a 360 degree field at Eden-Gardens with a flat cricket bat.
Judging from what I have seen of cricket, the first one he missed that said 90 did look around 90 mph.
Jos the boss Buttler ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love him
Can't wait to watch the Cubs vs Cardinals game in the MLB London Series next month. Go Cubs! 🇬🇧⚾
Phillies v Mets
That was last year.
when are we getting the other video then. where the baseball player takes on cricket
There is one. Look up Francisco Lindor plays cricket in Australia
Man with that uppercut swing he would be a perfect fit in today's MLB. 300 strikeouts on pitches right down the middle. Tony Gwynn is rolling in his grave.
Thats natural in cricket
@@Tu_Padre31 I know, I was making fun of modern day baseball.
Rounders.
That should have been longer
Reverse the roles and the baseball player would have no chance.
Well to be fair, baseball originated in Britain, and baseball itsel descended from cricket also invented in Britain. Irs kind of funny to watch an American school a Brit on this sport.
It came from rounders,that was also sometimes called baseball in England.They should’ve had a rounders player!
how so? Cricket is a separate sport with completely different mechanics, it's to be expected to be schooled. Like a baseball player trying cricket.
Most if not all batsmen in Cricket could play baseball, same can't be said for baseball players trying to play cricket
Not even remotely true
The American guy should try his hand at cricket 🏏
British kids grow out of baseball when they stop playing rounders.
now swap it around... dont see mlb players playing cricket
Babe Ruth tried it and apparently he shattered the bat lol
@@JonnyMaxximum Source; trust me Yank
Lindor tried, ...in the end, Rob Key had the machine bowl (pitch) him at 10 mph primary school standard stuff, But the Korean cricket team has some ex-baseball players, and their coach says they have found some familiarity.
It’s a promo for MLB games played in London. When the Cricket World Cup is played in the States ( or T20) then we’ll see that.
@@JonnyMaxximumcap
It's very interesting how different the applications are. Baseball is really focused on direction and the strike zone is smaller with a smaller round bat.
It's like someone perfecting the omelet. Striving to get it right every time bringing all the elements together.
Cricket on the other hand is more the short order cook meeting the needs of each request and dealing with much more variety in choice.
Shot selection, being able to hit in any direction makes for alot of options to try and meet demands all in a short span of time.
Batters are masters of getting their swing just right, fine tuning and waiting for their pitch. Batsmen make alot of choices and have to play the variety.
Neither is 'better' as both are designed towards the sport they are used in.
Cricket players are all arms when they swing. They don't use their lower body at all
Wicket protection
Not true. Playing baseball it would look like that because the ball has a small window, but in a cricket game they adjust their lower body all the time because the ball can bounce up at any height, length, direction and speed.
Sounds like you haven't watched that much cricket.
Maybe when swinging a baseball bat. But in Cricket footwork is very important. So much so that you can move almost a metre to hit the ball
In England the girl play rounders,, a type of baseball,, and the men play cricket
Rounders isn't baseball. They are two completely separate things. Baseball is played in Britain. There is a GB national team.
@@cricketexplained8526I’m sure there is a team, there’s a team for everything. I don’t think even 1% of the GB population care for it play baseball.
@@cricketexplained8526 The GB team, that played in the world championships, consisted of Americans with British grannies.
@@bonjouritsready Nothing to do with the point I was making.
@@cricketexplained8526 Technically yes, but technically no too! Rounders and Baseball are just two names that refer to the same game, depending on where you were in the UK, you might call the game Rounders in one area, go 10min down the road and they'd be calling it Baseball, or elsewhere they might call it something different, but the rules are pretty much the same!
Both names for the game were coined here in the UK, as yes, we created the game (circa 1300s), it was introduced into the British colony of Canada in the 1770s, became popular, then duly trickled down into the rest of the Americas, where some minor modifications were made to it into the modern game we associate with America!
You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket.
No.

"A jose Canseco bat?!"
@@Tu_Padre31Tell me you didn't pay money for this?
W first
Would love to see the roles reversed.
American sports are our sports for women. American football=girls rugby, baseball is rounders, Ice hockey is girls hockey. Pretty lame. No wonder there is no passion.
