  • How do you react when all the cards are stacked against you?
    Growing up, Justin Dunn was always undersized and overlooked as a ball player. Through pure determination to achieve his dream of competing in the majors, along with the unparalleled support from his family, he was able to overcome the numerous obstacles that many said he couldn’t hurdle.
    This is the story of Justin Dunn, and his inspiring journey to the big leagues.

    I really appreciate hearing from Justin's family. They all radiate kindness and intelligence. I wish the Mets had never traded Justin in what will go down as one of the dumbest trades in baseball history. I'm still a Mets fan despite their criminal, arrogant owners, but I wish Justin all the best in his career going forward. #LFGM

      @@FunWithMemesFunWithMemes cano was good this year and I wrote this comment before canos suspension. He had a great 2020, but we all know where that came from... Edwin Diaz was good for you guys besides the beginning of the year, and Dunn was kinda irrelevant, so it was essentially Edwin for Kelenic, which is slanted in Seattle’s favor, but not horrible like the Chris archer trade

    I wonder if he knows... there is a write up on baseball prospects, and Seattle's GM was talking about this kid they got down in the minors, that is learning how to shape his pitches to the point he can do anything he wants. He was talking about Justin Dunn. The article was on the advancements of technology teams are using to teach pitchers how to pitch and not just throw. They have all the cameras and angles and sensors to get max spin rate, to create shape on different types of curves, repetition on delivery, how to create different breaks at different angles. How to scout hitters --the whole 9. This kid is ready to learn at the MLB level.
