Tom Erwin Well sir, If I get to make the rules as which it seems, They can watch, but not comment, Unless of course it is spelt correctly. That's certainly fair enough.
I used to do my own version of wiffle ball with a ping-pong ball with a piece of tape stuck on it. I would pitch the entire length of my living room against the drapes. I could throw a cut fastball, split finger, curve, change-up, 3/4 slider, and a knuckle-ball. I was the Greg Maddux of my living room
Can you imagine having a child, raising him for 18 years, caring for him, nurturing him, loving him, only to watch him become a fucking professional wiffle ball player?
+Mike Dilullo Wiffle ball is as arbitrary as throwing a ball into hoop/holes/over a line, running in circles, or many other sports. Getting paid for a playing game...sign me up.
+Mike Dilullo Enlighten us all, what have you done in your life that makes you better than professional wiffle ball players? Can you imagine having a child, raising him, caring for him, nurturing him, loving him, only to watch him spend his time on RUclips pretending he's better than everyone else and making really really shitty videos thinking he'll make a living off of it?
lol I know right. acting tough when the camera points to him and thinks it's impressive. bet he can't pitch that good with a baseball and he would get rocked
Very few can make it do that and consistently get it in, or close enough to, the strike zone to get swings or looking strikes. Fast pitch wiffle ball actually requires a good bit of skill on the pitcher's part. I mean, it's not baseball but it's not something anyone can do without a lot of practice.
possumverde I think the point he was making was that this turns the game into a pitcher duel in every game at a truly competitive level. This makes it very boring I would imagine.
Tammy Fay What does anime have to do with anything??? If you are referring to my profile picture it is actually an image by the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein called "Girl with Hair Ribbon"
This is as impressive as sock ball: I roll my socks together into a ball and throw it at am MLB player, pretty sure he can never hit a home run off me; meanwhile I just chew some gum pretending I own the world.
Even if you gave MLB hitters practice and time to adjust they most likely wouldn't do well since that is the nature of the sport, way more pitcher dominated than the MLB.
lol the pitcher was cocky but that cockiness would disappear pretty quickly if they put a regulation baseball in his hand. Loney who is not the end all be all like they made him out to be still made contact once he got a more realistic sized bat.
Having a whiffle ball player hit off a major leaguer pitcher seems pretty silly to me. MLB players are the best in the world at swinging a bat at a moving object and I think everyone except cricket fans would agree with me. Of course a whiffle ball player isn't gonna be as good a hitter as an MLB batter. Otherwise he'd have a contract in the league.
I've seen footage of him in games where he can make it dance like that and consistently hit the target enough to keep batters honest. I think he was just being a dick here and not caring knowing that the batter would have to swing regardless.
4:02 "yeah baby cant hang" sounds like that guy in highschool who sucked at sports but then found one that he was better then average at then he just gets hella cocky
Al Burbank neither are kids sports specifically. Baseball and basketball evolved over the years into something of a mans game. Wiffle ball was made literally for kids as an outdoor bbq game.
kimberly deabreu Sadly I have... Grab the coconut. Or African handball. Jk not racist but that and soccer are the 2 girliest sports out there. And Relly why did you tag me when you just agreed with me? I said wiffleball is a kids sport not baseball. Mike said baseball.
Al Burbank people like you are what ruin the sport community, i see your profile pic is hockey but i could also say its a girly sport but if you played you know it takes practice and alot of dedication. So does soccer, basketball, baseball or any sport. Every pro practices their ass off to get where they are. I would like to see you step to that plate and hit the ball. You've got to admit. It takes practice no matter what it is, i bet if i even tried to play hockey i would bust my ass on the ice and you'd show me how its done. Respect other peoples sport even if you dont play them or like them
A wiffleball is obviously much harder to hit, but to throw... not at all. Basically it's just release point and arm strength. You don't need to flick your wrist or anything. I haven't pitched a wiffleball in a couple months, but I throw at least 8 to 10 different pitches, and they're all easy to pick up on given maybe a half hour of practice with each.
new drinking game: whenever sports science does a cringy montage of 2 sec clips of an action moment or guest introduction with them awkwardly standing there you drink
Wiffleball Pitcher: 75 mph = 110 ft/s. Take 42 ft divided by 110 ft/s = 0.382 second reaction time for batter. MLB Pitcher (Aroldis Chapman): 106 mph = 155.5 ft/s. Take 60.5 ft divided by 155.5 ft/s = 0.389 second reaction time for batter. Add in the unpredictability of a wiffleball's trajectory (as judged by the human eye) to make hitting the wiffleball A LOT harder than a 105 mph fastball that doesn't break all too much.
No shit it's harder to hit. If a baseball had holes in it, it would be just as hard to hit too. This guy taking a backyard bbq game seriously is hilarious though.
Aaron Hardel Oh, you mean the equivalent of 0.000057 percent of the US population? Or like 0.0000028 percent of the world's population? Yeah, so many people, bro.
I invented a WhiileBall pitch that I haven't seen anyone else use. I put the holes on the ball on the bottom and throw it side arm style and it rises and slows as it approaches the plate if you wait on it you can hit it but it takes practice to be patient enough to wait for it. Most of the time the batter strikes out! After watching this pitcher he does throw that pitch and Loney couldn't hit it either!
I think anyone who throws a wiffleball wide open will throw like this guy. I mean, what a douche to think he's so bad ass. I mean, if the sport doesn't even have a catcher, that says enough right there. If a catcher can't catch them, how do they expect a hitter to hit them?
Endorsement, most likely. And, authenticity. And, TV shows only show a small percentage of overall footage. You can't just assume everything is first take
It would be blast to go to one of his whiffle games! All three fans and his parents would be guaranteed fowl balls and a great show as grown men play with a toy found in little tykes toy sets!
This video showcases two different kinds of athletes: the overconfident buffoon who thinks he's cool, and the player who knows what he can do but doesn't need to prove it.
Nothing like the intimidating stare of the wiffle ball pitcher.
Sure did shivered my timbers🥶
"Yeah baby, you can't hang..." *plays wiffle ball*.....

WiffleBall shouldn't be able to call their pitching award the Cy Young Award. It's ridiculous.
When did Cy Young ever throw a wiffle ball?
Did they even exist back then?

Just like a kid playing bad ass for getting a good score in guitar hero.

I'm gonna be that guy and say that it's a piece of cow hide

James Loney was hella stoned, that's why he couldn't hit it.

Seriously, that doesn't mean you're high. I have bad allergies in spring and summer, and my eyes get way worse than that.
Lmfaoooo I literally scrolled down thru to comments to see you who say this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too bad they didn't get a good MLB player to actually do this. Also, too bad they didn't have wiffelball batters go up against a pitcher like Kershaw.
But they did this was when lonely was on fire and was average over 300 idiot
At this time that this took place Loney had the fifth best batting Average in The MLB
I do agree though that Kershaw would strike out every wiffelball batter known to man
+nymetswinws HEH clayton sucks butt, they should have gotten bumgarner up there.
Not even a Giants fan can say that, c'mon. Kershaw is the best pitcher in the game and will be one of the best ever when his career is over.
i also heard he can spin a mean paper airplane
And also you can't even through a ball 2 inches
Wiffleball is meant to be played slow pitch. Anyone can make it curve that much if you throw it the same velocity as a baseball...
Very few can make it do that and consistently get it in, or close enough to, the strike zone to get swings or looking strikes. Fast pitch wiffle ball actually requires a good bit of skill on the pitcher's part. I mean, it's not baseball but it's not something anyone can do without a lot of practice.

Dont swing, get a walk
lol
Alex Durrant You dont think this is edited?Thats cute
An unfair contest since the mlb guy is unfamiliar with the wiffle ball pitches and what they can do. Apples and oranges. Same with cricket.
I'd like to see the wiffle ball pitcher throw a real baseball against the hitter. well see who can hang lol.
Even if you gave MLB hitters practice and time to adjust they most likely wouldn't do well since that is the nature of the sport, way more pitcher dominated than the MLB.
Cricket is gay af
2 things I'd like to see the wiffle ball pitcher hit an mlb pitcher. The pitcher is talking to much trash
lol the pitcher was cocky but that cockiness would disappear pretty quickly if they put a regulation baseball in his hand. Loney who is not the end all be all like they made him out to be still made contact once he got a more realistic sized bat.

Loney can't hit that wiffleball but by the looks of his eyes he can hit a blunt.
So from what i'm seeing is don't swing at his pitches.
yup lol the majority of those pitches are balls.
I've seen footage of him in games where he can make it dance like that and consistently hit the target enough to keep batters honest. I think he was just being a dick here and not caring knowing that the batter would have to swing regardless.

They should have asked the pitcher why he's not in the big's.... oh right cause you'er only good at throwing a ball that does 95% of the work
So if he isn’t good enough to be a MLB pitcher he can’t throw a ball, so if you aren’t in the NBA why have a basketball hoop in your driveway...
"Perfect games in wiffle ball may not sound that impressive..." You're right, it doesn't.

Because that's what he's used to, more comfortable that way
There are a lot of haters in the comments, but guys, this is impressive. Seriously, he is making that ball do some serious
All it takes is a few hand motions and you can do that. It's not that hard lmfao...
i've had wiffleballs for like a week and i can make it do that easy, it's really not that hard
Wiffleball is 1/3 the weight of a baseball? I'm pretty sure if I hold three wiffleballs, it does not equate to one baseball
Damn I love Whiffle ball. They're really good for backyard hockey.
Best wiffle ball thrower. Still a virgin.
1 pitch with a bigger bat> "ok, you can hang"
It would be blast to go to one of his whiffle games! All three fans and his parents would be guaranteed fowl balls and a great show as grown men play with a toy found in little tykes toy sets!
Neat experiment. The wiffle guy was just having fun they both were.
So what I got from this is that if you just don't swing you walk every time
변화구 볼때 : 오오오..

"The hardcore world of competitive wiffleball" really sports science.. Really..
A more interesting comparison would be the bank accounts of the 2 guys. Something tells me Loney might have a significant advantage.
