No one in MLB could throw farther than Rocky Colavito even Roberto Clemente who threw with greater precision than anyone. Some minor leaguers have thrown farther.
@@nictyrpenou That is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I am not directing this at you btw. I refuse to call it that. You can't call disabled people disabled because it's "offensive" so why is calling the disabled list offensive? It's the DL.
One of my favorite players EVER. He threw the nastiest cheese, best movement I ever saw. When it's started going bad for him I felt so bad for him. When he came back and started raking it was good to see.
I actually remember watching the highlights of that game when Ankiel came back as a CF for the Cardinals! I was quite impressed when ESPN actually said that he used to be a pitcher and even more impressed when he hit that big time home run.
I love the way you do these videos!!! How do you not have a million subscribers! When ever I get a notification for your video I immediately click it knowing it’s going to be a banger 🔥keep up the good work ma dude!
Rick is my favourite player of all time. I am British and went on holiday to America when I was a kid. I went to see the Braves Vs Nats and Rick Ankiel hit a grand slam. Amazing times.
I heard a story on this today. Ankiel told a bunch of what happened. After he went back to the outfield, he said he could throw a strike from 250' but not from 60'. What's being learned by sports science & medicine is that this is not mainly psychological, but neuromuscular. They've been wiring up athletes and musicians who have this happen. What they see is that certain muscles used in learned skills which have become automatic through extreme repetition, like pitching, suddenly begin misfiring, freezing, or over-activating. They've wired up golfers who've lost their games, and in different players they can see a lot of the same muscles misfiring. Anxiety can make it worse, but it's not just nerves. I'm glad Ankiel got to have a second life in baseball, I hope the sports medicine folks can keep learning more to help athletes who have this happen.
I say much respect for not giving up on the dream some of us call baseball. Baseball to me was always the most fun. I was truly more talented at football but I always enjoyed baseball much more. I think most of us who played always fantasized making it to the next level. There comes that time when you know that you have made it as far as you ever will. You hang on there as long as you can then progress backward. The hardest day is when you realize the next level is a dream that is not happening!
I remember everyone in Cardinal nation pretty much just giving up on him. It was almost like people wanted him to retire just so he wouldn’t have a mental breakdown. So when he started putting up massive offensive numbers in the minors it seemed like everyone was going, “Nooooo.... but, maybe he can do it.” Then, it seemed like we were just waiting for the perfect time for him to get a call up and it was pretty magical to see him back in the majors. When he hit that first home run back it was one of the very few times La Russa ever had a big smile. That should tell everyone how special it was.
I remember seeing Ankiel pitching, then he was gone. Then one random game on TV I saw Rick Ankiel again playing outfield!!! Then dude hit a home run. Started following him after that its a great story. Probably the best outfield arm in baseball history.
This is easily the best comeback story ever. I was following him as an up and coming pitcher. To me, he had one of the top 5 greatest arms from the outfield. So many outfield assists
definitely read The Phenomenon for more on his story. a lot of great info on his upbringing and his own headspace when his life started to fall apart around him
Yes" I always found this interesting. I saw him pitch for tge Cardinals and he was off but then he came back as a great hitter and defensive outfielder. Real awesome story and great channel.

When Rick came up with the Cardinals he was outstanding,then came the start in the mlds vs the braves the wild pitches started,this was in 2000,,then fell apart in the nlcs vs the Mets
Yo! Dawson you should make a video about how the Chicago White Sox are a very underrated team and will be a very scary team later on in the future..Awesome Video by the way!
This happened to me when I was trying out for my middle school baseball team. I prayed everyday for a year that I would make that team so when i got the yips during tryouts I completely freaked out and faked an arm injury. I had no idea that it ever happened to anyone else at the time. I’m kept faking my arm injury and my parents took me to see doctors and to physical therapy for years and never lifted my arm up over my head if front of anyone. About 15 years later I found out about the yips and I confessed to my parents that I was faking the injury. I haven’t thrown a baseball since those tryouts
I dunno. I didn't play in the majors but in the competitive baseball I did play, I never heard a single word or clap from the crowd. It was ALLLLL blocked out somehow. But I didn't have 40k people screaming at me either lol.
DEADRISER2014, no, sumplight. You know when you look inside your sump pump and it’s all shiny. That’s sumplight and 1 out of 250 lefties with a mustache are affected by it.
@kilzad Birth yea, he said he’s old enough to control the anxiety and he is still able to pitch, I believe he is working with the cardinals in spring training right now
I remember watching that playoff game at school before baseball practice with a group of us watching it in the coaches office and we were all completely baffled. Ankiel had a great season and then in the 3rd he just completely fell apart. Wish you had shown some of the pitches instead of still frames, but I'm sure it's copyright protected. When they sent him down to AAA Memphis, it wasn't like he was going somewhere where he wouldn't be seen. The Memphis Redbirds, at that time, were either leading in minor league attendance or ranked 2nd. I live just outside of Memphis and used to go to the AAA games regularly. Autozone Park is an exceptional stadium, built specifically for expansion in case MLB ever decided to put a major league team there. So he was still pitching in front of crowds of 10,000 people or more.
How and WTF to go from 19k's per 9innings to 17 BB in 4 innings? All you can say is that he aquired a very bad case of stage fright or maybe he saw the movie Bull Durham one too many times.
So Rick Ankiel was dominant and out of the blue he struggled with his command, nobody really checking in on him, then gets sent down to the minors twice until LATER much later they discover that he needs Tommy John? O....k. Really?
Did you listen to the vid? 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤣 The way he pronounced certain words and read what he was reading out loud wrong. Sounded like he pulled an Ankiel and once he knew he was being recorded, he read the words in the wrong order and everything else. 🤣
So I haven't been into baseball since the late 90s. I played in Asher Oklahoma. If you don't know you better Google that shit. But I just quite caring. I have decided to get back into becoming a fan baseball again. I like ncaa football and the okc thunder, but baseball is only the sport that hasn't become political. It's my last safe sport. I'm coming in late in the season. Thanks for the great channel. Maybe make a who's who and what teams are what video for new people coming back to baseball. Other then Trout I know no one. Help a new/ old fan out.
One of the best comeback stories ever. Good vid Dawson!
Use my beats for your "mixtapes"!
@contfeg kneeknew they make mixtapes as highlight reels. I make the background music for dawson and wanna do the same for them.
MLB Hi MLB
MLB hi MLB. OMG! I never expected you to be here.
Mlb who’s your favorite player
One of my favorite players of all time. His story is fantastic, and he may have had the best outfield throwing arm EVER.
True true. Kinda sad that Bo didn't give his all to baseball. He had some SERIOUS tools.
Jeff francouer has the best outfield arm
Made The Cut, I’m sorry to break it you, but the reason he stopped pitching was because he took ecstasy.
No one in MLB could throw farther than Rocky Colavito even Roberto Clemente who threw with greater precision than anyone. Some minor leaguers have thrown farther.
Made The Cut hi I love your compilations
Where you at shohei ohtani? Ohtani: “ the dL”
Nick Rampe He should be a hitter first. He is more valueable as a hitter.
Use as pitcher in extras.
Nick Rampe hey that’s offensive it’s the injured list😂
@@nictyrpenou That is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I am not directing this at you btw. I refuse to call it that. You can't call disabled people disabled because it's "offensive" so why is calling the disabled list offensive? It's the DL.
wash beezy i know i won’t call it the Injured List either i hate how nowadays everyone gets offended
Funny but messed up and I'm late
One of my favorite players EVER. He threw the nastiest cheese, best movement I ever saw. When it's started going bad for him I felt so bad for him. When he came back and started raking it was good to see.

I think you missed a spot, while licking his boots!
Rick is my favourite player of all time. I am British and went on holiday to America when I was a kid. I went to see the Braves Vs Nats and Rick Ankiel hit a grand slam. Amazing times.
I think it’s incredible that a 15-16 year old is almost at 20k subscribers
Pedro Chicken taco He works hard, I'm happy for him.
I thought Dawson was a little older than that. None-the-less, I am very happy for him. Keep them videos coming.
i didnt know he was a teenager
He just hit 30k
He also puts a ton of effort into his videos, so he deserves it
I was at that game. Crazy how everything turned out.
Must have been INSANE

Next storytime you should do anthony rizzos cancer story
Wasnt rizzo the baby who cried RESPECT ME lol
Are trying to make fun of him or are you making a joke
@@coltvlogs3951 im just chirpin rizzo but i know about his story and it wud actually be a cool video
I agree
...or Jon Lester's.
And now he is a signature series in mlb the show 19
Derek Sarno and his hitting stats are insane.
which sucks at pitching
One of my favorite videos you have ever posted.
nicely done - interesting story

definitely read The Phenomenon for more on his story. a lot of great info on his upbringing and his own headspace when his life started to fall apart around him
Yes" I always found this interesting. I saw him pitch for tge Cardinals and he was off but then he came back as a great hitter and defensive outfielder. Real awesome story and great channel.
Who y’all got winning the NL Central?
1. Cubs 2. Cardinals 3. Brewers 4. Pirates 5. Reds
Dawson Wright
Cubs. The Cards may be hot, but not even their black magic can overthrow the lovable losers.
Deez nutz
Cubbies
If brewers hold up they will play stl in wild card
I loved watching him pitch back in the day. Awesome athlete. Really inspired me.
Also, I’m going to make a video on this anyway but I’m curious. Who do you think should win AL MVP?
Dawson Wright
Mookie Betts. Few players ever have a great season and hit for the cycle.
Mookie betts but even tho I hate him Jose Ramirez should be considered as well
People are sleeping on J.D Martinez
1.Mookie 2. Jd martniez 3. Ramirez
Joe mauer
You should do a story on Dave Dravecky and J.R.Richard.
I agree with J.R! Not only did he have a cannon for an arm but he was a great hitter also!
As a Cubs fan this kid is a fighter and glad he didn't stop.
Did u know about him before this video ?
HES BACK!!
Great vid!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
my dood really just deep fried some of the greatest clips of al time 😂
😂😂😂
Ohtani did great for an injury shortened season! Wait for the 2019 edition. Keep up the videos!
When Rick came up with the Cardinals he was outstanding,then came the start in the mlds vs the braves the wild pitches started,this was in 2000,,then fell apart in the nlcs vs the Mets
Love the throwback intro also cubs will win the division keep up the good work
This is a fun story. I never knew any of this, crazy.
Struggling pitchers should do this more often. Imagine how many amazing throws they could make with a bit of practice.
Dawson Is AMAZING
he hit a game winning HR for the braves in the post season a few years ago
I love your videos
This was worth the wait!
I like the intro but the low resolution is kind of buzz kill
I love baseball storytime
We need a video on Greg Gibson the home plate umpire
I caught Rick as an old man with the nationals and he STILL had a cannon back then.
I was at a Memphis Redbirds. Game when was hitting the backstop a lot. I think he walked the first 6 batters before they pulled him.
Yo! Dawson you should make a video about how the Chicago White Sox are a very underrated team and will be a very scary team later on in the future..Awesome Video by the way!
Love every vid been subbed since 60
This is a great video Dawson
amazing video!
This happened to me when I was trying out for my middle school baseball team. I prayed everyday for a year that I would make that team so when i got the yips during tryouts I completely freaked out and faked an arm injury.

About 15 years later I found out about the yips and I confessed to my parents that I was faking the injury. I haven’t thrown a baseball since those tryouts
There should be a movie made about your story.
Finally your back!
His homer to give the Braves a win in San Fran in the molds in 2010 is something I’ll never forget
Wish you would be on more .Your a very talented young man .Kept up the Great job.
Ankiel was a stud.
Seeing this in 2019, a lot of fun and well done. Baseball youtubers are the best i find, and i watch a lot of youtube lmao
I dunno. I didn't play in the majors but in the competitive baseball I did play, I never heard a single word or clap from the crowd. It was ALLLLL blocked out somehow. But I didn't have 40k people screaming at me either lol.
He lost his control as a pitcher but before that he had an amazing curveball. Because of his pitching he had one of the better arms for an outfielder.
You should make one about David peralta
I've seen many pitchers gradually lose "it"/control, but Ankiel is the only person I've seen lose it seemingly instantly and never get it back.
Oof
When Dawson makes a video!
That Dude is Legit💯
Do Dereck Rodriguez next.
Yeah
You should do David Peraltas story from pitcher to McDonald’s worker to mlb star
Rick is a gamer, much respect. (Not video gamer, gamer like hes fuckin hard)
He became a excellent CF and could hit
Look up Adam Loewen. Went from MLB Pitcher to Outfielder to Pitcher.
Dawson the GOAT
I love your intro and vids
ROBERTO CLEMENTE,BO JACKSON,VLAD,RICK ANKIEL
He went to my high school and my coach was his catcher, that’s tuff
Also there was a player alergic to sunlight. he would struggle in june but would do exellent in september
Ethan Cushman *sunlight you mean
DEADRISER2014, no, sumplight. You know when you look inside your sump pump and it’s all shiny. That’s sumplight and 1 out of 250 lefties with a mustache are affected by it.
AV 57 my bad
He’s coming back as a relief pitcher
Redpigman Gaming Ik he is coming back but as a pitcher really?
@kilzad Birth yea, he said he’s old enough to control the anxiety and he is still able to pitch, I believe he is working with the cardinals in spring training right now
Finally
Do a video on the idea of a computerized strike zone
Great video. Interesting story.
Can you talk about ideas that can help the MLB be popular all around
How bout James jones former mariner. Switched from outfield to pitcher but didn’t do to well
His last name is 6 letters. Jersey number 66. I see you Ankiel...
Those beginning edits are cringe you can beat that lol
ankiel became better player as an outfielder unbelievable
Hey dawson, could you make a story about Edwin Richard Doheny?
448 perfit
He is mlb the show 19 best hitting pitcher
I remember watching that playoff game at school before baseball practice with a group of us watching it in the coaches office and we were all completely baffled. Ankiel had a great season and then in the 3rd he just completely fell apart. Wish you had shown some of the pitches instead of still frames, but I'm sure it's copyright protected.

That was one of the best stories I ever heard
How and WTF to go from 19k's per 9innings to 17 BB in 4 innings? All you can say is that he aquired a very bad case of stage fright or maybe he saw the movie Bull Durham one too many times.
That new youtube channel profile pic tho..
What’s the song in the back at 1:42
So Rick Ankiel was dominant and out of the blue he struggled with his command, nobody really checking in on him, then gets sent down to the minors twice until LATER much later they discover that he needs Tommy John? O....k. Really?
Chatwood should try to change positions
Guess what I’ve met him and he was really nice
Is that music from the elder scrolls in the background?
"That's some Babe Ruth-type stuff." Well put.
I don't understand... HOW ARE YOU NOT A REPORTER ON MLB NETWORK OR SOMETHING?!?!?!?
Did you listen to the vid? 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤣
The way he pronounced certain words and read what he was reading out loud wrong. Sounded like he pulled an Ankiel and once he knew he was being recorded, he read the words in the wrong order and everything else. 🤣
lol oblivion music
A god
I'm liking the skyrim OST music you're using in the background haha
So I haven't been into baseball since the late 90s. I played in Asher Oklahoma. If you don't know you better Google that shit. But I just quite caring. I have decided to get back into becoming a fan baseball again. I like ncaa football and the okc thunder, but baseball is only the sport that hasn't become political. It's my last safe sport. I'm coming in late in the season. Thanks for the great channel.
Maybe make a who's who and what teams are what video for new people coming back to baseball. Other then Trout I know no one. Help a new/ old fan out.
Watched gn the game today egg behind home plate
Got the yips
Why did he decide to throw so many wild pitches ? Why not just throw strikes ?
