Best advice my father told me. If you say YES to one thing your saying No to another.
Seen you play for our local team Norfolk Tides I remembered the name. Great channel.
What is the longest baseball game in your playing career
The ability to choose good intro music? 😂
Or sacrafice the intro music all together
Burn!
The intro music is way better than some gaming channels where it’s just generic edm/house music.
phat bill There’s a lot of creators that make good non-copyright music for people to use on RUclips
I heard almost exactly the same words spoken by another you-tuber in another video, just substitute "playing baseball" with "attending medical school". You are 100% correct, doing something that requires this kind of unbelievable skill requires a ton of sacrifices. Great video Matt!
Well said. Good advice.
Awesome to hear this! I’ve always wondered how much ball players had to sacrifice to play in the pros
Thx for this insider's view Anttolli.
Does anyone else bust out in an air guitar muscle spasm when the Antonelli intro comes on?
A wise man once said 90% of success is just showing up.
First time in awhile that one of your vids has shown up on my feed. Anyway great topic and insight. You’re doing a great job. Keep growing those subscribers. This is the perfect channel for hardcore ball fans.
I think you worked hard and unfortunately did not play very long in the majors. I think it made you a better people and know players that spent all of their money and have hard lives. I remember that my high school baseball coach brought in famous major league players and all of them said you have to have a plan when you finish playing. I remember that one of the players is in the Hall of Fame and in those days before Curt Flood were not paid very well. I remember seeing Fred Kendall who played for the Padres telling me that he was paid $19,000 and had to work in the off season but, his son Jason Kendall made a lot more money. I like your program and it teaches players about the game and what it takes to be a major league player.
Def true when you want to get really good at something you have to sacrifice so many other things to do your best at just
one thing.
Great question 100%
Your best video ever.
Slowly becoming my favorite RUclips channel and it’s not just because he’s a Massachusetts native either lol
I never knew you played in the Cape Cod league. Which team did you play for? I go to the Cape every summer and always make sure to watch a bunch of cape league games. Great video by the way.
Hey Matt, I was wondering if looking back, you feel like your injuries were bad luck or if your body just wasn’t built for the stresses of pro sports? I remember as a teenager some of the guys who were the most talented and people thought they had a chance to make the pros or get scholarships, but their knees and other joints just broke down even at a young age. People are just built so differently with stuff like bone density, tendon and ligament strength, that kind of stuff, I know you talked about being hurt a lot and wonder if you felt like your body was working against you sometimes.
I have a question for you for a topic..... Trick Plays.... Can player's do them whenever they feel like it or do they have to get permission?
I really hope he sees this, good one.
A guy has to live his dreams. That 8 to 5 job will always be waiting for a guy if he has to go home.
The amount of people that do this but never make it past rookie ball.
Oh snap. I've been watching your vids quite a bit! Didn't realize you were a warhawks guy. Midland man myself that's pretty interesting. Keep up the good content.
make a video of how to hit slider and curves
Ismael Delgado Best advice. Identify it early and lay off it. Most pitchers can’t throw it for strike.
Didn't I hear that Aristdes Aquino was in the minors for five or six years before he got called up? That's dedication. I imagine most players would have tapped out at around four and just gone into coaching.
Also, there are so many way to get a college education these days without having to physically go to college. The online correspondence courses are getting very sophisticated.
Chris Coste was a catcher for Phillies. 34 yr old rookie. 12 years! In the minors. Has a World Series ring. 2008. He wrote a book about it.
I wouldn't say 29 is that old for college. There's plenty of mature students out there
I just started college and the oldest person in my class is 72
maybe back in antonellis days of goin back to college, 29 was a lil old, but nowadays it seems like everything gets pushed back
@@TheRealBruceLouis It might also depend on what school you go to. Like if you got college in a large city at a public school 29 isn't that old but if you're at a smaller school like Wake Forest maybe it is. At least he had baseball insights
Here's an odd question. So does baseball or baseball insurance pay the full cost of rehab and surgeries? Does baseball have insurance, or do you have to get a Blue Cross policy or something? How does it work exactly? I assume this isn't a problem for guys like Trout, but guys just trying to make it might have a tough time paying for multiple surgeries and I assume that could possibly end their chances at returning to baseball.
Good question
Do you golf?
Was there a ever a moment where you knew that playing in the mlb was a real possibility?
he was drafted in the first round so likely at that moment. Great question
Shadow Zaron lol I guess I was thinking more of the earliest moment he knew it was a possibility
Shadow Zaron smart ass haha
@@PistolPete14 not on purpose funny enough :P
That was really depressing. My son is 9 and his dream is to be in the MLB and I support that. But after hearing this and that his whole Life will be put in the back burner for a small chance at making it.... wow. It's kind of sad.
I mean I guess but there’s also a pretty good chance he can get his college paid for... even if he ends up not being good enough for MLB getting a scholarship is still a pretty good deal
I had backups from my HS teams get scholarships from smaller DII schools
Also remember: life will always be there but baseball won’t
@@alechyre1115 The VAST majority of college baseball players do not get any scholarship money. And most of those that do only get partials. DI can only give about 12 scholarships, spread over about 50 players. So college baseball is most of your time practicing/playing and having to pick a "less time consuming" major - very few STEM majors in big time college sports.
i was self made, player mostly " willed" my way ....lloll....on too teen age teams
in the late 80s and early 90s. i can tell you with a doubt.
without little league. a persons chances fall by 95 percent if going all the way. cuase it ends up like doing calculous, not knowing arthmetic type of deal.
if he finishes LL and is well recieved in boys leagues ....and .... high school his chances are high of a college at least taking a look,
even if they dont look. theyre many division 3 colleges where you can will your way on the team i almost did in one.....lloll...
but when do you start seeing return which is what your question is about....
well if hes a sophmore in h.s. and starting....not on the bench.
thats your first sign
if hes on varsity starting thats a sign...
then id say thats return...
then if, junior starting varsity thats an investment point,
you should look it
but dont kid yourself for a moment baseball is an exetremely high I.Q game, where theres no room for pride, disappointment is normal, and
you will be dealing with perpetual listening, adapatation , and discipline, just to have the minimal skills necessary to be permitted on a mens level.
just the facts. if that i.q.and listening skill and adapatation and
zero pride isnt perfected by 15.then i put someones chances at zero of making it.
why cuase the system, or the game, which is what he is talking about,
will spot that defeciency,
you can even say, really from 15 ,on ward baseball is prob all listening
and absorbation,with very..... little exput.... on your part...and very little if zero....inovation ...on your part.
real high I.Q game. where youll be expected to consistantly absorb and do exactly what
the system wants. .. for a series of years, and better and better every time....
this comment excludes people who are gifted and dowhatever they want flying up the ranks.
but my comment pertains to average to slightly above average talent.
It's a tough life to choose. Personally, I think it better to know the reality getting to MLB as a parent. You don't need to share that with your son right now, but you can help him with decisions he'll be making.

Matt "im gonna get hurt writing this comment" Antonelli. ah im a dick.
Matt, I’m really curious about this one because how it’s portrayed in every baseball video game. Personally in road to the show I think it’s absurd that you have to do 6 years with a team to become an official free agent, especially since I feel a team can keep you in the minors for as long as they feel until they feel you’re ready to come up. Do you think 6 years is too long? Truthfully a team may not need a first baseman for a long time and you’re just stuck with that team. What are your thoughts
What was your reaction to being called up to the majors?
You had some wise coaches who told you early on the pay price to action for success. And not that you could have it all.
it is not a sacrifice it is what you want to do that is not a sacrifice this word is always used wrong read ayn rand or look up yaron brook on sacrifice
At 6:30 he has to think about how long he has been with his wife I hope she isn't watching this.
BOBMILIN haha I ask her all the time
Good video, I share a lot of your videos with kids I know that are pursuing the same dream
How expensive was it playing travel ball in ohio
Pretty impressive to see how much incredible self-discipline it takes for athletes to reach the top level. Or, how much persistence it takes when they are stuck in the minors and never get called up. All for the love of the game.
That’s why I get so mad when people complain about major league pay.. they have no idea what it takes..
Would you say some people it came much easier to and they would like party all the time and still be ok? Also would be curious what you'd say about PED use (steroids, etc.) I'm sure it might be impossible for you to say anything for it as a coach and ambassador to the game. I see people excuse Latin American players when they're caught because they're from a poverty-stricken country. But yet if an American player does the same then they're judged more harshly saying they have more opportunities and if they're not good enough they should just go do that.
Talk about politics next
Matt.... how come you didn't move to Arizona...I know several ex major Leaguers who moved from the East coast to Scottsdale.
I can't believe your poor GF/Wife stayed with you wow. Sounds like Baseball is like joining the military and you are gone to Afghanistan for 2 years at a time! What you said is so true though to be the best at anything requires big time life sacrifices.
Wow 0 dislikes, impressive
That’s because Baseball people are the best!
Unless the wife is traveling with the team, I imagine it would be difficult for spouses to remain faithful to each other.
80's Nostalgia Guy Yup. That’s why you see guys with ugly wives a lot. Probably because all of the good looking ones don’t stick around/cheat. Mad bums and Crawford’s wife’s combine to weigh a ton.
Paul Molitor brought his wife and family with him to live fulltime in Toronto when he played for the Blue Jays. He still managed to have an affair and father a bastard child.
Sean Webb Damn, that’s awesome. I think Paul Molitor just became my favorite player.
Stephen Dre Paul molitor would fuck a catchers mit.
@@seanwebb605 Wow.
The status of being a mlb player skyrockets your life in the women department. The status and money is so much higher than any 23 year old with a college degree.
It's all about the money. You could be jobless or a 70 year old man. But if you have millions in the bank, you will get plenty of women.
I was born the year you were drafted
A 30 year old in college XD
So what? He doesn't look his age anyway. When he was in college, he probably could have passed for a mid 20's guy. At least he's trying to get back on his feet.
You sound pretty young-minded (immature). I'm 64; *30 is still a young man.*
Do you own any of your baseball cards?
First
so close
Same
this is still a thing? ugh
Couldn't you ask someone who actually spent real time in the major leagues?
Couldn't you not be a hater since you did nothing with your own life?
@@kpetty5577 My own life has been quite interesting and continues to be productive.
He's talking about sacrifices. He can talk about it. He was in pro for awhile even if he didn't stay major leagues.
@@seanwebb605 (Whistle -tweet) Unnecessary viciousness. Leave the thread.
@@nycsongman9758 After you.
Not trying to be an ass, but sacrifice is the wrong word...you made a choice to pursue your dream...sacrifice is what soldiers do...you got a scholarship (I assume) and signed for a 7 figure bonus...not putting you down, but it comes across as petty...I enjoy your videos, but this one irked me
He sacrificed different things. He didn't say it was as bad as being a soldier.
