It's widely accepted that the most difficult thing in all of sports to do is to hit a baseball thrown 95mph or more. As the old saying goes, "Baseball isn't fair. It's played with a round ball and a round bat and they ask you to constantly hit it square." Look up a series called Sports Science. You'll be blown away with how much money, technology and science they put into understanding everything possible about every sport on earth.
The crack of the bat when you hit the ball in the sweet spot is very satisfying. What's also satisfying is the feel of the bat in your hands when you hit that sweet spot... you barely feel it.
@@Alex-kd5xc exactly I hit a double somehow when the ball hit that part that makes your hands sting and it was cold out also so i somehow muscled the ball outta the infield idk how though

Barry Bonds holds the records for most career home runs (762), and most home runs in a season (73 in 2001). Over his career he hit home runs in about 6% of his plate appearances, or about one home run for every 16.5 plate appearances. In 2001 he hit home runs in about 11% of his plate appearances, or about one home run for every 9 plate appearances. In MLB in 2019 there were 6776 home runs in 186,517 plate appearances, or about 3.6% (about one for every 27.5 plate appearances).
Surprisingly, Bonds does not hold the record for largest head (by actual head size... not talking about ego which is a toss up between Bonds and A-Rod) in baseball history.. that honor goes to former journeyman catcher Bruce Bochy.. who turned out to be a pretty good manager after he was done playing! Every single one of Bonds records needs an asterisk next to it. Guy would have been a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame BEFORE he started juicing. He didn't need it. And has nobody to blame but himself for being run out of the game, and made a pariah.
This is basically why baseball is exciting. Every pitch you have two guys who have trained at two different skills at an Olympic level their entire life, and it comes to a climax on every pitch. People say baseball isn’t an athletic sport, I would argue there’s nothing more athletic than the competition between an mlb pitcher and mlb hitter.
One of the few good things about Covid was being able to hear those loud home runs in an empty stadium. You know it's gone when it sounds like a rifle shot. Hitting one just right is the greatest feeling in sports.
As a massive college baseball fan, I must say. Big Hit Mac at Mississippi State University hit a home run in his last game at Dudu Nobel Field. It’s the loudest reactions I have ever heard from a crowd. If you ever find a college baseball compilation. That would be a dream haha. Keep it up bro! Vids are great!
Hitting a baseball is one of the, if not the most difficult things in all of sports. If I remember correctly, you have 0.25 seconds (depending on velocity, pitch delivery, etc.) to identify a pitch and then react to it as a batter. If I quickly look at the numbers, top hitters hit about 30/35 homers a season, with around 200/250 at bats. There's a few great videos on RUclips on the science of pitches. Yeah, there's science behind it, they've done so much research on pitches it's crazy!
The sound of a 100 mph fastball into a catchers glove is insanely loud. So loud, that a UK baseball club would have to get permission to play within city limits hehe
At Minite Maid Patk almost any well hit ball will crack like if it were a Home Run. But when they hit it to center field it just dies at 400 ft into the glove of the centerfielder. Our hearts always drop. But when it is hit to left or right then it makes the crowd roar with glee and the train toots and rolls on its tracks and the score board Blows up! Astros Baseball. It is awesome!
@@kabirconsiders Ehen you get a chance, watch Game 7 of the American League Championship game Astros vs Yankees. That was exciting. Do not do it as a reaction. Just watch it as a personal time out with some popcorn, guiness and peanuts. You will love it.
Yeah Kabir, I remember the first home run I ever hit like it was yesterday. I was 12 and it was opening day of baseball season (1973). South Crest Park in San Diego, Ca. Perhaps hitting a home run is somewhat equivalent to scoring a goal in soccer. Some players hit a lot of them, but most don't. Still they are fairly rare. The best players probably hit a home run every 25 to 28 at bats. Less skilled hitters anywhere from 33 to 35 at bats. (this assumes 600 at bats per season.) They are amazing to see in person. Stadiums are designed to make them a challenge.😊😊
@@kabirconsiders Game 5 of 2005 National League Championship Series. Albert Pujols hits a massive home run off Astros' pitcher Brad Lidge in the top of the 9th inning to win the game for St. Louis. Minute Maid Park went almost absolutely silent when the ball left Pujols' bat.
I was in a box seat at a White Sox game on a Saturday nite in August of 2000, and with people late in arriving, Frank Thomas hit one out in the bottom of the first that sounded like an actual explosion when bat hit ball, and it echoed
Watching a game of your favorite team or even just a random game if you love baseball you'll enjoy the game. Regardless what game you are watching when you hear a certain noise it grabs your attention. You could be in the middle of a convo just looking at the scores from the other room and your eyes turn quick.
Great hitters hit safely around 30% of the time. That does not include the homeruns which occur far more rarely. This was a great reaction. I am having a good time going back and catching up on some of your older videos now that I discovered your channel. Thanks for sharing.
5:58 This was at Tropicana Field (they make great orange juice) in Tampa Bay, Florida. That ball hit the D-ring catwalk that's meant to hold lights and support the roof structure. There's four ring-shaped catwalks up there, labeled A-D with the innermost called the A-ring. Each one is just over a meter wide. A batted ball that hits the A or B ring is considered in play, and if it stays up there, it's ruled a free 2-base hit (an automatic double). If a batted ball hits the C or D ring or the lights underneath them while in fair territory, it's an automatic home run.
@@kabirconsiders for him I think it was natural, but at the last stages of his career he was suspended for testosterone, which I believe he didn't even need cuz he was such a great batter anyways.
The best homerun hitters hit one every 10-15 at bats. A few have broken the 10% rate, most were on steroids. But that’s just the home run hitters, which do tend to be the best hitters in the game but not necessarily. Mike Trout for example has never led the league in homeruns but he’s come close. If you can hit over .300 AND hit a homerun every 10-15 AB’s, that’s typically your MVP. Then there’s guy like Joey Gallo who hit 1 every 12-14 at bats or so but he hits just over .200 and basically that makes him just an above average hitter but nowhere near the best. And he’s a freak. No one hits that many home runs with that low of a batting average. Usually if you are hitting .200 you’re near the bottom of the league or getting cut.
You should react to the Home Run Derby, which is held every year the evening before the All Star Game, when players compete to hit the most home runs in an allotted number of pitches. For years, it used to be that fans would set up seats on the buildings across the street from Wrigley Field, but then the team started selling those seats instead of letting people sit there for free.
@@kabirconsiders thanks 😁 i love watching your videos you very open minded and fun to watch. Sorry if my english not perfect i'm a french canadian from Québec
Check out college baseball sometime. They use alluminum bats which give a very distinctive "ping" instead of the crack of the wooden bats the pros use. Personally i prefer the crack of a wooden bat, but it is the ping of the aluminum bat that you hear around neighborhood ballparks throughout the US
If you notice, most of these games were broadcast on ESPN. ESPN is known for using parabolic microphones that are pointed at the plate. They give us what we want to hear and that’s cracking bats. Some of the loudest hits I’ve heard recently is from Acuna Jr. of the Braves. Just look up some of his BP. ruclips.net/video/QLuU8Apfm8Y/видео.html
A very good home run hitter will hit 40 in a season of 162 games, so average 1 in every 4 games. Most games will usually have at least one home run hit.
If you want to see & hear some massive home runs, watch Mark McGwire's assault on the single season home run record in 1998 when he hit 70 HR's that season (the record was 61). Or there is the 1999 Home Run Derby at the All Star Game in Boston when McGwire hit 13 in the first round, with most going over the Green Monster left field wall & out of the stadium. And there is the 3 home runs Albert Pujols hit in Game 3 of the 2011 World Series, especially the first one.
The odds in part depend on what the manager wants you to do. Some guys are not as much there to hit a home run but to instead try to get on base. The more the bases are loaded the more points your team can get when someone hits that perfect home run. That is why many pitchers find it important to strike out these heavy hitters as the last thing they need is for the bases to be loaded when suddenly someone hits a home run.
For great homers AND great pitching, check out Shohei Ohtani (pitcher and DH for the Angels). His April 2021 highlight reel is amazing. Pitchers generally don’t hit well. But Ohtani currently is tied for 1st on the Home Run Leaderboard, despite being a pitcher. That hasn’t happened since Babe Ruth. Shohei “Showtime” Ohtani is insane
Ah. The sound of a well struck baseball. Hitting a home run like Judge, very difficult, you need to be pretty strong and get the bat just right. And .300 is a percentage, it means he gets a hit about 3 times for every 10 at bats. The higher, the better. Under .200 is nicknamed “The Mendoza Line.” A guy named Mendoza had done it, and the next season a different guy was struggling, and a teammate said, “you’ll go below the Mendoza line if you aren’t careful.” The name stuck. And that Judge home run? 450 feet. He’s hit it 495 before.
At 4:40 he hit the ball out of the entire ballpark, over a street that runs parallel with the stadium, and onto the roof of the building that is across the street of ballpark.
A's easily beat Minnesota Twins 6-1 last night! They tee'd off on the Twins pitcher like it was batting practice. 4 jacks (or bombs, both meaning home run). One by Ramon Laureno, one by Stephen Piscotty, one by Sean Murphy, and one by Mark Canha!
Ballparking some averages (punny): A top batter will get generally get a base hit 1/3 times. Top home run hitters can stick 25% of those over the wall.
@@kabirconsiders The top guys will usually have 30-50 in a season (~162 games, ~3-5 at bats). Barry Bonds is the single season record holder with 73. In that season he averaged 1 home run for each 6.5 at bats and finished his career with a record 762 HR. I'd argue he's the greatest ever, but the last 3rd of his career (already a hall of famer) is clouded by steroid usage (which was common in that era.
I don't know if it's too long but there are several videos out of the Washington National's amazing 2019 run to World Series championship . The first half of their season was dismal but the come back was thrilling. I sure hope you can react to it. I've been waiting for someone to do a reaction to it.
Great home run hitters will hit a home run 1 out of 3-4 games or about 12-16 at bats. But that’s really only the greats. 20 at bats for solid sluggers.
So a batting average of .300 or better is gonna put you in the top 10 for the year. So the best of the best only get on base 3 out of every 10 at bat chances. And that’s a single base hit, double, triple, or home run all counts the same
Good news - the KC Royals are featured in this video! Bad news - they're usually the ones giving up the homers! I'm sorry - just a bit sad, from my standpoint. Actually, homeruns occur on average I'd like 2-3 times in any given game, but it's not like every third time at bat. More like 1/12 or 1/20 at bats.
@@kabirconsiders I don't know about that. I do know that there were some controversy a few years ago because there were a lot of 'em, & there were charges of people, 'juicing the balls'. Turns out that it wasn't the balls, it was the bats - they'd changed to type of wood the bats were made of, & the balls were flying farther because of it. I'm not sure how they've resolved all of that, though.
@@kabirconsiders He is definitely in the mix, but Trout is an anomaly because he is what we call a "five tool player". Meaning he can hit for average, hit for power, run, throw and field. He is the total package. He may not be the best homer guy but he does everything above average.
Price Fielder hit the catwalk .. but his daddy Cecil used to hit it over the 3rd deck roof at Tigers Stadium. It's too bad these videos don't even look at the 80's and 90's ..... or earlier hitters.
I agree. These baseball videos on RUclips only focus on recent highlights and players. There's tons of great baseball highlights going back to the 1950s.
If a player plays in all 162 games in a season (rare) and gets 3 at bats per game (MLB average) in every game, that’s 486 at bats in a season. And if he’s a HISTORICALLY GREAT power hitter he’ll turn ~50 of those at bats in to home runs
Your typical power hitter in the MLB will average around 30 homeruns per season. With the length of the season that about 5 homers a month. So give or take, one homer every 6 games or so. When Barry Bonds hit 73 in one season he more than doubled that rate.
In baseball a ".300" hitter is considered to be above average. A .300 hitter gets a hit 3 times every 10 at bats... what other profession, in or out of sports, are you considered to be really good when you fail 7 out of 10 times? The best home run hitters will hit a home run on average every 15 times at bat.. the all time greats hit a home run every 11 or 12 at bats.
The MLB season lasts 162 games. Each player gets approximately 4 at-bats per game. Allowing for a few missed games due to injury, suspension, etc, a good starting player will get about 600 at-bats per season. The record for home runs in a season is over 70. That is tainted in the eyes of many because the players who have achieved that mark were found to have used steroids and other PEDs. Babe Ruth held the record (60) for decades until Roger Maris hit 61 in the very early 1960's. Again, many purists devalued the accomplishment because Ruth had established his mark when the season was slightly shorter. Maris's record stood for over 35 years until 1998 when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa both surpassed it. That race to catch Maris captured the national consciousness at the time, but was the subject of scandal when the steroid angle was exposed. Players were actually subpoenaed to testify before the US Senate. I'm sure there are videos on the home run chase and resulting scandal. Might be interesting fodder for you.
@@kabirconsiders The home run derby is a skill competition prior to the All Star Game. The Chase is the media-given name for the 1998 season during which two players eclipsed a record, thought to be nearly unbreakable, which had stood since 1961. Upon reflection, it was obvious that steroid use amongst baseball players was rampant across MLB. Sosa, for instance, had never hit more than 40 home runs. Suddenly, he hit 66. McGwire, for his part, was always a power hitter and a large man. But, in 1998, he was enormous. Her wouldn't have looked out of place in any NFL locker room. When he held the bat, it looked like a child's toy. It wasn't just that he hit 70 home runs... he was hitting the ball into orbit. Baseball came down fairly hard on steroids. Instantly, home run totals fell dramatically. Nevertheless, it was dramatic to watch two charismatic, beloved, genuinely nice guys run down a hallowed record. The 1998 baseball season was one of the most memorable in history.
Nah, the best home run hitters in a season hit 40+ home runs. Normally around a dozen or less do it per season. And its not uncommon for as little as just 1 or 2 players in the sport to be the only ones to crack 40+ in a season. And on average they go up to bat 500-600+ times in a year. Giving them on average a 1-15 rate. Some seasons there are players that hit 50, 60, or even 70+ home runs in that same span. Uping that rate to as high as 1-8
Confession, this is so wrong, but when I see the Astros players in clips I automatically think "he's cheating!" Pitching, hitting, eating a hot dog, sneezing.....anything.
@@kabirconsiders No, he played in the MLB. One of the greatest hitters of my generation. If you search for him on RUclips you’ll find a lot of great videos of him. He’s my favorite professional athletes not only for what he did on the field, but what he did off. He played right field his whole Career for the San Diego Padres. Amazing athlete and human being. May I email you?
Ay man, gonna check out Dark Skies channel sometime soon? I have one recommended u should check out on their channel, the XP-79 Flying Ram. As well don’t forget that YF-23. As well as u can make a vid of some other aircraft ur interested in on the channel! ;D
I don't know of anyone that hits one in 6 for homeruns. Probably the best only hit 1 in 10. But more likely 1 in 20 was a home run. Monsters like you are seeing hit is this video would be even more rare. Sometimes you will see a batter hit 2 in one game (4 at bats on average) & I do remember one player (maybe multiple players?) hit 3 in one game. Power hitters many times go in streaks. 2 in a game then nothing for the next 2 weeks. Hitting in general is a streaky process not just home runs.
KABIR - you should watch the king of the hill no one wants to respect for any number of reasons - Barry Bonds - the homerun king whether you like it or not ruclips.net/video/pd9DSngkusk/видео.html
I maybe biased, but baseball has some of the most satisfying sounds in sports. Especially when a ball hits a bat (both metal & wooden), and a thrown ball lands in a baseball glove.

If you want to see & hear some massive home runs, watch Mark McGwire's assault on the single season home run record in 1998 when he hit 70 HR's that season (the record was 61). Or there is the 1999 Home Run Derby at the All Star Game in Boston when McGwire hit 13 in the first round, with most going over the Green Monster left field wall & out of the stadium. And there is the 3 home runs Albert Pujols hit in Game 3 of the 2011 World Series, especially the first one.
Big stick go boom!!
The odds in part depend on what the manager wants you to do. Some guys are not as much there to hit a home run but to instead try to get on base. The more the bases are loaded the more points your team can get when someone hits that perfect home run. That is why many pitchers find it important to strike out these heavy hitters as the last thing they need is for the bases to be loaded when suddenly someone hits a home run.
For great homers AND great pitching, check out Shohei Ohtani (pitcher and DH for the Angels). His April 2021 highlight reel is amazing. Pitchers generally don’t hit well. But Ohtani currently is tied for 1st on the Home Run Leaderboard, despite being a pitcher. That hasn’t happened since Babe Ruth. Shohei “Showtime” Ohtani is insane
I need to put a vid of Ohtani on my list!
Home Runs - I think the most satisfying Home Run would be an Inside the Park , where the runner scores with the ball in play never leaving the field.
last year the leading player had a home run every 9.7 at bats which was the best it has been in a long long time
I personally feel like hitting off of a major league pitcher has to be one of the hardest things in sports.
For sure, the balls travelling so fast!
Check out Jim Thome home runs. Every one sounds like a Howitzer.
I’ll put him on my list!
I would like you to react to Inside the park home runs
Another nice sound is the college bats
Explanation for Kabir: College bats are metal, instead of wood.
Composite metals now.
I’ll put it on my list!
Ah. The sound of a well struck baseball. Hitting a home run like Judge, very difficult, you need to be pretty strong and get the bat just right. And .300 is a percentage, it means he gets a hit about 3 times for every 10 at bats. The higher, the better. Under .200 is nicknamed “The Mendoza Line.” A guy named Mendoza had done it, and the next season a different guy was struggling, and a teammate said, “you’ll go below the Mendoza line if you aren’t careful.” The name stuck. And that Judge home run? 450 feet. He’s hit it 495 before.
At 4:40 he hit the ball out of the entire ballpark, over a street that runs parallel with the stadium, and onto the roof of the building that is across the street of ballpark.
A's easily beat Minnesota Twins 6-1 last night! They tee'd off on the Twins pitcher like it was batting practice. 4 jacks (or bombs, both meaning home run). One by Ramon Laureno, one by Stephen Piscotty, one by Sean Murphy, and one by Mark Canha!
Go A's!
Ballparking some averages (punny): A top batter will get generally get a base hit 1/3 times. Top home run hitters can stick 25% of those over the wall.
Oh wow, so home runs aren’t as common as I thought!
@@kabirconsiders The top guys will usually have 30-50 in a season (~162 games, ~3-5 at bats). Barry Bonds is the single season record holder with 73. In that season he averaged 1 home run for each 6.5 at bats and finished his career with a record 762 HR. I'd argue he's the greatest ever, but the last 3rd of his career (already a hall of famer) is clouded by steroid usage (which was common in that era.
Please do a reaction to the 2019 Home Run Derby, I think you'll love it.
I'll put it on my list!
I don't know if it's too long but there are several videos out of the Washington National's amazing 2019 run to World Series championship . The first half of their season was dismal but the come back was thrilling. I sure hope you can react to it. I've been waiting for someone to do a reaction to it.
The best hitters in the MLB usually have a rate of 1 homerun in about every 10-12 at bats.
2:57 sounded like a pistol!😂
Great home run hitters will hit a home run 1 out of 3-4 games or about 12-16 at bats. But that’s really only the greats. 20 at bats for solid sluggers.
Perfect perfect swing sound in the show be like
You should react to the worst mlb swings, it is so funny
I’ll put it on my list!
So a batting average of .300 or better is gonna put you in the top 10 for the year. So the best of the best only get on base 3 out of every 10 at bat chances. And that’s a single base hit, double, triple, or home run all counts the same
Good news - the KC Royals are featured in this video! Bad news - they're usually the ones giving up the homers! I'm sorry - just a bit sad, from my standpoint. Actually, homeruns occur on average I'd like 2-3 times in any given game, but it's not like every third time at bat. More like 1/12 or 1/20 at bats.
Yeah 1/15 sounds about right, have home runs become more common than in the past?
@@kabirconsiders I don't know about that. I do know that there were some controversy a few years ago because there were a lot of 'em, & there were charges of people, 'juicing the balls'. Turns out that it wasn't the balls, it was the bats - they'd changed to type of wood the bats were made of, & the balls were flying farther because of it. I'm not sure how they've resolved all of that, though.
Hockey sub here enjoying the recent baseball videos!
thanks brother!
you should react to the weekend series the Red Sox and Yanks played in London back in 2019
i'll put it on my list!
@@kabirconsiders awesome! 😁
Did you ever noticed that the NY Yankees are the only MLB team that doesn't have player's names on the back of their jerseys?
Red Sox never used to as well.
The Giants don't have names on their home jerseys.
@@corvus1374 now they do
@@lwmarts They've been doing it for years.
@@corvus1374 they had no names on the home jerseys for 20 years until this year, added names to the home
One in 14 is great. 1 in 12 is amazing.
Kabir you should react to college home run is very loud because is aluminum bat
I didn’t know the used aluminium bats in college, I’ll put it on my list thanks for the recommendation!
I would recommend to watch this video or anything other before pandemic m.ruclips.net/video/xEBTx_zsFuI/видео.html
Mike Trout hits a home run for every 15 at bats. Mark McGwire holds the record with a home run for every 11 at bats. That's for a career.
One of my freaking fav Simpsons clips is McGwire hitting some "dingers!" lmao. Him vs Sosa were some great times.
Would you say Mike is the best in the game at the moment, regarding hitting homers?
@@kabirconsiders Oh man! You really want to stir that pot!? lol
@@kabirconsiders He is definitely in the mix, but Trout is an anomaly because he is what we call a "five tool player". Meaning he can hit for average, hit for power, run, throw and field. He is the total package. He may not be the best homer guy but he does everything above average.
Price Fielder hit the catwalk .. but his daddy Cecil used to hit it over the 3rd deck roof at Tigers Stadium. It's too bad these videos don't even look at the 80's and 90's ..... or earlier hitters.
I agree. These baseball videos on RUclips only focus on recent highlights and players. There's tons of great baseball highlights going back to the 1950s.
If a player plays in all 162 games in a season (rare) and gets 3 at bats per game (MLB average) in every game, that’s 486 at bats in a season. And if he’s a HISTORICALLY GREAT power hitter he’ll turn ~50 of those at bats in to home runs
A great home run year will see a guy hitting a home run about 1 out of every 10/12 at bats.
Oh wow, so it’s pretty difficult!
The Best home Run Hitters average between 1 homer every 12-15 at bats or so. So yeah, it's incredibly hard lmao
Your typical power hitter in the MLB will average around 30 homeruns per season. With the length of the season that about 5 homers a month. So give or take, one homer every 6 games or so. When Barry Bonds hit 73 in one season he more than doubled that rate.
It's about 1 in 8 or 1 in 10
In baseball a ".300" hitter is considered to be above average. A .300 hitter gets a hit 3 times every 10 at bats... what other profession, in or out of sports, are you considered to be really good when you fail 7 out of 10 times?
The best home run hitters will hit a home run on average every 15 times at bat.. the all time greats hit a home run every 11 or 12 at bats.
Gotta react to barry bonds the best slugger ever
I’ve put him on my list!
The MLB season lasts 162 games. Each player gets approximately 4 at-bats per game. Allowing for a few missed games due to injury, suspension, etc, a good starting player will get about 600 at-bats per season.
The record for home runs in a season is over 70. That is tainted in the eyes of many because the players who have achieved that mark were found to have used steroids and other PEDs.
Babe Ruth held the record (60) for decades until Roger Maris hit 61 in the very early 1960's. Again, many purists devalued the accomplishment because Ruth had established his mark when the season was slightly shorter.
Maris's record stood for over 35 years until 1998 when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa both surpassed it. That race to catch Maris captured the national consciousness at the time, but was the subject of scandal when the steroid angle was exposed. Players were actually subpoenaed to testify before the US Senate.
I'm sure there are videos on the home run chase and resulting scandal. Might be interesting fodder for you.
Is the homerun chase the same thing as the homerun derby? If so quite few people have suggested it, must be good!
@@kabirconsiders
The home run derby is a skill competition prior to the All Star Game.
The Chase is the media-given name for the 1998 season during which two players eclipsed a record, thought to be nearly unbreakable, which had stood since 1961.
Upon reflection, it was obvious that steroid use amongst baseball players was rampant across MLB. Sosa, for instance, had never hit more than 40 home runs. Suddenly, he hit 66.
McGwire, for his part, was always a power hitter and a large man. But, in 1998, he was enormous. Her wouldn't have looked out of place in any NFL locker room. When he held the bat, it looked like a child's toy. It wasn't just that he hit 70 home runs... he was hitting the ball into orbit.
Baseball came down fairly hard on steroids. Instantly, home run totals fell dramatically.
Nevertheless, it was dramatic to watch two charismatic, beloved, genuinely nice guys run down a hallowed record. The 1998 baseball season was one of the most memorable in history.
you should react to broken bats, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Sounds like it’ll be a fun video! I’ll put it on my list
@@kabirconsiders and blue comet productions n&w 611 videos. One of the prettiest steam engines here in America
And the daylight
Is music to my ear
Absolutely, that sound is so satisfying!
Few things sweeter than the crack of a bat.
Super satisfying sound
5:30 the best batters have a 1 in 3 chance of a hit, not a home run. the best power hitters can hit a home run around 1 in 10-15
Oh wow, I didn’t realise it was that hard!
@@kabirconsiders thats around 1 in 2-3 games and thats for players that hit like 45 home runs in a season. the average is 20.
Nah, the best home run hitters in a season hit 40+ home runs. Normally around a dozen or less do it per season. And its not uncommon for as little as just 1 or 2 players in the sport to be the only ones to crack 40+ in a season. And on average they go up to bat 500-600+ times in a year. Giving them on average a 1-15 rate.
Some seasons there are players that hit 50, 60, or even 70+ home runs in that same span. Uping that rate to as high as 1-8
ahhh i think i confused percentage of making contact with the ball and making a homerun

Confession, this is so wrong, but when I see the Astros players in clips I automatically think "he's cheating!" Pitching, hitting, eating a hot dog, sneezing.....anything.
😂😂 they’ve really trashed their reputation haven’t they!
Kabir, have you ever heard of Tony Gwynn?
I havent! Is he a comedian?
@@kabirconsiders No, he played in the MLB. One of the greatest hitters of my generation. If you search for him on RUclips you’ll find a lot of great videos of him. He’s my favorite professional athletes not only for what he did on the field, but what he did off. He played right field his whole Career for the San Diego Padres. Amazing athlete and human being. May I email you?
Don't even need this. Just watch a compilation of Barry Bonds greatest and you're good to go.
Yeah I hear Barry was a freak of nature when it came to homeruns
Ay man, gonna check out Dark Skies channel sometime soon? I have one recommended u should check out on their channel, the XP-79 Flying Ram. As well don’t forget that YF-23. As well as u can make a vid of some other aircraft ur interested in on the channel! ;D

Do you guys place baseball in Britain? Like I mean as we do?
Not really, its doesnt get any publicity here
@@kabirconsiders the atmosphere is second to none tbh
I don't know of anyone that hits one in 6 for homeruns. Probably the best only hit 1 in 10. But more likely 1 in 20 was a home run. Monsters like you are seeing hit is this video would be even more rare. Sometimes you will see a batter hit 2 in one game (4 at bats on average) & I do remember one player (maybe multiple players?) hit 3 in one game. Power hitters many times go in streaks. 2 in a game then nothing for the next 2 weeks. Hitting in general is a streaky process not just home runs.
One in 6 home runs......records shattered at that point
When are we gonna see you play that guitar? lol
I had like two lessons then never picked it up again 😂
@@kabirconsiders lmao I took a class in school but mine just gathers dust now too
If you like homeruns check Josh Hamilton in the 2008 homerun derby.

KABIR - you should watch the king of the hill no one wants to respect for any number of reasons - Barry Bonds - the homerun king whether you like it or not ruclips.net/video/pd9DSngkusk/видео.html
I maybe biased, but baseball has some of the most satisfying sounds in sports. Especially when a ball hits a bat (both metal & wooden), and a thrown ball lands in a baseball glove.
