Alek Manoah strikes out THREE while being MIC'D UP in the All-Star Game!! He is must-listen!

[@haroldbrown6630]

I love this guy. Man. Intense and focused and so chill.

[@howdareyou41]

He's been my fav since his debut. This dude has flirted with so many no-nos... only a matter of time until he tosses one.

[@JayAyers]

Was thinking last night "I've never heard of this dude, yet I feel like I should buy his jersey". He's so good (Maddux-lile movement but with Ryan's explosiveness) and has a chillax personality. A great guy to follow in the league.

[@chucker625]

This was one of my favorite 'live on TV' baseball moments in memory..... My 6 year old instantly became a huge Manoah fan. He has been throwing whiffle balls at me saying 'by youuuu' all day. He just dug through all of his 2022 Topps and was super pumped to find a Manoah Future Stars card. Take notes MLB.... That is how you attract young fans.

MLB great job putting the MIC on him. Best segment of the game! Very cool...as I have always wondered what was going through a big league pitchers mind while on the mound! After this, I am now a HUGE Alek Manoah fan! Great job by him...what a great kid! Very fun to watch!

[@LaureusSport]

Exceptional pitching from Manoah! 🤩 Really cool to occasionally gain additional insight into a player's thoughts and strategies when you can hear them in the midst of the action! Great highlights!

[@sincman]

Oh man that was so fun! I watch Manoah mouth moving on the mound all the time and to be able to hear what he's saying is so cool!

[@SeahawksBamBamKam]

I'm just gonna say this and it's True this Mic thing makes baseball more interesting and watchable than ever and I know its only a All-star game but you wanna be as popular as the NFL you might wanna start doing this regularly

[@SynchrosSynchros]

Was hilarious to watch/listen to the mic'd up banter, awesome pitching performance, but the best was how much Alek gave Captain Kirk the accolades for pitch calling and framing and even trapping that foul tip. These guys in their early 20s! And they look like any dude you see in a bar having a pint!

#1 reason why I respect baseball all star game. It's never a scoring fest like all these other sports

[@RedDotInABlueState91]

When players are mic'd up in makes it so much more entertaining because you are able to get to understand not only the inner workings of how the game is played deeper in strategy but also you can feel connected with your favorite players. MLB needs to do it more often.

I played Alek in high school at southdade high. A lot of people don't know he's a 2 way player. In games he would hit 400ft bombs with a wooden bat. His size was also crazy he was 6'6 280 his junior year, he lost some weight coming to the big leagues.
