Joey Gallo: I protected Bryce Harper in our 8-year-old baseball team's lineup | MLB on ESPN

Joey Gallo gives an interview during Texas Rangers batting practice, talking about his 2019 MLB All-Star Game home run, the art of bunting, growing up in Las Vegas playing for Kris Bryant's dad and alongside Bryce Harper, when he had his growth spurt, his batting practice strategy, possibly participating in a Home Run Derby, and more.

“When’s the last time you bunted” “Literally the last game” Awkward silence lol

[@stephenperez5871]

Treycoyne12 Shows that they don't pay attention to Texas. Then act like they are being funny trying to get him.

[@theriotartist]

Internal Screaming

[@kiesch2376]

“Thanks for keeping up” lmao

[@thedotmandoob]

“Im not buying that” 😂😭

[@ryanharlowbass]

Bro he was clowning the reporter

[@jackreynolds9598]

I would like to see Gallo do you really well. He's one of the coolest, down to earth guys in the MLB. "When's the last time you bunted?" "Literally the last game. Sunday. Thanks for keeping up." lol

[@smithfan22]

At least Gallo is honest. He played really dumb his first two years relying on just god given power. Now hes playing smarter and learning the game. If he reaches his full potential he could be special. Time will tell

[@MuthafuckinPuddings]

Very true. His numbers are scary this year and he's only 24. Kept the power while also hitting for good average and a good OBP. He still strikes out a lot, but who doesn't these days. Still not sure if he'll be able to keep this up, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[@CanadaMMA]

He really seems to have taken a step forward in pitch recognition this season. He is still a three true outcomes guy. He is never going to be a BABIP monster. But he is getting onbase this season at a .400 clip, and might crack 40 HR for the year. I'll take 9 of those guys please.

[@MuthafuckinPuddings]

@@CanadaMMA who cares about BABIP? That stat is pretty much meaningless. Mike trout has a career low BABIP this year, yet he's having his best year. The stat is completely random.

[@CanadaMMA]

@@MuthafuckinPuddings For some players, it means a lot more than others. When you're a three true outcomes guy like Gallo, it's not that important. However, look at a guy like Jose Altuve. A career BABIP of .337, well above the league average for the time he is playing in. This season though, his BABIP is down around .275 and his production is suffering as a result. BABIP is useful when you can look at a players career BABIP over a long enough sample size, and then compare it to a short term change. It can tell you what type of hitter they are, and whether or not they might be injured or getting unlucky.

[@dietpoweraids2269]

Please do more stuff like this. I feel like simple videos like this could easily help grow the MLB. I love these

[@user-hx9nw4wk3z]

Diet Poweraids yea

[@braemar_q4748]

Played against these two when I played travel ball when they were on Desert Storm as kids, it wasn’t a good time lol. They were always humble and down to earth, respect.

[@KM-je6bf]

500+ strikeouts right there

Joey Gallo, Bryce Harper, and Kris Bryant, Las Vegas is looking pretty damn good!

[@benjaminpaad5152]

ATalkingBadger and fuzzy

[@brettpowell642]

As a Rangers fan who was never been that big of a fan of Gallo, I'm really proud of his increase and maturity. I always thought he was okay. Enjoyed watching him hit bombs, but the fact that he has worked so hard this year and offseason has really paid off and I'm extremely happy for him. If he can hit .250 with 40 hr and .350 OBP, I'd be extremely pleased.

[@jackburke2579]

“Nomar hit “505”, do you feel the need to beat that?” “I already did.”

[@markellefultzeatingasugarc9327]

DANGGG

[@qthelost]

That's why he also said Statcast hates me. He's talking about the time he hit a HR in the Rangers park where no one had ever hit it before. Everyone in the dugout was waiting to see how far over 500 it was. Statcast said it was 467 or something. An independent study showed it was more like 510.

[@ShooterSanoff]

This guy is so down to earth pretty cool

[@Zack-hi2kx]

GAllos dad was my pitching . Greatest coach I ever had.

[@WesleyParksTTV]

I took him to win MVP off the bench during the ALL-STAR game smh gave it to Bieber who struck out the side but Chapman did the same to win the game by 1 run which was Joey’s Homerun ...

[@tobinbilotta1480]

@@dietpoweraids2269 lol ignorance

[@iansatrom4259]

As a nats fan, I’m happy he signed the contract with the Phillies as, at the moment he’s not doing too great.

[@iansatrom4259]

Anthony Joines he leads the Phillies in those catagories. He has the second biggest contact ever, but doesn’t lead in the top 25 in any offensive category.

[@anthonyjoines6578]

@@iansatrom4259 wrong, hes top 15 in RBI and top 25 in on base pct

Hmmm...Bryce Harper is almost 13 months older than Joey. How could they have been on the same 8y.o. team together? I guess Joey could have been "playing up" but that doesn't seem to make sense.
