Awesome story

[@alexanderchoi1361]

no

[@SportStorm23]

Thanks MLB

[@maxsilverstone8600]

@MLB Can you confirm? Did he get a ring?

[@robbyc408]

It's good to see MLB encouraging these stories instead of shutting them down

[@milopop0006]

plz give Venters a ring

[@metsfan7376]

Daniel Nava is all about overcoming adversity just like Venters. He was cut from his HS team,washed uniforms after being cut from his college team,went to junior college and became an All American,tried out with an independent team got cut,signed with the independent team later on,signed with Red Sox to minor league deal. He got called up in 2010 and hit a grand slam on the first pitch he ever saw in the bigs. Nava ended up as a WS champ and played 7 years in the bigs. He’s back in Independent ball trying to make it back to the MLB once again.

[@joshsmith6923]

I used Venters all the time in the Show, as my set up man.

[@MatthewKonvict]

Dudes amazing man I love Atlanta an this guy could sit them down!

[@raypavey1102]

Hes a good set up guy

[@brettrossi034]

O'Flaherty, Venters, Kimbrel. That back 3 from the bullpen were pretty wild for Atlanta.

[@christopherferreras4606]

"He did what any competent pitcher can do and that's to make Chris Davis ground out" LMAO GOOD ONE!

[@stanchick1956]

red sox should offer venters a one year deal, lord knows we need the bullpen help

[@jadegrace1312]

Bullpen is much better off than starting pitcher

[@sspaceboyy8717]

Joshua Cohen except venters isn’t a starter?

[@jadegrace1312]

@@sspaceboyy8717 My point was that the bullpen is fine and the starting pitching is what needs work...

[@sportzkidz2076]

I liked talking to Venters when he was on the Nats. He was one of the Signature Sunday players and he would always say hello prior to the game at the players parking lot. Friendly dude

Can't wait for the Tony Gwynn video.

[@eviejhunt]

What an amazing story of an even more amazing young man! JV is as tough as they come! A true success story both as a professional and as an individual! Love you, Jonny!!!

[@ryanmack7781]

It leaves a man to think, what is his mlb the show durability rating

[@brianking2365]

Looking at '11 The Show its 67

[@DPK365]

Such a tough dude to come back from all that........seems like he kept positive through all of it. Good dude.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Venters just didnt wanna give up. I remember how dominant he was on my fantasy team in 2011 🤟

[@gavinkhoury3794]

great vid guys

[@ReeseAF]

I loved watching him play

[@danplewnarz]

Another member of the 2019 Nationals, Daniel Norris, had two TJ surgeries. Read "The Arm" by Jeff Passan, it's superb.

[@nicksportsandgaming6281]

best baseball youtube channel

[@mattanderson1608]

so inspiring

[@Aviator43]

You should do one for Aaron Barrett. His story is just as incredible

[@haseongpresident5327]

Aviator43 his story is amazing but it’s not as incredible because Venters was a useful player once he came back where as Barrett struggled

[@lchang1326]

@@haseongpresident5327 They are both productive.

[@haseongpresident5327]

Only Chang I wouldn’t say a 15 era is productive. All I’m saying is venters has been more successful since coming back to the majors

[@darkstar9751]

Dude I need baseball so fucking bad!!!

[@rolmodel12.]

Jose Rijo was the MVP of the 1990 World Series; when he silenced the bats of the Bash Brothers, along with AL MVP Ricky Henderson, and the HEAVILY favored Oakland Athletics juggernaut. The Reds stunned the A's, sweeping the defending champions, with Rijo winning two games. He was an oft-injured, yet multiple All-Star Game invitee. But, when I think 'Jose Rijo', the first thing that pops in my head, is the young ace of that upstart 1990 World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds team. Prob earned that one vote.

[@samwatters1652]

Cool momentary bliss sample

[@norcalroamer5774]

That Chris Davis burn lol

[@ryansutter4291]

I went to High School with Johnny, he was always a very talented athlete. If you think he was a good pitcher, you should've seen him play QB and run the triple option. When I was a freshman I was his backup QB for about a week and then switched to CB/S, he started at QB all four years and did that while he pitched year round throwing no-hitters left and right like it was nothing. A little fact: Jason Varitek, Felipe Lopez, Rickie Weeks, Jemile Weeks and Johnny Venters all came out of that high school. I imagine by now that Johnny's throwing arm has seen more than most human arms will ever see in any human lifetime....

[@pauldamm3345]

Thanks for never telling us what Tommy John surgery is!

[@mr.cocoapuff7109]

aye sport storm

[@itsscoutabout1729]

Johnny Venters did get a World Series ring in 2019

[@saxnable]

Great story! Just think about that for a second: For every one of these there are amateur athletes who go through a whole lot adversity and still perform in the sport they love without getting paid, and without beeing noticed.

[@steveperez178]

You guys gotta do a video on Daniel Hudson now!

[@Max4905.2]

Venters is getting a ring, he pitched 3 times for the Nats in 2019

[@BraxksSHORTS]

Love your vid and a really good vid btw first!!

[@devonrichardson4839]

My man Jarrod Parker back with the A's had to have like 3 tjs :(

[@robthagod4870]

So anyone who is on the team that wins the WS at any point that season gets a ring. Back in 2010, Bengie Molina started the year on the Giants and ended with the Rangers, those two teams met in the WS and he was going to get a ring regardless.

[@ironman0917]

Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

[@asherk5073]

Wow how do you get better with tommy John

[@yellowperson2892]

He got lucky that almost 4th time. It’s nice he got a ring.

[@zac5855]

Imagine facing Thanos coming back through AA in a rehab start…

[@zac5855]

he plays for SF, obviously

[@Admm744]

How many draft rounds does the mlb have

[@MemestiffGaming]

I hope the O's pick him up, he'll probably become our best pitcher

[@matt2906683]

1:34 TJS Surgery? Perhaps redundant?

[@tylerfrancescone8683]

I hope Chris Sale comes back strong like Venters

[@asherk5073]

I hope he gets to go to a team

[@fishingthelist4017]

I fondly remember the days when the Braves took a lead into the seventh and O'ventbrel would shut down any team out there.

[@jacobredmond4127]

My brother got a ball signed by Johnny and it’s signed 3.5 tommy john

[@BrightHornet936]

Wtf Chad fox

[@aaronchapman3]

Did we ever find out for certain whether Jonny got a ring or not? 🤞🤞

[@willm.6618]

His fastball was borderline unhittable. The arm side run he had from a mid-90s fastball was absolutely disgusting.

[@korn.on.jacob.]

Satchel Paige has entered the chat.

[@jacobbyers7914]

I wouldn't say it "worked out" for Masahiro Tanaka. Yes he's been successful, but nowhere really near as good as his rookie season and (ostensibly) his time in Japan.

[@carterfogarty4875]

no dislikes

[@joshuapatrick682]

Can steroids reduce the need for surgery for athletes? If so, there’s a serious case for allowing them.

[@SupahFans]

Google "Tommy John Jr NPR interview" so that you can learn how the family is disappointed to know that their family name is now known for a "borderline cheating system" in which hundreds of high school kids and their coaches wannnnt Tommy John Surgery since so many pitchers bounce back stronger, more resilient + more velocity. 😳

[@johnedwardsdemarcus2743]

Hehe

[@nickherrera524]

[@gwaptiva]

Don't agree with the "suffer TJS"... TJS is an enabling surgery; before it, players just had to retire, now with TJS they have a chance to continue their careers.
