I can’t wait for him to go to the HOF and give his emotional speech: “Thank you”.

no athlete more embodies the term “unapologetically himself” like greinke does. one of my favorite athletes ever

[@lorimeyers3839]

His 2015 season was truly incredible. I remember being 14 years old when Greink made his debut for KC. Now I’m 34 and the dude is still in the bigs. Lol

[@adamkramer3259]

2015 was a crazy year. Kershaw won 3 of the previous 4 Cy Youngs, went 16-7 with a 2.13 ERA, lead the league in IP, K, and FIP. . . and finished 3rd in Cy Young voting, and you cant even say he was robbed. Greinke and Arrieta were SO GOOD that year.

[@joshuapatrick682]

oh yeah...well Miggy Cabrera started MLB when I graduated high school....

[@BASEBALLfreakFORlife]

@@adamkramer3259one of the best cy young races ever. All 3 would’ve won in any other year

[@RootzRockBand]

I recall hearing a story that, at one point while on the Dodgers, Zack was mad at Puig for being late or some kind of drama, and proceeded to toss his bags of off the bus.

He's always had trouble finding a way to break the fire with his teammates, however he's been able to pull a complete 360 with this issue.

As a Royals fan, this man is and will forever be my favorite pitcher ever. Never afraid to be himself, on and off the field.

[@elasmojones]

Well....he also can't help it.

[@daBEAGLE1017]

I also as a Royals and Brewers fan.

[@jaytrace1006]

Royals fan as well. This guy is gold. While I imagine meeting him would be weird and anti-climatic, I would take the opportunity.

[@KyleKnoblauch]

I watched Zack throw 20 strikeouts for the Royals against the Indians in 2009, dude is definitely one of the most talented pitchers of all time and definitely a Hall of Famer. His mind for the game is also unlike any other player I've seen, in a way he's kind of like the Bill Belicheck(sp.) of baseball. And as someone who's biggest enemy is myself the majority of the time due to the myriad of mental health issues I deal with, being able to see Zack still put in work after almost 20 years while dealing with similar issues, makes him one of my biggest heroes in all of sports. Thanks for just being you, Zack! Go, Royals! 💙

[@-echoroads-5596]

As someone on the autism spectrum, I definitely get the feeling Greinke is as well. I'm guilty of a lot of the seemingly off-putting behavior as well, but it can just boil down to stress and fear of human interaction, or performing well in front of a crowd, etc.. that can lead to social anxiety and self doubt. Every time I hear Greinke speak, I'm further convinced he has ASD.

[@skinny2128]

i kinda thought this too, but i was like hmmm I'm thinking too much about this, about him being on the spectrum.

[@Daveeeeeeyhowyoudoing]

As someone with bipolar disorder, he probably BPD

[@aidenawe9359]

I see more SAD than ASD tbh.

[@SRTJamo]

@@DaveeeeeeyhowyoudoingI have borderline. He obviously has it, it’s glaring

[@Paul-os1fr]

I'm also on the spectrum and I've always liked Greinke for that reason. I mean maybe he doesn't have it, there's no way to be sure unless I know him personally. But I've always looked at him like, 'that's one of us. That's an extremely successful version of us'.

[@bdablader95]

Always been a fan of Zack, he reminds me of pro chess players, where's he an absolute genius with some serious talent, but he doesn't "play" he "preforms". His flip outs and weird habits line up with some of the greatest chess grandmasters in history.

[@dg2010ful]

My friend was at a D'Backs game and this dad got his attention and asked him to sign a ball for his daughter's b-day. He responded by shaking his head and returning to his conversation. 😂

[@gabrielkelly2631]

Shit I expect that from him. 😂😂😂

[@BigBoyJay_69]

8:24 That is the most savage story I have heard of Greinke. A pitcher telling you to just hit home runs like him. LMAO.

[@ramenlover1727]

Imagine if shohei went up to trout like that and said that lol

[@unchangedimage1603]

From all reports, particularly when he’s meeting young fans, he’s an incredibly lovely guy too.

[@joshuapatrick682]

dude...so close to 3,000. I think he, like Waino just spent 1 too many season in the game yet while I love and respect Adam Zack is a HOF level player.

[@michael_ssj2]

Zack: Do more of that Alex Gordon: 🧍‍♂️ Self-reflection isn’t easy, but it allows you to think critically and boost self-awareness. Greinke the GOAT!

[@skylaralley2465]

It’s honestly inspiring as someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder to see someone with Social Anxiety Disorder be in such a pressure filled position and be so successful at it

[@kickflip665]

I remember 2005 being at a Royals game. The BIG SCREEN showed him saying this guys gonna be future of pitching. I remeber thinking let's see what bro will become. Here I am 2024 watching videos about him

[@poindextertunes]

Definitely has a touch of the Tism Him and Trevor Bauer too

[@bakker25]

always been a fan of him, thanks for the video!

[@papabare1977]

I enjoyed watching him when he played for Houston. I even saw him live in Oakland, and he got the W.

[@melissamcgillivray]

Haha. Greinke with the Dodgers at a players meeting when they ask if anyone has anything to say,”It has come to my attention that some of you don’t wash you’re hands after using the bathroom. That’s gross.” Team, “Anything else?” …..Greinke”No.”

[@tleevz1]

I'm so glad he's been, and currently is, a Royal. I think the Alex Gordon story is my favorite one. There's still time to help other teammates out of their future slumps. It will work. How could it not?

[@carlthehipsterprepper4506]

I was at Zack's high school graduation. He went to high with my sister in law.

[@kennymkay]

Honorable mention of when he went and sat in the bleachers by himself during the Covid season with the Astros lol

[@kevinarthur8488]

He was pitching in detroit his 2nd to last start and I just had to be there to see him play in person. Plus I wanted to see one last rematch of miggy vs greinke and it was awesome! Got a couple cool videos on my phone too!

[@Josh-ut4wv]

i remember there was one game with Houston where he is pitching and then he talks to the catcher with the other teams batter in the batters box (i also think this was 2020 as well) and he just says all the pitches he was going to use and what signs that would be for fun.

[@Runesocesius]

Being from a software engineering i know alot of people like this. One of my friends had a very primising offer to an international research station only to deny it and go fry chicken because that was his true dream .

[@ryandude2448]

There's a movie, if I'm being honest it's not too great, called "A Mile in His Shoes." I personally liked the movie but the more I watched it the more I thought of Zach Grienke. And, if you've watched it or choose to watch it now, I mean that in the best way possible. Baseball needs more Grienkes.

[@GavinOCo]

8:07 You didn't explicitly say it was, but that wasn't Greinke's first at-bat. First game hitting, but 2nd AB

[@wingracer1614]

It was the way he said it, something like had his first at bat, THEN hit his first HR. He was saying it was his 2nd AB but didn't explicitly say it so easily confused.

[@marianorivera3272]

Another one who was ahead of his time. If he was rising up right now, they'd definitely groom him to be a 2 way player like Ohtani.

[@johnathanspore2378]

My favorite player of all time. He should have won the cy young in 2015. Jake only won because he had more wins. I'm probably wrong but I think that and SO were the only stats Jake had more of than Greinke.

[@johngonzalez6690]

I love Greinke and it hurts that we couldn’t win him a ring in 2019.

[@erichuntsman921]

I remember his response shortly after Mac said that to him. I was right there! Shortly after the door to Buddy's office was closed. Allard, Zack and Buddy in that room.

[@ahuman8657]

I wish we could see what his career woulda been like as a shortstop too.

[@m.o.5291]

Likely his social anxiety issues that made him react that way to being called up to the mlb. He's such a great example of what people can accomplish even on a huge public stage with those hardships

[@sorenludwig3978]

Ok, truly he absolutly has to become a hitting coach.

[@ErrorMessage01]

Greinke is the real life equivalent of an anime protagonist who is oblivious to the world but possesses unnatural powers.

The Dodgers flew to Australia in 2014 to open the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks...IMO....I believe Zach complained of back problems to before the trip...Being quite familiar with anxiety disorder with one of my daughters...The thought of flying over the ocean may have terrified him.

[@calen1]

I love your videos man, always informative and very well edited! the only piece of feedback I have is that your delivery is a bit repetitive, I think people refer to it as the "KZbinr accent".

[@TheodoreRizzo]

Reporter: how you feel about your performance today? Greinki: “good it was lot people there” 😂

[@willowsmith1262]

Excellent video!

[@danielcarneiro8312]

I think dude just wanted to play shortstop before he was dyagnosed with depression and social anxiety. But after that he probably just changed his mind and thought that it was something big to be a pitcher in the major leagues. In my eyes, he was just a lazy genius of an athlete, approaching votto like that and the fact that he didn't need to practice a lot of times the 2-seamer after not using it for years just shows what a talent he had, and how "lazy" he was

[@komickaze85]

He was great, he was weird, but I'm betting after a 1-15 season with a very high 5 plus ERA he'll probably retire. I guess that's why I used "was." He was really, really smart in a Rainman kind of way.

I appreciate that most of the big baseball channels are still uploading as if the playoffs weren't happening, but I notice theres an extremely stark amount of modern content, I would love to have daily, or even weekly topical videos discussing the interesting things of the playoffs, without the classic espn style talking head.

[@speedydozier9461]

His Ks are now really close to 3,000

[@somerandomguy5977]

He could've been a shortstop. If he had everyday batting reps he'd be a better hitter and as a pitcher he has an OPS in the .500s and we know he's an elite defender. Probably wouldn't've been as good but who knows. Either way he would've been a big leaguer.

[@BryceHarper34fan]
