MLB's Most Clutch Player is About to Break Out

[@ej4094]

As a twins fan I am severely depressed rn

[@cheetofingersbum]

Don't worry. He will be back. At least Buxton is looking good

[@TerryBerryKix]

Sure would be nice if the Twins wouldn’t go 0-12 risp.

[@PantyDrant]

How bout now

[@JamesMeza-fl3ok]

As a Minneapolis resident it’s really depressing witnessing this

[@wesleythetrombonist]

He did… and then immediately got hurt again :(

[@Brz99988]

There are 2 reasons why I love Saturdays 1. No school 2. New jolly video

[@nickkausch1107]

Olive is a great writer and elite narrator

[@JollyOlive]

Thank you!

[@CCDaDon15]

@@JollyOlive I agree with Nick. Your writing especially is top tier. You’re at the top of your game.

[@TheBrokenJester]

Hang in there Jolly. I just hit the age that ALL of the MLB players are younger than me. Great vids as always.

[@FlatPlutoSociety]

If no one signs Rich Hill this season, that's it for me, too. He and Nelly Cruz were the only ones older than me last season.

[@McDee]

he just hit a homerun in his first plate appearance of the season then got injured rounding the bases after trying to score on a correa hit

[@TryPuttingItInRice]

5:45 Meanwhile, SDS gives Royce an 80 clutch rating despite these absolutely mind boggling stats

[@theirishman6825]

Pablo and Royce may have the current “Best Bald Teammates Duo” but it will be hard to top the late early 1900’s duo Skeech “Turtle” Williams, and Homer “The Lightbulb” Harrelson.

[@ericchad7432]

Why did you do this to Twins fans?

[@backsgl]

For those who may be wondering: The all time grand slam record is currently held by Mr. Timberwolves owner himself, Alex Rodriguez, with 25 in his career. He beat the old record held by Lou Gehrig (23) in 2013. For a single-season record, that belongs to both Don Mattingly and Travis Hafner, who both hit 6 grand slams in 1987 and 2006 respectively. Royce Lewis hit 5 in his 2023 season. He’s already 20% of the way to the all-time record. Now I’m not saying he’ll beat it for sure. Anything can and will happen in baseball. But wouldn’t it be awesome if he did? However, us Twins fans have been down this road before with Byron Buxton. One of the most talented players in the game... but also a glass cannon. Undeniable impact when he isn't riddled with injuries. I'm going into the season cautiously optimistic. Obviously thrilled if he performs the way he did last year (I was even at Target Field on day 2 of back-to-back grand slam games!) but I am expecting a little regression, if only because it's a long season and so much can happen

[@daryldixon3685]

Also Fernando Tatis SR hit two grand slams in the same inning for the Cardinals!

[@Plowboy42]

Okay man

[@wyatt1dog716]

Tlnr

[@backsgl]

UPDATE: looks like the deal that would have sold the Timberwolves to the investor group that included A-Rod has fallen apart, so I guess he’s no longer “Mr. Timberwolves Owner.”

[@andrewmarchetti4813]

lol seeing this on opening day where he gets hurt again

[@abarasch523]

New jolly video means everything is fine for about 10 minutes today

[@armthesharks6904]

A whole extra 3 minutes today

[@briang2472]

Another great video, Jolly. I love baseball, and your vids are like shots of adrenaline for me.

[@garrettharinen6149]

You. You did this.

[@Jasonwfd]

From now on, every Jolly Olive video needs a "sorry Trev" moment. Listen I don't make the rules

[@justareyesmedia3750]

That pic of Trev when showing the Twins record setting losing season is nasty work, but hilarious 😂

[@henrybednar9832]

Coming back after the injury to say that this is all somehow Happy Grape’s fault

[@TheTEN24]

Him and Buxton got crazy talent but rarely stay healthy. If they can stay on the field the twins will be really good

[@stu8095]

Aaaaaand he's gone

[@FTLnovaKid]

Wow, didn’t expect this. But I am glad. 😤 More people need to know about his greatness.

[@mrx7181]

“greatness”. he has 250 career plate appearances of overperforming his expected stats by a wide margin. hop off his nuts. i see you in every comment section and youre annoying as hell. there is no way to mute you so could you do me a favor and block me? thanks.

[@thetoemater1877]

praying for royces leg

[@wegotice]

Banger

[@tobiasfunke3357]

*Byron Buxton 2.0. Super talented but made out of glass* He's already hurt after 1 game.

[@MLCommy]

Thanks for talking about a Twins player and making me LOL at your Dad humor.

[@rs5pdx]

I know the context is the most clutch now, but the most clutch hitter of all time was Mr. Padre Tony Gwynn, and it isn't even close...RIP TG19 keep wearing out the 5.5

[@MC_Tickle]

He’s hurt 😔

[@taylorflowers4598]

This didn't age super well

[@EtaM29]

My favorite baseball KZbinr talking about my favorite team and player sounds like an amazing time to me

[@nerdpocketcards]

I think it’s important to mention he hit another grand slam in spring training this year!!

[@CharChar-yp9br]

When I was a little kid and Royce was still with the Cedar Rapids Kernels, he was my best friend. My grandparents were in the host family program and this dude was so cool. I remember messing around with him and the 2 other players, and watching him play.

[@sun6262-]

6:16 i thought this was a keeps ad

[@nathanrojas7725]

You are next level my boy. Great narrating and I’m happy for your insight for my fantasy league. Tired of getting 8th of 12 total every season hahaha

[@emperorpalpatine1228]

Man, people don't realize how rough baseball is on the knees. Him & Buxton are my favorite Twins but I hope they can stay healthy because both of them are superstars.

[@greenebeane7]

Aaand he’s injured

[@nikbudig3883]

Yo why was this promoted today... why do they always hurt us

[@TryPuttingItInRice]

I agree. If Royce hasn't opened eyes after last year, this year would be the year his name gets out there.

[@jeffreymerlino4613]

All Royce needs to add to his game is some hair implants and he can become the face of the league!

[@briang2472]

As long as he brings back those frosted tips. 😂

[@Zoggosh]

That and a translator who hammers the over

[@tonyhill1141]

Brutal. Lol

[@arrsequoia4087]

Well then, I didn’t think I’d read the dumbest thing on the internet today, but here we are.

[@Zoggosh]

@@arrsequoia4087 it doesn’t have to be true to be funny

[@Glitzburg]

I think you jinxed him

[@NMRsports]

I went to his 7th birthday party at Angel Stadium and played T-Ball with him (I was the star of the team)

[@nathanadams9480]

7:52 Was that a team baggage reference/dig 👀

[@70Landon421]

Brother called it, as of this comment, dude has a 1.300 ops, crazy.

[@Changsnoop]

After Cy Youngs, watch Jolly go on another multi-year run for predicting MVPs...

[@Dude2618]

I’m 25 and graduated same year of high school as Lewis. I played 2 years of juco. It’s insane seeing younger guys now ball out at such. Younger age on the biggest stage

[@rickybobbysdriver555]

Always cool to learn about a new player to look out for. In the rare chance I catch a twins game this year, I'll keep my eye out for this player.

[@816DawG]

This Royals diehard drafted him in my first Baseball Fantasy draft... So I for one am rooting for him!

[@Redsox4444443]

Well, Jolly, the whole “all players are younger than me” thing just gets worse.

[@jacklongar4072]

Guardians legends Yandy Diaz and Nolan Jones mentioned 🗣️🔥

[@brettfoss1670]

As of today, this video has aged so well... batting .348 with 10 HRs in 66 ABs.

[@brianfeingold2277]

Great video Jolly !! Man could be a problem this year!

[@simianlife5949]

Whoever's designing the Twins unis is doing it right. Those away grays are sweet.

[@jasonnokes7426]

Love your videos Jolly. Hope you keep them coming forever! 🤣 Also I would love to see a video on Matt Cain's career. Feel like he's one of the most overlooked and underrated pitchers of his era.

[@someguy_8869]

As a Twins/Royce fan: Video comes out: we are BACK Royce gets hurt 5 days later: it's over Now: we are SO back

[@Shyny_Yordy]

Aww! Jolly is just now getting to the age where star players are younger than him. I had that same feeling when Shohei Ohtani signed a $700 million contract 🥲 lol

[@westcoast-bj7fb]

Heard ohtani took the umder on Royce being mvp

[@westcoast-bj7fb]

@GoofMinion24 And?

[@asdfaeou]

What is it with the bottom halves of Twin players??

[@MChuck-]

And he got hurt on opening day. Hopefully it's not serious.

[@DarkCabin]

Me and Royce Lewis share a birthday

[@BigStauffJr]

Dude I fucking feel that wholeheartedly about the players ages 🤣 I just turned 25 and seeing these 21 22 year olds out there is ridiculous

[@2013claybuchholz]

New jolly video :😊😊😊😊 Hiroshima: 😮😮😮😮😮

[@Goucherent]

9:31 I'm getting to that age (Wander made me realise that) and it is a big trigger in my 20-years-old crisis

[@caleykruse9852]

Love the vid As a Twins fan I'm biased but I think if Royce stays healthy he's gonna be a superstar

[@Snazzeo]

The Cy young streak is broken but the MVP streak begins now

[@eatthejackson6417]

What do you mean

[@lucmcdowell1167]

Drafted Royce Lewis on my fantasy team and I’m a White Sox fan. This guy should be good

[@thedoor43]

Thanks Jolly, this video helped get through a rough 12 minute dump

[@andypham7993]

Jarred Kelenic next plz ;)

[@kevinhu7684]

Love the tangential bald player comic relief. Free associative funnies all around!

[@beauchang4741]

you can't stop it... you just feel slightly better getting to now call them "kids"

[@joshuasimmons512]

The mlb power pros 2008 music is elite

[@jdh91599]

It’s crazy the potential this twins team has if everybody stays healthy

[@ericchad7432]

I'm of the age where I'm hoping Rich Hill signs so that I'm not older than EVERY MLBer.

[@smnbrgss]

I’m so happy to have been at the curse breaking game!

[@ayewreckz7004]

jolly with the jinx 😭

[@Papichunk]

Well this aged poorly

[@ericsimon1947]

Hilarious to me how many of these highlights came against the white sox. If Royce played 162 against just them he’d go for bonds’s records

[@jacksonpowers3947]

Jolly as a hopeful twins fans I really hope you don’t jinx us for Royce Lewis, we’ve gone through this too much with buxton already.

[@hanky1502]

We need a triston McKenzie breakout vid

[@dashpratt4097]

Guys a stud

[@thegoat_3346]

I like Edouard Julien over lewis

[@mikestager9509]

It only gets worse Jolly, I'm the age where pro athletes think about retirement after at least a dozen year long career.

[@AlanForest]

David Ortiz the top name that comes to mind when I see the word clutch

[@kaieastwood3373]

Jolly showing off his elite ball knowledge.

[@Tmuells]

My man at least wait for opening day😭😭

[@ligomi]

Dude, wait until coaches and managers are younger than you .....that's a level of sad I never predicted

[@HondaCivictor]

Super scared having him on my fantasy team this year but at least he's fun to root for

[@kurtwagner350]

His comeback has been impressive so far

[@jroggs85]

Great video. If the key contributors stay mostly healthy, the Twins' line-up looks outstanding this year. Unfortunately, that is a huge, huge "if."

[@miketoonice]

Took him in fantasy. Hoping for a healthy year

[@AdamGFilm]

Royce is the freakin man! And he has a smile of an angel 😇

[@mateoencinas2000]

Not mentioning puig is crazy

[@benjaminwagner4597]

This aged like milk 😢 hopefully his injury is minor and he can come back and play a mostly complete season

[@mpaulm]

9:35, dude, I’m at the age where I have seen players today fathers play in the majors.😏 Go Jays.👍

[@OhAnd]

Royce will be one of the faces of the league if he can be healthy consistent

[@ofubalocmac]

tyler jay is actually with the mets aaa team, not indy ball!

[@BrianVerbaken]

Baseball Bits did a whole video on how being clutch is just luck and you think it’s a skill?

[@RockiesCanada]

High level Rockies shirt we have an ally in new york 🤝

[@Ryski74]

The league would be a better place if Lewis and Buxton could just stay healthy. Would be an incredible 1/2 into the lineup

[@andrewaaberg482]

Royce Lewis is the MOST exciting part of the Twins, which is a really depressingly low bar but I'm still gonna watch them BECAUSE OF LEWIS!!! (Grew up watching Puckett in the Metrodome and I'm about ready to give up on the whole organization)

[@ChrisHanel]

You better believe it

Hey bro can you do benito santiago highlights that would be dope! Thanks 🙏🏽
