19-year-old Ugandan baseball player tapped for MLB draft league

[@Nick9Three]

Sometimes, hard work does pay off. He’s a testament to it and I wish him nothing but the best.

[@four4eyes]

Outstanding, thanks to everyone who made this dream Happen .😅

[@yamyamyams2629]

His dedication got me choked up a bit.

[@VitalityMassage]

What a great story! I hope he makes it!

[@YouTube_is_full_of_trolls]

This makes me so happy. Even if he does nothing, he has inspired me and thousands or millions of others. I take so much for granted here, and we all do, but this is a reminder of what a paradise we have.

[@kiraward1125]

I hope he gets drafted to a major team.

[@Melbester9]

He got drafted by Baseball United the new Baseball pro League in Middle East

[@chriszenko3598]

Great story wish him great success

[@raulgarcia3698]

I want this kid to make it.

[@danakesyt]

Same

[@jackmehoff6881]

He just wants to take care of his family and friends. Amazing kid!

[@ABSG7]

Goodluck kid!!!

[@jefestar]

Omg he’s here in Frederick

[@Bailemos888]

19, you sure, looks 40 but wishing him much success.

[@ongogablogian617]

This is a great story, but nothing is really being done for baseball in Uganda as a whole; they're qualifying for world cups at multiple age levels and can't attend due to lack of funds and investment, and there's not a whisper about it anywhere.

[@multiyapples]

I want him to play in the mlb.

[@brandonc5965]

But he can actually play due to him making his own bat

[@brandonc5965]

Wow he put in some work they made a movie kinda like this couple years back i watched that was like this story

[@Jellyf4m]

What’s the movie called

🎉🎉🎉 Yayyyy God 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉♥️ God always wins ❤️

[@ForeverYoung-fc3eo]

That's not a 19 year old

[@amansaa4681]

Do you watch American College football? Most of them look older than their age.

[@lawbsk1048]

Just because you had everything on the table doesn’t mean everyone else did

[@jrb281]

What makes you say that?

[@Jorde-u4u]

Little envious? Aren't you a ray of sunshine. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@amosculbreth5308]

❤ truly inspiring

[@glodyngeyitala7486]

This man is not 19

[@Jorde-u4u]

😂😂😂 little envious ray of sunshine? 😂😂😂😂

[@el8233]

No way at all. He at least 40

[@actualityfilms]

Great story. But I have my doubts he's 19 years old. It's like the Freddy Auou story in soccer. He said he was 14 but was really 19.

[@poorrandall8982]

i was born in 1985, if this man is 19 I am also 19.

[@robertramos2385]

America the great

[@yolienyc]

God is good.

[@reignlove8741]

He looks 29 YEARS old???🤔

[@amansaa4681]

Some college sport players in the USA look older than their stated age too

[@jrb281]

Kid lost both his parents at a young age and growing up in extreme poverty in a 3rd world country....yeah that can age a person quickly.

[@sangbongoh579]

응원합니다

[@vendettaa88]

19??? ... try 39

[@tyronehilljr9921]

U know these kids racist behind the scenes

[@Jorde-u4u]

Wishing Dennis a well deserved success. ❤❤❤🫂 🙏

[@joecurry382]

He's 19 ok but great job to start out playing baseball I used to grab branches and swing at rocks myself good job

[@blackrocks8413]

so people still watch baseball.... ? huh...

[@joecurry382]

Yes

[@reignlove8741]

He is an AFRICAN and will be SHOWING his AZZ and talking down to BLACK AMERICANS. I don’t like AFRICANS in AMERICA.🤔

[@taylorhession1905]

I would say that its because they stay out of controversy but the dodgers fixed that. 😂

[@Reignado]

Bruh, around 60-70 million people in Japan watched the Team USA vs Japan 2023 World Baseball Classic finals.
