I’d love to get the broken bat, I’d frame it up on my wall and you’ve inspired me and motivated me in athletics. I personally believe you will rise to the big leagues against the odds and I try to check your stats to see how you’re doing about once a week. I’m a big fan, and I’d love to get the bat, if I don’t it’s all good, I’ve been here since the beginning of your channel and I even got in a Q and A a while back, so I’m not gonna leave now.

[@curtreuscher1555]

I am so happy you are back, good luck this season, Let’s Get It

I'm long time subscriber, and I have honestly based my style of play off of yours. I've watched some of your highlights from the past few years, and I imitate your batting stance, and your intensity on and off the field. I would really love to have the broken bat with your name on it to look at every morning for inspiration just to keep going at it every day of my life, in anything I do.

[@williamreed5375]

Thanks for the videos, they have helped me show my 10 year old that plays on a travel ball teeam the work it takes to follow a dream. He as been blessed to have some amazing coachs and guys like you putting out videos that are not always sunshine and rainbows. Thank you again Rivrat have a great season.

[@t-bonet4540]

I would really enjoy the broken zinger that you used. You are my favorite minor league player and you really inspire me and motivate me to play baseball. I remember when my team was struggling and I disliked the sport at that time but you brought me up and showed me why and how to love and respect the game of baseball. Thanks, Rivrat you are truly amazing

[@theruralones3194]

All I have to say is walk-off grand slam!!! What a win Saturday night!!!!! Also love your channel, great seeing the behind the scenes of a grinding ball player!

[@wyattweipert]

I would like the new wood bat. I really like your channel and wold love that bat for memorabilia!

[@davidbenson9845]

Love seeing this as a ball player getting a insight of what it is like in the minors a place many of us hound players dream of being. Honestly don’t care what one I would get. Just love seeing these videos and learning what it is like at the levels you are at. Keep Grinding good luck on the rest of your season.

[@wp9670]

I have recently found your page and have really enjoyed finding out about how you all are paid in the minors vs the majors very eye opening experience. My grandfather taught me the game and each foul ball or bat I receive reminds me of all our trips to little league through my high school games. And all the minor league games we would go to but the most exciting he was when me and my wife carried him to Atlanta to see the brave play and the next year we went to Cooperstown to the hall of fame and to the Phillies game on the way back home that is the only only two games mlb he every saw. I don’t collect memorabilia to sale just to keep

[@sportshavenpix13]

I’m so glad to know you River!! You are an absolute inspiration to me! You are my big brother that I never had! I always loved coming to see you at Lake Elsinore Storm Games! You were so friendly! I want the brand new bat so that I am able to use in games! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!! I really hope to you see as a San Diego Padre one day!! Thank you for always making me smile and making my day so much better!! You will always be my role model!! You are an amazing father and husband and deserve the world and endless happiness and longevity!! I will always follow you wherever you go because you mean the world to me!!

[@manny_being_manny]

Would love that new wood bat to use in game! You’re awesome my guy! Reminded me of Daniel Norris with the van !

[@christiankoppenhaver5585]

Huge baseball fan river! I've been following your adventure ever since I came across your channel. Every now and then I go to the milb site and look up players I've played with in the past or just players I am interested in to see how they are progressing day to day. You are now one of those players. It would be an honor to receive one of your bats and I wish you and your family the best as you follow your dream. Much love!

[@Foot-j4n]

Watching here in Brazil! Very good to watch the struggle of the guys like you trying to reach the Show!

[@kyle101538]

Been watching you for a couple of months now. Big fan. Gave me a new prospective into Minor League Baseball . Good luck bro. Hope you have a great season.

[@claytonskulina1354]

I would take either, and I would use it to remind myself that I can get to my ultimate dream of playing a professional sport. I'm only a freshman in high school, and you have truly inspired me to get to the next level. And yes, liking/disliking was a rule. Good luck this season!

[@alexmora650]

I’ll love the memorabilia. I’ll hang it In my office at work as a reminder to keep working for what I love to do. Which I’m doing now as an analyst. Love your channel and your great attitude. Keep it up. I live in Austin. Just bought tickets for the missions weekend game against Springfield next week.

[@thedonn74]

Riv, great new video. I’ve been watching your series for a while now and what I love is the insight of a minor league player, the warts and all makes it so relatable. I played ball for 30 years but stopped a few years ago due to back injury and recent surgery. I now have two young boys and I hope they inherit the same love I have for the game. I’m not sure you’d be up to sending your prizes to Australia (though you played here) but having gear around the house there’s more of a chance of them picking it up, a ball, a bat, a glove and asking stories about it and playing with it. Anyway good luck for the season.

[@baseballboy6985]

So you are still with the missions, awesome!! Excited to see you when I go catch a game

[@jackstaples7328]

Hey River I saw you opening weekend in Arkansas and love your channel wished I could have talked more to you, but it was freezing cold. I autographs and have a few broken bats and would love to add another to my collection. Thanks again River.

[@cwstars]

Hey bro, you truly are an inspiration to me to get it and grind and I am very excited when a video comes out. You are one of my favorite people to watch and I'm so glad you are back. If I won, I would like the un-broken wood bat. My reason is that I could train with it to work on hitting with the sweet spot and getting the bat through the zone. I also plan to game it because I'm going to play in a wood bat tournament in the summer. Thanks. And Let's Get It!

[@caylebbuffaloe9670]

River baseball is literally life to me without it I don’t even know if I would be happy with life. You are my favorite player on the missions and the way you play and what you play for inspires me to keep working for my dream of becoming a pro ball player. Thank you if I do win the giveaway, I would like the new bat

[@lorib7238]

Thanks for posting again River- so good to have you back on the Tube. I have been able to catch a few Missions games on MiLBTv, always great to watch you and the team. As far as the giveaway, I would appreciate the cracked bat to add to my memorabilia collection! Thanks so much!

[@lorib7238]

I also forgot- YES you did have a "like" or dislike" in one of your videos last year LOL

[@paulsega2066]

Hey, rivrat i appreciate so much ur channel, it really provides me with a detailed vision of how ur(don't wanna say struggling) the course you're taking to get to the big show.........I'm 55yrs old & i play fastpitch softball, but i would give anything to go back and live that minor league life .......i do understand the responsibility you have for "family" but i truly hope you make it!!! I'm a New York boy!!

[@GB-ps3ot]

Hey River, I’m a huge fan. I saw you channel on KZbin a couple of weeks back, but I never understand what it takes to be in the MILB. I’m truly inspired by what you have been doing in your life. I’m a young player who as been grinding to get better. I would love to have that 271 Bat. I would use the bat over the summertime to become a better hitter. It would be a great bat to use and to help me grind of the summer. Your an amazing person and player. I wish the best of luck on your journey to the Big League. Lots of love ❤️⚾️🔥

[@johnnybrucato8369]

Dude you are lit! I watch your vids so I can get an understanding of my dream job. I need to focus on baseball and school and by you just posting vids and teaching you give me 1/2 of what I need to learn by simply playing the game!

[@danielatkins5294]

I would love the broken bat because just knowing I have a bat hanging in my room from a major leaguer it would just be awesome. I'm glad your back I missed the videos

[@connorsuehs1440]

You're beasting out this year in SA. Would love to have that broken bat since I'm a big fan. Season ticket holder down here and loving your play man. Let's get it

[@krakrex780]

Awesome to see you back. You've been killing it lately man keep it up! Id love the broken bat signed to have it hung up in my office. Love minor league baseball and seeing them in the bigs and remembering seeing the guys making millions and watch them progress though the systems

[@samkleiner3475]

I would love the new wood bat. I love you so much. I just broke my wood bat so this would help a ton! Glad your back!!!

[@CatchingIQ]

keep doing your thing Rivrat! No need to apologize, you are trying to live the baseball dream... and you're living in a van away from your fam... Keep gettin' it!

[@drewgaming7236]

Love the videos man! I would like the new Louisville slugger. Having it there to help work on my swing and having there as an option to swing would be awesome. Good luck this season. You get there someday keep working!

[@dixieloucarter3302]

I would love to have the new bat signed to add to my 7 year old son's memorabilia collection. He currently has 3 signed bats, one game used bat, and 4 signed balls. I feel like a Rivrat bat would go nicely with it. Welcome back and keep grinding!

[@anthonycepeda5005]

My brother really is inspired by your journey in the minors. He currently plays high school baseball and wants to be where you at in the future. That Louisville bat would be so awesome for him!!!

[@jakedevine3676]

I'm inspired how you just keep on working hard to eventually be in the Major Leagues. I would hang the bat up with my other collectable bats

[@lukepetersen5170]

I wish I could have the non broken bat so that way I could use it to work so maybe one day I can get to where you are now. I also just wanted to say that I love your videos, and that some people don't really understand what it is like in the minor leagues, and I am just glad that you are able to show and spread you experiences with people through this platform.

[@t-juicy2423]

So happy that your posting again man! I was wondering if I could have the new wood bat, I would use it in the state tournament this year, and in college next year. Hope the family is doing well and good luck this season🙏🏼🏆

[@johngibson9749]

So glad you are back dude. . I have dreams to make it where u are . I would love the zinger broken bat because I love sports memorabilia type stuff and I think it would be awesome since I don’t have anything that a player has given to me. Thanks . Best of luck man!

[@ddcharger4]

Hey man I love all your videos been subscribed for almost 9 months now. I’m 14 years old now I’m starting to play some wood bat tournaments soon and I don’t have one yet. It would be really be a blessing if I won. Glad your back, much love

[@sterlingwilson3587]

I’ve been collecting baseball memorabilia over the last year for my twin boys who are 2. The broken C271 would be perfect, signed of course. Hope you are enjoying the grind.

[@carterroach5916]

LET's GETTTTTT IT!! So happy to have your video's back. I love following your videos and just love watching your process in the game of baseball. This is my first time commenting and just want to say your videos are AWESOME. I would love to get into the give away and if I could receive The Louisville bat that would be awesome. My amateur season is just starting up and I would love to swing a new louisville bat for games. Please keep posting big fan of ya Rivrat!!!

[@DinoXaviz]

River! I’m glad you responded to my email! I will try out for this college in summer, and why I need the bat is for good luck on my tryouts with your Louisville bat

[@drewyazzie8342]

Glad your back brotha. Awesome see you posting more videos now man. Have good season will also be watching your videos.

[@---on3pg]

I would like the broken bat because I collect memorabilia and you have become one of my favorite minor leaguers since I subscribed to you, you give a lot of insight on what it's like to play professionally.

[@vibingtortilla8312]

Glad your back! I️ want it because my name is also Ryver. And I️ actually saw you play here in midland against the rockhounds!!!

[@CodyDunlap]

Pumped you're back in SA. Hope you're killing it! I'm gonna try to see you soon.

[@yomomjames1039]

I would love to get the broken bat signed. I love your channel, your personality, and attitude to the game. Found the channel recently and have watched every video. Also, saw a video where you flipped off the fans in Australia, and I thought it was great and they deserved it. Keep going with the channel and never give up.

[@KevinBrown-ed4cw]

Riv, I love the channel. I've been following you for a while now. You've been a huge inspiration to me on my journey through college baseball in an attempt to make a career in the big leagues. I would love to get the broken zonger just because It would be awesome to have a piece of your success that I strive for. Thank you so much for the videos and inspiring me.

[@haystak510]

I’m glad that your back and I would love the new bat because I recently broke two of my bats and you have been an inspiration and have motivated me to keep on playing and go after my goals

[@emol9574]

I want it to remind me that it isn't easy to make it to where you are it take time and patience, and that the road to play pro baseball will have its ups and downs. Also I wanna get to where you are someday and I need to keep on working as hard as I can and do as much as I can to make it big

[@chasecollinsworth8716]

River, it was good to see and meet you in person the other day in Frisco, you guys kicked out tail. LOL Nice van upgrades, we will check out the Doc soon. Love the video's keep them up, see you next trip to Frisco. I would like the broken bat for myself, but since you already gave my son a bat I don't think it would be fair for me to get one.

[@stevepack9103]

Love your work mate. All the best for this season. Would love to give the new c271 to my 16 yr old son who is just beginning to use wood here in Newcastle Australia.

[@lukepemberton4687]

I want the non-broken bat because I would use it in games. I am pretty superstitious and I think if I get to use your bat it will give me your magical powers. Love the vids man. Glad your back!

[@zdenochara5391]

I'd love the louisville slugger. I am around that age where we start transitioning to wood bats, and I don't have one to use. It'd be amazing if I could have it. I was thinking about quitting baseball, and you reinvigorated my drive to play competitively. Thanks.

[@jennifermunoz2613]

Glad to see ya back online ! I would love a game used bat signed by you

[@nicholasbean7637]

Just found your channel, very entertaining. Looking forward to seeing you play here in CC against the Hooks! Good luck to you!

[@reececup1287]

Good Luck I hope you get to the Big Leagues and you are really Inspirational

[@brady6147]

I’m a huge memorabilia collector from any team at any level, I’m currently a senior in HS about to graduate and go and play college ball next year so getting one of these bats would mean a lot and be a great reminder to always grind and work towards my dreams.

[@ryantrexel2099]

I'm a freshman in high school and am a huge memerobilia collector and fan of baseball and it's cool that you have a KZbin channel detailing your life through professional baseball. Hope I win the giveaway, good luck to everyone else and keep grinding river!

[@bgsethyyy8277]

Hey River, I found your channel a few months ago and I love the content. I’m a high school baseball player from San Diego and I love the the inside point of view of minor league life that you provide. I want to thank you for the time you put into the channel. Lastly, If I were lucky enough to win, I would want the Louisville Slugger to have a piece of equipment that came from a minor league clubhouse. I think that would be really cool! Once again, thanks for everything you do! Go Missions and go Padres!

[@loganreynolds5132]

I just need a new bat. I’m so happy your back!!!!! You’re also I huge inspiration to me!

[@Dpcooper3]

Hey, I would love the broken bat. I love the game used things from guys living the dream. Love the videos, keep grinding and best of luck to you making it to the show.

[@juliancepeda6511]

Glad your back, I would like the new Louisville as it would be my first wood bat, and coming from you it would mean a lot as you are a huge inspiration to me not just in baseball but also life, you have helped strive for my dreams espically in baseball

[@evansnyder2582]

I want the bat because you are one of my favorite baseball channels and one of my favorite minor league player. You also inspired me to work harder. Hope the season goes go for you and can't wait to see you in AAA.

[@jonmarquis4066]

Good to see you back, I've missed the videos. There are some sad-ass stories on here for people wanting this stuff, I don't have one, so you should probably pick some one else. Don't get me wrong though, I would love to take the C271 off of your hands. Again, thanks for the content I look forward to more throughout the season.

[@TheBTHILL]

Hey riv, I play juco ball at Cisco JC in Texas, I'm playing in a wood bat summer league and the new C271 would be awesome to use over the summer and would help out since I don't have a woody at the moment. Keep up the awesome work.

[@toddlorenzo4936]

Dude, I love watching your videos! I'm a big minor league baseball nut, and I catch it whenever I can. I wish you the very best of luck today, and for your future, and look forward to your new videos. You give great insight!

[@Yungwishbone]

hey man, so glad to see you are back. I cant wait to see you out on the field and i know you're going to move up soon. I love the videos and have been a subscriber since your first couple of videos. i love the content and your dedication to the game. I am currently a college student who will be walking on to the baseball this fall. I would love to have that new Louisville slugger and take my cuts with that, especially considering my wood bat is cracked and can break any day now. you inspire me to keep working at my dream because its possible. thank you and keep up the good work

[@ethanianni2900]

I would like the zinger bat because I think it is neat that you have used it. Last year I went to watch the Missions play, but I didn’t get to see you. Thanks for doing a giveaway!⚾️

[@UrMom-vo2mt]

God the nostalgia watching these videos, river I enjoyed watching these man hope you’re doing well

[@DiegoMartinez-zy8xx]

Hey River great seeing you grind out more great videos. Just recently found out you went to Mission Hills which is pretty cool because we play them in a series every year at Vista High. I would really appreciate winning the giveaway because you are an amazing hard working guy and I look up to you

[@60daysoutfitters]

I actually was about to buy a c271 and would really enjoy the brand new one glad your back

[@claytonbumsted5954]

So happy to see more vids I lost my old account t but I’ve seen almost all your vids I’m 16 and we are just starting wood bar tournaments and I would love the new bat so I can test some different ones out and see what I like

[@quinsonblas7761]

I'm gonna be honest, I just found your channel but I've already instantly subscribed. I have the same passion that you have for baseball but I'm stuck on a really small island in the middle of the pacific ocean so it's tough to get my baseball career going. That new Louisville 271 would be awesome as that would be the first bat that I would ever own. Keep up the good work bro.

[@JayDeeBerryman]

Glad to see you are back Rivrat!

[@justincarden8234]

Glad your back to uploading! Good luck this season!

[@matthewlee4899]

[@keanandarnell4533]

I would want the c271 Louisville slugger. I have a baseball shadow box in my room I’ve been waiting to get a bat that deserves to go in there as I think that one does.

[@i_villa7967]

River, I have been watching your channel for a bit and have really liked your content from your experience in the minors. Hopefully I will be there one day. I want the non-broken c271 to hit some dingers during high school.Keep grinding bro!

[@tylerchristianson452]

[@claymiller1318]

[@WlknTlknStvnHwkn]

Would love to get that broken bat signed. Been slowly trying to start up my memorabilia collection. Good luck this year, man!!!

[@evantanner2483]

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I love your content. You are an inspiration to me and how you came about to the position you are in. I would love to have the broken bat bat because like I said, I love your videos and have been following your career.

[@kadynjudd8620]

Hey River I think that you are really inspiring. I love baseball and for you to be giving an insight is so cool. If I won I would want the broken bat because it was yours and you have worked very very hard and life requires effort. Keep up the effort. Fingers crossed

We are a baseball family. My son and daughter love playing the game. We live near Frisco and hope to see you soon at a game. We would love the broken bat. It would be great to have you sign it. Thanks and keep up the great vids.

[@TobyMcNackel]

Hey man. First off, glad to see you back and doing well.The beard game is filthy bro! Love watching your videos and seeing the behind the scenes of what it's like to be in minor leagues! I'd be ecstatic to receive that broken zinger bat and hang it up on my wall. You're an awesome guy, a hard worker and the definition of class. You've not only been an inspiration for me to follow my dreams but my 9 year old cousin as well. After I discovered your channel a while back I showed him and he has been as locked in as I am with your channel! Anyways man, best of luck the season and cant wait to see you kill it! I'm going to do everything I can to say what's up at a game in springfield, MO here in a couple of weeks and watch you play!

[@Haiden_Booth]

next up on the van upgrades is a portable light or something for even better lighting during vlogs when your in the van

[@tomebel5309]

Glad to see you back and doing what you love. If I win, I would love the game used bat, signed of course. The reason is that my wife and I are in our eighth season as a Storm Host Family and we have signed game used bats from a few of our players. Yours would be an awesome addition. I have a question for you, how does it feel knowing you are playing on the LAST Missions team affiliated with the San Diego Padres? Good luck and continued health for this season.

[@taloncolby7997]

i would like the broken bat because i’m a huge fan and love memorabilia like that, great chanel!!!

[@leonidas5535]

I would love to have your broken bat, I live several hours from San Antonio and have been there to play in tournaments a couple of times and I had a blast. Having your bat would be awesome because it is from someone playing for San Antonio a city a couple hours away from me. It would mean a lot having your bat it would be one of my most priced possessions if I could get it. Great job and keep doing what you do I hope one day we can see you in the majors playing amongst stars like you.

[@pjsaff6]

Because you are the best u inspire me to try my best and I made my all star team

[@samplunkett6178]

Good to be back big brother! Good luck.

[@zachzwicky1757]

I would love to have the non-broken bat because it would inspire me to work on my swing every day everyone says I have collage potential seeing how much work you put in it would just make me work just that much harder trying to become a full time varsity started next year Good to have you back

[@45scienceproject]

Whattup Riv! I'd love the chance to swing the new bat because I never have before. I love the vids and I hope you get called up to El Paso very soon. I'll be sure to say hey once you make it out here to Salt Lake. Cheers, man.

[@thenanny14850]

I know these videos have been out for a bit but I love learning about minor league baseball. Also that "fun cup" series hat you're wearing I have seen before but didn't really appreciate it till now when it is actually on someone's head. It looks sweet, I am gonna have to grab one of those. I hope you are having a good start to your season 2019, and I will definitely be looking at more videos.
