Sport Science: Wicked Wiffle

[@SeaN-fx1ss]

MLB player: smiling barely swinging it Wiffle ball pitcher: YEAH YOU CANT HANG

[@Boohooyoumad12345]

I love how he just stands there with the whiffle ball acting like he owns the place

[@BGBlitzball]

He was joking around and just giving a fun sports science

[@BGBlitzball]

Plus he respected that he was a pro

[@BGBlitzball]

@@jakedoessports4245 my fucking keyboard autocorrects to that shit so much

[@chocolatemilk679]

lol that wiffle ball pitcher was so cocky

[@calipeach5145]

They told him to be cocky, selling the drama

[@jacob.rausch]

For a good reason tho the pitches were crazy

[@Daniel-e5j6r]

I met this guy before I played softball with him. He wasn’t unlikeable like he is in this video. He was actually pretty cool and humble. He never even told me about him being on sports science someone else had told me after he left.

[@austinvlogs9930]

When he said Ya baby you can't hang loney musta thought wtf wrong with you son

[@themuskokajonah3926]

I like how they have beakers full of some science liquid when they are talking about plastic balls

[@obsCuber]

I bet the guy was cut from his high school baseball team

[@quan6624]

I bet he got cut from the little league team

[@charliekneidel596]

obsCuber tee ball

[@lm_Cray]

Nope just his tee ball team

[@vinny702]

Actually he played college ball for UCLA lol

[@arcadedmc]

How do u know?

[@drewblaz740]

Try the best best wiffle ball hitter vs a baseball pitcher

[@ButNustin]

See that’s perfect, worlds collide evenly. They’ve each stepped in each other’s shoes

[@rathcorn]

DrewBlaz ok then let’s have Barry bonds hitting.

[@nickwolski5441]

This guy is way too cocky for being good at a game comparable to pro nerf football...

[@4jai2brons0n]

I love how after he hits it at the end the kid gets all respectful.

[@InsanityGamingHD123]

He acts like a bad ass but seriously it's whiffle ball you won't go anywhere in life

[@alvacassel528]

You can make money playing wiffel ball Ps fuck you he's better than you are at what ever sport you play

[@bensenvanwimgerden2914]

+Alva Cassel yeah if you sell the wiffle ball and wiffle bat!

[@sportsfactor2129]

+Alva Cassel kid you don't understand how stupid you're making yourself look, everybody hates that wiffleball pitcher because he is cocky and no he actually probably sucks at every sport because he has spent all his time learning wiffleball pitches

[@ChaosMew161]

This season, as of today, for Loney: .353 BA, second best BA in MLB behind The All-Powerful Miguel Cabrera. And he's played in all 45 games the Rays have played right now.

[@tomitstube]

of course it's hard to hit, it breaks four feet, he's closer by 20 feet, and the bat is half as wide. how is this comparable to the big leagues?

[@masontrinh6880]

tomitstube he actually does the comparisons you say in the video.

[@BillClay88]

Showed you. Can be up to 105mph and you seen what happened when he had a real bat. There would be no hitters.

[@ChuugyGolf]

Man that guy is baked haha

[@SugaryCoyote]

Reading these comments I've noticed a little plastic sphere can make a lot of people very angry for some reason.

[@lminato486]

SugaryCoyote 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rathcorn]

SugaryCoyote it’s no the little plastic sphere, it’s the kids cocky attitude lmao, use your brain smart guy.

[@rathcorn]

SugaryCoyote holy god this is 4 years old

[@CocoPerk]

Elijah Rodbaugh/rath 5 years*

[@rathcorn]

Please sub to get me to 1,000 no it was 4 years, just changed.

[@iSPELLinAMERICAN]

I just loved the part where they face each other up. midget wiffle ball player vs giant baseball player

[@jasondc22]

Now lets see him try to strike him out with a normal baseball

[@gcut24]

Are you stupid lmao

[@WillTrollsworth]

yeah but its from 42 feet away lets see that jerk throw from 60

[@gcut24]

You cant throw a whiffle ball from 60 dumbass

[@likkerland]

@@gcut24 That's the point.

[@theazn07]

that pitcher reminds me of those 8th graders that think they're the shit b/c their the oldest in their elementary school...

[@TrolololoIo]

Hahaha I love how Loney looks like a beast next to the host and the wiffle ball pitcher, even tho Loney's only 6'2 haha

[@PaulLaman]

We started a wiffle ball leagues in 1994. Built an awesome stadium in the back yard and had stands. Not sure if we were pioneers of the leagues, but we definately brought recognition to it!

[@noahbzoskie5634]

"Hardcore world of wiffleball" cmon sports science I don't think so

[@teiguemccormack3533]

You would be surprised. Go check out GSWL

[@ramirez5545]

The mlb player looks high

[@guamboy1787]

Best sentence is "yea baby, you cant hang" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@garrettstringfellow]

i love how he rips it when he actually gets a regular size bat and more than 2 pitches to adjust to it.

[@timd5410]

Actually the pitcher was told to let up so Looney could hit it for the camera. Yes I do know. I personally know the pitcher and have interviewed him.

[@ubben5]

I think one of the key reasons (other than the movement of the ball), is the light bat. It is odd to swing with for sure.

[@HuntarOchoquatro84]

Actually, the pitcher in this video is now a pro at wakeboarding. That's pretty badass if you ask me.

[@auwareagleau]

I like how "hard" he tried to look in the beginning. Dude, its wiffleball!

[@bobdylan1968]

It's part of the show. They alllllll do that.

[@BrotherKellerman]

I have a midterm tomorrow, how i ended up watching this video i'll never know

[@jakef9067]

You gotta be kiddin me how did the midterm go?

[@diegoveloso3rd]

Id like to know as well.

[@pricey420]

Mlb player looks blazed

[@gounderusbyMichaelTomlins]

SIIIIICK!!!! I love this EPIC showdown!!!!

[@connerl1392]

Sport Science should do what’s faster hockey slap shot vs floorball slap shot

[@likebuttta]

we actually pitch from 48 ft too, 42ft is hella close and we use that for our medium pitch formats

[@bcg12188992]

If he wasn't high he would have hit them better

[@michaeleastman7155]

Pitcher talked smack, made Loney look bad, then went outside and got in his Mom's car and went home to his basement Apt.

[@TheBearEzentials]

Hell, the first time I threw a wiffle, I couldn't even guess the direction it was going to go. Any kid with some weekend practice can throw a good wiffle, because the balls are made with holes and weigh a fraction of a baseball. Wiffles are designed to pick up turbulence and speed, unlike a baseball.

[@BlackStickWiffleBall]

If you guys ever watch Joel Deroche in other videos, you'll notice how much slower he's throwing to James than in actuall tourneys.

[@Wy_Law]

I didn't even look at the comments and i was thinking the exact same thing

[@VloggerWill]

That's friggin awesome.

[@igivegoodreviews]

thank you

[@deer24689]

I wish I could pitch like that. Thumbs up, Brutha!

[@jakepovero3491]

Bro he can play wiggle ball!!!! I wish I was him😑

[@CedricLogan]

@ParadiddleHeaven absolutely. Happens all the time in shows like these.

[@roccogranato8133]

I was actully laughing when they said mlb slugger...James Loney haha. Look at him now.

[@aRazorsEloquence]

I like how he had said he lost track of his no hitters and perfect games and then 5 seconds later they cut to a scene of some dude hitting a jack.

[@colinboleratz8623]

That was him

[@korvys]

They're not talking about the speed as such, but how much time the batter has to react. They stand closer in wiffle ball, so it's like trying to react to a faster ball from further away.

[@cwolf2012]

What I'd like to see is if you take a major league hitter and let him practice against these guys for a couple weeks. I'm guessing the results change pretty significantly.

[@RickyFresh9]

oh a national championship in wiffle ball, thats a career to be proud of

[@cherrydrums]

right, its all about how long you have to hit it. it takes the same amount of time for both of those pitches to reach the plate

[@dreweyink9014]

I love how he acts like a badass

[@cwolf2012]

He's the best player in the world in a sport. Yeah, he's earned at least a little of it.

[@duckpluck]

Oh my. He was taking it easy on him.

[@wccrispy]

Imagine if the baseball player got good at hitting those pitches. He'd be unstoppable at the mound.

[@Goothrey]

Also, those are some serious red eyes Loney has...

[@chifanpatt]

I want to see that pitcher play baseball

[@SwaguPepe7]

Wiffle ball pitcher is such a stud. What a boss!

[@ThexPandaxManiac]

No, a 75mph wiffle at 42 feet = A 105 mph pitch from 60 feet 6 inches. Basic math shows that from a closer distance a slower pitch still feels as fast as a 105 mph baseball fastball.

[@EGarrett01]

Diss it all you want, those curving pitches are cool as hell to watch.

[@tommclarty17]

"I've honestly lost count of how many no hitters and perfect games I have thrown..." Yeah while playing an obscure game that no one gives a shit about, tough guy.

[@rpolson09]

LOL at James Loney being a rising star

[@jeffbean88]

I like how that pitcher was talkin trash til they gave my man a real bat and he ripped that garbage. That was funny

[@ImForGoodMusic]

I don't know why there's even a comparison. It's two different worlds, wiffle ball and baseball.

[@matthewlobato9957]

this is so sick

[@XoresRock]

Wiffleball vs Baseball is like Minigolf vs Golf. If you can't play the original there is the litte version for kids and backyarders. (But pitching wiffles is sure fun)

[@andros1984]

The distance from pitcher to batter is much less for wiffle, that alone makes it harder to get a read on a pitch. And actually, wiffle can be thrown faster than a baseball (from what I've experienced). I can only barely hit 70 on my radar gun with a 5oz baseball, but reached 79 with the wiffle.

[@iammpk]

i still cant get over that wiffle ball has a championship.

[@MrPitcher17]

is it just me or is james loney baked? look at his eyes.

[@dddimnd9189]

The batter looks like some superhuman next to the pitcher lol

[@LifeofaBaseballBro]

james loney is a beast.

[@PeekaPeep]

Loney's got the ability to put up better numbers than he's shown since coming into the majors. If only he'd stop messing around with his swing and trust his hands more. Guy's a natural hitter and actually does have enough power to hit more than 20 HRs if he wanted to. Maybe he should spend some quality time dissecting footage of Garret Anderson in his prime. That's who he reminds me of the most, come to think of it...

[@Goaliekid123]

i could see him with girls "what do you do?" " I am a professional wiffle ball pitcher" Girls walk away.

[@cherrydrums]

no but thats not what they are saying, theyre saying a 75 mile per hour ball thrown from 42 feet is just as difficult to hit as a 105 mile per hour ball thrown from 60.5 feet

[@TheRondon101]

"one of the best wiffle ball pitchers ever" like that title means ANYTHING anywhere

[@lupefiascoluvr]

@longjumperss44 True, but how pumped would you be if you threw strike after strike on a major league hitter?

[@SimpleStuff31]

well the pitch that he got with the big bat didnt break much he basically showed some mercy on loney

[@Crowejonathan]

the championship game looks like it was held at a middle school

[@EC91Inf3kt3d93TO]

Anybody else laugh when the narrator dude said "HARDCORE WORLD OF WIFFLE" Oh yeah...that's super hardcore....

[@ScubzMcTalBowling]

i was waiting for them to show a major league pitcher vs a wiffle ball batter.

[@gpluehri]

its nice to see his mama gave him the cy young award im the greatest wifflier alive!!! thanks ma

[@Sportsman691]

I think the pitcher is just putting up a show for the camera. I'm sure he respects james loney

[@jetyankeefan255]

gotta say pitching in wiffle ball is really important.

[@DelawareFish]

"yeah baby, cant hang" haha go back to your mom's, he'll go back to his mansion

[@daaaaaaaaniel]

Did they ask him to be as douchey as possible?

[@triton2toro]

@poppyseeds1823 I was thinking the same thing- either the whiffle ball dude is 4'10", or James Loney is like 7'6".

[@Stavzilla125]

did any other cubs fan like the mark grace strikeout at wrigley in the opening sequence?

[@bbrunner3401]

i was not aware he was "prolly" kidding

[@TheInfamouspif]

That would defeat the purpose of the game these balls are plastic way light.. 60 feet it would be so slow and easy to hit

[@kace842]

not to mention why don't they compare his pitch to Nolan Ryan's Power curve? That is easiliest the Nastiest curveball EVER thrown!

[@ryanyoung8564]

Never clicked off a zirkse video so fast

[@KrakizkoloP]

if you notice he seems uncomfortable saying it in a few frames so its prob just the network telling him to be cocky

[@ahinch11]

"Yea baby, ya can't hang"

[@Swaguire]

Haha in track wow thats some real talent!

[@christalatala4123]

Lolol. 3:35 batting gloves 3:39 no batting gloves 3:50 batting gloves again.

[@donaldventrice5103]

When the narrator said that they drafted one of the best wiffle ball pitchers to ever play the game I thought the kid would be like 12, not nearly as young as the guy here.

[@EWLwiffle]

2:31 since when do u need protective goggles for computer science?

[@zINK56z]

Loney must have cat-like reflexes to hit one of those

[@disillusionment1057]

you know loney was going easy on him too

[@bolt5597]

Imagine him with a blitz ball

[@jumpmanissick]

did anyone notice that he had his batting gloves on then at 3:39 he doesn't then back in the slow mo he does?

[@SquashBox]

I'll bring the popcorn.

[@arthurtats]

pause at 3:32, looks like JAMES LONEY hit the bong before coming to the set, anybody agree hes blown here
