[@cameroneverhart6443]

Total respect for these dudes. Their power is incredible. I'm a little dude so I appreciate more "small ball" vs 5 dudes straight hitting home runs. But man I have immense respect and wish I could do that on a whim...

[@RhiNoTheRep]

Thx

Some of the best dudes in the world

[@douglowry7382]

This video proves one thing. If so many guys still want to play ball there needs to be more men’s baseball leagues where it’s not just a home run derby.

[@RhiNoTheRep]

This was an Unlimited HR tournament

[@chuckchavez3549]

I agree man I’m not sure why slowpitch softball is so much more popular for grown men. I play slowpitch and it was mostly because I couldn’t find much interest from my friends to play baseball. Most everyone gets fat and slow and doesn’t want to hit difficult pitching and wants to try to hit dingers. It’s still a really good time but my favorite part of baseball was stealing bases and hustle is almost looked down upon. Taking away what I’m good at man!

[@brianmeen2158]

@Chuck Chavez I don’t blame guys for playing slow pitch - it’s a much better game for adults ..much much easier to hit the ball and no wear and tear on your shoulders(from pitching)

[@RhiNoTheRep]

Agreed

[@luchianocorujo1319]

Good thing about those Unlimited Homerun tournaments, lol

[@luchianocorujo1319]

Was that an old bat or new bat that Ryan Harvey was swinging?

[@RhiNoTheRep]

His Krecher broke, so he had to use Andy Parcells bat

[@luchianocorujo1319]

I bet he breaks a lot of bats

[@RhiNoTheRep]

Yea he does

[@bigcat3482]

The bats are hot, the balls are hot but not everyone is on steroids. I played around thirty years and most people I knew worked at their game. We worked out, took a ton of B.p. took care of ourselves. But it's fair to say there is steriods in the game. Imho the game was way better in 90's and 2000's. I loved going to the Smokies and watching Ritches, Bell Corp, Shen Valley just to name a few. I miss those days!!!! Btw.... I hate this auto correct lmbo

[@calejudy2296]

pitcher got mad at the second baseman at 4:19 I would love to see him make that play haha

it happens alot! Pitchers get upset,

[@beaverhunter3290]

Noob here, just wondering are you not supposed to run the bases on a homerun?

[@RhiNoTheRep]

The umpires say hit and sit on Homeruns, to keep the games going and keep the tournament on schedule! Games usually have time limits

[@tristonstarling3756]

I get these are highlights, but with the scores being 25+ and so many HR’s have they considered using softer balls to bring more fielding into the game? I get these are the best of the best so HR’s will still be hit but it seems like so much.

[@RhiNoTheRep]

this tournament here, its an Unlimited HR tournament, this is the only 1 like this in the conference, so they swing away and tend to put on a show!!

its all about timing

[@pablomanquero2143]

So, the pitch is thrown in a way that the other team just easily hit a home run? How about giving some difficulty and trying to pitch a little higher so the other team doesn’t make 9 HR in a row.

[@RhiNoTheRep]

It's hard cause this tournament is Unlimited HRs

[@phillyspecs]

They can all blast homers but how many can actually run fast....

[@RhiNoTheRep]

Quite a few of them, the reason u see more HRs in this clip, it's a Majors event and this event happens to be Unlimited Homeruns

I played slow pitch softball for 20 years back in the 80s and 90s. Since when do you hit a homerun and just walk off? No circling of the pads? Who came up with that ridiculous rule.?? My my, how things change?

[@RhiNoTheRep]

Sir, its to speed up the game, the game times run for so long when both teams are able to have unlimited HRs

[@alphaandomega5612]

When I played softball 100 years ago , we used wood bats and played on 400 ft fields. We had to run the bases twice backwards after hitting a bomb It’s ridiculous to only run the bases once. Who came up with that stupid rule for the 80s and 90s where you only had to run the bases once. You guys were just plain lazy. Ohhhhh, that’s right. Sometimes the rules change. What you think might be ridiculous others think is a good idea.
