This MLB Player's Career Lasted Only Two Years. He Still Made History.

[@joelsigrist7127]

“Ryan Schimpf became the Dan Uggla of Joey Gallos, if you know what I mean” I’m really glad I watch your videos, rarely do I get to exercise this knowledge otherwise.

[@hahshsdh4646464]

Yeah same here.

[@apacheman3131]

As soon as I heard that line I sprinted to the comments. Glad to be among men of culture.

[@ferdinandpenguin]

It is truly one of the greatest comparisons I’ve ever heard

[@TheElDiabloDR21]

This video is so beautiful😢. Also, never forget MLB 18 The Show Ryan Schimpf, AKA the greatest second baseman in the game.

[@mrcanman20]

i’m glad i wasn’t the only one to know this.

[@EnriqueReyes]

Schimpf's name is still mentioned at times on the Padres TV broadcasts by Mark "Mud" Grant when a player is hitting clutch home runs. He yells out "What the Schimpf is going on?" 😂

[@benjonesthe3rd200]

Mark is so funny and amazing miss listening to him . RIP Channel 4

[@timmoney1988]

I really love videos like this. What makes baseball so great isn't just the actual game, but the stories and mythology of the people who have dedicated their life to their craft. Thanks for this Jolly.

[@jmg999]

This is what made Vin Scully Vin Scully, his ability to weave storytelling in-between and around his play-by-play duties.

[@jakedellisant3665]

I am so glad someone finally made a video about ryan schimpf! I've been a padres fan for as long as I can remember and i remember vivdly his first major league hit that he smoked down the right field line. He was always one of my favorite players on the Padres and I never understood why we DFA'd him-Thanks for finally bringing him to light, Jolly. I follow him on instagram and Nowadays I think he's a realtor hopefully in san diego.

The Ryans (Cohen & Schimpf) and Padres fans all around the world Rejoice! The greatest treasure of the late 2010’s has his own Jolly Olive Video!

[@BoringReviews]

Love this video. I’m a huge Padres fan. I totally remember Schimpf. He was a homerun hitter for sure. Never realized how clutch he was with RISP though. I feel like today he would not have been cut as the stat experts would keep him somewhere. He was fun to watch. This was definitely in an era that no one cared about my team. Loved the last part as well. Thanks.

[@trealville23]

As a “huge padres fan” I hope you would remember him lol

[@BoringReviews]

well you gotta understand I don’t remember all of the guys that have played in this team. This was 8 years ago. He played for us for parts of two seasons like Olive said. The Padres were more than irrelevant back then. People weren’t talking about him on sportscenter so even as a fan it’s not crazy to not remember a guy who played for 12 months 8 years back. But this guy all Padres fan remember. He was feast or famine and he had a funny last name. So many shrimp jokes. I’m not sure if you were mocking me with your reply. If you were how sad that you chose to

[@JMacSD]

I like that the video stops to vouch for Cohen as not being a fair weather Padres fan by displaying his many Schimpf tweets - as if any of us who followed the Padres through 2015 and kept going to games were fair weather fans.

[@randyisjerry]

The Dan Uggla of Joey gallos 😂 I’m still trying to figure out what that means lol also you throwing your pic in at the beginning with bonds and Co was hilarious

RYAN SCHIMPF MENTIONED!!! man I loved this guy!

[@TheJosephpage160]

Been watching you for a few years and much respect to you, brother. The quality and depth within these videos are always amazing!

[@bungh0LeO]

Hahahaha, what a heavy thought inducing outro. I freakin' love it! Jolly, you're one of the best, my man! What an interesting stat that is truly an anomaly. It's great to read in these comments that the Padres announcer still bring Schimpf up in catchy phrases.

[@reggiegarcia07]

Happy Grape uploads make me happy

probably my fav from jomboy media, keep doing your thing brother

[@cliffordangus]

This may be your best video! Thank you for making videos!

[@tylercampbell8435]

Jolly you are a spark of joy in this world. Please keep doing what you're doing

[@FaultySporkMa]

As a Padres fan the legend of Schimpf still lives on in San Diego. He’s become the standard by which we hold all of our hitters up to. Never forget…..

[@gofast7907]

As a somber Padres fan, thank you for covering my favorite player from our garbage years from 2013-2017. Schimpf was so fun on teams that won like 70 games.

[@prestonkunst4194]

When the nats played this man, I saw his stat line of .210 and 20 hrs and thought he was elite. I couldn’t remember his name until this video. Such a blast from the past

[@ItsCrawdaddy]

I ABSOLUTELY love the MLB PowerPros soundtrack playing in the background. SUCH an underrated game, I really really wish it would've caught on over here like it did in Japan.

[@RilesIsTall]

Any time Ryan makes an appearance in a video even for a brief moment, it's a good day

[@hyuckbang9019]

I am watching this from South Korea. To me, your works are by far the most interesting baseball contents on youtube. Keep up the great works!!

[@maya-claire]

Love how good of a story teller you are with the videos. I am a lifelong Dodger fan and didn't hesitate to click on the video because even if it features a team or player that doesn't mean much to me, know I'll learn something new

IVE BEEN BEGGING FOR A RYAN SCHIMPF VIDEO FOR YEARS

[@TheatreKiller]

Good shit as always. Love learning about players I’ve never heard of and going down the research rabbit hole

[@bringbackrodney1]

Fun fact: Ryan Schimpf is currently a mortgage broker in Louisiana. I’m sure he’s still just as clutch!

[@J__C__]

Fun Fact: Mendoza was the last manager here in Shreveport Louisiana when we had the Giants AA team, the Shreveport Captains. They moved to Texas and are now the Frisco Roughriders and they're now the Rangers AA team. I only found out about Mendoza recently and I followed the Captains almost until they left.

[@RevAlSharptonz]

He played LF for LSU on the 2009 national championship team.

[@pdraggy]

Big baseball fan, I'd played 4+ teams of fantasy baseball for 20+ years! And this guy escaped my notice lol.

[@pathutchison7688]

For everyone who watches These vids but doesn’t watch Warehouse Blitzball, self deprecation aside, Jolly has actually become a very dangerous hitter.

[@cobrallama6236]

I remember him from some of the past MLB The Show games. He had gigantic power, but extremely low contact skills; he usually ended up in AAA.

[@shhhvcnear]

Also, really loved this video and others - these unique stories. Thanks bud.

[@the51geese38]

When you guys do the NL west RBI draft, for fun someone should go with Ryan Schimpf!

Killin it as usual Jolly Olive!

[@GeorgeWKush-nh8xz]

[@redroninx289]

Shout out to San Diego's beloved Ryan Cohen. Such a pleasant lad

[@J__C__]

Fun Fact: Carlos Mendoza was the last manager for our local AA team(for the SF Giants at the time), the Shreveport Captains, before they moved to Texas and became the Rangers' AA farm team. I forget their name now but you can find them by looking up the Rangers AA team. I had no idea Mendoza was the last manager until a few months ago and they left quite a long time ago. Edited: they're the Frisco Roughriders now.

[@foramoreperfectamerica8490]

Haven't thought about Ryan Schimpf in years, Jolly Olive makes a video about Schimpf. Me: Oh yeah I remember Ryan Schimpf.

[@hahshsdh4646464]

Great piece of content Jolly.

[@SamtheBravesFan]

I remember when Schmipf was in spring training with the Braves in 2018. AA took a flier on him to see if he could make contact, but even by then he was just cooked.

[@mrbreck1]

I have to think schimpf is just a bit of an anomaly. Larger than normal sample size but we have seen guys have a good year or two and flame out before. Charles Thomas might be comparable in that regard. He was decent and got traded for tim hudson but he just could not make the adjustments when the league got the book on him. I feel like if schimpf was not a statistical oddity he would have hung around a few more years as a pinch hitter. At least until the nl adopted the dh in '22.

[@onlyskin634]

​@@mrbreck1jeff francoeur also, he was the best hitter in baseball for like his first 20 games and already by the last month of his rookie year his stats went to below average levels. still managed to have an alright career though

Went to a couple Chihuahua games, and they have a beautiful stadium too along with a great logo. They also play at 4000 ft elevation so that helps the batters stat lines.

[@ramonpagan4998]

I’m from El Paso and you’re correct jolly!

[@LordWolven]

The fact that the Angels managed to get this underrated player for nothing... only to then release him is perhaps the most Angels move ever.

[@Emo_Penguin32]

I loved shimphf his whole short career and was stoked the angels got him. I live in Anaheim. I was lucky enough to go to shimphf's only start and got to see him hit a bomb. Funny enough it was his only hit in the 5 games he played in. I wish they kept him around for a while despite the super low batting average.
