World Cup winning cricketer Jos Buttler takes on baseball with World Series winner Chase Utley

Jos Buttler is cricketing royalty. England captain, a World Cup winner and IPL superstar, there’s no doubt he can swing a cricket bat. But how about a baseball bat?
Philadelphia Phillies legend Chase Utley put him through his paces in the batting cage and behind the plate as he swapped sports for the day in London.

[@grumpyoldman-uk]

With our American friends in mind. Batting whether cricket or baseball starts with hand/eye co-ordination and Jos as an England cricketer has that A++. Next the ball comes through the air - three basic pitches fast, slow, curved. This is straightforward to deal with compared to cricket where most balls hit the ground first and the batsman has a very short time frame to decide how to deal with it. Bowl a full toss in cricket to a player of Jos' ability and it will get the treatment. Where baseball is harder is its a round rather than straight face to the bat and the baseball bat has less diameter. I think with a little time English cricketers would master the bat differences as they have the basic skills already there. Jos showed that I think. Only the wicker keeper has gloves in cricket - all other players catch the ball with their bare hands. This makes catching the baseball easier than catching the cricket ball as Jos found out. Again - he already has A++ ball catching skills in place, the baseball mitt made it easier. Each game has its own skills and strategies. Most Brits see baseball as rounders - but there is much more to it than that. Cricket, especially 5 day test match cricket, for me is the more interesting game bearing in mind the variances in cricket pitch/wicket, the different types of bowling - pace, medium, swing, spin and the variances in the way the ball can be bowled. And the subtleties in field placements. Though understood its an alien concept to many Americans - particularly the 60 or so different fielding positions and many of which have whacko names. Cow Corner, Silly Mid On and Backward Point for example?

[@goelshubham46]

Very nicely explained 👏

[@grumpyoldman-uk]

@AlexanderWinterborn It has to be said the body armour for batsmen has grown over the years,. When I was a youngster a batsman had pads, gloves with rubber spikes to protect the hands, and a box to protect the "delicate bits" of the male anatomy. Time moves on - sausage padding for gloves replaces the spikes of rubber, arm guards, chest and thigh pads on the side facing the bowler, and helmets are added. A few years ago a batsman was killed when a very unlucky ball threaded the gap between helmet visor and face guard leading to a redesign in helmets around the globe. The difference in bats is interesting - while a cricket bat is wider if the ball does not strike the sweet spot in the centre of the bat so the batsman edges the ball it will spit out in an unexpected direction, potentially creating a catching opportunity. Part of the bowler's tactics are to trick the batsman into thinking the ball will be at a certain speed and placement when it is different, so deceiving the batsman and increasing the chances of an edge instead of a square hit. I take your point on ball velocity, but still think the catchers mitt creates an advantage compared to the bare hands of cricket fielders who often have to take reflex catches at speed at short range. Eg fielders at the Silly mid positions. Long range catches which usually come from height are of course at a much lower velocity. I learned a bit ( a very little bit) about baseball in the late 90s when Sosa and McGuire were chasing each other for the home run record and it was enough to catch the interest of this Brit.

[@robertryan7204]

​@AlexanderWinterbornEveryone is making a mistake about the wide Cricket bat. Trying to hit a very hard ball from 2ft away at 85-90 mph, is very difficult. No fielding is very similar in both, except Cricketers are catching without Gloves

@@fordastreeets8019 ​ @fordastreeets8019 In cricket a bowler has to consider thousands of factors for each delivery. It's kinda like chess in that way. Here are a few: Line, length, seam position, swing, condition of the ball, time of the day, dew, revolutions of the ball, turn, pitch type, bounce, wind speed, wind direction, ground shape, ground size, pace, which side the bowler is bowling from, ball release point, ball trajectory, feet angle while releasing the ball. Multiply all this with thousands of field settings (where the other 10 fielders will be positioned). Baseball is the cartoonified form of cricket. Cartoons are fun but they are targeted at an intellectually weaker section of the population.

First off, cricket and baseball are not the same game. 2nd, if baseball was really that easy, their would be a lot of cricketers playing baseball by now. U can make a debate that bowling is harder than pitching, the same way its harder to hit a baseball than it is in cricket. But ultimately bowling and pitching are not the same. Same way hitting a baseball is different than hitting a cricket ball. Just because a cricketer is good at bowling doesn't mean they would be good at pitching. Pitching is more about deception and tricking the batter. Baseball is a PITCHERS game, cricket is a BATSMAN game.

However, baseball players might find it challenging to adapt to cricket as quickly. They're accustomed to full toss balls, and might struggle with bouncers, yorkers, and spinners.

It's very interesting how different the applications are. Baseball is really focused on direction and the strike zone is smaller with a smaller round bat. It's like someone perfecting the omelet. Striving to get it right every time bringing all the elements together. Cricket on the other hand is more the short order cook meeting the needs of each request and dealing with much more variety in choice. Shot selection, being able to hit in any direction makes for alot of options to try and meet demands all in a short span of time. Batters are masters of getting their swing just right, fine tuning and waiting for their pitch. Batsmen make alot of choices and have to play the variety. Neither is 'better' as both are designed towards the sport they are used in.

[@HPSmugscraft]

Same with playing defense. Cricket fielders seem to be more generalized and have to be flexible to adjust to unpredictable plays. Baseball fielders, by contrast, are more specialized towards the role they play for the team. A shortstop has to be quick and agile. A first baseman needs to be able to catch wild throws. A catcher needs to be able to take punishment, work in tandem with the pitcher, watch out for baserunners stealing, and so on.

[@cricketexplained8526]

Also yall don't have the concept of 3 strikes and your out. In baseball, u only get 3 strikes and 4 balls (ball = a wide) that's it. U will only bat a few times in one game. Unlike cricket, yall have the luxury to not swing whenever u feel like it and yall also have the luxury of batting a hundred times per game (making it easier to adjust to bowlers) 😂 if a cricketer tried batting against even a High school pitcher, the cricketer wouldn't even be able to have time to adjust to the pitcher. They would be facing +90mph pitches that they couldn't even read. I also doubt majority of cricketers would even be able to hit a homerun. I also doubt cricketers would know the concept of running bases. Cricketers would even get schooled by the average 8 year old in japan

[@adityasingh6278]

Very true, hitting full toss is ezy pzy but to deal with bowlers variations combined with sheer pace is too damn hard

[@usersixnine347]

@@adityasingh6278how ldloitc are you overproud lndians? Full toss? Learn the sport before you speak something you don’t understand about. Baseball has varying pitches not a “full toss” you think pitchers throw just fastball to the middle genius? And there’s a strike zone, there is way more varying baseball pitchers sliders curveballs sinkers splitters change up etc, and even a fastball 104 mph you can’t touch. Cricket players don’t throw as hard as baseball, this is a fact.

hope u realize not all pitches are strikes. The pitchers purposely want the batsman to swing at bad pitches. These cricketers would easily get striked out by high school pitchers

[@dip-tree]

It would be easier to make a robot playing baseball as compared to one playing cricket.

[@dip-tree]

@AlexanderWinterborn May be you are right, but I was giving a purely engineering opinion. The number of variables to track seems significantly more in cricket. I have no doubt that both games are difficult to play. Since the trajectory of the ball is always through the air (in baseball), this is in fact the most easy ball to play (called a full-toss) in cricket ! The interaction of the ball with the ground introduces too many unknowns, and even a robot will need to be very fast to make sense of it.

[@amitabhaghosh1068]

I think any professional cricketer will adapt to baseball batting quite easily if he is a batsman. Literally every baseball bowled is a full toss. However, pitching might be difficult. I think Jadeja will be very good at pitching. I like both the sport. But baseball lacks variety

[@fordastreeets8019]

hope u realize not all pitches are perfect strikes. The pitcher is purposely trying to make the batsman swing at bad pitches. It's not like cricket where u can just choose not to swing. These cricketers would easily get striked out by high school pitchers

[@user-cb2jl5ti1c]

​@@fordastreeets8019good joke.... A full toss is easy to hit... Base ball variations do nothing to cricket batters.

[@fordastreeets8019]

@user-cb2jl5ti1c A full Toss Is only easy to hit when u use a wideass cricket stick. Give cricketers a baseball bat then they will struggle hitting a full toss. Also in baseball their are different types of pitches. Not every pitch is a fastball. If a cricketer goes up against a knuckleball, they would have no idea how to hit it 😂

[@user-cb2jl5ti1c]

@@fordastreeets8019any full toss is just a full toss for cricket batters 😂😂baseball is easy...

[@fordastreeets8019]

@user-cb2jl5ti1c if baseball really was easy, then cricketers would've been playing by now. Baseball players make a lot of money. I'm not saying baseball is harder but if u seriously think hitting a knuckle ball is easy, then u clearly don't ply baseball. Trying hitting a baseball pitch with a baseball bat, and not a cricket stick. I doubt u will find a cricketer that can dominate like Shohei Ohtani. Baseball and cricket are different sports

[@_sayan_roy_]

Baseball is quintessentially an American sport. All gungho with heavy reliability on unchangeable physical characteristics of the players without much technicalities, game reading and, strategy making. Just how American football is to actual football, baseball is to cricket. The latter are superior sports imo , arguably way superior imo.

@AlexanderWinterborn you've clearly never played cricket. The technique is so complicated and unique it'd take them a while to get that down. A baseball bat swing is a lot more natural to have a basic level with it

[@vicksksr9797]

@AlexanderWinterborn Yes it is harder when it is legal for a cricket ball to target the face, neck and chest. Baseball players would need quite a lot of conditioning to not get injured, the skill comparison will be much later, if at all relevant.

[@erenjaeger-qy3yq]

​@AlexanderWinterborntry to play a ball that is pitched on ground targeting your head,toe or chest. Or a spin ball that turns like a snake. Cricket is not only about wild swings on full tosses,its much more than that

Judging from what I have seen of cricket, the first one he missed that said 90 did look around 90 mph.

Wicket protection

[@johnbull1568]

Not true. Playing baseball it would look like that because the ball has a small window, but in a cricket game they adjust their lower body all the time because the ball can bounce up at any height, length, direction and speed.

[@cricketexplained8526]

Sounds like you haven't watched that much cricket.

[@Raynax235]

Maybe when swinging a baseball bat. But in Cricket footwork is very important. So much so that you can move almost a metre to hit the ball

[@Raynax235]

Footwork is very important in cricked , they can move 2m down the pitch if they want. But in terms of power , its not required as much as in baseball
