Completely changed the course of direction for the 1990s @Yankees. Also, one of the best interviews on @ESBPodcast (EP #91) with @therealjleyritz breaking his full at-bat down! #RepBX
[#5] 1996 World Series Game #4 @Yankees vs. @Braves October 23, 1996 Jim Leyritz hits a game-tying three-run home run to make it 6-6 (after trailing 6-0). The Yankees won the game (F/10: 8-6), and eventually the 1996 World Series. #31Days31Years31Moments #Postseason #RepBX

Step in the box then guy. Go ahead. Bat is half the size and you can’t move your whole body. Do it
In baseball you know the chucker will throw it exactly in that box (predictably max) Now in cricket just imagine the ball being bowled anywhere from the centre of the pitch hitting your head to your toes with the variables of the pitch.

So Chapman hits 105 MPH stationary, you give him a running crow hop to throw how fast do you think a Chapman or Miz is throwing? They will throw so hard it will literally kill the batter. With protection. It’s not a contest.
I worked with a group of pro cricket players from India a couple years ago Cricket is very very very hard, completely different swing mechanics (duh) and bowlers are legitimately insane Those guys also struggled with 50 mph fastballs that were standard BP for my HS guys/girls

LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cricket fans call this one of the greatest catches of all time but tell me how I’ll see the same shit happen by a dad in the stands of an MLB game with a beer in one hand and his 4 year old toddler sitting next to him 😂

Do people not think that every baseball player who’s ever played stick ball with a broomstick and handball in an asphalt school yard would absolutely dominate cricket?
Average baseball player will piss if they had to catch the balls with their bare hands without gloves

Vlad Sr would object
Baseball players think a full toss is a big deal lol 😭 They haven't seen the bounce, swing, seam movement, and spin of a cricket ball.

Also if this were remotely true, MLB would be filled with former cricket players. Why MLB pays farrrrrrrr more than the average cricketer makes anywhere in the world. Cricket players would be flocking to MLB where mediocre players out early nearly every cricket player. But there are exactly 0 of them in pro baseball. Because they can’t play.
Replying to @BronxBmbrz
A pro cricketer can become a pro in baseball can't say the same for baseball players cricket is way more technical the way ur guys bat and pitch the ball that type of shit is literally done by a child who's playing cricket in the streets

I hate where the “plane of the swing is” make it simple, if the end of the barrell crosses 1B/3B line. Which is lined up with the corner of the plate btw. It’s a swing. This random plane, you can hit a ball and it’s not a swing be this definition.
This is how Yandy Diaz’s swing that ended WS Game 2 would’ve looked under the Automatic Check Swing challenge system they’ve been testing in the Minor Leagues. It wouldn’t have been ruled a swing 👀

Also let’s compare levels of athlete Which one looks like they professional sports at the highest level?
No disrespect, But here's some harsh reality: A cricketer can play baseball and with enough coaching and prep some might even go pro. A baseball player becoming a cricketer? Not even reach domestic level. Not even as a batsman. Bowling? Lmao,Thats different beast All together
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Cricketers rarely reach pro baseball beyond minor leagues (e.g. Rinku Singh); baseball players have transitioned to competitive cricket including national levels, contradicting one-sided claims. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_D… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogo_Kim… cnn.com/2015/01/20/spo… theroar.com.au/2008/08/06/cou…
