Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Jimmy's Three Things. Today we will
Speaker 1: be talking about the Home Run Derby. I've created a
Speaker 1: new system. It's awesome maybe. And then there's another thing
Speaker 1: called Scatterplot Outliers, and then there's a third thing called
Speaker 1: All Star Game Fun Facts. Jimmy's Three Things is a
Speaker 1: production of Dan Patrick Productions, John Boy Media, and Workhouse Media.
Speaker 1: But the Cowboy had on and take it off and
Speaker 1: we're off the first thing. Okay, Home Run Derby. We
Speaker 1: were there. The ending was cool. The rest of it
Speaker 1: wasn't that great. I've heard that people that watched it
Speaker 1: on the broadcast also said it was rather lackluster. The
Speaker 1: in stadium experience was pretty dull for a long time,
Speaker 1: and there's a couple factors that I don't know if
Speaker 1: these are the factors. But this is my third Derby
Speaker 1: I've been to, and the previous format with no ball
Speaker 1: limit was amazing for the in stadium experience, but I
Speaker 1: understand the broadcast was really hard because you couldn't track
Speaker 1: the balls. They couldn't they couldn't track two home runs
Speaker 1: at the same time, and two balls would be the
Speaker 1: in the air at once. So for the broadcast, it
Speaker 1: was tough. That's where they wanted to slow it down
Speaker 1: for the d stadium experience. When we were in Denver,
Speaker 1: and then when we were in LA it was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It was genuinely I felt like how some grown adults
Speaker 1: feel at WWE or how little kids feel at Disney
Speaker 1: World those two years, because it was just like, oh
Speaker 1: oh oh, that one. That one. Only having one lefty
Speaker 1: kept an entire half of the stadium dormant and quiet.
Speaker 1: So again that's for the in stadium experience. I think
Speaker 1: you need a bigger balance. I don't know if anyone
Speaker 1: cares about that. On TV, and certain stadiums with their
Speaker 1: money prize involved, you're not going to be able to
Speaker 1: do that as well, because if it's a you know, Fenway,
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to have a ariety pop them over
Speaker 1: the monster, so you can't really do that. So those
Speaker 1: are some of the things. And then the star power.
Speaker 1: I don't think we had any balls hit over four
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five feet. You need guys hit in moonshots.
Speaker 1: You need guys guffawd. You know, I remember all the
Speaker 1: reactions to Judge hitting them in twenty seventeen or Alonzo
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen or Show Hey, Show on the third deck.
Speaker 1: Another situation is I think that ballpark just kind of
Speaker 1: shrinks homers because in right field there's no second deck.
Speaker 1: It's way too high when you have because that first
Speaker 1: row of seats in right field is like fifty seats deep.
Speaker 1: When you have those facades like the Yankee Stadium second
Speaker 1: deck or Philly or Astros, you know that ball lands
Speaker 1: in that second or third deck before it starts to
Speaker 1: come down. When they start to come down, your imagination
Speaker 1: of how far it would have gone gets ruined. So
Speaker 1: I figured out a system. I thought about how they
Speaker 1: do hard knocks. How they do hard knocks, there's like
Speaker 1: criteria for who gets chosen, and this is baked into
Speaker 1: a contract with the league and the teams that they
Speaker 1: all sign. And no appearance in the past ten seasons
Speaker 1: of hard knocks, So if you haven't been on it
Speaker 1: in the last ten years, you're eligible to be chosen.
Speaker 1: You a coach can't be in their first year. So
Speaker 1: if you have a first year coach not eligible to
Speaker 1: be chosen for hard knocks and no playoff appearance in
Speaker 1: the previous two seasons. So two stinkers in a row.
Speaker 1: You can't say no. If you have those, you can
Speaker 1: say no, which does wheedle it down a little bit.
Speaker 1: So my suggestion, which is never gonna happen because the
Speaker 1: negotiations would be awful. But in the next CBA, this
Speaker 1: is what I think would help the event get star
Speaker 1: power there. If i'm MLB and MLB's Players Association, here's
Speaker 1: my criteria that I wrote down. I actually didn't write
Speaker 1: down anywhere, so I'll just say it. Okay, you take
Speaker 1: if you finished in the top ten for home runs
Speaker 1: the year before you're eligible, will be chosen. If you
Speaker 1: are in the top ten in Major League Baseball for
Speaker 1: home runs the current year in the first half, you're
Speaker 1: eligibly chosen. I think that's gonna be weed you down
Speaker 1: to about fifteen guys. Then you have the caveats. If
Speaker 1: you've done it in the last two years, three years,
Speaker 1: whatever that would be, you can say nope, not I
Speaker 1: I already did it two years ago. I already did
Speaker 1: it last year. I don't want to do it this year. Maybe,
Speaker 1: like if you had an il stint in the month
Speaker 1: of May, June or July, you don't have to do it.
Speaker 1: Maybe if your wife's sick. You don't have to do it.
Speaker 1: That's where I tried to ask Trevor Pluff and other people, like,
Speaker 1: what are more caveats for people to say no? Because
Speaker 1: I want the players to agree to it. And then
Speaker 1: if you do get chosen, you should get a bonus
Speaker 1: or you should get a donation to your charity. So okay,
Speaker 1: So that's the one thing. The other thing that needs
Speaker 1: to happen in general for the Derby, I think, and
Speaker 1: if you were to do this, it has to be
Speaker 1: less rounds and less swings. These guys, that's the most
Speaker 1: swings they've done in a two to three hour period ever.
Speaker 1: And their bodies. It's a little risky for the obliques,
Speaker 1: for the shoulders. Judge got hurt in twenty seventeen. So
Speaker 1: you got to strength the field to six guys top
Speaker 1: three advance those three go win or wins two rounds.
Speaker 1: May it a two hour two and a half hour event.
Speaker 1: It's too long. It like really doles and loses its luster.
Speaker 1: So I put this into practice. I went and I
Speaker 1: got last year's top ten homer run winners Matt old
Speaker 1: Or top ten in homers, Matt Olsen, Kyle Schwarber, pet
Speaker 1: Alonzo Shoheo Tani, Ronald Leccuno, Junior Marcel Ozuna, Mookie Betts,
Speaker 1: Adolice Garcia, Luis Robert, Aaron Judge, Austin Riley, A lot
Speaker 1: of those names we've seen do the derby, which is cool.
Speaker 1: Did Louis Robert do it? He did, right, so I
Speaker 1: can change his name to red all right. So then
Speaker 1: this year, first half of the season, Aaron, Judge, Shoeo, Tani, Marcelo, Zuna,
Speaker 1: repeat names, Gunner Henderson, Athal Ralphaeld Devers, Josh Naylor, Christian Walker.
Speaker 1: So I went and I found out which guys have
Speaker 1: done it in the last two years. They did it
Speaker 1: last year. So last year, A Dooli's Garcia, he's out
Speaker 1: unless you make a clause that hometown kid needs to
Speaker 1: be in it. If you're if you're hosting and you're
Speaker 1: leading your team at Homers, you're in the fucking derby.
Speaker 1: We need you grow the game be exciting. Because when
Speaker 1: a Doolie's Garcia got announced and the stadium went crazy
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was like, oh shit, I
Speaker 1: want to root for him because that's a much better atmosphere.
Speaker 1: So you do need a hometown kid. But he did
Speaker 1: it last year, so we could say no. Mookie Betts
Speaker 1: did it last year, so he can say no. Pete
Speaker 1: Alonso did it last year, so he could say no.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna say no. Jay Ram did it in
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty twenty two, so he could say no.
Speaker 1: Juan Soto did it in twenty twenty two, so he
Speaker 1: could say no. Luis Robert did it in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: so he can say no. Ronald Acunyo Junior, Kyle Schwarber
Speaker 1: could say no. And if you want to watch on YouTube,
Speaker 1: I have these names on screen which would be easier
Speaker 1: to keep track of, So I chose six guys. Guess
Speaker 1: what show? Hey, you're in the Derby. Congrats, we got
Speaker 1: some money for your charity. Eat bacon, watch it and
Speaker 1: have fun. You can bet on it if he wants
Speaker 1: prison Bets, salt, Becketts and stuff. Aaron judged you're in
Speaker 1: the Derby. Wow, we just three x the viewership. All
Speaker 1: of Japan is now watching. We're growing the game, so
Speaker 1: they're in it. They can't say no. This is agreed upon. CBA.
Speaker 1: Did it complain to them fake an injury? Do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do, You're in it. I chose Pete Alonzo
Speaker 1: because he's not gonna say no. Come on, it's Pete.
Speaker 1: So you got those three guys. And then I also
Speaker 1: chose Gunner Henderson Young fun promote the game You're in it.
Speaker 1: I chose just Naylor because I think he hits long,
Speaker 1: high homers and he's like a spitfire of a human,
Speaker 1: like that'd be really fun to watch. That's five. If
Speaker 1: you want the hometown kid, Adolie Garcia say if it
Speaker 1: wasn't in Texas, you know the other options here that
Speaker 1: can't say no. Raphael Devers can't say no. Santander can't
Speaker 1: say no. Bryce Arberg, sorry shoe if he said Bryce
Speaker 1: Arbrough screen, he didn't lead. He's not in the top ten,
Speaker 1: so like obviously he's a big star, so there could
Speaker 1: be caveats, but this would guarantee you studs that are
Speaker 1: performing well and some stars because the top home runs
Speaker 1: a row stars here. So Matt Olsen can't say no, show,
Speaker 1: he can't say no, Judge can't say no. You've already
Speaker 1: got a better field than this year. You've already got
Speaker 1: more pop, more star power, longer home runs. Alonso can
Speaker 1: say no, he's not going to. Marcelo Zuna can't say no,
Speaker 1: but everyone else can. Austin Riley can't say no, Gunnar
Speaker 1: Henderson can't say no, Sotandar Devers, Nailor Walker. That's what
Speaker 1: I'd propose. It doesn't need to be that. You know,
Speaker 1: we can change the criteria. You know this year's top fifteen.
Speaker 1: If you think you need more options, you know, you
Speaker 1: can allow guys to submit themselves, and then the league thinks, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a star, he's better, let's get him. Bryce Arper
Speaker 1: wants to do it. They're not gonna say no to him.
Speaker 1: But this kind of guarantees it. And it all starts
Speaker 1: with like they agree to this at the CBA and
Speaker 1: the players who are having great seasons, no, this is
Speaker 1: on the table and they can't say no. And you're
Speaker 1: just guaranteed to get guys who will hit long balls
Speaker 1: and star power in there and then their shorter rounds
Speaker 1: because that's better for like consumption energy of the stadium,
Speaker 1: which then builds the whole atmosphere. Shout out to Greg Gamsinger.
Speaker 1: He was going crazy the whole night. Someone pointed it
Speaker 1: out to me. He was like, man, he's still got
Speaker 1: a li energy. I was like, he's been doing this
Speaker 1: whole night. That's nuts because how many times you say,
Speaker 1: come on, guys, let's hear it. Because the stadium was
Speaker 1: just falling asleep. Man, come on, guys, let's here pick
Speaker 1: them up. We need you to pick them up Texas.
Speaker 1: That was maybe every ten minutes on the in house PA.
Speaker 1: So that's my system. Let me know what you think,
Speaker 1: and let me know, like what other caveats should be there.
Speaker 1: If your team's in first place, they get to say no.
Speaker 1: That kind of stinks because you know you want that.
Speaker 1: The other thing would be some stadiums. It's really not fair,
Speaker 1: especially take away the cash prize. You know, you pay
Speaker 1: a million dollars to the winner right now, just divide
Speaker 1: that between the six of them or whatever, like, you know,
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty grand. That's not a lot to them.
Speaker 1: Maybe it goes to their charity and then they get
Speaker 1: the paid off and enjoy, you know, doing good deeds.
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty thousand times six or one point five,
Speaker 1: all right, so it's one million to the winner right now.
Speaker 1: Instead it's one point five divided amongst the six contestants
Speaker 1: to their charities or to them whatever they want, so
Speaker 1: it's not for nothing. And when you take out the
Speaker 1: cash prize, now you can tight loosen some of the
Speaker 1: rules and standards and say, we want three lefties, we
Speaker 1: want three righties, we want the whole stadium buzzing, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna rotate them. So the whole right field section
Speaker 1: isn't just asleep because we were sleepy out there. It
Speaker 1: wasn't for Grey. Come on, not get up, come on,
Speaker 1: let we need your help. We need your help. We
Speaker 1: need help. Shit's boring. So that's how I fix it.
Speaker 1: That's my suggestion to fix the Derby is make a
Speaker 1: system like the hard Knock system. Put it in the CBA.
Speaker 1: The players agree to it, they're gonna ask for some
Speaker 1: more carve outs. They're gonna say, if you've ever done
Speaker 1: it before, you don't have to do it again. And
Speaker 1: maybe we're fine with that, but maybe you want show
Speaker 1: Hey and Aaron Judge in it, okay, because I think
Speaker 1: the million dollar prize, I don't know if they wanted
Speaker 1: to they wanted to incentivize the big stars because now
Speaker 1: it's money. But I actually think what they did was
Speaker 1: anyone that's got a three hundred million dollars contract two
Speaker 1: hundred million. Our contract isn't gonna go enter these sweepstakes
Speaker 1: to steal money from the dude making five hundred grand.
Speaker 1: I think the big dudes are actually like nah man like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to take that away from Gunner Henderson,
Speaker 1: who can double his salary in one night. Let's let
Speaker 1: them and I want to let them shine. I want
Speaker 1: to let them grow, which is great. You need to grow.
Speaker 1: You need to grow new personalities and new players like
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson. But imagine if show Hey was up right
Speaker 1: after it, right before Gunner Henderson. Now who's got two
Speaker 1: million new Japanese followers? Gunner Henderson. That's how you grow
Speaker 1: the game. And you put Judge up, and then following
Speaker 1: him is whoever else did it? Yes night, Bobby Witt Right,
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's the first thing we've discussed it.
Speaker 1: It's over with. We're gonna move on to the next thing,
Speaker 1: which is Scott scatterplot Outliers, which I deleted, deleted all
Speaker 1: my leaderboards here, and I was I was hoping I
Speaker 1: was gonna run into more fun shit. So what I
Speaker 1: did was uh And if you're on YouTube, you can
Speaker 1: see a custom leaderboard stat cast. I was interested in
Speaker 1: some some some stuff, and I'll show you real quick.
Speaker 1: So I was just making a bunch of scatterplots, plots,
Speaker 1: most of them off bat speed or age. I'll show you, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a scatter plot. And on the X access, Uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do age, all right. And then on the
Speaker 1: Y access and I don't know if I'm using Y
Speaker 1: and X correctly here, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 1: But on the bottom one, the horizontals at why so
Speaker 1: maybe I had said that right, I don't think so,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Wait, which one's across for the people listening,
Speaker 1: X is the well people listening came to see it,
Speaker 1: so they don't care, all right, ex access is age.
Speaker 1: And then I went to all the slash lines and
Speaker 1: just so wanted to see, like, is there any any
Speaker 1: through line here? And guess what with age comes the
Speaker 1: worst batting average over time slightly It's like two point
Speaker 1: fifty at twenty years old, and uh, then it goes
Speaker 1: down to like two thirty for the first half of
Speaker 1: the season. And I was like, all right, so your
Speaker 1: average declines as you get older. We all know that.
Speaker 1: How about slugging that declines as well as you get older.
Speaker 1: So far in the first half of the year, so ops,
Speaker 1: that declines. But check this out on base percentage stays
Speaker 1: pretty fucking neutral the whole entire way. Old guys can
Speaker 1: see well. So that's just an example. And then I
Speaker 1: was finding outliers. So I liked doing bat speed because
Speaker 1: that's the new stat that we're tracking that people don't
Speaker 1: know about. So I wanted to do bat speed versus
Speaker 1: K percentage, which is the the sharpest. I wanted to
Speaker 1: just find one that was like the sharpest trend. And
Speaker 1: I think everyone this makes sense. The faster you swing
Speaker 1: the bat, the more likely you are to k because
Speaker 1: you're in less control, right, So some outliers here, this
Speaker 1: bubble is an outlier. Kevin Bigio, he swings the bat
Speaker 1: pretty slowly, sixty six mile power and average, and he
Speaker 1: kays a lot. And then this one's probably the best
Speaker 1: seventy six mile per hour bat speed, but only k's
Speaker 1: out of sixteen percent clip you're on Alvarez, So those
Speaker 1: are kind of the outliers of this in a way.
Speaker 1: And then walk percentage for bat speed. Also, the faster
Speaker 1: you swing the better you are at taking a base.
Speaker 1: I thought that was somewhat interesting, and then I kind
Speaker 1: of thought about it more. I was like, well, I thought,
Speaker 1: if you were swinging wild, real fast all the time,
Speaker 1: you're probably walking less because you sound out of control
Speaker 1: to me, you know, But I think they have that yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: swing and they know no, not it a lot and
Speaker 1: don't swing. So actually the chart trends up you swing faster,
Speaker 1: you're gonna walk more unless you are Luisa Rais. And
Speaker 1: that's when I was like, oh, yeah, contact hitters swing slow,
Speaker 1: and they know they can get bat to ball, so
Speaker 1: they put the ball in play more so they don't
Speaker 1: get so they swing more. They're not waiting for the
Speaker 1: perfect pitch like guys who are looking to slug and pop.
Speaker 1: So that made a little more sense when I put
Speaker 1: it into personspective. But then you got Giencarlo Stanton, who
Speaker 1: doesn't walk a lot and as the most bat speed
Speaker 1: he's a big outlier in that one. Sprint speed was
Speaker 1: the same realization for me right here. Okay, so now
Speaker 1: I'm going to change the X access to sprint speed,
Speaker 1: all right, And if you're fast, get on base so
Speaker 1: you can get on get over right, that's what you
Speaker 1: would think. You would think that the speedy guys walk
Speaker 1: more buckers what they walk.
Speaker 2: Less, because if you aren't, if you've got speed, like
Speaker 2: Ellie daily Cruz, just put that baby in play, put
Speaker 2: the pressure on them.
Speaker 1: So I was wrong on my general assumption. There some
Speaker 1: outliers would be Cosmani Grendl and Martine Maldonado. They are
Speaker 1: very very slow and they don't walk it all bad combo,
Speaker 1: bad combo. The best at this Elie de la Cruz,
Speaker 1: he walks a good amount and he's very fast. Bobby
Speaker 1: Witt Junior, he walks less than average, but he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's very fast. Who's this up here? Wan Soto obviously
Speaker 1: hest walk percentage in the league medium speed, all right,
Speaker 1: so sprint speed and K percentage reverse, which is obvious.
Speaker 1: So the faster you are, the more you're gonna k,
Speaker 1: which I that kind of grew, kind of grinds my gears.
Speaker 1: What nature of the beast? I guess. There's a couple
Speaker 1: of scatterplots I noted when I was doing when I
Speaker 1: was prepping for this, and then I forget about him.
Speaker 1: I screen shatted some Let's see what this one is
Speaker 1: this is bad speed and whiffs? Oh yeah, this was
Speaker 1: an egregious one. So the faster you swing, the more
Speaker 1: you whiff, makes sense less control. And this was swing
Speaker 1: length and fast swing all right, So let me find
Speaker 1: that because there was a big outlier there swing length,
Speaker 1: got a long swing? And would I say swing length
Speaker 1: and fast fast swing percentage? Now I gotta figure out
Speaker 1: what that is first before I keep going swing length
Speaker 1: and fast swing percentage? So how many times do you
Speaker 1: let it rip? Basically? Is that what fast swing percentage
Speaker 1: would be? Like? How many times are you getting after
Speaker 1: it giving it your a swing? So there was a
Speaker 1: big outline. Who is it? Gian Carlo stan is really
Speaker 1: funny because he's got a long swing eight point four
Speaker 1: units of measurement that they use. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is. Seconds, seconds, I don't know. And he does
Speaker 1: his fast swing ninety eight percent of the time. One
Speaker 1: swing king should be his nickname now. JD. Martinez has
Speaker 1: a really long swing. That's why he's breaking catcher's wrists.
Speaker 1: Remember that that's crazy. Uh, But he doesn't use a
Speaker 1: fast swing a lot all that's odd because he's like
Speaker 1: a power homer guy. I thought he was different let
Speaker 1: me see if there's any others I think are cool,
Speaker 1: because I really wanted to look at zone swing an
Speaker 1: out of zone swing. Because I'm gonna guess if you
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just guess this based on everything I learned
Speaker 1: from previous things. If you if your bat speed is slow,
Speaker 1: that means you have more control. Luisa Raise uh wit
Speaker 1: merrorfield is slow, and there's another one, Kwan, then I
Speaker 1: would think that you swing out of the zone more
Speaker 1: because you feel like you can get to it. But no,
Speaker 1: very slightly so slower bat speed. Guys like a Rise
Speaker 1: who's got a sixty three mile prior swing on average,
Speaker 1: which is the slowest in the league. He swings out
Speaker 1: of the zone thirty five percent of times, so that
Speaker 1: is kind of higher. He's an outlier. Ernie Clement who
Speaker 1: says Stan obviously he swings O'Neil Cruz, Javey Baiaz. That
Speaker 1: adds up. He's got a fast swing and he's always
Speaker 1: swinging out of the zone. Who are these guys that
Speaker 1: never swing out of the zone, Kwan? That's funny, Luisa,
Speaker 1: Riis and Kwan are different, but they both don't They
Speaker 1: both have slow swings. Arise expands the zone way more.
Speaker 1: Kwan does not expand the zone at all. Actually, what
Speaker 1: was interesting was Stephen kwan bat speed is slow. But
Speaker 1: when I did bat speed compared to slugging, Kwan was
Speaker 1: a pretty big outlier on this graph. So Kwan swings
Speaker 1: the bat at sixty five miles per hour, it's like
Speaker 1: fourth slowest in the league. His other batters that swing
Speaker 1: the bat that's slow. You have Luis Giorme who has
Speaker 1: a slugging percentage of like three ten. You have Nicky
Speaker 1: Lopez who has a slugging percentage that starts with a two,
Speaker 1: and you have wit Merrifield who had a slugging percentage
Speaker 1: that started with a two. Those three all had a
Speaker 1: the bat speed of sixty four to sixty five miles
Speaker 1: per hour. Stephen Kwan is the fourth member of that
Speaker 1: bat speed and his slugging is like five twenty. So
Speaker 1: that's a huge outlier that he's swinging that slow, but
Speaker 1: he's able to generate slug and some of those guys
Speaker 1: are fast too. Where they were Nicky Lopez is fast, right,
Speaker 1: big outlier. This guy Hovey Bayez again pops up. He's
Speaker 1: always an outlier. He swings relatively fast, no slugging at all.
Speaker 1: A lot of these charts were like, hey, Hovey, maybe
Speaker 1: change up your entire game. Go slower. This was tough.
Speaker 1: Jose McFly was looking at this with me and he
Speaker 1: was like, who's that guy And he pointed at the dot.
Speaker 1: That's pretty slow swing speed and really bad slugging. And
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, let's see who that is. And then
Speaker 1: it was DJ le Mayhew and we were like, oh,
Speaker 1: matches the eye test though, So that's stunk. All right.
Speaker 1: I got three minutes left for my third thing, which
Speaker 1: are all Star game fun facts one, two, three, Wow, Shelfy,
Speaker 1: you is right next to me. Phillies fan Cherry Pinstripes
Speaker 1: go listen. The Phillies have the most All Stars with seven,
Speaker 1: the most in their franchise history. Eight Now who got added? Oh,
Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez got added to make it eight. Luis Ariiz
Speaker 1: and Juan Soda are All Stars for the third straight
Speaker 1: season with a third different team. That's a fun fact.
Speaker 1: Arise goes Minnesota, Miami, San Diego, Sodo goes Washington, San Diego,
Speaker 1: New York. Wow, is there a guy that's done four
Speaker 1: for four? Stat Department? I don't know how to search
Speaker 1: that Paul Skeens is the first player to be an
Speaker 1: All Star the year after being drafted in the June
Speaker 1: Amateur draft. Really, I would have thought Strasburg did that, right,
Speaker 1: he was quick. Strasburgers drafted first of the two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine MLB June Amateur Draft. He made his debut
Speaker 1: in twenty ten. Punk you'll never be You'll never be
Speaker 1: Skien Strass blew it. Uh? What about Nolan Shanuel if
Speaker 1: he made the Aslar team, he could have done that. No,
Speaker 1: it was last year. Holy shit, that's cool. I can't
Speaker 1: think of anyone. What about that kid who pitched when
Speaker 1: he was eighteen for in Indiana Feller? No, it's another guy.
Speaker 1: Twenty four is the second straight season with at least
Speaker 1: four rookie All Stars. Oh, that's cool. The only other
Speaker 1: time it's happened in consecutive season MB history was twenty
Speaker 1: eleven and twenty twelve. That was like the Harper Machado,
Speaker 1: Will Myers Trout error. Right, who's the other guy? I
Speaker 1: feel like there was another one in that group that
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting. Huduckson Profar became just the eighteenth player in
Speaker 1: the al Slash NL history to play at least eleven
Speaker 1: seasons before starting their first All Star game. Profar has
Speaker 1: been around for eleven seasons. Obviously he has because we've
Speaker 1: been hearing about him for so long. But that's kind
Speaker 1: of crazy and awesome. Eighteenth player in al slash NL,
Speaker 1: which is just MLB history to play at least eleven
Speaker 1: seasons before starting their first All Star game? Who was
Speaker 1: the most recent? If I google that sentence, because I'm
Speaker 1: sure like Dalt gets these from an article somewhere. It's
Speaker 1: an article by Brian Murphy at spokes Underscore. Murphy thanks briy.
Speaker 1: Nine players whose first All Star Game start was worth
Speaker 1: the lengthy weight. We're gonna rip through this and then
Speaker 1: we're out of here. Nineteen thirty three, Babe Ruth, twenty seasons.
Speaker 1: I think they didn't have All Star games. Just think
Speaker 1: they didn't have them. Nineteen thirty three, Jimmy Dikes. Again,
Speaker 1: I think if I google first All Star game, they're
Speaker 1: gonna come up with nineteen thirty three, which makes that
Speaker 1: list starting first MLB All Star game? If this says
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three, Brian, I don't like that you included
Speaker 1: them in the article. It was impossible for them to
Speaker 1: be All Stars, it didn't exist, So Frankie Frish also
Speaker 1: don't care about you, Travis Jackson. Okay, maybe I should
Speaker 1: read the article. I think in the paragraph above he's
Speaker 1: going to disclose this, and I skipped it. Eight of
Speaker 1: the previous sixteen players were headliners of the nineteen twenties
Speaker 1: who obviously didn't have an early opportunity to play in
Speaker 1: the AL Slash and All Star Game. Why aren't we
Speaker 1: calling it the Major League Baseball Star Game? Why do
Speaker 1: why do we have to say the AL Slash NL
Speaker 1: All Star Game? That makes no sense to me? Which
Speaker 1: was established in nineteen thirty three. Okay, so I'm sorry, Brian,
Speaker 1: I that's my fault. See user error. I didn't read
Speaker 1: the paragraph that leaves nine others who did be debut
Speaker 1: after nineteen thirty three and spent at least eleven scene
Speaker 1: is the major before being honored as an All Star game?
Speaker 1: Who are they glad? You asked? Let's do it? My dude,
Speaker 1: Raoul Aban, Yes, I'm we. I mean we met Raoul.
Speaker 1: He's awesome. He texted me once after a breakdown and
Speaker 1: said he thought it was really well done, and he
Speaker 1: was like so nice, and I hope we get to
Speaker 1: do some stuff together. So congrats to Raoul walt Weiss,
Speaker 1: one of the better. Dugout go tease, Jerrickson, Profar, Dave Henderson,
Speaker 1: Frank Coward, Joe Adcock, Eddie Juiced, you say it juiced,
Speaker 1: Phil Cavaretti, And that's all all right. That was it.
