MLB player: smiling barely swinging it Wiffle ball pitcher: YEAH YOU CANT HANG

I love how he just stands there with the whiffle ball acting like he owns the place

lol that wiffle ball pitcher was so cocky

When he said Ya baby you can't hang loney musta thought wtf wrong with you son

I bet the guy was cut from his high school baseball team

I like how they have beakers full of some science liquid when they are talking about plastic balls

Try the best best wiffle ball hitter vs a baseball pitcher

He acts like a bad ass but seriously it's whiffle ball you won't go anywhere in life

This guy is way too cocky for being good at a game comparable to pro nerf football...

I love how after he hits it at the end the kid gets all respectful.

This season, as of today, for Loney: .353 BA, second best BA in MLB behind The All-Powerful Miguel Cabrera. And he's played in all 45 games the Rays have played right now.

Man that guy is baked haha

of course it's hard to hit, it breaks four feet, he's closer by 20 feet, and the bat is half as wide. how is this comparable to the big leagues?

Reading these comments I've noticed a little plastic sphere can make a lot of people very angry for some reason.

I just loved the part where they face each other up. midget wiffle ball player vs giant baseball player

that pitcher reminds me of those 8th graders that think they're the shit b/c their the oldest in their elementary school...

Pitcher talked smack, made Loney look bad, then went outside and got in his Mom's car and went home to his basement Apt.

Now lets see him try to strike him out with a normal baseball

yeah but its from 42 feet away lets see that jerk throw from 60

"Hardcore world of wiffleball" cmon sports science I don't think so

Hahaha I love how Loney looks like a beast next to the host and the wiffle ball pitcher, even tho Loney's only 6'2 haha

The mlb player looks high

We started a wiffle ball leagues in 1994. Built an awesome stadium in the back yard and had stands. Not sure if we were pioneers of the leagues, but we definately brought recognition to it!

i love how he rips it when he actually gets a regular size bat and more than 2 pitches to adjust to it.

SIIIIICK!!!! I love this EPIC showdown!!!!

I think one of the key reasons (other than the movement of the ball), is the light bat. It is odd to swing with for sure.

Actually, the pitcher in this video is now a pro at wakeboarding. That's pretty badass if you ask me.

Best sentence is "yea baby, you cant hang" HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That's friggin awesome.

I like how "hard" he tried to look in the beginning. Dude, its wiffleball!

I have a midterm tomorrow, how i ended up watching this video i'll never know

If he wasn't high he would have hit them better

Mlb player looks blazed

thank you

I wish I could pitch like that. Thumbs up, Brutha!

this is so sick

I was actully laughing when they said mlb slugger...James Loney haha. Look at him now.

we actually pitch from 48 ft too, 42ft is hella close and we use that for our medium pitch formats

@ParadiddleHeaven absolutely. Happens all the time in shows like these.

"yeah baby, cant hang" haha go back to your mom's, he'll go back to his mansion

@longjumperss44 True, but how pumped would you be if you threw strike after strike on a major league hitter?

Sport Science should do what’s faster hockey slap shot vs floorball slap shot

I didn't even look at the comments and i was thinking the exact same thing

How do you do the camera trick at 1:50

Also, those are some serious red eyes Loney has...

Oh my. He was taking it easy on him.

"I've honestly lost count of how many no hitters and perfect games I have thrown..." Yeah while playing an obscure game that no one gives a shit about, tough guy.

LOL at James Loney being a rising star

right, its all about how long you have to hit it. it takes the same amount of time for both of those pitches to reach the plate

Where can I find a large wiffle bat, like the one they had?

Awesome and wicked wiffle pitcher!

I love how he acts like a badass

Bro he can play wiggle ball!!!! I wish I was him😑

Hell, the first time I threw a wiffle, I couldn't even guess the direction it was going to go. Any kid with some weekend practice can throw a good wiffle, because the balls are made with holes and weigh a fraction of a baseball. Wiffles are designed to pick up turbulence and speed, unlike a baseball.

james loney is a beast.

The batter looks like some superhuman next to the pitcher lol

oh a national championship in wiffle ball, thats a career to be proud of

I like how that pitcher was talkin trash til they gave my man a real bat and he ripped that garbage. That was funny

If you guys ever watch Joel Deroche in other videos, you'll notice how much slower he's throwing to James than in actuall tourneys.

Wiffle ball pitcher is such a stud. What a boss!

The distance from pitcher to batter is much less for wiffle, that alone makes it harder to get a read on a pitch. And actually, wiffle can be thrown faster than a baseball (from what I've experienced). I can only barely hit 70 on my radar gun with a 5oz baseball, but reached 79 with the wiffle.

I want to see that pitcher play baseball

He's the best player in the world in a sport. Yeah, he's earned at least a little of it.

They're not talking about the speed as such, but how much time the batter has to react. They stand closer in wiffle ball, so it's like trying to react to a faster ball from further away.

Diss it all you want, those curving pitches are cool as hell to watch.

Wiffleball vs Baseball is like Minigolf vs Golf. If you can't play the original there is the litte version for kids and backyarders. (But pitching wiffles is sure fun)

Anybody else laugh when the narrator dude said "HARDCORE WORLD OF WIFFLE" Oh yeah...that's super hardcore....

Haha in track wow thats some real talent!

No, a 75mph wiffle at 42 feet = A 105 mph pitch from 60 feet 6 inches. Basic math shows that from a closer distance a slower pitch still feels as fast as a 105 mph baseball fastball.

What I'd like to see is if you take a major league hitter and let him practice against these guys for a couple weeks. I'm guessing the results change pretty significantly.

ahhhh LONEYYY :)

YEAH BABY CAN'T HANG

did any other cubs fan like the mark grace strikeout at wrigley in the opening sequence?

Everything Joel did was scripted. How to stand, how to look, what to say, and how to act. It is TV! The dude is 100% the opposite of how he is portrayed on TV. The most humble, non cocky person i know.

Lolol. 3:35 batting gloves 3:39 no batting gloves 3:50 batting gloves again.

did anyone notice that he had his batting gloves on then at 3:39 he doesn't then back in the slow mo he does?

Imagine if the baseball player got good at hitting those pitches. He'd be unstoppable at the mound.

Yes

@i8dapuszy he's used to reading pitches. wiffle balls are hard to track, so its harder to swing in the right spot. he's guessing. and like they said. its like 105mph in the MLB with all that movement. its hard

I'll bring the popcorn.

i still cant get over that wiffle ball has a championship.

"Yea baby, ya can't hang"

The best part is when the whiffle ball pitcher talks crap to a MLB player. Im sure Loney is getting the better end, buddy.

@poppyseeds1823 I was thinking the same thing- either the whiffle ball dude is 4'10", or James Loney is like 7'6".

pause at 3:32, looks like JAMES LONEY hit the bong before coming to the set, anybody agree hes blown here

"Hardcore World of Whiffle" lol.

haha, i like this

Loney's got the ability to put up better numbers than he's shown since coming into the majors. If only he'd stop messing around with his swing and trust his hands more. Guy's a natural hitter and actually does have enough power to hit more than 20 HRs if he wanted to. Maybe he should spend some quality time dissecting footage of Garret Anderson in his prime. That's who he reminds me of the most, come to think of it...

not to mention why don't they compare his pitch to Nolan Ryan's Power curve? That is easiliest the Nastiest curveball EVER thrown!

Holy rollover

Loney must have cat-like reflexes to hit one of those

@cutegirl00179 true, but for example in golf, if it's windy, the ball can do alot more damage in the air if there's wind. Not saying glof isn't a sport, but if you want to compare, then lets compare

well the pitch that he got with the big bat didnt break much he basically showed some mercy on loney

I like how James was so high

2:38 haha^^ jeeeesuuus!

That would defeat the purpose of the game these balls are plastic way light.. 60 feet it would be so slow and easy to hit

Can somebody take a clip of this and put the clip of Bautista’a grand slam? Thanks

Hold my beer.

I don't know why there's even a comparison. It's two different worlds, wiffle ball and baseball.

its nice to see his mama gave him the cy young award im the greatest wifflier alive!!! thanks ma
