Watch video at 00:00
it's that time of the year again baby
what's up guys and welcome to MLB the
show a 20
it's nearly spring time we're a couple
of weeks away from baseball season and
that means it's time to start up our
series here on YouTube so you guys know
the deal we've been doing this for many
many years in a row this is one of my
favorite series we do I love it I know
you guys love it and we are gonna be
starting up a brand new journey on a
brand new road to the show so hopefully
you guys are ready for this be sure to
drop a like subscribe ring the bell all
the above don't miss any of these videos
you definitely don't want to and let's
go ahead and hop right into it here we
go where are we from we are gonna be
from the USA from the good old state of
Florida I guess technically I was born
in Florida so we'll go with that and
what do we want to play this is gonna be
interesting so I feel like we've played
shortstop a lot and I don't think I want
to play shortstop again this year just
so we can mix it up a little bit we've
toyed around with outfield a little bit
we actually had our position changed in
our last series where we went from the
infield to the outfield and that was fun
that was interesting but I like being in
the infield because you get more action
so I think what we're gonna do is we are
gonna run the three we're gonna run at
first base here should be interesting
good amount of action get some
interesting defensive plays but also
kind of focus on being a big bomb hitter
so here we go first name shoot I didn't
think about this what I think I've got
one hold on I'm gonna I'm gonna go with
Rick okay this this actually might be
cut a legit we're gonna go with a Rick
and we're gonna go with with roll but
we're gonna spell it a little bit
different I don't know I've always try
to find some different names and stuff I
feel like it's boring if you do the same
one too many times so we're gonna go
with a rick roll I mean I like jersey
number seven so we're gonna move on to
our next station we are gonna throw
right we are going to bat right looks
good to me and now we get to choose our
archetype baby here we go so we've got
pure power small ball
Rocksteady mister utility the anomaly
hmm really I'm kind of torn between pure
power or the anomaly so base
your major players here are you have
speed on the anomaly but instead you
have arm strength on pure power which is
a first baseman I mean arm strength
isn't going to be as important most of
the time we're gonna be throwing a
second base if we're throwing so I feel
like the anomaly is going to be a good
choice for us here so we've got that and
then we're gonna be able to move into
our personality I don't really remember
like it depends on the perks you unlock
down the line but I think heart and soul
was a pretty good one
I remember captain being pretty good too
now obviously being a lightning rod is
kind of exciting but I think heart and
soul from like a hidden perspective I
really I want to drop some bombs this
year so I think I'm gonna go heart and
soul
I'm gonna go captain I remember
lightning rod had they had Showtime
stuff so we're gonna go with lightning

Watch video from 03:00 - 6:00

rod to the third sorry maverick don't
have don't have time for you Rick roll
baby all right here we go
name and audio we've got Rick do we have
ro ll as a an option here oh it's
literally it's literally in here all
right Rick roll there we go I love it
let's let's hear it Rick Rolled physical
appearance here we can hop into this so
I'm not gonna spend too much time but
we're gonna mess around with it a little
bit height in inches shoe time 6 5 what
is that everybody 7 I think that 77 body
type do we want to be normal huh I'm
gonna be buff for sure next size
shoulders and stuff like I'm not gonna
go I'm not gonna go too crazy here we
can give ourselves some thick thighs
because they save lives baby Brown
height for a head temple depth yeah I'm
not I'm not gonna get too too crazy here
but we'll adjust some of the basics who
are kind of like the spiky short back
slick what do you guys think you with a
pump a door they're looking kind of
interesting we could even go with like a
little bit of longer hair would kind of
work right I think I might go with the
nest dude I don't know just to mix it up
a little bit we usually get some sort of
a high-top fade like tight kneel so I
think I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with the
nest here my hair's a little bit lighter
brown but I wouldn't call it blond or
anything so we're just gonna go a little
bit lighter there sideburn style dude
should we get chewy get
some sideburns I'm I'm down for that I'm
gonna go with the long skinnies we could
have some facial hair I mean this is
just everything I've always wanted well
I mean wait we could change this later
I'm pretty sure we could change this
later I'm kind of almost tempted to go
with this
okay so I've spent entirely too much
time on this but I feel like we're
looking pretty good here do it like with
the cap on and everything I feel like he
looks legit I kind of like having a
little bit longer here but not too long
you know it still looks like it's kept
up with a pretty good-looking guy I mean
I like I said I don't I don't really
rock with with facial hair you guys know
that but I feel like he looked pretty
good what do we want for our pants here
I like the high socks I like the the
stirrups there aren't bad we've got the
long but the long baggy ooh I like the
low socks do we like low socks or high
socks what do you guys think I kind of
like the high socks I think I'm gonna go
with the high socks glove I mean we
honestly probably want to wait to mess
with this until we actually know what
our team is and know what the colors
look like we're good baby I'm happy with
that so here we go we are gonna be
headed into the Bowman Scout day we're
gonna be testing our running our batting
our fielding we're going to be testing
everything MLB Draft some lesser-known
prospects give one last chance to make
an impression at Bowman's game all right
welcome to the Bowman Scout day
gentlemen this is your chance to catch
the scouts eyes before the top showcase
games will be calling your numbers soon
in the meantime I suggest stretching it
out here we go let's get it stretched

Watch video from 06:00 - 9:00

out we're playing for the East obviously
being from Florida we're looking pretty
good out there nice healthy mustache
really you know kind of shows what a
real man we are how much power we
probably have you know what I mean so
let's see how we did for speed looks
like we did pretty good that was kind of
a part of our archetype kind of a focus
we're really gonna try to drop some
bombs this year this prospect shares a
word with another prospect who just
finished up
did you see that Display of power they
are just laying them in their grip it
and rip it man
grip it and rip it yeah that was some
mistreatment of a baseball for sure
the scouts we will to see you square up
and make solid contact but we'll be
taking note of your power to stay within
yourself use the whole field and if you
happen to drive one or two deep all the
better I mean do we do we want to go for
some power it's here is that one is that
one sailed the distance nope not quite
that's just straight to the outfield
there that was a power swing I'll try a
couple of power swings here though I
mean that was a pretty solid one right
there that one we were a little ahead of
all right I mean this this isn't bad let
me try a couple of contact swings see
what happens with that see it's I mean
it's it's gonna be a little bit more
consistent we're gonna do a little bit
better job overall I mean I kind of I
kind of want to show off the power but I
also just kind of want to do solid so we
start with some decent numbers keep in
mind we're a brand-new player so we're
just not really making contact as well
as I would like that one was decent but
I mean I didn't go any farther than that
our normal ones I think I'm just about
to do normal swings just regular regular
swings whoo that was not not ideal there
there we go that's a single our draft
stocks going up shoot we at least got a
piece of it right yeah went up a little
bit there we go that was a decent one
right there I it's it's taking a little
bit we probably could have taken taking
some extra warmup time but we're
starting to kind of start them starting
to move it a little bit there we go
all right making some solid contact
we're we're at least putting the bat in
the ball here
I mean that's that's probably not
exactly what we wanted right there but
it's it's okay we've got a last pitch
here on power swinging
some decent contact alright I mean it
could have gone better to be honest we
had kind of a slow start there I don't
know why we were doing good in the
warm-ups maybe you boy got a little
nervous but um we'll take it testing on
fielding ground balls to the right here
alright just go ahead and pick that up I
can run this out this is easy for me
he's not very quick so ever to be able
to make that happen here we go see we

Watch video from 09:00 - 12:00

can do here I mean might as well throw
it out to show them we got a little bit
of an arm kick up got a dish it off to
the pitcher not bad still the same thing
here just gonna be going to first base
here we go whoa beautiful draft stock is
going up shoot we got a guy on first
base now so gonna be trying to turn to
try to turn to beautiful get back on the
back oh baby he was safe dang it as soon
as he throws we're gonna want to get off
the bag get in a fielding position come
on get back to the bag get back Shh we
aren't really turning to I don't know
why I've never played first base before
so I don't I don't know how to get back
to the bag get back to back we're in the
way I I don't know it's it's like it's
it's pausing and it's not letting us get
back to the bag we'll see what they
grade us and we're making a good turn
and burn to second there we go we got
the double play I would say fielding
went better than hitting that's that's
without a doubt but um overall I think
we did pretty well here we ago baby this
is it anybody can do anything in
practice but really it's about how you
perform in a game this is our first top
showcase game east first west our first
time to really show these Scouts what we
can do our first at-bat we've got a guy
on first base four seam slider and a
curveball to go up against let's see we
could do that first one's gonna be a low
four seamer it's good eye good eye baby
got a 79 speed and
60 on that guy on first he's he's gonna
have some wheels on him that's for sure
to moved at first and he'll get back
instead no wow it's here in the bottom
of the first so I think I think we might
be able to put something together here
let's see if we can get a little RBI or
something there it is that's not going
to be worth an RBI but it's definitely a
single at least on base so we'll take it
we'll take it baby
got to kind of work our way back I think
of the loading screen of this game it
said we were a 47 overall so dude it is
it is rock up the middle we we are he's
got a control we are a lowly renewed
when it comes to this and we're gonna
have a lot of work to do that's for sure
should be able to beat it out two
seconds there we go two guys in scoring
position throw gets him nice play for
the out all right
I could work with this let's see what
you give me Robbie with runners in
school got this frozen Robbie on of his
guys an early lead if he can come
through here could it take an extra
little step see if we can potentially
get a little they got the out but he's
still gonna get the RBI alright yeah boy
has made it to third come on Marie

Watch video from 12:00 - 15:00

hiding into the box
oh one count here we go
run run run run run that's gonna get
through I think let's go you boy made it
all the way around the bases for a run
scored and that ball game is a pretty
successful first at-bat I'm not gonna
lie here we go let's see if we could
follow it up with an equally impressive
his first opera defensive here's the
play here
easy feels easy reads baby let's go yeah
there it is show it all my my goods baby
here we go inning now
in now Easter up to - nothing we've got
a fresh inning here
fresh fresh half at least hearing the
wind they want to keep the pressure fun
high foreseen we cracked that bro again
to the later oh he's gonna be said of
trying to try to keep it in play but
that's alright I'm gonna go outside
slider wow you boy and everything went
with it
your boy has cause I checked that no you
did strike two
come on I definitely I definitely
checked that I tried to I like I said
our cheked cheked cheked thank you our
stats just aren't that good we don't
have that much control of the back and
everything else so like we've we've got
to be got to be careful here hit in the
air down the right-field line stay fair
baby that's a double let's go dude I'll
take it we're down Oh - able to come
back let's go baby really showing that
tenacity that focus and that clutch to
the second with a stand-up double any
hitter they can put that kind of charge
there we go now we're in scoring
position we've got a good spot here and
a pit that sees your star if it's on the
ground in the infield I'm just thinking
oh shoot yep that's not one where we
gonna run I was thinking about stealing
I don't know what our actual stats are
though so I don't I don't think it'd be
a good idea right now let's just play
this safe so we're gonna play this safe
here go go go go into right field that's
a basic gonna have to stay there
we're getting from second we'll stay put
at third runners on the corners one ours
now double play opportunity let's see if
Maury can come up clutch a little bit
here yet again an n des and their
runners at the corners now ready with
the Oh - ooh swing and a Miss he's gonna
strike out alright here we go let's go
baby from working out of a jam come on
Sergio Sergio Ordonez 2 on 2
here in the third he makes contact we're
just going to start running doesn't
matter where it goes
come on baby we stole second do tonight
no they got him I was going to say

Watch video from 15:00 - 18:00

should I have gone but they they got him
I didn't I don't know if we got a
stepping and notification to steal or
what but I didn't see it if we did or
maybe I won top of the fourth still a
two nothing lead look at at second base
here and the ground over the fur get it
there beautiful
we got it nice little DoublePlay able to
turn to we got a guy on third base again
no outs chance to bat in an RBI here new
pitcher though four seam sweeping curve
changeup at a sinker well he got a good
pitch to hit last time off I liked it do
that like that I like that I like to aim
maybe a low sinker certainly capitalized
on it last time the oh one pitch
something low that's gonna find a gap
let's go maybe your boy is too clutch
that's another double here as the run is
in to score from third no keep going
but what the heck he paused for a minute
broken base with an RV we made it second
double of the gaming a day he won't you
boys got a that's just a score and an
RBI already this is what I'm talking
about Jimmy to count here quickly
distinguishing sneaking guess the star
of the show you can nice little walk
we'll take it dude this is I mean
honestly I'm a little bit disappointed
with how we did in our practice I feel
like that's the same thing every year
though like we never actually do a good
job in a warm-up whatever you want to
call it and it here cleanly we're
actually showing out here though you
know what I mean look at that that's
gonna be another score and now this ball
is gonna wind up let's go mistakes by
the defense here we go stepping up now
Jim
Harper gonna be moving into the sixth
inning year we're up by G just gonna be
going a first base popped him up what is
this what is this what is what happened
okay thank thank goodness he actually
caught that I was confused it looked
like we were supposed to go to the base
but it looked like it might be above us
like I said I haven't played first so
it's gonna be a learning experience tie
ball game get a guy in first no outs
running fastball slider sinker 12 6
curve at a change first offering on its
way
check misses ball one there we go come
on baby yeah it's gonna be a clutch
clutch moment I just I didn't I didn't
like the pitch I think I think we could
get something better than that I'm gonna
say outside slider maybe yeah it's good
I'm looking for that running fastball up
as a sound plate and he just manages I
would love to be able to just rip that
come on baby let me see what you got
give me something
one takes a pass and this is that okay
okay okay okay that was kind of out of
the zone Trev we've been here before
that we got this discipline at the plate

Watch video from 18:00 - 21:00

and make sure that you get a pitch we
beat it out though that's unfortunate I
mean going through before with two
doubles is still pretty impressive but
that that's just unfortunate is put in
play to the right side of the infield
gonna stop him from getting the double
play at least I wasn't sure if he was
gonna get a hit there if it was just
gonna go through or what but we'll take
the stolen base stepping in now we're
gonna be in scoring position oh one
count I'm gonna take a little bit of an
extra lead here head out towards second
reigned in all right welp sigh ballgame
going into the last couple of innings
here I guess we're gonna see what
happens
oh man bottom of the ninth with a run in
scoring position and we're down by two
four-seam changeup curveball to slurps
so directly down the middle we will
never have anything like that again that
was it I tried to wait on it whenever we
guessed whenever we guessed the four
seams I tend to kind of like jump the
gun a little bit because I get excited
good changeup and I knew that was good
to be a great opportunity for us dance I
tried to wait it out tried to be patient
we just waited a little bit too long
that was that was a good rip there good
little good little hit I'm gonna go with
the high changeup here maybe low
changeup and two checks two to count at
first
and no swing it's bold high four-seam
he's gonna go back to his bread and
butter
come on the - - that's low be able to
lay off that here we go showing a little
bit of so you can't approve the nasty
here free passes this late come on I
mean we advanced the runner that's a
tough play but obviously that's not
that's not what we wanted there and over
which she started really hot for him
ended not so great we're gonna head back
to the clubhouse and regain for our next
game game - here we go fellas honestly
like if I could just have a repeat
performance of that first game I'd be
perfectly happy with it I feel like we
played really well we're batting like
625 yet 600 you so you know could have
been more perfect but I feel like
overall it was a great game so let's
let's just let's see we could do here
skip ahead to our next appearance looks
like we're gonna be playing Alexis Gomes
landshort here first guy in second base
so we're just here just looking for
looking for the out able to get this one
down we just tagged it we get over and
tag in for the out first at-bat in the

Watch video from 21:00 - 24:00

bottom of the second here we get a guy
on first base got one out let's see we
could do down three to one four-seam
changeup and a slider
alright similar to our first picture of
our last game which we handled pretty
well this could be - reined in to second
for one not exactly what we're looking
for but we're gonna be ok it's gonna be
fine
starting off a little bit slow new
winning shant to get underway got a
whole game to go that Alexis Gomez is
again you successfully lay down a sec
there's another little bunt just go
ahead and catch that step on the bag do
it all myself over here on first base
baby here we go get a guy in scoring
position being in and ready for another
let's close up this game a little bit
forcing forkball to seem in a slider
first pitch of the at-bat little late on
the fork ball that's okay one strike
Fernandez had a good look at it in with
one gone in the inning
Bonni looks like he's toying with him
here it's Owen - here it comes Owen -
that's inside not gonna be swinging at
that one it's one in two now acevedo I'm
gonna guess say hi he throws a four-seam
forceful a two-seamer and a slider did a
good sale I've here once it counts - and
he'll have another shot at it here
outside slider maybe we got one -
cracked it let's go baby hanging in
there and we are gonna get the RBI nice
little RBI double we've seen those a
couple of times through these couple of
games room now I got a little bit quiet
in the middle of that at-bat
I was a little bit nervous I'm not gonna
lie was it loving how it was going we
kind of swung it a pretty stupid pitch
but it's gonna end up working out for us
all right
two count here you dumb I'm taking off
pitch it's gonna have a job on the
roster really not gonna fit that seats
you're not our best idea ever but we got
them here we go let's show off our speed
to discount a little bit eh that's what
I'm talking about full count
this guy can get any contact and get on
base then we're gonna be able to get
it's not gonna work out bag still a nice
little performance for us got one more
batter here maybe third let's see what
you got I don't think it's gonna get
through well is almost a bad a bad throw
but that sarah has retired try to tie
things up for the squad didn't quite
make it down Miguel we're good can I
call for somebody to get picked off I
don't think I can't I think the pitcher
has to make that decision
to first be to get it there to second

Watch video from 24:00 - 27:00

for one yeah boy actually made a double
play maybe that's what ambassador was
trying to do it all of our practice runs
I don't know why we couldn't do that in
practice he wasn't letting us get back
to the bagging time but we did it their
tie ball game got a guy on first of
course seemed change-up the curveball a
slider right
the pitcher no I mean we had decent
contact in good timing it went straight
up the middle it just didn't end up off
the top of the 9th having any carry to
it here we go come on baby we're gonna
be fine top of the 9th we should have
one more at-bat in this game one and two
we'll see we could do liner oh well I
tried for you I thought it was coming at
us a little bit faster I'm not gonna lie
hey we got we got heart we've got soul
we've got hustled that's that's what
we're trying to trying to show here we
need this out though 100% cannot mr.
sellers he's got it run right back to
the here we go that's a dug house it's
not the doghouse its the dugout I'm
sorry here we go we got a guy on second
base third is it time to clutch up and
tie up this ballgame porcine curveball
splitter and a slider here we go Trev
this is it picture the Advan this is
where you make your money baby this is
where they they write down on those pads
they tell you how great you are come on
four-seam curveball slider and a
splitter we need this right now I need
this so bad
[Music]
round over the first scooped up the bag
for the out but meanwhile dude if that
could have been a little bit more to the
left
that would have been a decent a decent
hint I mean at least we advance the
runner but we're gonna end up losing
again shooting I mean I don't think it's
bad we we did go 1 for 4 there no that
wasn't ideal but we did have an RBI I
don't I don't think it's awful I think
we had a fairly good performance I think
for us this starting off in our career I
think we're in a good spot I think we're
gonna have a good foundation we're gonna
be able to move forward but wait is fate
this young hopeful receives a check-in
from his former high school coach
through the process I mean I could have
done more but I think we're gonna be ok
