I'm not sure exactly what's happening here. His uniform looks like he's been playing already, so not his first at bat?

Funny!

As to why his uniform is already dirty, maybe a double-header? Do they change in between games? Not sure...

Maybe he was a pinch runner.

From browsing baseball sites recently I've been seeing these guys pop up more and more and they do stuff like this all of the time.

Further, they play some exhibition games with the most ridiculous rules.  I want to go watch a game one time.

After a dropped ball on strike three. In this game they can steal it anytime.

That’s actually about the tamest of all of them if you consider this is one of the rules that MLB has been pondering and experimented with a year or two ago in, I think, the Atlantic League. 😉

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
