We Hit A Baseball Until The Cover Came Off!
Summary
TLDRIn a grueling test of endurance and baseball durability, a group of friends took on the challenge of hitting a new baseball as hard and as many times as possible with the goal of knocking its cover off. Starting with an average lifespan of seven pitches, they swung away, one after another, tracking the ball's condition and their own physical responses. The ball withstood over 5,000 hits, showing only minor signs of wear around the seams. Despite the group's hands blistering and the bat showing some wear, the ball remained resilient. As the count approached 5,800 swings, the seams began to fray significantly. Finally, on the 5,894th swing, the baseball's cover was dramatically knocked off, much to the surprise and relief of the exhausted group. The video also humorously explores various recovery techniques for their battered hands, including a controversial suggestion involving urine. This extreme test not only demonstrated the durability of a baseball but also the power of teamwork and determination.

Transcripts
the average lifespan of a baseball is
seven pitches but we think a baseball
can last a lot longer than that so we're
going to try and hit this brand new
baseball as many times as we can as hard
as we can they try and hit the cover
off let's check it out all right
anything different you did no damage
okay well it's going to take a while
it's going to take a while we didn't
actually think this challenge would be
done after one swing but we also had no
idea how hard this was going to be our
first tactic was to take 25 swings each
between the five of us trying to hit
this baseball as hard as we possibly
could so we're 25 swings in overall
though ball looks pretty intact look at
the bat a little Mark here along with
the ball we're going to see just how
well the king ofo signature bat holds up
with all these swings Maybe This Bat
will break before the ball does all
right TR turn our Focus right now is all
about power that was like 250 dead
center and we needed Trevor to swing
harder than he's ever swung before 95
I'll get you a 95 I'll bet you a dollar
you
won't I know this means a lot to you to
get this Mighty
green oh my God why didn't you just do
that the whole time I just wanted for
the dramatic effect the leather's
getting a little rougher on this side
you can see some of the Rolling paint
that's probably just from hitting the
net right stop choking up bro it's like
34 big ma was struggling as this isn't
exactly her type of bat so Eric gave her
a different goal just go for 69 that's
your that's your goal let's fire up the
69
counter perfect how many do you think
she'll get by the end of these swings
answer in the comments Below guys you
have to hit 69 on number 69 it's a
must it that was such not only did she
miss that
goal oh my God we almost hit hit tracks
ma would also start making potentially
disastrous mistakes Oh
my Jesus the ball how do you do that hey
that's L Cheo right there nice little
what looks like a slice that
can Target first swing I'm going say 93
oh oh no read
have you tried wanting it more no
[Applause]
it's hey as Tosh brought some real power
hitting we were hopeful that he'd be
able to hit our next mini goal of
hitting 100 mph on swing 100 four more
we need 100 on 100 he's got it
no we are now 100 swings in and it's
definitely getting a lot squishier
especially around the seams the bat is
still really good along with the bat I
wanted to see how my hands would survive
this much hitting without using any
batting gloves this is what my hands
look like now let's see after all these
swings 101 on swing 101
stop that's bad that's a great swing
while I may lack real speed I more than
make up for it with my raw determination
you ever hear someone grunt
85 25 swings down and the regret of not
wearing gloves was already starting oh
no that's a terrible one that on about
the first 25 swings for me you can see
here we got a little bit of a blister
form in there but uh overall hands feel
okay do we need to update cuz Cole did
nothing to this ball and now that we've
all had a chance to hit this baseball we
need to make some predictions on how
many swings it would take to hit the
cover off 8,900 12,000 15,000 7,100
swings 69,000 that's a little bit High
69
6900 we all hope that air Joo map was
off as none of us wanted to be here for
69,000 swings now what we will see over
time is that the exit velocity of this
ball will go down as it gets squishier
oh man that's why my exit velocity is so
slow let's [Β __Β ] go oh I guess science
won't stop air but perhaps fatigue will
my body actually hurts that's a lot of
swings 150 swings 150 plus heart rate
that's 200 right that's still in good
shape yeah I just don't know how many
swings we can actually full sand like
that you know that was all the fire
Trevor needed to start going full gas
dude you don't got 100 in you got I
probably do and to try to hit 100 five
swings get to
100 you don't got it that's no joke with
the wood bath would bet 100 it's no you
haven't done the breathing thing yet
play The Heavy
Metal 100 the
body if there's one thing you can bet
your life on it's ma hitting 699 even
calling it
69
69 I think it's perfect cuz she's
actually swinging hard that's her bass
Fe hey that's on my bat speed you all
see speed yeah yeah oh God oh God the
good news was that herwe was perfectly
calibrated to 69 mph the bad news was
that she really needed to calibrate her
launch angle oh my God [Β __Β ] how do you
do that guess who's going to get it off
first me we are 191 swings in from the
hit track or maybe she capped it on
reflection we should have actually done
something about the launch angle problem
oh my
God
no this content is
over does that count does that count it
counts it counts okay 197 get it off our
200
swing
yay the hit TRX all right swing number
200 do something cool don't hit the hit
track again don't don't
hit so we're 200 swings in you can see
here we have our first seam that is
frayed I don't know if that was because
of pitx or not but we're going to go
with the 200 Swings with the ball saved
Eric tried to fix Mar
swing what swing training cool we're
going to analyze your swing so you load
here right and then you're
going and if you look at if you see that
finish the whole thing is trash baby I
love the way every day we love hundos
we're going to do two in a
row oh
wow that was definitely
100 Yip tracks oh no oh no oh I thought
that broke this is serious foreshadowing
so stay tuned realizing there's so many
hours in the day this was our first
effort at speeding up the process of
getting the ball back onto the teeth
ball on the loose oh my God that
wouldn't make it any easier on our
bodies though oh shoulders hurt lower
back hurts pain a lot of pain clearly a
better use of this time for me would be
to try and improve my swing I have a
serious case of the rollovers and this
training aid promise to stop that I
would watch your face on this first
swing preventing rolling over huh if
this works as a multi-million dollar
company that felt like it rolled over
looks like the sheer power of my swing
simply can't be stopped and this thing
did nothing except join me for 25 more
swings making the ball a bit softer what
if we just hit the cover off the
baseball and finish video what if we
just hit the cover off the
baseball what do you think Cole like
right along that scene oh dude for sure
yeah it's a lot a lot softer Eric
decided to mix things up and swing Lefty
for his next 25 swings and was pretty
seven to hit 100 with his opposite hand
[Β __Β ] my god dude sometimes I hit hard or
Lefty I don't
know oh god dude I want hit the 169 it
takes a special person do more yeah
basically show T at this point we
started to understand that we needed to
ramp up the swings oh oh so Trevor fired
through his 25 swings and we hit 300 oh
my God oh my God are you guys not tired
no I'm like my hands are breaking up
hard too bring back six-pack Eric Sim he
had a six-pack that he could push out
and even when he pushed it out it still
had ABS ma was becoming our most
consistent hitter once again knocking
the ball out of the
cage [Β __Β ] are you serious how do you do
that I don't
know oh that should count you got to put
that in there and dominating 69
mph two in a row oh my who am I let's
hear from our favorite Joo hitting coach
who knows everything about hitting for
power and average
you know what you call this two-piece
nugget have you ever heard of that
before yeah McDonald's it's a two-piece
nugget of a swing it means it's shitty
if you're rotating right if you're
rotating right you go
here and then that right now what Cole's
doing is this not that much progress on
the baseball was getting boring pretty
fast let's speed things up here Tosh
Racers through the 350
uh-oh oh my God no nothing major team
morale was starting to drop and you can
see on Eric's face I rolled through my
next 25 swings still nothing but my
hands are starting to show some weere
you can see this this is all starting to
build up Eric gck through another 25
swings all right switch then Trevor did
the same then ma continued to try and
break expensive
equipment oh my God and then when Trevor
and Eric helped Tosh fly through his
next set of swings this happened pretty
damn quick r
[Applause]
and just like that our glorious light up
te met its unfortunate and unexpected
end the ball fell off Tosh swung and
destroyed it B bat still
great oh
no you know what's funny though we tried
to either break the ball or the bat and
the first thing we broke was a teeth if
this was any other bat we'd be extremely
worried but this was a king of Jugo bat
This Bat is Built Tough it's built
different and it's built to hit
everything but a baseball and if you hit
the link in the description you'll be
able to get your own Joo bat certified
for hitting tanks lifting small bunes in
the ball or if you prefer smashing the
[Β __Β ] out of rinth dark te's but now with
the best te in the facility destroyed we
subbed it out for a crappy te and got to
swing
475 there was still no significant
damage to the baseball so I stepped in
and I gave it everything that I had do
you want the te down yeah a little bit
if you can but does it not go
down Rous stuck here dude this is the
worst tea possible right now for
us speed more more passion more
energy ow I'm Starry to get a a blister
like right here though
dude yeah now 500 swings in this ball
was definitely changing knowing where
the ball's at right now are you
adjusting your guess on how many this is
going to take I I'm comfor I am I am I
want to go lower lower lower what do you
think I don't think it's going to go
over like 3,000 3,000 I think we're not
getting to 8900 that was my number I'll
change 12,000 ma it was ma I said 12,000
idiot and by this point my hands have
another blister forming and they were
definitely starting to steam meanwhile
Trevor identified that if we stretch the
net on the cage the ball will bounce
back to us faster and Eric is running
experiment of his own science science D
every time I yell science it read 30 do
you read it science no it didn't read I
swear to God try it was reading my my
voice saying science 30 mph that's what
you're saying 30.9 mph science
science
science I'm done Tosh left to continue
being the king of dads and the bounc
your net was helping us get through the
swings faster oh Eric and I took things
a step further with a speedy play and ma
was determined to knock $330,000 out of
the sky not just once oh my God
unbelievable Ma put twice oh my God
and with another round of swings for me
we'd hit
600 ooh a little V there oh my goodness
it's getting a little harder to see
where that initial scene we broke was
that was our fastest 100 swings by far
so we got to keep by far look at
this Perfection number 69 is it's like a
Monumental achievement and we have to
hit 69 number 690 690 on this is the one
no
no we have not hit a single mini
challenge which was terrible for team
morale but we noticed something about
the ball that we hadn't thought about
it's a little warmer like feel this
baseball that's baseball we have feeling
feel this
one yeah it's definitely there's some
energy put in this ball definitely heat
it up some this ball is definitively
harder than this one the ball we've been
hitting is like this is squishy it's
like almost t-all you won't S
it no Muma
we pressed on relentlessly and in no
time we hit 800 there it is 69 800
800
31 nice our seams back it's poking out
texture of the leather is very rough I'm
starting to get blisters here and here
now uh it definitely hurts I give it
another 100 swings before these start to
open up oh I think if we get closer here
by now we' lost interest in the xavo off
the bat
we moved the tea closer to the net which
would allow us to feed the tea faster
which only required one person's help
instead of two this was the first day in
our Quest and we had agreed on a daily
group goal of a thousand swings what
better way to celebrate than by looking
this athletic while
[Music]
yelling
Dr honestly after all this effort I felt
a little bit disappointed I truly
thought we'd have broken some seams or
at least split the leather leaving with
only one seem just may me question how
long this would actually take with a
solid rest we were back and ready to go
especially Tosh who had to leave early
on day one ow and after each of us took
a round of 25
swings one more 1,00 we decided it was
time to move on to 100 swings each so
that we can make our way through this
challenge a lot faster still no major
changes long physical challenges like
this probably test your mental strength
more than anything looking great over
there bud just waiting to and even
though it's only day two you'll see that
we were already starting to lose our
minds
1,300 [Β __Β ] and it's not like our swings
are going to get
stronger still no major updates you can
see here after 100 straight swings it's
starting to get really red oh my God 100
check this out I'm not even choking up
today sick
right
St more more harder seems still look
about the same but it looks like there
might be a little bit of Separation
right here I I don't know if that's
going to open anything up anytime soon
hey guys you wonder why I'm single it's
cuz I spread my Friday nights hitting
the ball but even if you're descending
in the madness you should always take
time to work on your
swing dude you're going like this what
should I do don't do so when you this is
incred no seriously like when he starts
his swing you like do this don't fing do
that go from here like that okay what
look look look look you're going here to
like this yeah don't don't leave with
your back elbow just go here like
straight this way okay that's why your
elbow hurts Eric I've been hitting with
you for 2 years and you've never given
me any
advice here right so try not to lead
like this so down swing down on the ball
correct chopping it like a sword okay
you're still kind of tucking it but I
mean that better that feel
better Eric it looks way worse he's not
doing it
right am I a good hitter now that I've
taken hundreds of swings off the teeth
no and with those crucial improvements
last one for
1500 hey that was a good round that was
a good round still no major updates but
getting progressively squishier and
squishier around the scenes I'm the goat
you're the goat you're him Mike Tyson
I'm basically Mike Tyson [Β __Β ]
baseball and then out of nowhere Eric
challenged all of us to an athletic
speed contest could you imagine that hey
we're going to time this we're going to
do I'm not going to do the 50 quickest
hey all of us have to do it I'm going to

this it's ripped a stick is starting to
come up it is it is right here is just a
little loose here back for day three and
we were locked in with a brand new tea
that was not going to let us down Tosh
was set to work on the scene and on
swing 2035 I could see progress however
Trevor didn't agree hey guys look at it
this seam starting to come off I don't
want to hear anything about this scene
we've hit this ball
2,35 times and nothing has happened but
after Tosh was done Trevor changed his
tune good round dude that seam is a
wreck you see though it is a w the seam
is harden
up I got a big ass we going for speed
we're going for power what are we going
for here you don't have power so we'll
have to go with speed I have power
relationships amongst the group we're
being pushed in this challenge
especially with Eric dude hit it right
here so it jumps right there that wasn't
that was right there H it here and Jan
hop [Β __Β ] how hard is that thank you not
going to lie I'm getting out of breath
you're out of shape bro you're more out
of shape than me I'm out of shape yeah
you're out of shape I'm in shape you are
a shape swing hard swing hard swing hard
swing s hard you're such a that was
trash maybe it wasn't me though because
minutes later he he'd give up on Ma I
think it would be faster if I just do
myself have one this I got
it what is this what too much cardio and
Ma who now couldn't reach hit tracks
started to take her anger out on our
brand new tea was terrible oh my God but
the group stress levels would eventually
be settled when Eric shared something
deeply personal about himself what are
you guys favorite movies mine's Rush
Hour your favorite movie is rush hour
it's a great movie what do you guys rate
uh rush hour out of 10 the first one
first one watched it an eight yeah I
think an eight I think saw I'm giving it
like an 8.7 so then how can that be your
favorite movie is an 87 nothing beats
that though nothing beats an 87 what is
this a pizza review what would you
consider an average movie then average
would be like a
six what's a below average like a three

mentally dropping out this sucks I think
this is great why are we doing cardio
content I don't get it I'm enjoying we
should do more fun stuff this is fun no
it's not fun you're not having fun this
is miserable what would you rather be
doing right now go play a game this is a
game it's called hit the ball and tell
the
I don't like it it's have millions
swings I always want to go face like a
high school team and just hit a [Β __Β ]
tank off them I don't know how to spell
pe's how p e a e what no even at his
worst he's still giving it everything
that he's got and even at the time and
energy to tell us about his favorite
subjects in school I don't do history
bro what do you do
math I'm pretty good at math simple math
12 * 12 uh single digits
2900 so bad what does add up is that
Trevor brought us all the way to 3,000
swings but is this ball still surviving
I am Mr 3000 I was so excited going into
today cuz I thought we'd make a lot of
progress but this is just making me sad
bats holding up just fine outside of the
dent that we got in it from the tea
Early on the black marks are coming from
the
tea no Eric today we might see Trevor
looks like it's just myself ma Tosh
what's our goal for the day try and get
like one more seam broken bro I just
want that seam to pull out and in order
to bring Ma's dreams to life Tasha
decided to step up and take 300 swings
in a row maybe he should just rename
this guy leonitis and after taking his
first 200 swings in a row Tosh might
have been feeling it a bit but he was
really making some progress and we're
starting to see a glimpse of Hope here
with this second seam one below it is
starting to break just a little bit but
as the war raged on we noticed the shape
of the ball was starting to change yeah
it looks like a little morphed on the
top here yeah and after hitting his gold
300 swings Tosh really turned up for the
team we didn't see much changes to our
baseball not much change my blister has
a blister though that's cool you feel a
blister already I already had one on my
thumb I ripped it open that blister
wouldn't be the only self-inflicted
injury from ra as she loses focus and
let the bat swing into her ankle Jesus
despite the potentially career any
catastrophe ma finished her 100 but we
were already starting to break
3400 this portion of the swings has been
way more Soul crushing than in the last
couple though but just when things were
looking down ma heard a knock at the
door and guess what arrived her birthday
box from good shop today's box we got
ground beef golf shrimp boneless
skinless chicken breast beef riy steak

this ad read because I got to get back
to telling this story yep we're finished
from there Ma and I took us all the way
up to 3600 swings 57
No god dude and we finally finally had
something to show for it this seam is
starting to break loose just like the
other one did damn maybe this wasn't as
exciting as I thought it would be but
the next update was for sure a huge
milestone one two almost three seams
that are breaking finally I have
officially my first broken up blister
it's pretty gnarly took about 200 swings
in a row today to finally get to that
point oh we got to get that to 3700 it
wouldn't take long before Ma's hands
would look like mine and to make it
worse our progress went backwards she
now has blisters that are breaking open
the seams that we just broke open
definitely just got hammered back in but
we did have a real sense of
accomplishment by putting in this many
swings ah
4,000 oh I'd say our hands took the most
damage today I've got blisters that are
starting to open up everywhere we were
pretty happy to have Eric's positive
attitude and incredible knowledge of
baseball back here again looks like Ma
and Cole did a lot of damage here uh
ripped the what is it the seam is it
seam seams rip the seams apart we got
two of them now before we only hit one
today could be the day today is
definitely not today could be the day oh
very bouncy Tosh how did the hands feel
out through yesterday they're sore I was
smart and put hand sanitizer in it oh my
God which just burns the nerve endings
has anyone tried peeing on their hands
yet no I'll do it I'm telling you it
works can you film it don't worry this
would not be filmed but I might actually
try this out so stick around to the end
to see if I do that was
sick oh that was sick this cardio and a
half bro and
4100 one injury we didn't foresee was
Cardiac Arrest which is clearly our bad
as we knew Eric would be taking part in
this video and he's clearly at a high
risk bro I'm actually like my chest is
like cramping every time I swing Eric I
went to Urgent Care my sophomore year
for that I'm not soft like Ma I'm not
going to stop content just because my
hand hurts after nearly dodging death
Eric finished his 100 swings and had
done absolutely nothing to the ball King
a nuko my left nut and not only that he
was providing absolutely no support
whatsoever oh no up don't you don't you
dare touch
it you'll get to see the perfect insight
into what it's like working with Eric
and how he tries to motivate us to get
us through our day just really Mar you
going to sit down what is f choir
practice
4,300 there three seams poking we do
have three seams poking I put Band-Aids
all over my blisters but this bandaid
just came off
so oh that's all you get for being cocky
you son of a you're like the opposite of
that song put me in coach I'm ready to
put you're the opposite of you're like
Take Me Out coach I'm ready to be taken
out take me out I hate that song so much
M you thought when you signed up huh you
thought content was all this you know oh
you know I'm just going to have fun and
uh you know I'm going to be a million so
no got earn it until you throw up I've
actually thrown up before uh in Korea
they did um like a quick like a soft
house but like quick quick the coach
does that coach made me do 100 and I
threw up no way how old are you it's
like 10 10 having a coach actually make
you throw up at the age of 10 is
probably the reason why Eric is Eric Sim
but have you ever had a coach that was
that hard on you that you threw up when
you were 10 comment below ma ending
right there there's no way ma did damage
that ball we have another scene that's
starting the race way last Wing
4500 now we're starting to get multiple
seams are getting Lo multiple scams 4500
swings down and Trevor had shown up to
take the role of Eric's L league coach
faster
harder more energy and on swing
4551 this happened
dude it's starting to come apart a
little bit R dude I'm S I swear it's not
it's not ripped but it's starting to I'm
not even joking are starting to spread a
little bit what do you know about being
ripped oh actually I told you it's
ripped actually that's way better than I
thought it's not happening today no I'm
doing it today this had lit an inferno
under Eric and he was now going ham on
this ball we just hope that he didn't
throw up
theall oh my God got lift it more this
sounds like
cardiac 100 4600 and now these seams are
starting to spread out just a little bit
the sudden progress on this ball started
the discussion about who would be the
lucky person to take the final swing if
we get to a point where Eric is
potentially going to knock the cover off
of it we have to get him out of there
and let someone else do it correct I if
Co breaks it I'll be very mad oh we got
another little uh got more string coming
out of this thing break it takes Max
effort Max effort come on come on yeah
is that your max effort that looks
minimal effort at this point my hands
were truly torn
apart that was terrible ah dude it's not
looking fun no this is pain now if it's
like through the second yeah that's
tough baseball has an umbilical cord ooh
this blister that's not bleeding this
this bister is not back open Eric will
never approve of Trevor's technique at
anything that's
pathetic what what are you doing I mean
it is precision that's not Precision
minimal movement comes right back what
do you mean minimal movement look at
that right back he's doing extra
movements 4,800 swings in and this
string is just getting longer and longer
200
W look at this string look how long it
is in an effort to end this challenge
today Eric made a strong suggestion to
the group we're doing a 100 Max effort
we're going to die for this I think we
can break it here you're not you're not
we not breaking it here we can break
also not doing 100 Max effort you you
three wouldn't know cuz you guys don't
have bad speed we have bad speed tsh's
power however was starting to make an
impact yeah oh my dude the hole is
getting wider and can I not say that
Eric the more I hit it the wi the hole
is going to get that's
great look at him go he's going to have
a heart attack it's broken Eric I it's
broken no it's not he's only saying that
cuz he needs a break after six swings
correct he's just buying time right now
oh my God you didn't even hit the ball I
hit the string I swear why did you swing
at the string I tried to hit the string
so it like rips the string out that's
not the ball sounds off though right
sounds like echoey ech e and if you
haven't figured out yet the subplot of
this video is documenting all the dumb
things Eric says and then on swing
4,971 this
happened oh the string what happened
string from the baseball officially
out string is officially outside of the
baseball and we're getting some pretty
clear separation with the seams here
soft
5,000 we ready for day six even if Eric
sty wasn't what yo dude why is it moving
oh my God it's cramping literally ien
started I'm cramping not the best sign
but I've never heard a good side from
Eric we had a full Squad ready to take
the cover off this baseball my hands are
feeling better too all thanks to this
old baseball trick did you pee on your
hands I did yeah I did I'm thre like two
layers of skin and it was like bleeding
I don't know if it was a good idea but
did it help well well I don't know we'll
have to find out how did it feel when
the warm pit was hitting in the warm
shower it's stung so from what I've been
told there are a lot of professional
baseball players that have done this you
pee in the in the shower but when you're
peeing it just pissed not the water let
it simmer for like a second I don't know
if simmer is the right word but and then
you let it marinate and then it starts
the recovery process by by the by the
marination and then your hand and the
piss Become One Singular thing together
like a one molecule that that's that's
science science this Joo science
explanation erupted a high level IQ
biology discussion with the team what
did I call my uh chest the other day
called it a scrotum scotum she said my
scrotum hurts even I wouldn't say that
what is scrotum it's the ball sack I
thought it was an [Β __Β ] speaking of
balls the beginning of the end was
actually
happening one after you look theous dude
check this out it's like our first
official broken scene oh my God check
that out dude we did it today is the day
so we can actually see inside of the
baseball here we can see the string this
is incredible that was it the signed it
was going to happen today the baseball
was starting to sound different oh my
God this does not sound like a baseball
and every swing would bring big changes
hey there's some serious opening the
laces here are starting to come apart
little by little actually you guys just
try sitting down too it's a lot more
comfy and it's also faster really Ma you
going to sit down what is this [Β __Β ]
choir practice and now that Eric was
back the power was back as he wanted to
be the one that hit the cover off this
baseball
mhm uh-oh oh yeah
5400 and G was joining another peasant
over there and it was interesting that
Trevor had suddenly decided to show up
looks like Eric's head take your hat off
take your head off I will tackle you
right now oh oh we got some riage of the
leather right here too H why is he
suddenly trying to hit harder than he
was before dude he's actually dude today
the first day Trevor's swinging
hard going to cover up [Β __Β ] this entire
time
5400 here he's like taking gangster
hacks and I got 70 more you're a piece
of [Β __Β ] dude I want to make a short
saying I hit the cover off of baseball
so we did all this for your all
competing for that short will Trevor be
the person that finally knocks the cover
off oh what a game saving play right
there how hard are you hitting this you
think I think you're hitting like 80 mph
Max just cuz I generate my bat speed
easier than you do you don't have bat
speed that you can generate you don't
know how to generate bat speed with 97
EV I got to have some speed 97 when did
you when did you hit
97 if there's one person who can fire up
Trevor to hit hard it's absolutely Eric
so I think it's going I think this part
is going to rip off this way I thought I
was going to get it yeah this ball ain't
last until I hit again I don't think he
breaks it this time but I think between
you and Tosh it's going to
break bro I don't know if it's surviving
this round really
[Music]
no oh my God oh my God what's going it's
starting to fray here we now have go one
two three four seams Tosh could almost
taste victory but try as he might that
cover just would not budge oh dude that
doesn't sound good did you see that seam
come out but the seams are exploding
left and right seams are starting to pop
off left and right so it continued to
swing out of his shoes harder than he's
ever swung before dude the opening the
opening is large but unfortunately for
Tosh he would not be the person to take
the cover off
5600 and this baseball is officially
exploding every see we're getting closer
and closer which left the stage clear
for the most unexpected ending to this
story hey we had to stay late we took
extra swings it's got to be us I was
trying so hard that my hands were
literally tearing apart Lo dog you're
bleeding I'm I'm bleeding everywhere
right now my hands hurt so bad but after
pushing myself as hard as I could oh
little bat speed there my turn had ended
and I would not be the person to knock
the cover off this baseball about 15
seams here that are already broken we're
and we're getting closer and closer to
the frame here my hands are completely
got blood all over not wearing batting
gloves was a bad decision if I hit the
cover up the ball you're not the men
will come flocking hold on now wait a
minute is ma going to be the one oh it's
literally caught on the net look at that
no way jeez but even Ma's rage swings
couldn't help her she would not be the
person to knock this cover off I'm ready
I'm ready let me end this it's coming
I'm I'm ending it I can feel it and
there was only one person that could
stand in his room yeah dude no you don't
I the decision I'm the feeder I make the
decision I'm the one hitting I want I
want the ball you can't do that he KN oh
that sounds so bad dude I'm
I'm oh my god dude did the bat just
break no the ball it's the ball broken
I'm going to break it he only had 100
swings to do it would that be enough oh
my goodness oh my God oh my did he
actually have the juice oh the ball's
definitely more that almost hit the hit
tracks could he hold on to the bat oh oh
my God Jesus but on swing
5,843 this happened oh
oh wait
wait and look how close we are dude it's
coming out he only had 57 swings left to
Rob Trevor of the win could he do it is
he him can he really hit a baseball 450
Dead Center OH whack oh
where is it oh no no

movie of all time with only 15 swings
