I Played The Weirdest Version Of Baseball In Japan 

Hey thanks for watching the video guys I’m the guy playing cap baseball in this vid. I get how people don’t understand what I mean when I say I “invented” this sport, as I do know that many people have been playing it locally forever. It’s a fact that for the first time in the world I officially started an Association where we can actually make this a profession, made the uniform rules, and run a competitive league. I don’t know anyone except for me that can make a living just out of this. Anyways, it was an awesome experience playing Cap Baseball with Trevor. He was the coolest guy I’ve ever met, and it was so much fun! He’s on pace to have a chance at winning most strikeouts or wins, maybe even other titles like the Sawamura Award. As a long time fan of Trevor, it’s an honor just seeing him pitch in person.

Cap baseball looks tough and super fun. The fact he wants to collab with Jomboy in the warehouse would be badass

Trev is so down to earth and so friendly with everyone. Not to mention on top of being an amazing baseball player, he is actually a really good RU-vidr lol

The American media has been real quiet since you’ve been doing well. Keep it up Trevor! We’re rooting for you🎉🎉

I don’t mean to be insensitive to Trevor but I’m liking this content. Good to see a baseball player not be soo serious or live a millionaire lifestyle. I don’t think we would have seen this side of him if he stayed in the US. I hope he’s having fun over there

So cool to see more and more of trevor's teammates chatting and joking in front of the camera

As a local, I really appreciate you for digging this deep down the culture here. Please keep on doing what you're doing and we're thankful for that!

I love it when the other plays just go in front of the camera and do something funny

Congrats on your 4th straight win trevor. For those who don't know he won against Hanshin today

YABAI (やばい) originally meant "field of arrows" (矢場). It has had meanings of "dangerous" and "crazy", and in modern times it also means "amazing". It feels cool!

Hi Trevor san. Finally got to see you in live action today at the stadium. Congrats on your win against Hanshin! You made the day for me and my family.

It's Its sort of amazing to see how the Japanese culture has brought the best out of Trevor.

Trevor…. We played this back in late 80’s. With crushed soda cans and sticks from our barn. Really helped to focus on barrels and hitting the curve! Keep up the great videos love your work!!

Dude, cap baseball is incredible. I’m very impressed with the pitching. Love the vids Trevor. We need you on the Yankees! LOL Make up with Cole and come to NY. Hahaha. Much love my bro

Great game today against hanshin, having the pleasure to watch you in the states and then again in Japan was an amazing experience

Playing cap baseball while drinking cold beer sounds awesome.

I grew up in Japan and played a similar type of baseball game in the park with the neighborhood kids. We used a plastic bat and a soft plastic / rubber ball that could create incredible movement and made rules where you couldn't hit to right field due to each team only having 2-3 players. It was a blast.

I played in the 90s, and played with Japanese players, mizuno used to be the only company with a 9 spike baseball cleat, which Nike copied. there is a difference between American mizuno and Japanese mizuno, they hand made the cleats with things like kangaroo leather, the leather bottom is supposed to mold to your foot. Cool to see this stuff again.

Thank you for your hard work today in the team's lackluster play. I will do my best to support you, so please continue to do your best for Yokohama. I wish the team all the best.

Thanks a lot for your great videos. Grettings from 🇲🇽

Going to Japan seems to be a great choice for Bauer in many ways…

Wow I made the video (that was me in the Giants jersey) lmao sorry for fangirling so hard, thank you for being so cool about me approaching you like that haha

I actually like your reviews more than I would have thought if you said you were going to start reviewing stuff. I think you do a great job explaining the pros and cons of everything and you answer questions we want to know. Also as a pro you get access to try brands normal people wouldn’t get the chance to try so I appreciate you giving your opinion about all these products..

Trev, you are putting out some of the best content on RU-vid!! What you are doing is nothing short of incredible. It's so cool to watch you embrace a completely different culture and actually try to learn the language. You seem to be having a really fun time with your teammates and have so much respect for the fans out there!! It's such a joy to watch, bro!! Keep working hard. God bless you.

5勝目おめでとうバウアー❤

It's dope you're doing colabs and showing us about cap baseball

So fun watching Trevor geek out on throwing a bottle cap

This kind of content is unlike anything else on youtube. Never stop making these 🙏

I’m definitely happy for you Trevor. It seems like you’re loving the experience and creating a whole new fan base. Keep doing you🤙

i would LOVE to see the cap baseball guys in the warehouse. i used to throw caps with my friends in HS (in LA) but never thought to play baseball with it!

Nice win today, Trevor.

Trevor, when you get back stateside you should play a game of capball with the Momentum boys at the CTTP facility. I think watching Sim try to hit a cap would be hilarious. 😂

Would love to see a bottle cap baseball collab with the Japan crew and The Warehouse Games from Jomboy Media!

I'm from Las Vegas and we played this as kids here. Basically anything we could use for baseball worked really. Same went for street hockey.

I know this is a Japanese thing, but I just wanted to share that me and all my friends played cap baseball in high school because our teacher knew about it. I live in the middle of nowhere in North Dakota, USA and we shared your sport.

Japan seems like a very friendly area. One of my teachers went to Japan because she has family there and she told me that Japan is a very beautiful place also. And the language there seems very logical.

I'm 47 and still play stick ball with friends about once a month or so. It's always a blast.

Trevor is the GOAT

Me and the boys have been loving your content my guy! So authentic and original it’s amazing!!!! I love watching behind the scenes really shows how great everyone is

The outing against Hanshin this afternoon was kinda rocky but the bullpen did great to shut down the offense (they better had to after getting basically two days off). Congrats on the win. Shame he couldn't go back-to-back-to-back for the team in tossing complete games after Imanaga and Azuma went the distance.

I’ve been following you for awhile now and just wanted to say keep doing your thing. Watching your story has been a pleasure 🤙

I really like you & this channel!!

Watching Trevor’s videos always make my day and expands my love for the game as well

used to play capball in the backyard with my brothers and cousin... so damn fun.

Super glad you did the cap baseball...that was super fun to watch and I had no idea about it.

"Cap baseball" used to be super popular in my country (Venezuela) when I was a kid. Latin American kids who love baseball used toplay it really often before TikTok destroyed the generation.

Trevor thanks for your uploads man, you're the reason I got back into baseball cause you make it fun with personality. Hope you enjoy Japan and can't wait for you to pitch in the majors again so we can see you dominate those jabronis

News in Japan: Trevor Bauer so cool! Go baseball! News in America: Literal baby eater Trevor "the devil" Bower once again adopts a kitten just to toss it off a bridge.

Good game Trevor last night. I know probably wasn’t what your looking for but got the dub and every day you are getting better. Go get ‘em Trev

I live right by Tokyo Station. Hope to run into Trev sometime. Clean. Nice people. Great food. NPB and high school baseball are badass.

Bro bottle cap team Japan goes crazy we need to see you and Eric vs Team Japan please!!!

I love whenever he post a new video

How many stuffed DB.Starmans in the collection now? 😎

Dude sends it into the next county…..”typical me” 😂😂😂

Trevor Bauer is a visionary who skips Japan's amateur baseball, independent baseball leagues, women's baseball teams, and kick baseball to PET bottle cap baseball.

Played cap ball in high school! After practice waiting for our ride...good times

このvlogは私を野球ファンダムに戻しました。 バウアーさん、ありがとうございました!

Cap baseball has been a thing for a long time. My cousin and I used it to help pickup movement when we were younger. I’m happy it gets a spotlight here.

I would like the Yokohama members to participate and film the bottle cap baseball play!

自動音声も嫌いじゃないけど、しっかりバウアーの声が聞ける英語版は一番楽しみにしてる

I swear watching you opening gifts is like watching my brother 🤣 y’all are so polite!!

I’ve been playing this with my buddies forever! I had no idea it was a real thing in Japan

Seriously, this just looks like fun

Bro I would totally watch @jomboy vs Japan cap baseball

he seems so much happier in japan

Now we need Eric and the boys play this 😂

4 wins this month. Might have a chance for MVP of the month.

My family is from the Dominican Republic I would spend my summers there growing up and we would play a game where you use the top of a sparklets bottle 5gal lid and a cutoff broom handle to hit. Pretty simple if you hit the lid and somebody catches it before it stops moving its an out if not it's a hit you played 1 on 1 and that was 40 years ago real good for hand-eye coordination.

“I’m more of like a clown 😂

Maybe Yabai is close in meaning to the F-word in English. It is also close to the "Sugoi" in Japanese. Roki Sasaki's 4-seam is "Yabai" or "Sugoi" or crazy or amazing.

Just the best videos. Thank you

Go get them Trevor. You've got this my man. You appear to be more comfortable in Japan although I wish you were still in the states. You got a raw deal in the states and I don't blame you for going overseas.

This game looks surprisingly fun. Japanese people are cool.

I love this guy I hope I get to see him pitch one day

Cap baseball looks harder then actual baseball smh lol

This game looks fun as hell bro.. it's weird and how can you not wanna play it all day.. Trevor hitting the 2run Nuje to center made this CONTENT ALL DAY

Awesome to watch you on your travels around Japan , if you could get Eric to join you it would be awesome and he could confuse everyone.

Best videos on youtube.

Look forward to these vlogs!

As of Today, they swept Hanshin in that series. Trevor did decent against them too

Trevor out here doing side quests 😂 need a new MLB The Show game mode based on life like this

NPB having pro team play part of games in rural communities is such a beautiful thing. MLB should do such games.

Fun video, Trevor. I appreciate it

I loved that bottle cap baseball , I would fly up from Taiwan to help you take those ringers on!

トレバーの英語は比較的聴きやすい方だからリスニングの勉強としてこっちの動画も見るようにしてる。

バントうまくなってたｗ

Another awesome vlog GOAT of baseball! That bottle cap game is unique and different but the kids supporting the game! Free Trevor Bauer now!

7/1の試合良かったよ。 貴方のファンになりました。 貴方の闘志があれば優勝間違いなしだ！

Cap baseball looks like fun, like the finesse that's needed to flick pitch.

This is awesome!

Trevor, thank you for this peek behind the curtain. I think more Americans need to know about NPB and baseball's cultural weight in Japan. Question: I'm an analyst by nature, so your training insights fascinate me, especially with the monitoring apps you've shown off in the course of your channel content. Do you limit how far back you compare your most recent performance to or is there value looking at May's Splitter delivery after a September start I'd love to see you in a Rockies uniform in the near future but, as a fan since 1993, I know ownership won't want to pay for the privilege.

Mr Trevor Bauer. It is natural for you to get angry.The Yokohama BayStars are as good a defense as elementary school students.But don't abandon them.

can't wait bauer vs japanese highschool baseball team ....

Congrats Trev on your first home run in japan, and you hit a mickey mouse homerun

Should've started with a Gatorade cap, easier to see and hit for a beginner

OMG I'd love to see them boys, TB, and Jomboy Good stuff, as always TB

I really enjoy your channel dude

Pls do more cap baseball!

Keep up the good work man, we still love ya in the states. Would love some change up talk. Stay cool

OK. So I'm pretty sure that my RU-vid feed spat out the livestream of this game in Japanese. I couldn't understand any of the play-by-play so I just watched Trevor pitch. My impression was that he was struggling with his command; now I know why. Despite his struggles he was pretty effective so I was really puzzled as to why Trevor was removed relatively early; I think with the score tied. Again, now it makes sense. Fingers crossed that the next game he pitches shows up as a livestream. I'm used to watching games with the sound off because I can't stand the announcers, so it's fun just to concentrate on the game itself. Love the nerdy content.
