Cool video. I, too, have wondered about the limit, so it's nice to know that there isn't one . . . but that makes me wonder why some guys NEVER throw balls to fans. I guess they're just kinda mean/rude.

There should be a limit on how many balls you get.

@tommack352 6 лет назад

I once saw Starling Marte, after he had caught a fly ball, go over to the stands, call for a very young child to come over to him. He gave the child a ball and then stood with him so his parents could get a picture of them together. He didn't have to do that and he held up the game to do it, but I think it helps MLB when players do things like this.

Have you ever tossed a ball to a fan when there is one out left with bases loaded 🤔

@cuzzindave 5 лет назад

In the early 80's the Mets were owned by a family that didn't really have the operating capitol needed to run a major league team. The players got in trouble for throwing balls into the stands and the owner lady kept asking why the balls thrown out of play for hitting the dirt couldn't be washed and reused.

@nycsongman9758 3 года назад

Was that still the Joan Payson era, or Donald Grant ?

@michaelj5463 6 лет назад

Matt, great advice. I get to several Marlins games every year with a pal, and we do surprisingly well, probably 70% success rate. Being old guys, we avoid sitting near kids, and also pretty girls, to increase our chances, a great sacrifice. Always fun to get that souvenir ball!

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Wow that’s crazy!

@grxengine 5 лет назад

Pitcher Jose Lima R.I.P used to get a paper bag full of ball and walk around the warning track of the entire field tossing balls to fans before every game in Houston when he was an Astro. A real fan favorite. I don't know if he continued that later as a Dodger.

@MWB18 6 лет назад

I got a ball from David Ortiz by asking him in Spanish.

@04LightningFan 6 лет назад

That is a good tip. You'll get good results by speaking Spanish to Latin ball players. If you know Japanese or Korean that would probably work well for players from Japan and Korea as well.

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

@timdixon32 6 лет назад

My half of my family is korea and from Brasil on the other side so I can ask in Korean and Portuguese. Also Spanish since tons of Latin American players. Very good tip to ask them by name and in native language.

@chrisrozens1125 6 лет назад

I went to an Atlanta Braves (my team) and the reds in cincy. I was the only Braves fan in my area during BP and a ball went to Eddie Perez while he was a coach. Every fan around me was yelling Perez, since that’s all they knew because the jersey. I yelled “Eddie” and he turned and directly threw it to me. I took it as he realized I was the only guy that legitimately knew who he was. My advice treat them like a person not a vending machine.

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing!!!

@Algorerhythm 6 лет назад

In the past you could sit behind the dugout and sometimes the player who made the 3rd out would toss the ball over the top of the dugout when the team came off the field. But nowadays all the dugouts have the netting extended over the whole length because of everyone on their phones during the game. :( I actually once saw a player try to flip a ball over the front of the dugout to the fans but he forgot the netting had been recently extended across the dugout and it hit the netting and fell back into the dugout.

@philiplavery03 5 лет назад

My Little Brother got a bat from tony gwynn jr at spring training one year. Players are really cool at spring training. I got a lot of baseballs and autographs from players at spring training.

@AntonelliBaseball 5 лет назад

@Algorerhythm 6 лет назад

A couple years ago at one low-A ball game I was sitting behind the tarp down the 3rd base line when the player warming up the left fielder missed a ball during in-between inning warm up tosses. The ball bounced off the warning track and right up on top of the tarp where i picked it up and gave it my kid. The player looked at me like "bruh, really?" and then he had to ask the dugout for another baseball when I didn't throw it back. Was a little bit of a funny episode.

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Haha thanks for sharing!

My son still gets three balls every game at a single A team. Know first baseman's first name, sit near where he enters the dugout. Also dress in team shirt, caps, large finger, etc.

@unspherdcomb6 6 лет назад

The first time I ever got a ball thrown to me was when the Angels were warming up before the game agianst my home team mariners I don't remember the guys name but he was a tall black guy with dreads back in like 2009 he played right field around that time and I caught it after that I only ever played outfield 💪 sadly I don't play baseball anymore but im getting back into it soon

@Ean9881 5 лет назад

It’s crazy how far baseball has come with the limits on balls. That’s the entire reason behind the George Brett pine tar incident... tar high up on the bat stained the ball and made them unusable so they made the rule to preserve balls. Obviously outdated by the time Brett hit the homer but an obscure rule that Billy Martin kept in his pocket til the most opportune time lol

@blindovermatter3054 2 года назад

All right, weird spin on this question, as a blind guy even if I call for a ball what’s the best way for me to get my hands on the thing? Catching has never been my strong suit :-)

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

@DavidInSomnia 6 лет назад

If you buy an MLB ball it's like $25-$30. I've only caught 2 foul balls in minor league games. One rolled down to my seat at a San Antonio Missions game and the other i chased it at a Corpus Christi Aviators game. Never got tossed one but I hope my son can get one this summer.

@pghkid9163 6 лет назад

Yeah it depends on the player. Jordan Comadena(‘pen catcher for the pirates) won’t throw any up because of ballhawks like me at PNC Park. He also tells other players not to throw up balls to certain people or not at all

@fairoaksguy7040 6 лет назад

When the Giants played at candlestick and as the players were heading back to the dugout I was standing by the right field foul pole and asked Will Clark for the ball he responded "do you have $20.00 and ran back to the dugout with the ball maybe back in the day they were expensive.

@jimpimmers5387 5 лет назад

Could you talk about how many player options one gets as a minor leaguer. Can a player be brought up and sent down without losing an option? Also when a minor leaguer has the big club purchase a contract of a player is that because that player is not on the 40 man roster?

How many balls do teams use during batting practice

@AntonelliBaseball 5 лет назад

Not sure exactly, but it is a lot!!! Thank you for watching!!

@Basetornado 5 лет назад

MLB teams go through 35,000 a year. 240 for each team in pre game batting practise. The home team will supply BP balls for the away team. Overall they spend around $350,000 a year on balls.

@jlawrence0181 6 лет назад

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

@barrettus 6 лет назад

Scuffed balls get better movement and that's why some guys cheat with an emery board. Knowing that I would have thought pro pitchers would always want the ball thrown back in during an inning until the ump kills the ball. Have you had any of your pitchers mention not tossing balls during the game?

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Yes I have had a few guys that would ask the catcher to try and scuff the ball before throwing it back lol

@barrettus 6 лет назад

Cool, thanks.

@DaveedNation 6 лет назад

I went to an Indians game and yonder Alonso didn’t even look into the stands he always threw it to Lindor and he would roll it in the dugout smh😤 then of course the mariners 1st basemen threw one infield warm up ball so I guess in the game players just focus and I don’t blame them

@matthewfriske438 6 лет назад

aKidw BigDreaMs I’ve heard some teams have a designated guy they throw the ball to st the end of the inning like I know most of the time Robinson cano ends up with the ball with the mariners and he always flips it, maybe lindor does that at the Indians?

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

@michaelr.4878 5 лет назад

There is one fool proof way that will drastically increase your odds of getting a ball tossed to you. It requires two things. Number one... get seats as close to field level as your can. Number 2 - Find a mentally handicapped person (adult or child) to take to the game with you. The more 'challenged' they physically appear, the higher your chances are of getting a ball. I am not saying this to be funny. This is a real tactic. People do this all the time to get closer to professional wrestlers. They will 'borrow' a friend or family members' mentally handicapped associate for an evening to get a ball or handshake from a wrestlers. Sad.

@jono601 5 лет назад

You can try the same by being a ball boy.

@ChuckKeough 6 лет назад

When I was a kid I got to go to every single Royals home game. (87-90) My best friends mom worked for the orginazation. We showed up for batting practice and were some of the very last to leave... we never bothered asking players for balls but I worshiped Bo Jackson... he gave me four bats over the years, two of them broken. Over the years I collected lots of cool items but gave it all away except the bats... oh, and I got a 1989 All Star game signed ball with Bo on the sweet spot... and it has a nice signature of Ronald Reagan on there as well... ill never part with that.

@cougarhunter33 6 лет назад

Hell of an opportunity there, friend. Those were my prime Royals years as well. Everyone I met was pretty cool except #5. But if the state of my asshole was a topic on the local news, I'd be a bit short as well.

@ChuckKeough 6 лет назад

George Brett was a dick... later on after he retired I caddied 18 holes for him at Loch Lloyd golf course... he played a good game but never directly spoke to me and tipped me FIVE dollars. His partner noticed and bought me a steak dinner and gave me a $100 Bill.

@cougarhunter33 6 лет назад

Wow. Can't argue his contributions to the team for the last 40+ years were numerous, but he was the star of the show and made sure everyone knew it. Enough that even a kid like me could see it. Some of the best dudes ever were Quisenberry, Seitzer, and Frank White.

@weathp 6 лет назад

That’s awesome man. In my opinion, Bo Jackson is the best athlete to ever live.

@ChuckKeough 6 лет назад

After Bo all my previous favorite players became mere mortals. In 1987 (I was 12) I was trying to get his autograph after the game... I was a tiny little guy (I was 5'0 101lbs when I graduated HS) and was getting trampled by the other people crowding Bo... he picked me up and put me on his shoulders, piggy back like... I stayed on his shoulders for what seemed like an eternity, I felt like I could touch the heavens.. king of the world.

@rainsadventures8367 6 лет назад

My brother and I used to go the Visalia Oaks (now Rawhide) batting practice and collect all the home run balls. My dad would use the balls for little league baseball practice. We collected so many baseballs that the GM for the team asked my dad if we could sell him some of the balls back to them for $.50 cents apiece. My brother and I made a few bucks doing it but spent it all back at the baseball games. My brother ended up becoming a bat boy for the team and I worked there for 3-4 years in the concessions stands. Great childhood memories.

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

@04LightningFan 6 лет назад

This really changed after the 94/95 player strike/owner lock out (whatever you want to call it) When the players came back in 1995, the league encouraged players to throw out balls to gain good will with the fans, even the ball boys and girls will give out balls to the fans. That policy hasn't really changed since then. My advice, know the player's name or nickname, what a fan would refer to them as, especially the visiting team, speak their native language if you know it, and get there early. Most important, be polite and ask nicely. No player is going to throw you a ball if you're being an irritant to them.

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Thanks!!!

@cash7669 6 лет назад

A little late but I (a lifelong Royals fan) went to the Royals/Twins game for my birthday a few weeks ago at Target field, an 8 hr drive from kc. Anyways, there wasn't hardly any Royals fans in the outfield, so all I yelled was "Hey Alex!" To Alex Gordon and he tossed me a ball.

@clayharper1698 6 лет назад

Hey Matt i was wondering how a coach would go about benching a player? Cody Bellinger was benched just the other day for not hustling and I wondered if with a star player like he is if there would be an argument or if the player might just say Okay? How would that go? Thanks!

@matthewfriske438 6 лет назад

Clay Harper I’m not 100% with Bellinger I’m an east coast guy but he’s still young from what I know, if it were say David Ortiz no ones going to give him shit for not hustling and a easy ground ball but for a young athletic kid in his 2nd or 3rd season if he’s not busting his ass on a regular basis I’d say it’s time for a wake up call. In my experience (only played into college didn’t go pro and wasn’t good enough) they don’t tell you your getting benched most of the time they just don’t put you in the lineup and you have to earn your way back in but I only played for 4 different coaches on a competitive level so I’m nkt as well versed especially not at the pro levels

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Depends on the player and coach. Usually call him into office and explain what you’re doing and why. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@ScottHirons 6 лет назад

Thanks for answering this. It's such funny timing. Having come across your channel and watching obsessively now I was going to post a question about this exact topic. I was at the Nationals-Diamondback game this weekend and was wondering if players had any limits on throwing balls into the stands. I didn't assume they were charged for any that they did, but did wonder. At Nationals Park, my son likes to stand above the bull pen and when pitchers finish up pre-game warm-ups (or even relievers if they are being called in right away - or the guy on the mound made it through the half-inning without having to have the guy warming up to go in - they will often toss a ball up to fans.

Hey Matt! I was wondering what ages you progressed the most. I went from 73 to 84 mph last year from 14-15 what about you?

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Hmm probably sophomore to junior year or high school.

How do you get a broken bat?

@AntonelliBaseball 5 лет назад

Tough to get, but if you ask you can sometimes get one. Usually once the game ends. Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!

I’ve gotten 20 balls from minor league games and it’s the coolest thing ever

@JRounder87 6 лет назад

Matt, do players get paid while on DL?

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Yes they do

I’m 50 and never got a ball at any level games. Joaquín Andújar flip me a ball 3 times, and I dropped all 3 attempts. He gave up, I guess I was too excited to have one in my hands. I still got time, maybe someday. Thanks for the videos Antonelli.

When I was a kid my friends and I would hang outside c.s.u.l.b. practice. Collect half a dozen or so before going home. After every ball comes over we dash to pick it up and nonchalantly stroll away. Eventually a guy comes running out and give us the evil eye. I don't know if homie was getting them for himself or what. Because us kids were not giving up our ball hustle. It didn't help he was overweight and to get outside Blair field is quite a jog if you're not fit. Those things are expensive to a 12 yr. old kid. We were pretty cool though showing up to play pick up ball with a dozen brand new balls.

My brother ran the scoreboard at Lecom Park in Bradenton, Fl., and he used to walk the park, 3 laps, and pick up all the balls from early batting practice and hand those out to kids coming in for the games. He was a pitcher in the 60’s, but never made the majors.

I researched and found that in MLB they use up to $500 worth of baseballs/game. Baseballs that don't get into the hands of the fans are generally saved and used for batting practice.

I’m a bat boy for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (Dodgers Advanced A) and the players don’t have a limit but our clubbie tells us to not to get generous with the scuff balls because we need to re use them for BP. Every game I discreetly give away probably three or four a game

A couple weeks ago Astros vs Indians in Cleveland Yule Gurriel tried to throw me I would say from the 5th inning all the way to the 14th. This guy stole all of them for me and in the 12th this guy literally pushes me onto the field and I still caught it! Security comes over and I tell him this guy pushed me and he got ejected. I was laughing my face off and security told him he shouldn’t be pushing little kids onto the field. It was amazing

I love it when kids get a ball. The look on their faces is just pure joy.

@AntonelliBaseball 6 лет назад

Without a doubt!!!

I was just sitting at the game waiting for it to start and somebody came out and threw a ball to me. I have it sitting on a desk in my room; its only purpose is going to be for pitching. ;) The game i went to was awesome!! Mostly because i recorded a pitcher close up in different angles in slow-motion.
