If Max makes the big leagues, that reaction is going to be an all time gif
Valid reaction.
imagine they had someone else that was capable of that I think pual skenes is the name is a name I’d expect for that player
I made that same face every single time I stepped into the batters box in high school
That’s how I react seeing 80 mph. Can’t imagine 102.4.
Me too Max, me too.
he looks like he went from angry, to confused, to amazed in the span of the 5 second after that
I feel like I’d say that if I saw any big league pitching irl let alone 102 mph
Is it just me or does he have the same exaggerated arm wave at the end of his delivery as Skenes?
Too funny. We were all laughing on the broadcast crew.
I can’t decide on this Max guy, can you be endearing and douchey at the same time? He is pulling it off
From now on: Max “wtf” Clark
now – in the strike zone
“What the fun!”
Crazy to think he was pitching in high school a year ago.
I can read lips, they’re right he said “wow”
me too kid, me too
damn what a beast
Do players really notice a difference between like 98 and 102? It’s only 4 percent faster.
It’s already been made into a GIF on the Tigers subreddit
That fast ball almost reached the second floor.
I honestly thought they were letting a little leaguer hit
Honestly that’s how I react when I get a 18 mph heater in my Thursday slow pitch softball league
Pls sir can I have one link of your chain so I can pay for food and gas pls sir
Now I’m no Jomboy but I think he said “wow, that’s fun”
I’ll bet the whistle of the ball and the snap into the glove was tangible.
This kid was just pitching in the CIF playoffs less than a year ago. WTF is right. Imagine being a regular teenager failing an algebra class in the morning, getting dumped by your girlfriend at lunch, then having to see this kid throwing cheddar at 3:15 in the afternoon.
Southern California HS baseball is basically pro baseball at this point
Lmaoooo that face at the end
To be fair, I’d probably react the same way. I know that’s surprising to a lot of people, but that’s fast.

The Pirates are just a demon factory now
If it is not a strike, there is no point.
