Ariel Antigua on Jimmy Kimmel Live

[undescoldmind]

get back to me when he reaches puberty.

[hnchmen34]

What a waste of time...

[p00rbl33dr]

What an ass hole. enough said

[Samax13]

wow fuck jimmy kemmel he should have seen that if the kid hadnt talked for more than two min then maybe he should have said "ok this kid wants to hit lets do it!" fucking idiot

[basepadz]

ariel should have hit him in the balls with the bat... "stop making fun of me jimmy faggot!"

[respectthepuff]

at 2:30 he looked like he was about to cry

[JOELALFONSOL]

very impressive ! , but Jimmy did put a lot of pressure on the kid , I know he just wanted to be funny , but should've thought of the kid....

[LiKeThIsSoN]

Check out Sports Ill. article on this kid. And look at the pics of this kid and family. Tell me he is not the favorite? Another young family 4 kids going on five and probaly living off the state!!! U.S.A. rocks...

[Xx1nTeRvEnTiOnxX]

Everyone here should get a copy of sports illustrated with the story about this kid. His story and road to fame is inspirational and powerful beyond belief, especially with all the haters on the internet.

[sulja32]

Its not the fact that this kid cant hit the ball solidly or somthing like a pop fly its the fact that this kid can barely understand what jimmys saying and can still make contact. thats pretty amazing know ones saying he can hit a home run but pretty soon all u haters out there will see that with some age and maturity this kid will be making solid contact and hitting in the big leagues.. plus the kid was nervous as u can clearly see.

[mrjack23kuzoian]

lol actually in SI they said he didn't play little league because he was too good.

[moknows44]

You can tell Ariel is like "Shut the fuck up you old hag".

[SupaBaller]

I can't believe that people are rushing to defend this kid and put down Jimmy Kimmel. The kid hit a couple of pop ups and ground outs, but whiffed on a couple too. Talk about this kid being over hyped. I read the SI article expecting to be impressed with him... Yawn.

If I were Jimmy, I would have asked the same questions. Where is this kids dad, and why didn't he say a word? Talk about an embarassing segment for the producers who have a guest who can't produce a one word answer. Maybe Jimm

[chisoxrk]

@SupaBaller i bet when you were 5 you didnt even know what a baseball was let alone how to hit one. your just retarded.

[SupaBaller]

@chisoxrk Wow - you can't even spell 'You're'.... get back to grade school.

[Khol1321]

@SupaBaller he's right you know i wanna see you hit a 85 mph fastball now let alone when you were 5

[Michael2k5]

@SupaBaller He was nervous as hell... HOW in heavens name can you expect a 5 year old kid to perform infront of a crowd? I've seen other videos of him and he can hit the ball pretty good. We are talking about 85mph here... HE IS 5 YEARS OLD. The fact that he can make contact is simply amazing. I've played baseball all my life and i started seeing 85mph pitches when i was 14

[DavezMentalTees]

The kid did great under pressure!

[drekevans]

just thank bout it this lil kid is alreading hittin 85 mph fastballs just thank about wen he gets 13 he gone be shattering balls

[mets4ever41]

mets outta sign him!

[MrsScottBaker]

@mets4ever41 screw the mets...he should play for the twins!!!

[Adrainpujols]

Jimmy Kimmel is a dick.. He's five and a half and on live tv! But this kid is sick

[modrake111]

Wow, this video would be cool if it wasn't for Jimmy Kimmel and that loser in the gray slacks. The audience humored Jimmy; they couldn't think any of that was funny.

The kid rocks! He let his bat do the talking and let Kimmel's empty comments disintegrate into thin air.

If only more people would realize the irrelevant garbage that comes out of the mouths of these media types and just repond with stares that say, "are you done hearing yourself talk yet?" Pathetic, Jimmy.

[sloth5652]

BEAST!

[FFMcFuch]

Oh Jimmy you are ssssooooo fucking funny...phsyc...you're a douche bag and so is your mumbling douch bag sidekick...he's a pussy faced suck up who probably sucked your dick to get a litlle air time

[Derekmr321]

@FFMcFuch jeez settle down

[Bangkok1994]

Kimmel can be a bitch or just making the kid very uncomtarable.

[DoNotBeThatKid18]

I'm 5' 11"and I use a 32" bat........

[yankees7411]

He's the Yankees youngest prospect

[17avas17]

he's soooo cute!!!!!

[96rorrim]

Never watch Kimmel cuz I always thought he was stupid. This vid verifies my evaluation. I kept wondering when he was finally going to shut his retarded mouth. That other guy, whose name is apparently Adam Carolla (clearly, I have no idea who the fuck he is) kept trying to get him to shut up "Normally I'm jealous that you have a late night show, but not now." And then kimmel responds "well let's do some batting." but the dumb bitch starts shooting his stupid mouth again. thinking

[kly5]

I'm so glad that they we're making all of those jokes about the poor little kid. He's 5 years old!! And they didn't say one thing that was nice to him or something he would understand. "Do you speak english?" Wow, kimmel you're a BITCH

[Edikson419]

This is my little cosin, hes amazing. this is the second youngest of my cosin luis' kids. They are all unbalevably good. They show great passion and love for the game

[STUD2388]

Well it's good a kid is this talented at a young age...although my brother was just as talented, we don't live in the projects so i guess he didn't get noticed. lol hope the best for Ariel's future!

[lockness48]

poor kid, no childhood and being so scared and nervous, cant imagine what he was thinking.

[rscholl24]

@lockness48 he loves playing baseball, who didnt when they were 5, be real

[lockness48]

@rscholl24 ok this is true. but i was thinking more along the lines of him being nervous and scared and the hosts were making it better on him

[retsej515]

Someone's living vicariously through their child I assume....

[escobarstatus]

@retsej515 Yea because its impossible this kids actually likes playing baseball like most young boys right??? get the fuck outa here!

[retsej515]

@escobarstatus Not the baseball part you FAGTARD!!! The part where the 5 year old boy is on a late night talk show geared towards adults! The kid has skills, but so did Michael Jackson, doing gigs at strip clubs when he was 6! That damn Joe Jackson! Anyway, little Ariel will have bitter feelings toward his father if he keeps pushing him to do late night shows and hitting balls in the cage at the local strip joint! Oops sorry, got him mixed up with Jack-O. Ariel-O IS SCREWED! Thanks Joe A.

[escobarstatus]

@retsej515 Ok so it was the dad's dream to be on late night talk shows? STFU...

When your 5 & you can play baseball like him your bound to get some attention...I highly doubt his dads pushing him onto tv you fucking cocksucker....kill urself!

[GasHouseGangScout]

The hosts are trying to be funny, but they're really tactless in how they talk to this poor little kid. It was especially offensive when they asked him if he spoke English, I can't imagine any 5 year-old being comfortable in that situation. Despite the poor adult behavior, the child showed the better character and stole the show with his bat!

[LtakeOanotherVlookE]

damn, its harder to hit the ball out of a machine cause it's harder t tell when it's cming

[zekerocks26]

adam carolla should crawl in a hole.

[rowdawg11]

ok i get that the kids pretty legit but the dad is too hard on him. let the kid have a childhood man and have fun

[basesoccer612]

read the SI article this kid is legit. Stop hating

[munkeygator13]

@basesoccer612 me too btw he doesnt hit a 85 mph he hits a 119 mph fastball

[basesoccer612]

@munkeygator13 with a big barrel, and hes 5

[ginger2022]

@basesoccer612 Yup. That's what brought me here. haha.

[PIT22NYM7MIA23]

pierfyc - if the 13 year old plays baseball then it really isnt hard to swing a bat like that.

now to comment on the video, Ariel is pretty darn good I wish him the best of luck in the future and nice work catching kimmel.

[joecoolmccall]

It's just as amazing that Jimmy Kimmel caught the fast balls...catching isn't the easiest thing....(I suck at it lol)

[Hank1974]

Wow, great to see this kids parents have his best interest in mind. He's all over youtube, late night shows and SI. No fear in over-exposing or putting too much pressure on this 5-year old. Great job.

I hope for the kids sake he can still turn out to be a regular person if he doesn't hit 1000 HR's in the majors.

[brooks5510]

sooo this kid is on tv shows and also has a feature article in sports illustrated this week....and im def not hating on the young man at all but i fail to see why this is so impressive....i get it that he uses a big bat and can foul off fastballs but again whats the big deal? or are there other vids i should be seeing?? again im not hating on this youngster at all hes just playing and having fun

[yesiwonthegame]

he's good but definitely not worthy of the pub hes getting. My bro is 6 and he's got a little more power behind him. He's just got a dad who pushes him.

[brooks5510]

@yesiwonthegame i have to agree man ive know plenty of kids at this age who could do this and more

[MrYankees127]

Si article is good too

[MrYankees127]

Just reading si magazine article. Pretty chill

[dpotvin92]

the article in new sports illustrated complete refutes this childs shyness. its also a pretty good read.

[thecuseorange15]

i really dont see the point of having this kid on...yeah he's 5 and can hit fastballs, but i was expecting him to hit homeruns, every pitch he hit was a foul ball

[pierfyc]

@thecuseorange15 Most 13 year olds cant swing the bat he's using.

[mothahen123]

@thecuseorange15 and also imagine how nervous this kid is. he's 5 years old swinging a bat on nationally broadcasted tv

[jadasic]

@thecuseorange15 hater

[ervywere1go]

...dude if the kid's gna make it big..u gotta start him real young..wuts wrong with that??...jus chillax

\/ \/

[LU29UN99]

shame on his parents for forcing him to practice at young age at high speed fastballs.He could have fractured his wrist just hitting fastballs. he got 5 minute of nervousness. his parents must be desperate to cash in.

[lars121314]

@LU29UN99 you are such a loser

[jadasic]

@LU29UN99 horrible comment

[rayray66]

i hate kids

[TheYaosuke]

@rayray66 i hate you

[MetropolisNS]

[avitaliness]

[darealdjnutz]

"That kids all talk." You have to love Adam.

[arieliz28]

my baby is adorable he is shy lol but i love him like that!!!

[OreoCookieOreo]

@arieliz28 Who wouldn't be shy and nervous around that many people and camera crew. He did well. I don't think I'd be able to hit even one ball. He is going to MLB for sure. Lots of luck to you and the kid.

[arieliz28]

@OreoCookieOreo thank u!!

[manuel1732]

You need to spend at least a week with this kid in order to make him talk

[rageta333]

"Lets hit some balls" If I had a Nickle every time I heard that...

[caradetoto21]

Amazing he could hit even under so much pressure. Ariel is a wonderful young five year old. 

[googledoogle]

Lol he didn't do rehearsals

[P3RSIANpinoy]

hahah, kiddo was all shy

[jennifermgilbert1995]
