  • Ok people, I'm not one of these youtubers who goes round claiming everything is fake, but i work in post production television in the UK and therefore understand what can and can't be done with special effect. I can 100% guarantee you this isn't a genuine video. You can clearly see the ball speed up and change direction just before he catches it!! Its a pretty good effort though!!

  • @willthedrummer

    sooooo because the ball isnt hit square on .... therefore changing the speed to gyro effect and translation of the balls path your saying fake, ok now watch footballer curl or whip a football or soccer ball, each one of them are fake due to more violent spin drift effects on the balls mass .......

  • @arronfoster17 I'm not saying its fake because it curls. Just watch the ball very closely and just before it reaches his hand it changes direction and speed. The curl of a ball is constant and therefore wouldn't change unless another force was acting on it. Trust me dude, It isn't a genuine catch. Wish it was though!

  • @willthedrummer don't even answer to people who's trying to explain this video with physics or other scientific subjects,they feel clever,ignoring the fact they didn't get anything about how the life goes.

  • THIS LOOKS REAL TO MEEEE.....!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @unfadingcashew If it was real, the guy batting would have noticed his ball was about to kill his team mate or the reporter... both the batter and the pitcher would have turned their attention to them...

    logic... proof...

    fake.

  • Lol, why did you even do this vid? There is no proof in it -_-

  • just cause all you can do is pick your balls

    

  • @TranceAccademy yeah too bad i watched this as it happened live... others and i know it's real.

  • I guess anything with shitty music is fake.

  • @unfadingcashew The kids being stupid, but one of the reasons its probably fake is that the cameraman would have easily seen the ball coming and got the fuck out of the way, not just stood there

  • this isnt fake .. the ball you see before the hit is the ball coming towards the fucking bat at 80mph...... then it bounces off... fuckin retards

  • at 0:31 if you look closely at the ball, it goes straight, then quickly disappears and changes direction.

  • @DamianQo22 It curved...

  • @cursedswordsman he means that it dissapeared before it hit the batters bat and then came back when he supposedly hit it

  • @DamianQo22 It disappeared and changed direction when the batter hit it, derp

  • @DamianQo22 Balls can curve, in fact they do all the time.

  • @Jackuhtack423 You don't look closely enough, you can actually see the ball DISAPPEAR just after the swing, and then it appears back and goes into Evan's hand, I'm not saying its fake, but if you look closely you can actually see that.

  • Begin playing with pause between .06 and .07 sec and all will be revealed.

  • fake fake fake, i cant believe you guys fell for this

  • i love vaginas

  • i love vaginas

  • @unfadingcashew Actually, if you watch the batter, you can see the original ball leave the bat as it's hit, then disappear and be replaced by the ball coming towards evan and the reporter.

  • @unfadingcashew pwnd..

  • @GRIMIVIDS Wow, you're so original. No seriously, you're so cool now, every woman ever is going to jump all over you. You should get an award, really dude.

  • its fake, look at the batter after he hits the ball...no reaction? suspicious

  • its a commercial.. obviously its fake... smh..

  • He wouldnt have been able to catch tht ball. He would have broken his palm

  • It's not fake idiots. i mean yeah sure, it's not likely that were to happen but so isn't the change of someone surviving getting hit by a train. (note i know someone who did) and i can honestly say that the ball makes a sound when it flies to him, why you don't hear it? because the mic does not capture it!! Instinct, good hearing and a shit load of luck is what this catch was all about

  • @159tony Then why does the ball look like no other baseball in motion I have ever seen? Why do people want this to be real so badly? Its fake, but it is still really cool.

  • @SweetZombiJesus maybe because the hit went wrong and the ball was going really fucking fast when it was hit and when it was thrown..it's real.. plus the wind would explain why the ball was flying to them.. aaand the camera man totally pissed himself

  • @159tony I looked into it, and it is part of a viral campaign by Gillette. It is fake.

  • @SweetZombiJesus well you did research..good thing you did..well it's cool no matter what.. it fooled me good.

  • @159tony To be honest, I was hoping for it to be real myself. Oh well.

  • it's fake, look at the ball :D

  • Evan is hot! O.O so, cannot be fake! ;D

  • I want to thumb this video down...

  • AIMBOT

  • @GRIMIVIDS internets<3

  • @GRIMIVIDS How original -__-

  • "Watch carefully the ball and you will clearly see the fake song name:" DUDE OK

  • at 0:30 you can see the actual ball flying forward to the right... and soon later you can see it again as it comes visible behind the fake catchers shoulders. The other ball, CGI.

  • I saw like for... 48 hours straight, and unfortunately I have to say that it is fake... the trajectory of the ball changes 1 photogram before he catch it... I mean, it is going on a falling curve, and at the last second straightens the path...

  • @MrNotadeala the spin of the ball can change the direct, the wind can change the ball whilst it moves in the air thus changing the direction of the ball while it already has a set path. Big words doesn't a scientist, first you have to learn science.

  • 9gag didn't brought me here, but i just wanne say im a 9GAG soldier....

  • this was real, and he didnt throw it to the pitcher, he tossed it on the ground towards him, i was actually there, its real, i seen it. and seeing is believing. like Santa Clause never seen him he aint real.

  • @981butterfly just too stupid haha

  • What's the name of that song.

  • @xBL4CKx0PSx Killswitch Engage - This Is My Last Serenade

  • Well done, fake or not. I likes.

  • You can see when the batter hits the ball, the ball goes in a different direction if u see it in slow-mo

  • Why do trolls listen to the worst music?

  • It's done in front of a greenscreen. That's the easiest way to fake these things. Still, a cool video.

  • There is two balls :D

  • Practicing and interviewing at Night.

    No safety net around the dugout.

    Stadium is plastered with Gillette ads, and nothing else.

    Evan Longoria has signed up to be a celebrity spokesperson for Gillette.

    Fancy station graphics, but no recognisable station logo.

    Reporters Mic is unlabeled.

    And the catch... is impossible.

  • @Morrinn3 And let's not forget that the shadows on the ball when it is close look really fake. It's CGI ball.

  • at that speed there would be recoil on his hand.

  • 100% fake... Watch closely the transistion from 0:05 to 0:06 you can see the original ball go fould to the dugout and a new one replaces it

  • @coTECHppls i think it's fake as well but honestly you guys are retarded.... especially with the 0:05 shit..... you realize that's the pitch COMING IN from the pitcher right? not the hit... like really are you guys autistic or something? hell just watch it in slow mo at 0:30. idk how someone can make that mistake.

  • Fake, but not Gay! ;)

  • i feel bad for all the small pep out there that believe everything great is fake

  • He went to my High School! Bosco Braves!

  • let him do it again, then will see iff he really can catch it without looking or glove

  • Which song is this??..

    Random, but I really liked it!!

  • Fake, there is at least 2 balls involved, look close at the batting, at 00'06"

  • Can't we just ask the reporter whether it was fake or not to end up this discussion ?

  • wow, no fake, evan RULES!!

  • I think its fake because of the simple fact the batter didnt even flintch once he hit a ball and almost hit a reporter. He goes back to swinging like nothing ever happend!

  • @tranceacademy fuckin great song.. Killswitch!! A1 choice

  • Do your research its not faked the mic doesnt pick up the batter yelling watch out. besides this was actually aired on TV as the interview

  • that shitty american music in this video is wack as fuck...i dont know how american people can listen to this shit !

  • fake

  • 0:34 - 0:35 fake part of the video. :)

  • Name of the song in the beginning? =)

  • @KamangarTube My Last Serenade by Killswitch Engage

  • @xXLOGO5Xx I bet he has a pretty dang fast reaction time, he's a third baseman

  • Also if a baseball was coming straight towards them, and we can all see it, why did the cameraman not flinch, surely he'd want to protect the reporter and his camera. and if the response is 'he didn't see the ball' well thats bull because we all can. Fake. but pretty good.

  • no fake

  • it's not fake at 0:11 there's a pitcher he threw the ball, if you tink the ball magically appears declare the fact why there is a moving ball right to his shoulder moving to the left at high speed.

  • Comment removed

  • Just keep watching the batter... if you still think its real.. then.. yeah whatever

  • @981Butterfly I play baseball myself, have had balls against my hand. Trust me, if a ball get hit like that, and you even try to catch it with your bare hand? You end up with a crushed/broken hand. It's not just by waving a little with your hand that makes the pain go away, u need to go to the hospital for that kind of injury.

  • What's the song?

  • @happy5crazy Killswitch Engage - My Last Serenade

  • @SupraMc2 Thank you

  • You can clearly see the real ball being hit (press 6). And the fake ball appears just a fraction too late

  • Only a person with this terrible taste in music would take time to make a video like this

  • Step 1: pause the video

    Step 2: Go back to 0:01

    Step 3: Hold space bar

    Step 5: See the ball magically appear at 0:06

    Step 6: Realize that you didnt notice there was not a step 4

  • Comment removed

  • @Cappie2707 nice try buddy 

  • The batter doesn't even look at the hit. Pitcher is not looking. If you are a normal player you always look at where the ball goes to perfect hitting.

  • The thing that makes me suspect it's fake is the total lack of reaction from the pitcher and batter. They don't even look over.

  • @Ryners My thoughts exactly! The batter's waiting for the next pitch when he's just about taken a reporter's head off! And how about her reaction? Don't tell me any reporter, male or female, isn't gonna hit the deck with a ball zeroed in on their melon!

  • I wish I could believe this is real, but I have suspicions, if you look at the batter, he doesn't look the least bit worried he nearly hit a reporter, in fact, he's getting ready for the next pitch, and as he throws it back, the pitcher is preparing to pitch another ball.

  • @TheUltrafunnysquad exactly what i was thinking!

  • @TheUltrafunnysquad most of the batters when they see th ball going out they just let it go and focus on the putcher for the other one hey thats my opinion

  • I found ! Killswitch Engage - My Last Serenade

  • @7mauricio766 man thanks a lot!!!!!

  • whats name of first song? I love her

  • 8============D

  • Sorry you guys... but i don´t think the video is fake, and no, he hasn´t got any ball in his hand already but he catches it... and you can see it clearly, besides he hurts himself in his hand because of it, and his partnerts are shouting "Are you kidding me!?" 'Cause every body has seen what he has just done. Now, there is something call ENVY, because not every body can do such an amazing thing, but guys, just Get over it... ;P

  • @981Butterfly gay!!!!

  • @abusraj055 Well.... not exactly.. i´m a woman...

  • @981Butterfly Well..right now I feel really sorry to kill your dreams,but this video was made for an advert..sorry..may 'god?' forgive me for this

  • @TranceAccademy Yeah sure... and i have to believe that this is for an advert because "you" say it, right?! show us the advert then...´cause i´ve seen a Gillette advert with Evan and it has got nothing to do with this. I´m sorry i´m killing your ego.. i didn´t mean to.. why it´s so hard to simply admit he was great.. let´s be humble, the video is real..

  • @981Butterfly Because everyone who knows about this says it..Pathetic to the max lol,find the rest of the interview then..please..and I will admit this shit is real..I wonder how the heck can't you understand that this is fake..nvm..think what you want,I'm not going to change your mind.Anyway I want to clarify that I'm not of those ego guys accusing every video of fake just because they can't do it..I just call this fake cuz its OBVIOUS a fake lol,but anyway think what you want.Peace.

  • @TranceAccademy

    though i agree this video is probably fake, you come across as an unintelligent and sketchy dude.

    'because everyone says so' without quotes is not an argument. such a childish way to say you believe what you're told. claiming you're 'not of those ego guys' isn't helping anything either, because if someone doesn't believe you, saying you're telling the truth makes no difference.

    put up your sources, or shut up, since nothing but facts are important when you call something fake.

  • @981Butterfly ITS FAKE YOU IDIOT!!!!!!

  • @981Butterfly youre an idiot

  • @TranceAccademy which advert ?

  • @981Butterfly if he'd really caught this ball like this his hand won't be hurt it would be smashed :>

  • @981Butterfly the ball is smaller when he throws it back

  • @981Butterfly dont get your hopes up its a gillete advertisement 

  • @981Butterfly not sure if trolling or stupid

  • @981Butterfly 0:32 two balls, so it's fake :D

    

  • @981Butterfly average human reaction speed is .190 secs. at 0:34 he sees and catches the ball in that same second. he does not see the ball untill 80% of that second is passed. which leaves us with .200 sec...... even if he has .150 reaction speed which is the highest reaction speed a human can have, (which i doubt he has but lets just suppose he does) it takes more than .050 second to move your arm which makes this video FAKE!! have a nice day and think logically :)

  • @981Butterfly

    Its fake you can tell by the lack of reaction from the hitter he just keeps going like nothing happened...

  • @981Butterfly FFS. just watch as he hits the ball.. it clearly goes straight, and then teleports in a curved direction.. you cant miss it. its a horrible job.

  • @981Butterfly Just keep ur eye on the ball, after it got hit, it starts right ahead, but then it suddenly disapears and it reappears running in front of the camera.

  • @981Butterfly It definitely looks fake and makes sense that it is for an advert (just like the LeBron James one for Powerade). Pretending to hurt his hand and having his team mates shouting "Are you kidding me?" can quite easily be staged.

    Also, if this was real he wouldn't have made such a blatantly casual comment like that after catching it; he would have been pretty shocked. Instead it makes him look pretty damn cool for an advert if he's just like 'Yeah whatever, keep it on the pitch guys'

  • @981Butterfly wow, you really think its real? good luck in life dude coz ur gonna need it

  • FUCK YES THIS IS MY SONG

  • if you looook very good, you ll see that he alreadyy has a ball in his hand...

    THUMBS UP IF YOU SEE

  • Certainly fake, but cool.

  • @picassopainter2 agreed.

  • @picassopainter2 yepp, the real ball is a groundball if you look close :P but the commercial looks pretty cool indeed

  • fake

    

  • @TranceAccademy He caught it between her head and the point where his arm stopped, so it's when the camera shaked, so you couldn't see the impact to his arm, but where he brought the ball afterwards.

  • when he hit the ball y can see that the real ball is going down right !!!!check it

  • Sadly fake:( Go Rays!!!!

  • Lolz! Fake, i seen 2 balls, just when the bat beat.

  • As per mentionned 53sotiris, if you watch carefully between 0:06 and 0:07 you can see the ball...

    Look at the hip height of the batter, about one meter to the right. You will see a white trace from the true ball. Make pause and play a few times between 0:06 ET 0:07. It's the same at the end of 0:31.

  • Baseball And KSE FTW!!!!!!

  • @53sotiris Agreed!

  • he is superman thats the only way he did it xD

  • If watch exactly when the bat hit the ball, u can see 2 balls, the real and the fake take the curve.

  • No shit itsa fake. Its just a damn commercial. Smfh.

    

  • Considering that Longoria ADMITS it was faked, WTF are you all yammering about?

    It was for a Gillette ad - notice what's conveniently located on either side of his head?

    Look it up on snopes.com if you're too dumb to figure it out on your own.

  • @stlogan25 lmao too bad you're wrong for a multitude of reasons; some include that this isn't tropicana field, there is no batting cage, cages by the bases, or net in front of the pitcher, if you watch close enough the ball goes straight to center without tailing, and why is an interview being done on the baseline during batting practice? Hah

  • kilswitch engage! fuck yea!!

  • You idiots know nothing of baseball...because of the batter hitting a line drive the oppo way it tailed straight towards the reporter and the adrenaline rush added to the reflexes of Longoria caused him to grab it. And no it would not make him fall back or anything the ball didnt have that much velocity. It was hit hard but ive tried to bare hand balls like that before and it just bounced off my hand and internally bruised a bone :P as it probably did Longoria.

  • r u guys crazy its obviously fake quit flattering yourselves

  • This is fake because when he catches the ball his hand or arm don't move back any from the impact. A ball moving that fast would still have a descent impact on a bare hand. his hand/arm doesn't look affected by the catch at all.

  • @wiltchambers dude baseball players are used to that it is fake but that is definitely not the reason why

  • Uhm, you can actually see the ball go straight, and that the batter THROWS another ball at Longoria and the reporter. Look closely for the batters arm.

  • WHO GIVES A SHIT THAT ITS FAKE! ITS COOL TO WATCH

    

  • if you cant see the real ball going straight forward you gotta check your eyes or something. =)

  • name of the song please!!!!!

  • It was a gillete ad but Longoria is still my favorite player

  • this video doesnt prove that is a fake. The ball can do this trajectory.

  • You are full of crap, what a twit.

  • I don't think it's fake. I think it was lucky.

  • they ball is goiing 90 mph the camera cant see stuff going that fast.

  • It's not real, check the guy with the bat in the back!

  • Snopes says fake.

  • @ImJonno23 your dumb? MLB does not require a cage around the plate in pre game because the Kansas City Royals never put one up. And the batter does look? He starts yelling about it. I do believe its fake but your logic is dumb.

  • Ummm, no. Fake. This is not set up right for batting practice. No cage around the plate as required by MLB during pre game BP. Pitcher is on the mound. with no screen in front, and neither the batter or pitcher even looks that direction after the ball almost supposedly hits the reporter and he makes what would have been an amazing catch? Plus, no branding from whatever network this is on the video? If anyone would have caught this on video, they would make damn sure it was there for publicity.

  • It is a promotional spot. Notice no news name on the bar going across the bottom? People believe anything.

  • @TranceAccademy How would a camera man warn them about a screaming line drive that's probably going 100+ mph?! There's like a couple second reaction time!

  • @TranceAccademy

    watch?v=9UZXruyAT_E&feature=re­lated

  • Nice this music xD

  • Fake or real thats a baddass film , that is cool

  • @chavez1001000 Fake and yes, it's bad-ass!

  • u loser dumb who cant accept ppl wit skill

  • @Nesatur yea true...fuck this vdeo..its superinstict u cant deny that

  • @lurahz88 lol..you're so sad,but ok dude..I'll try to let you think,as I see you do this rarely..So,find me the rest of the interview and I'll totally trust you.

  • @TranceAccademy You don't watch much baseball , the ball does movements like that regularly. I have played a long time , and I have seen that kind of movement hundreds of times.
