Yoenis Cespedes: The Showcase

[speedracer129]

Welcome to Oakland baby!  Man, what's up with the crappy music in this video? It's not appropriate for a sports highlight video... no energy!

[GameGuru2004]

Im an A's fan...so you better not be staring at your homers like that in Oakland, you might get beaned next time your up.

[anthonycastromusic]

he looks like a fucking linebacker

[seandaily]

I know, let's start this highlight video with a badass soundtrack. I'm thinking...Christopher Cross 'Sailing.'

[dprimetime69]

Dudes swing is a work of art

[leonardphill25]

I want this video on my F610 unit.

[bret0037]

How did it take this long for someone to finally use "Sailing" by Christopher Cross in a baseball highlight video?

[kbruins23]

@bret0037 LOL seriously wtfff...BUT i kinda love it

[choboo9]

OVER PRODUCED. SHOW THE DAMN PLAYER!!!!

[JpSliker24]

idk but man Cespedes has been working his ass off!! just keep it up bro.. No dejes que el dinero te cambie como persona y tampoco como un Athleta.. Echaleganas Cespedes y todo estara bien primo.

[marcosmyros]

None of this is very impressive for a "pro"

[sirthomas454]

What's with this goddamn music?!

[obolanos1975]

I'd like to see him stare at a homerun like he does at 3:55. A big boy major leaguer will take his freaking head off next time he does that.

[supersaiyanjow]

show me 50 muscle ups in row or 15 1 handed pull ups and i will be impressed

[supersaiyanjow]

45 inch box jump is not that impressive for a pro athlete

[akc4]

this is so fucking stupid. good luck hitting MLB pitchers. Videos of him doing situp/standups? CORE STRENGTH. give me a break. Might be good, but not that good Oakland. Waste of $.

[rollercoasterfweak]

GO A's!!!

[altratronic]

Oakland will trade him for prospects. They always do that.

[primeburger6]

I'm liking that oppo power... looking like a good pick up for Oaktown

[jonferris24]

At 5:17 his stance/swing looks dangerously close to Wily Mo Pena. They are built somewhat similarly, also... Wily Mo is a mountain of a man, though. Don't think there is anyone bigger than him in the league. Maybe Broxton or Todd Coffey, but he's just fat :P

Anyway, here... start the reel at 5:17, then search "wily mo pena goes oppo" on youtube. There's a 28 sec clip of him going yard in AAA. Shockingly similar IMO

[nigassma]

Skip to 2:20 if you want to skip over the absolute lamest intro that YouTube has ever seen.

[the49ERSALLDAY]

He's going to choke in Oakland!!! Giants>A's

[bayareagooner]

@the49ERSALLDAY

Nice choke job Kyle Williams had in the NFC Champ game, or did you move on to the Giants now. Great choke job the Giants had in August last year too, you are just bitter because the best guy you picked up this off season, Melky Cabrera, was a Yankee reject.

[soccerdude415]

@the49ERSALLDAY last time i checked your giants chocked to the A's in a world series

[the49ERSALLDAY]

@soccerdude415 I doubt you even remember that or were even alive LMFAO!!!! In my lifetime I've seen the Giants in two world series and they won one!! The A's haven't done shit in my lifetime so idgaf

[JpSliker24]

@the49ERSALLDAY THE A's won in in 89 and againts your giants dude.

look it up.

[the49ERSALLDAY]

@JpSliker24 sorry dude that isn't going to help you this year....

[HillsideKlepht]

@the49ERSALLDAY you're right it won't.... neither will aubry huff, freddy sanchez and most of the other guys you have batting in SF.

[the49ERSALLDAY]

@HillsideKlepht you have who good on your team???........NOBODY!!!!!

[the49ERSALLDAY]

@HillsideKlepht that "kid" is already 26 and Pablo's weight didn't stop him from hitting .315 last season and Buster has already recovered you Moran..... but seriously i feel really bad for the A's. it's going to take a miracle for them to win 50 games.

[mfresh1965]

I wish Yoenis Cespedes luck in the bigs but these white boys will have a problem with the showboating and taunting common in Cuba. They play for the fans and their territory there. But whitey will pull the rule book out on behavior, no such thing either, to make up for their own inadequacies. All sport is emotional. You have to have passion to get to the highest level but the honkeys ruin it for all who are supremely and entirely more athletic than them, this includes the rest of the world.

[kpeck54]

@mfresh1965 It's not the rulebook he'd have to worry about. It'd be the 100 mph heater aimed squarely at his head if he decides to show up the pitcher.

[mfresh1965]

@kpeck54 We'll worry about getting hit in the head when it happens but since you brought it up. Hiding behind the ruse of throwing a baseball for a strike to hit somebody in the head doesn't work anymore. Those guys can see that coming... sorry to hurt your feelings. Cespedes is a talent... let him get established and then make an ass of himself... if he does, But you whiteboys got this inferiority complex, you can't let shit go... thats mental. BTW, Cubanos can throw 105 mph, so batter up!

[sharkisland89]

A's better play Sailing as his on deck music.

[BKman9]

That has to be the sorriest claim at a leg press I have ever seen.

[genesogreen]

He'll look great in the Green and Gold. A's are likely to contend within a couple of years.

[RFBleachers149]

LET'S GO OAKLAND!

[NoriegaEso]

Short Dog, that's Oakland, baby!!!

[tflo1313]

its like barney stinsons video resume

[theCRIMSONtradition]

11:11

[m1spike]

WELCOME TO OAKLAND

[jovanb101]

Even this guys nick name if fucking long lmao

[mattdiaz35]

LET'S GO OAKLAND!!!!

[grusumm18]

post the version with sailing

[artamnesia]

@grusumm18 This is the one with "sailing".

[grusumm18]

@artamnesia i went full retard

[Andrewrx85]

Jesus Montero > Yoenis Cespedes ...I like the A's though and i'm happy for them! Over hyped video though!

[harrism84]

whatever happened to the 'woe is me' Oakland A's...frauds.

[chugonomics]

6:40 the guy filming him runs fast

[cw5394]

Welcome to Oakland Yoenis!

[bigwoodyification]

OAKLAND BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheScottyC21]

And I thought Billy Beane was doing nothing all offseason...I guess he had a master plan all along.

[DxStitchy]

You know why I love the A's? Because BIlly Beane does things like come out of nowhere and sign Yoenis Cespedes. Im so glad his contract was extended through 2019!

[WhereEaglesDare117]

TOWN BUSINESS

[Agureghian]

welcome to Oakland BRO

[meestachao400]

@Agureghian lol you will still get fucked up by the AL West

[nyyfan1234]

i love how everyone instantly becomes a scout, just enjoy the mistery that comes with this guy instead of trying to say he is going to be a bust with no real consenquenses for you if he isnt one

[TaylorTV5]

Forget it Cub fans. He's gonna be a Marlin!

[IXIAdRiaNIXI]

lol if u say anything bad about this guy they will remove ur comment. i dont know whos gona see this but all my comments were about how pathetic his fuckin speed and workouts are. what hes doin is nothin special, nothing a normal high school athlete in the united states couldnt do. 4.3 sec T drill is what all our starting receivers were runin freshman year of high school

[DrewPurvis]

this megalomaniac sure likes letter-high fastballs . . . can't swing at that garbage in the bigs and be successful . . . also can showboat like God's gift to sports every time your ball just clears the fence unless you wanna get drilled next time up . . . this dude will flop in the MLB

[teamunreel19]

bet you he has attitude problems the way he is acting so boastful already i would hate to see him get a big contract and think he is king of baseball

[MrJerpink]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

[MikeLikesToSleep]

Scouts must love the way he stares at his HRs.

[travis8352]

this is an instructional video for white people on how to be black

[thecubsyear]

In a highlight video, why does it take 2:20 to see a highlight?

[ovechkin651]

It's like watching a bigfoot video, it's kinda hazy and so amazing it's unreal. My reaction : "It can't be real! Sh*t is that a tail on him!?"

[haggistheman1525]

I cannot believe I wasted the last 20 minutes of my life watching this guy... Was not very impressed with him. I mean he's gonna be a big league ball player, so no doubt he's good, but I don't think he'll stand out too much. Who knows though. Baseball is a funny game. I'm excited to see how all these new players hold up in the states.

[multiversalpictures]

played Danger zone over this. Awesome.

[tmoney0728]

4:00 slower than big papi

[bzeindeucedeuce]

This is the worst video I've ever seen, is this a real-life mimic of domingo ayala? fucking clown.

[bzeindeucedeuce]

This is the worst video I've ever seen.

[bzeindeucedeuce]

This is the worst video I've ever seen.

[lazerdice]

holy shit 14:20 guy robs home run lets sign him... all this guy is doing is lifting weights go play football if u can bench press 350 and the leg press sucks

[werovert99]

"I Got Hops!"

[bigdinkel]

Homeboy is almost 27. If he was that good, then he would of signed by the Yankees a long time ago.

[bigdinkel]

Yes, I'm a Cubs fan. Yes, I wanted to know more about this kid and I'm a closet Christopher Cross fan.

[scarsofbravery]

video is extremely unprofessional and bench press means shit in baseball, but this guy will be a very good player in the mlb. 26 years old but who knows how old he is

[edmiller3786]

looks like the Kenny Powers comeback video LOL

also, 1300lbs on that leg press isn't that crazy. It's INCLINE press and he's not even going down far enough. My little sister could bend her knees 10 degrees and hold up that weight SMH

[BossThugington]

@edmiller3786 Yoenis....Cespedes......is....­..coming.......fucking.......s­oon.

my first reaction also

[tyschulz9]

@edmiller3786 Well if your sister is good at baseball she can come play for the Cubs to

[MrBaseballPlyr]

Yoenis my brother! Buena suerte mi hermano, que dios te bendiga y ojala continues trabajando duro asi. Se que diosito te ayudara y te abrira las puertas para las grandes liga. Siempre humilde y trabajando duro. Keep working hard my brother- mi mejor apollo de parte de MVP Baseball Training.

[alacranandtortuga]

THE SECOND COMING OF WILLY MO PENA .

[JFvids33]

NFL?



[dtw28]

Christopher Cross...for real?

[UCAPxFlame]

outfielder at 14:18 got skillz

[UCAPxFlame]

6:20 for training

[jimpchip]

Wow, was this painfull to watch.

[mbw987]

This makes me happy that I do not live in Cuba.

[ssage232]

Incredible showboat

[michaelkatims]

in a 90 game season!

[flyboy51691]

Sooo the HR Record in Cuba was 32....ummm r u kidding me

[69ALLybally]

@flyboy51691 only a 90 game season..

[flyboy51691]

@69ALLybally that makes sense ok thanks than in ht point...damn

[DJKELLY145]

@flyboy51691 they dont play 162 game in a year!

[ThickerThanH2OTV]

this dude is going to be a great hitter in the majors.... i think its pretty inevitable... and if the yankees pass up on him i will be incredibly upset

[peterosenrosen]

possibly the worst video of all time! maybe it was produced in cuba on 1960's equipment? if it's meant to showcase this guy's skills, why do they show just a couple of swings in the first 3 minutes? Does he play the field or just blast some homers? boring music and no showcase of anything. unwatchable crap!!! maybe the maker should watch a sports video or two to see how its done!!

[Borgata44]

This guy kinda reminds me of Sammy Sosa a little bit. Tremendous opposite field strength.

[MCNeurotiK]

why were ppl saying that he looks older than 26? He looks younger to me...

[qbybball23]

jesus music with a star wars text introduction, along with slow motion replays and elevator music.  the tears in my eyes...

[MontyBrimstone]

this video reminds me of something Kenny Powers would make

[MontyBrimstone]

nice fucking music, haha

[deeshette]

All I know is that he's going to look good in an Angel's uni

[Samproofmyson]

Excellent video.Don't know who these negative people are. I found the use of Spanish & Japanese to be helpful in showing the range of baseball in all cultures. Sometimes, the games drag, but not this video. It's well done.

[mzapicchi]

this is garbage

[mariomasv]

I have been watching this video for 3 minutes.... snore.

[cuzz4169]

not as good as Kenny Powers video!!!

[swiftg87]

I hope he's not another Wily Mo Pena.

[penguinhamster]

10:46 looks like a sex position

[prospectcanada]

this guy is so bush league. He'd get his head knocked off in the bigs...

[nikecrazy22]

i dont know he looks like a regular power hitting major leaguer. nothing that blew my mind. we'll see how that long looping swing does against guys like verlander or CC

[elcubanito1700]

I like Cespedes but Cepeda is much better player which I'm still surprise he hasn't defected as well

[metalupurass11]

5:15 look at the opposite direction power

[metalupurass11]

The Tigers need this guy. Someone with speed and power that they can put in the leadoff or 2nd spot. Once Delmon Young is out of town we could put him in LF

[3answer1]

This guy is hitting 350+ homeruns in bp (which few people can do)... Let him watch his balls sail!! Lets worry about him looking at his dingers when hes in the majors :)

[Dubberzz]

90,000 views and 87,000 are desperate Cubs fans.

[69ALLybally]

@Dubberzz LOL good one.

[davidjrosen]

@Dubberzz I know I am!

[ecaep86]

@Dubberzz how you know lol

[Dubberzz]

@ecaep86 I'm one of them.

[PJalst]

If he makes it to the Majors, he needs to stop standing at the plate watching his Home runs or he's going to need surgery to remove leather from his ear.

[RafaelBosque22]

My god tell all those cubans to escape a big paycheck is near

[mohammadzafar]

i heard he's asking for 60 million, that's RIDICULOUS. I dont care what he does in this video, i wud have to see him face major league pitchers for 3-4 years before id give him anything close to 60 million!!

[LordReay]

This is hilarious. Dude loves himself. 

[ChickenFriedHamMan]

Cubs will be in on this guy, and Darvish, if they dont sign Fiedler

[Mrwho601]

The yankees are said to pursue yu darvish, but if thats the truth, then most likley the highest bidders for him would be tigers and the marlins.Because the marlins diddent sighn pujols,they have alot of money to spend(they reportley offerd pujols 275mill for 10 years.). Right noww i think that the marlins are thae frontrunners for cespedes but that could change if the tigers or any other mlb team are willing to pay the reported 60 million or higher that cespedes wants.

[Mrwho601]

i think that the tigers should get cespedes. ive heard that the yankees,tigers,and marlins are the most intrested in him.

[1stSTLCrusader]

Go Cards. We can use that 220M$ to sign to him and the new #5

[1stSTLCrusader]

He did all this just to escape Cuba

[WEA41]

Cubbies anybody?

[kidsouthpaw7]

To the Tigers to play left field. Tigers trade Delmon Young to Braves for Matin Prado to play 2nd base.

[Umenyiora922]

@kidsouthpaw7 That would be the absolute PERFECT scenario. The Tigers would instantly become a force to be reckoned with.

[TooQuick4uu]

hope the tigers get him but hopefully he wont be doing any of the stuff he was doing starting at 10:45 lmao

[mrmotownmadness89]

I want him on the Tigers. Cespedes, Jackson and Boesch in the outfield. Damn thats good.

[vitorbelfort]

@Mellowsmuze haha you DUMB! you wouldnt pay 3 million a year for this guy? fool

[crisco626]

i feel like he should be playing every other sport besides baseball

[vitorbelfort]

@crisco626 that makes you stupid

[dsparks003]

This is so bad that it's brilliant. "Sailing"? Why? I have so many questions. 

[renright13]

Cuba looks so shitty

[Shoonutz]

This is too funny. WHERE ARE THE FUCKING SWANS??? Gonna have to wait and see on this guy. His numbers are impressive...in Cuba. How they translate to MLB is anyone's guess though. And no, how a player performs in the WBC should not be used as a tool to measure how they'll do in MLB (just look at Dice-K....AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!). In the end, numbers are good, this video is junk (missing the damn swans), and Cespedes may or may not be a great major leaguer.

[Goldencrates]

KENNY POWERS

[yonish1742]

Welcome to Detroit:) Miggy Cabrera and this guy back to back in the order is scary! not to mention victor martinez who drove in over 100 rbi's right behind them too!

[comebackkidje]

How's all this going to help him while playing baseball? Guy shoulda been a football player.

[wimpyliberalbuster32]

Monday (9pm ET): Via Frankie Piliere, the Yankees are currently seen as the “clear frontrunners” for Cespedes. 

[dmkennedy555]

@wimpyliberalbuster32 actually detroit is the frontrunner according to sources to retain his services... its gonna come down to who he'd rather play for detroit or new york and he'll pick detroit if both contracts are somewhat equal. Detroit has more latin players than florida which is dombroskis strategy for signing talent in detroit.

[rambam77]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[musiqsoulchild3]

Prestige World Wide...Wide...Wide

[BMeister22]

This has to be one of the worst "showcase" videos I have ever seen. I sort of feel bad for Cespedes. This video should have been 18:30 shorter.

[BMeister22]

Thumbs up if you started laughing when the music started at 6:30.

[gomer1021]

haha this music, omg.

[wolfhopejtyler]

welcome to new york

[IamJustinM]

The player looks impressive, but this video is trash.

[garfield8665]

@IamJustinM

LOL... IMovie

[mariamartinez5677]

Try that admiring garbage in MLB.

[thedyland22]

Sorry Pittsburg, the map says he's headed to Oklahoma next year...

[jayxrob]

The only thing this video tells me is that Star Wars would have sucked if Christopher Cross did the soundtrack.

[mauman2000]

Has an Andruw Jones type finish on his swing...

[piperlee11]

Please dont ever compare this guy to Bo Jackson! Oh and that leg press with his homies sitting on the machine, yeah that wasnt even a half rep. 50 million F that!

[lbjames231]

I got through 5 minutes of this video and had to stop it because the music is fuckin horrible. Should have been more up tempo, something exciting.

[reppamon]

THIS PROMO VID IS SHIT!

[rmattia2454]

let's see how good he is after he gets a positive result from the now tested HGH

[bfox5151]

anyone else see that he's cheating in every drill......?

[ElDominicano8011]

11:30 thinks he's nasty

[TheDrMcsexy]

People really don't understand the brilliance of this video. This is art. 

[Duncoify]

I feel like I'm watching an SNL skit. 

[santiesteban62]

el estaria bien en los yankees, go yankees

[Josed5792]

Str8 To the MLB Saw him training at VIP FItness kids a beast

[PLBIV]

also.... this video would be like 6 minutes if all the awkward slo-mo was taken out....

[PLBIV]

the first clip of ANY baseball playing is at 2:17 .... justsayin

[007bakstop]

steroids, overrated, they should have sank his raft

[bigvato20]

Chicago Cubs!!!

[bmattiscool]

get out of CUBa and come to the CUBs

[Danob545]

PLEASE RED SOX PLEASE GET HIM

CHERRINGTON IF YOU'RE READING THIS

GET HIM
