World Cup winning cricketer Jos Buttler takes on baseball with World Series winner Chase Utley

Jos butler be like I will hit this full toss ball all my life even in my dream 😂😂😂

This settles baseball cricket debate!!! cricket>>baseball

You can see that his instinct is to use his wrists and arms to ‘place’ the ball rather than trying to hit it out the park. Cricket is 99% timing and placement, his muscle memory was too ingrained.

A baseball player would never be able to touch a 90 mph bouncer.

He is one of the best strikers of white ball cricket..90mph is a cake for him.

Baseball + Brain = Cricket

Who doesn’t love full tosses in cricket😂

Facing 90 mph curve ball is not easy. Jos is a natural.

I grew up in India playing cricket. Moved to US at 21 and switched to baseball. I'm 39 now. Both the sports are equally tough.

I loved playing cricket and rounders at school. If baseball had been offered, I would have enjoyed that, too. I also loved basketball. However, at only 5’ 3” I didn’t have much to offer! Same with volleyball. I never got on with hockey, but really enjoyed watching it.

this video is brilliant, love to see jos being finally credited for how good he is, they could’ve taken any big hitting cricketer to film this but the one man who stands out was taken, double world cup winning jos the boss, love to see it ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A keeper doing catching practice. I am pretty sure Buttler can do that with his eyes closed and without the gloves lmao

All jokes aside this guys could be a good baseball player had he grown up in the US. He hit 90 off the machine with awful mechanics. Love the vid. Chase is the goat

With our American friends in mind. Batting whether cricket or baseball starts with hand/eye co-ordination and Jos as an England cricketer has that A++. Next the ball comes through the air - three basic pitches fast, slow, curved. This is straightforward to deal with compared to cricket where most balls hit the ground first and the batsman has a very short time frame to decide how to deal with it. Bowl a full toss in cricket to a player of Jos' ability and it will get the treatment. Where baseball is harder is its a round rather than straight face to the bat and the baseball bat has less diameter. I think with a little time English cricketers would master the bat differences as they have the basic skills already there. Jos showed that I think. Only the wicker keeper has gloves in cricket - all other players catch the ball with their bare hands. This makes catching the baseball easier than catching the cricket ball as Jos found out. Again - he already has A++ ball catching skills in place, the baseball mitt made it easier. Each game has its own skills and strategies. Most Brits see baseball as rounders - but there is much more to it than that. Cricket, especially 5 day test match cricket, for me is the more interesting game bearing in mind the variances in cricket pitch/wicket, the different types of bowling - pace, medium, swing, spin and the variances in the way the ball can be bowled. And the subtleties in field placements. Though understood its an alien concept to many Americans - particularly the 60 or so different fielding positions and many of which have whacko names. Cow Corner, Silly Mid On and Backward Point for example?

One thing I have learnt from these kinds of video, if you're world class in one sport you're really really good at most sports too.

Even the baseball player looks overwhelmed like how good he is playing baseball even if its the first time.

Joss is such a good bloke

Base ball is way easy then cricket😅

I don't want to disrespect baseball but people have to understand that cricket is 100x more complex and difficult than baseball. Cricket vs. baseball is kinda like Interstellar vs. Twilight.

The American guy should try his hand at cricket 🏏
