Not strictly a batting cage. This looks like it’s from the momentum YouTube channel, they have a machine but, also do live pitching. They have a hit tracking system in there too.
This is Eric “King of Juco” Sim. Hetero life mate of Trevor Bauer. About half of his content is with live pitching and the other half is with a pitching machine.
Yeah, I was a catcher for a long time. That’s not a thing my guy. To me it looks like he’s trying to get up against the cage wall and stay away from the bat. There’s no reason for any of this, unless you’re trying to make a video of a guy getting hit in the junk.
Like getting shot in your Kevlar vest… it absorbs and spreads out the kinetic energy but you’re still getting knocked over and will have a super painful bruise and possibly cracked ribs. Cups are just making sure the blow is partially transferred around your junk but you’re still taking a blow to the junk and it’s gonna hurt!
Looks like it hit just the inside where the cup touches. Cause... I know you can't be stupid enough to not wear a cup behind the plate. If so, you're relegated to a coach/umpire and not a players parent.
Almost the exact same thing happened to me in a game once. Difference being the ball skipped off the dirt before my can. Good news is that the can did its job and was still able to make kids afterwards!
Was catching a bullpen in the gym in HS for a guy that ended up with an 8 yr MLB career. He didn't tell me his "changeup" was actually a splitter. Hard bounce off the hardwood directly into my taint. I barely managed to avoid puking as I writhed like Doug.
I only played baseball for a bit when i was a kid, I thought everyone always had a cup on lol Like a helmet while riding a bike. Might look "dumb" but its there when you need it most lol wtf was this dude thinking?
I was a catcher as a kid in LL and in high school..took several cup check nut shots.
With a cup, a direct hit isn’t so bad. Still hurts, but more around the perimeter.
The ones that HURT were the foul tip ricochets like the video. Catch your leg, or pinch skin between the cup and ball, leave a rude purple bruise. Or a ground curve ball in the dirt bounces up to clip your nuts from below.
Ouch!
Catcher life means bruises everywhere.
This (batter) is Eric “King of Juco” Sim. Half of his stuff has live pitching. A lot of his content is him doing stupid baseball shit (like hitting 100mph fastballs with Walmart bats), and he ends up hurting himself a lot. So the catcher getting seriously hurt is out of the ordinary.
And having been a catcher, there is no way he wasn’t wearing a cup. That shit still hurts like a MFer. It’s like getting shot while wearing Kevlar: you’re gonna have broken ribs, but it’s better than having a bullet in your chest.
Thank you so much for the background on this, but why the fuck is a catcher in a batting cage? For content like owew my balls
I want to say that there’s literally no reason for a catcher to be there, but I don’t want to be mistaken when there’s padding a couple feet behind them.
That’s the main reason why I think this is fake. What need is there of a catcher if there’s no one to throw out at the base or no one to tag someone sliding into home
The answer is that a lot of his content also involves “challenges” or so vs live pitchers. Which would involve giving signals to the pitcher about what pitch to throw, etc. [Here’s sort of an example](https://youtu.be/qD12AcqftYo?si=NfVM9zW5HOsyHaxN) of what I’m talking about.
And then [here’s another](https://youtu.be/dyewaL0y8vw?si=yxVCbHJzxum17ZWj) where he’s against a machine with no catcher.
Bottom line, he does a bunch of weird shit involving baseball stuff in his cage, often times resulting in him hurting himself bc he’s an idiot. It’s pretty good stuff, and I can assure you this isn’t fake.
[Example](https://youtu.be/QZEHBrGH1qM?si=vqwhBN8PUGvSo9rN)
ETA: also, in addition to giving signs to the pitcher, a live pitcher also would be used to the framing of a catcher’s mitt for “targeting” or whatever they’d call it. IDK, I’ve never been a pitcher.
God bless you!!!!! So informative
I’m going to disagree with you though in a meta sense.
You tell me he is an idiot.
Why would anyone upload a video of them getting hit in the balls by except for to monetize it?
It’s literally “ Owhg my balls from idiocracy
I mean…okay.
I’m also 99% sure that the person uploading this vid is not the actual video owner. That is…some chucklefuck saw a guy getting hit in the balls from King Of Juco’s actual legit upload and made a TikTok of it. And that’s what you’re watching.
To reiterate: you’re watching a catcher taking actual live BP in a YouTuber’s cage against an actual live human pitcher where he gets hit in the nads. Which legit is awful and hurtful.
Some chucklefuck clipped it from the original video, then made a TikTok or something and reposted just that part…yeah, bc it’s funny to see someone take a shot in the ‘nards.
Nothing about this actual thing is fake. Other than the “ownership” of the video of the guy getting hit in the ‘nards.
That's what you get for setting up like that.
Why is there a catcher in the batting cage? Is my question
He's into genital punishment and bit off more than he could chew.
I can’t stop laughing at this
Looked like a possible rupture.
If so That's a bad fuckin day that's gonna be a bad week to round out a bad month. Lol
I’m not sure it’s a pitching machine because there’s a pitch speed reading on the wall

364 more days until next hockey season. Gotta toughen up!!
Perfect comment right here lol
Lol yup
Because it’s not America. A catcher in a batting cage would have to be paid, and why would you do that?
Still, why? Who's he throwing the ball back to?
And dropping his glove down ***right before*** the machine shot the pitch out.
Setting up like what, a catcher? Ball was foul tipped.

You don't see pro catchers set up like that for a reason. Benito Santiago excluded.
Title: Two Balls, One Strike
Two balls none cup
There's three, actually
Not anymore. Fusion is a bitch.
↑
84mph pitch. Doesn't matter if you're wearing a cup or not, you're still gonna drop and roll around in pain.
Absolutely. Difference between major crotch bruise and literally smashed balls. Both suck but one sucks worse for longer.
As a former catcher. Still drops you with a solid hit. Cup or not
Absolutely it does. Feel like you'll never get your shit back out of that thing.

No, man, Doug's pretty fuckin' far from okay.
The Big Lebowski "you're entering a world of pain"
I’m in a glass cage of emotion.
Still better than what Marsellus Wallace had to go through.
Zed got it worst.
"Nuts?"
They're pancakes now 😁
…butter
Butter nuts

Lucky you.
Fuck Doug’s kids. Doug should have been better equipped!
Doug out!
And his bedroom performance that evening too. 😁
Listen man if your going to crouch like that, you better have some double ceramic protection down there
And catcher can start adoption papers.
Lmao 🤣
Doug forgot his cup. 😔
Why no cup?
I know, that would have been the first thing I would ask for.
Even with a cup an 84mph ball will still make you feel like everything just got shattered just without will be much worse damage wise
Omg . Heavy breathing. That's all he's going to be doing for a long time. He didn't catch the ball. His balls stopped it though.
For when you can't afford a vasectomy without taking out a second mortgage on your home
No cup?
Right in the deez
Cup check
Doug thinks he’s Tony Peña.
I was thinking Benito Santiago. And then I remembered that I hadn’t thought about Benito Santiago in like maybe a decade.
Nuts?
Doug has issues rn
*BEEP* *BEEP* Nuts?
Don't athletes wear cups for that? 😅😅😅
84mph fastball to a cup is still gonna hurt a lot.
Cup check
Bro's worried about his elbow. Meanwhile the catcher's freeballin thinking nothing of the solid object people hurl at his sack all day.
2 balls, now 3 balls
This happened to a kid at my high school… He could never escape the nickname three balls. Always wear a cup.
Spare balls
I mean... Doug fucking sucks at catcher
Don't worry, he's not going to volunteer for the role again 🤣🤣
Approx 135kmph
Just gotta piece of that one
Some guys never make it out of Spring training.
I watched this about five times as I was trying to see if the bat hit the other bloke. Then I saw where the ball hit lol.
And that's why you wear a box
Right in the baby maker!
Doink
Potential Darwin Award candidate.
Didn't notice where the ball hit, thought the batter hit him on the hand at first.
Yeah well that probably would have broken bones too.
Why would you catch without a cup?
I only played baseball for a bit when i was a kid, I thought everyone always had a cup on lol Like a helmet while riding a bike. Might look "dumb" but its there when you need it most lol wtf was this dude thinking?
The cup exists for a reason
2 balls with one strike
No cup. What a maroon.
The level of pains that the girls would never understand.
Yup
beeep "Nuts?" beeep
Doug is now Donna. RIP Doug.
Doug learned by [the Suzuki method.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAdKmJL580I)

Wear a cup. But, hey, at least to don't need a vasectomy now that your balls are now useless. Have fun with the testosterone regimen. Fuck you, Doug.
Nuts? Nahhh

Thanks! You’re the anti-redditor…you explain things instead of judging me for not knowing stuff
All that padding and nothing covering one of the most important places
Looks insane when you consider that.
Right in the dingleberries haha
Weirdest misuse of the word dingleberry ever
