Japan has given the world some pretty good baseball players …
Ichiro, Wally Kaname Yonamine, Hideki Matsui, Kosuke Fukudome (jury’s still out) and the legendary Sadaharu Oh (and his World Record 868 Home Runs – suck it Barry) come to mind.
But none of them did anything as cool as this guy …
Watch as this martial arts master shows some incredible baseball skill by hitting a baseball with a pair of nunchaku.
“Aw, a fellow chucker, eh?”
Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be so proud.
I’m not sure how fast the pitching machine is slinging those balls, but I’m impressed.
He fouls a few of those balls back and to the side, but keep in mind a baseball bat is nearly 3 times the size of a nunchaku stick (approximately 1-1.5 inches thick). And the contact stick moves so quickly – it’s basically unseen to the batter/chucker.
I tried using nunchucks once … once. That didn’t turn out very well.
