IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE MAJOR LEAGUES, HIRE AN EXPERIMENTAL FILMMAKER



Of all the places one expects to find avant-garde filmmaking, Deadspin? That itself is as strange as this video, which is just wonderfully odd. Everything about it hums with eccentricity, from the music to the camera angles to the text (not to mention the political subtext of him being a Cuban defector) to the graphics. According to the stats they provide, the guy's OPS is about 1.000 (which, for the uninitiated, would roughly be Jason Statham's OPS if action movies were baseball), so apparently he hits the crap out of the ball. But if he makes the majors, will he hit in slo-mo, like in this clip? I sure hope so.
