read this in sports illustrated and had to check it out. isnt the heavy bat going to mess up with bones and muscles at such a young age when hes still developing? we wernt aloud to pitch more than 60 pitches in a gm and could only throw fastballs. no curveball til 12. we also had a weight limit on bats til 12
@DrNicod Right bro, and uh good luck getting a job interview when you’re attempting to berate people on the internet and not even using proper grammar to do so. Fill that resume up with stupidity right? You’re the smartest guy I know. I feel pretty alive myself. Don’t think I’ll need a prostitute either. I’m also 16 and sex isn’t a top priority at this point in time. You know, I plan on succeeding in life unlike yourself.
@MDFromNC13 And now youre watching this videos and thinking why you became such a looser, you should get a life probably, hire a prostitute, someone that makes u feel alive, what do u think
Big deal. Who cares? He’ll be stealing hubcaps by the age of 6.
@mantlemonkey30 I could hit soft toss to all fields when I was 5…you can do that without noticing..lol.
@MDFromNC13 dude, he’s 5
I saw this in sports illustrated. I was amazed that he can also hit it righty and lefty. He also fields like a star? My dad was also amazed
i just hope he doesn’t think hes hot shit… even though he is. major talent for his age.
He pulled almost every single one..
@yesiwonthegame i doubt that….this kid is hitting 85 mph balls…that not something you do at such a young age stop trying to look cool by making shit up
this was in sports illudtaated, its true. this kids got talent
his hitting is really good for his age but glove work is important too dad if you get that working as well he could really be something
Better get that boy on steroids and growth hormone…..Boss, de plane, de plane!
He should be using a smaller bat.
hes like the baseball version of jashoun agosto
wtf bats bigger than him
@zgrayadams How could that have been his dad.
1:32 could have been bad
@19jamk im not going to give my name out because if i do make it big which im not counting on i know this could come up some how but no this kids got a bright future i take back my earlier remark and after reading about this in sports illustrated the kid seems pretty funny
Big Deal — when i was 5 yrs, i had already scaled Mt. Everest — in my birthday suit.

@shitieat whats the big deal? you’re obviously gonna make a name for yourself with your baseball career anyways so you should be eager for people to see who you are.
shoot this kid is good
ricochetrob yea i forgot a 4′7 forty is slow but im going to stop talking because theres no point to argue haha
@shitieat yea just let me give you my name and i have been getting d1 offers and i plan on getting an education im not relying on baseball you fuck
@SupaBaller He was nervous as hell… HOW in heavens name can you expect a 5 year old kid to perform infront of a crowd? I’ve seen other videos of him and he can hit the ball pretty good. We are talking about 85mph here… HE IS 5 YEARS OLD. The fact that he can make contact is simply amazing. I’ve played baseball all my life and i started seeing 85mph pitches when i was 14
Its not the fact that this kid cant hit the ball solidly or somthing like a pop fly its the fact that this kid can barely understand what jimmys saying and can still make contact. thats pretty amazing know ones saying he can hit a home run but pretty soon all u haters out there will see that with some age and maturity this kid will be making solid contact and hitting in the big leagues.. plus the kid was nervous as u can clearly see.
lol actually in SI they said he didn’t play little league because he was too good.
@chisoxrk Wow – you can’t even spell ‘You’re’…. get back to grade school.
@SupaBaller i bet when you were 5 you didnt even know what a baseball was let alone how to hit one. your just retarded.
You can tell Ariel is like “Shut the fuck up you old hag”.
I can’t believe that people are rushing to defend this kid and put down Jimmy Kimmel. The kid hit a couple of pop ups and ground outs, but whiffed on a couple too. Talk about this kid being over hyped. I read the SI article expecting to be impressed with him… Yawn.
If I were Jimmy, I would have asked the same questions. Where is this kids dad, and why didn’t he say a word? Talk about an embarassing segment for the producers who have a guest who can’t produce a one word answer. Maybe Jimm
The kid did great under pressure!
@mets4ever41 screw the mets…he should play for the twins!!!
just thank bout it this lil kid is alreading hittin 85 mph fastballs just thank about wen he gets 13 he gone be shattering balls
mets outta sign him!
Jimmy Kimmel is a dick.. He’s five and a half and on live tv! But this kid is sick
Wow, this video would be cool if it wasn’t for Jimmy Kimmel and that loser in the gray slacks. The audience humored Jimmy; they couldn’t think any of that was funny.
The kid rocks! He let his bat do the talking and let Kimmel’s empty comments disintegrate into thin air.
If only more people would realize the irrelevant garbage that comes out of the mouths of these media types and just repond with stares that say, “are you done hearing yourself talk yet?” Pathetic, Jimmy.
BEAST!
@retsej515 Ok so it was the dad’s dream to be on late night talk shows? STFU…
When your 5 & you can play baseball like him your bound to get some attention…I highly doubt his dads pushing him onto tv you fucking cocksucker….kill urself!
@FFMcFuch jeez settle down
Oh Jimmy you are ssssooooo fucking funny…phsyc…you’re a douche bag and so is your mumbling douch bag sidekick…he’s a pussy faced suck up who probably sucked your dick to get a litlle air time
Kimmel can be a bitch or just making the kid very uncomtarable.
I’m 5′ 11″and I use a 32″ bat……..
He’s the Yankees youngest prospect
he’s soooo cute!!!!!
@rscholl24 ok this is true. but i was thinking more along the lines of him being nervous and scared and the hosts were making it better on him
Never watch Kimmel cuz I always thought he was stupid. This vid verifies my evaluation. I kept wondering when he was finally going to shut his retarded mouth. That other guy, whose name is apparently Adam Carolla (clearly, I have no idea who the fuck he is) kept trying to get him to shut up “Normally I’m jealous that you have a late night show, but not now.” And then kimmel responds “well let’s do some batting.” but the dumb bitch starts shooting his stupid mouth again. thinking
@escobarstatus Not the baseball part you FAGTARD!!! The part where the 5 year old boy is on a late night talk show geared towards adults! The kid has skills, but so did Michael Jackson, doing gigs at strip clubs when he was 6! That damn Joe Jackson! Anyway, little Ariel will have bitter feelings toward his father if he keeps pushing him to do late night shows and hitting balls in the cage at the local strip joint! Oops sorry, got him mixed up with Jack-O. Ariel-O IS SCREWED! Thanks Joe A.
I’m so glad that they we’re making all of those jokes about the poor little kid. He’s 5 years old!! And they didn’t say one thing that was nice to him or something he would understand. “Do you speak english?” Wow, kimmel you’re a BITCH
