IShowSpeed wants an honest assessment of his baseball swing. The answer he gets in the batting cage is diplomatic: "It's day one. You'll get there."
Derek Jeter is less reassuring. "I don't have a lot of confidence in his success," the former Yankees captain says before putting Speed through his evaluation. Becoming a professional baseball player, even for an episode of Speed Goes Pro, means more than being quick on your feet.
The new upload has drawn roughly 830,000 views in less than a day. It opens the show's second season with a crash course led by St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn, followed by a chance to demonstrate what stuck in front of Jeter. The series is produced by OBB in partnership with Dick's Sporting Goods and includes a visit to the retailer's Miami store.
Liev Schreiber narrates as Speed works through baseball's core skills. Winn adjusts his batting mechanics, teaches sliding and sends ground balls his way. Those bouncing balls prove particularly unforgiving, catching Speed on the ankle during training and again during Jeter's fielding test.
There are genuine breakthroughs between the mishaps. After missing live pitches, Speed connects with a deep line drive. Later, he successfully executes Jeter's signature jump-throw, the airborne move familiar to anyone who watched the shortstop make plays from deep in the infield.
Running offers the clearest match between the assignment and the creator's name. With Jeter timing his trip to first base, Speed records 3.88 seconds, inside the target set for him.
Viewers are discussing the gap between general athleticism and baseball technique, along with Jeter's insistence on a tucked-in shirt. Even in a creator challenge, the Captain has standards.
