Hi
Nice
Hi😊
No
Was a blast playing with you Mark!! Unreal experience.
He too cool for humanity
I had no idea there was a MLW. Totally awesome. I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest Mark’s contraptions might have been a bit of a stretch of your rules. 😂
Mark is truly the best WiffleBall player
It really is unreal
Bro seeing how far you guys have come is insane 😂
Mark is the only person who can get away with blatantly cheating because of how cool it is. 😂
It’s not cheating they never said you couldn’t move the bases
@@timdadwagan 💀
Also, he’s just a fun goofy guy
What do you mean, I dont see a single cheat in this entire video, you must be off your rocker!
If there’s not a rule for it, then it’s not against the rules, therefore not cheating.
i like how knorp is such an absolute beast that he figured out how to counter the balls specifically designed to be unhittable
no comment let me fix that
😂hahahahahaha
My favorite part about these videos, is the way he explains stuffs. Wrenches flying off a smooth side was WAY easier to understand than if a teacher talked about air rolling of the smooth side easier and allowing the ball to turn that way
This explanation is wrong. It doesn't make any sense.
@@yaroslavtarasenko3157it does lmao
This is like the mad scientist villain in a cartoon trying to cheat in a friendly competition, but the cheating inventions didn't backfire
My farts are better than Mark's farts
@@p-__ You would blush and giggle after falling for an ICUP joke, shut your mouth, dehydrated blueberry
Its like Eggman in Sonic.
What would be all the names for them?
he's definitely not the villain... he's the hero
Mark is literally living a cartoon-level plot line in this
He's your cool next door neighbor who shows all the neighborhood kids how to make all kinds of neat things
Indeed, but did you enjoy how the editors included a Benny Hill sound track to the mobile bases scene? That's not cartoon humour. It's 1960s/70s English slapstick.
fr bro 🤣
just thinking the same thing, like is this a johnny test or phineas and ferb episode rn 💀
@@DoJ22 yea bro 💀
I find it both mortifying and hilarious how Mark's "evening the playing field" is him having cybernetic enhancement.
This is Loony-Tunes tactics come to life, and I absolutely love it
Mark: Baseball. Mark five minutes later: ASTRONAUT WRENCHES
being a nasa engineer really messed his head
@@EmanuelLopesS2 it didn't mess up his head he just uses his knowledge he got from NASA to make entertaining videos
@@joshuatallman797he was being non-literal
Wiffle ball*
@@BootyClaimer but hw was talking about baseball
Mark is the definition of “but wait: there’s more”
100% agree!!
more like "wait: theres mark"
no
@@calebbowen667 no
I love the How Ridiculous footage cameo!! Hope you all work together again, I loved the trampoline!
20:30 when he threw that one it should have had the little wrenches coming off it 😂😂😂😂😂
Not joking, this is one of the funniest things I've seen all year so far. Every time the players destroyed one of Mark's gimmicks, he just grabbed another one out of his massive bag. Beautiful.
Yeah, it felt like watching some of these kids cartoon shows where the protagonist just coming up with more and more ridiculous gadgets. Very entertaining to watch, and the unpredictability of when the next gadget will be used made me stick and watch the whole thing.
ok
this is what playing baseball with an artificer would look like
I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Mark just bop Jimmy (The knorpedo) on the shoulder with the ball
@@fullmoonshadow6967 I didn't catch that, but it does seem pretty hilarious!
There’s story telling, there’s science, there’s innovation and engineering. Wish we had someone like Mark when I was growing up.
Yeah, imagine how inspiring it would be as a little kid seeing content like this!
Bill nye the science guy?
You still are growing up. Everyone is.
@@Claire_Wow fr bill nye was such a w
Here he is on youtube teaching us, and here you are not dead yet. Not too late
This whole whiffle ball professional league is one of the greatest things ever. I love oddball sports like this or disc golf or chess boxing. The Knorrpeedo is awesome.
You are my favorite KZheadr! Such creative ways to make people think learn something new and always in a fun demeanor thanks for what you do and as always can’t wait for the next video
Thank you so much for having us out Mark, was a blast meeting you and the crew!
It was totally fair😂😂😂😂
Go preds!
Ayy Preds Nation! I hope you guys have a great season!
You're not the real Alec Warda. I'm the real Alec Warda.

Okay but the sheer accuracy with how insane the curves on those pitches were, mad respect for the level of skill that'd take.

Cricket: The pinnacle of all what you are talking about. Swings, drifts, curves and bananas in graphic detail delivered and negotiated in a fraction of a second - where the ball is hard and heavy, and a weapon - and wot not
I am 39 and played quite a bit of wiffle ball back when i was younger. Amazing. This is one of the best entertaining and most wholesome videos ive ever seen on KZhead. Well done sir. Well done.
I love how mark just walks into a house and everyone is cool with it lol
Don't do that, look at what happened to Mizzy. Oh wait, basically nothing.
It does help when they already clearly know who he is and that he used to live there.
Everybody already knows him. It used to be HIS house .😊
And I am sure they called ahead. Place was spotless.
@@werxeh hahaha trueee, I watched the video by Charlie
I have to say that the professionals proved their worth by combating Mark's level ups. They must know him. This was hilarious.
Probably the best advertising money can't buy for their sport.
Well... I'd hate to spoil the fun of it, so I'm not gonna say anything.
@@mac1991seth say it i want to know
@@thelikebutton3369 It was to an extent, pre planned. Someone hooked the air back up for the last trick to work, I'm sure they expected something.
Has Knorp ever tried to throw for a professional team? I know a wiffle ball and baseball are completely different but that dude has talent. 74mph wiffle ball with that movement? FOH. I know its limited so of course he has more gas.
This felt like when a spy base gets raided in a movie and the tech-head who provides all the gadgets just keeps pulling out prepped counters to every little thing, incredible haha
20:20 When you said you were going to rely on everything you had learned, I thought you meant you were going to throw a wrench at him.
Dang
Ah yes throwing a wrench into anybody else’s plan is the exact reason why I like villain movies
i wanna know how your brain works
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.
💀
the 2nd half of the video felt like a looney tunes cartoon. 18:36 the fact mark just pulls out a wiffleball launcher out of nowhere and uses it to win is just-
Except we want the villain to win😂
Lol Serious coyote vs roadrunner vibes. xD
@@Forgot10Legends exactly
@@GetTheFOutOfMyWay that's what i was thinking lol
hey, sorry to invade the replies but does anyone know what the song is in that scene? shazam gave me "Jacinda Said" but i refuse those lyrics are in the original track edit: found it! Addict by NEFFEX (instrumental)
I fell in love with in physics just because of you Mark, thank you so much for being such a great inspiration!

This is my absolute favorite video that you’ve made. You made an amazingly beautiful story here. It really should be your most popular if it isn’t already.
Mark is like the kid that never grew up, only got smarter instead. He's got that same 'I'm going to do what I want and have fun' attitude of Tony Hawk and I love it.
More like Tony Stark
@@harryjoe425 He's not enough of a douchebag to be Stark
The only difference between kids and adults is that adults are forced to pay for things. Anyone who thinks there's more to it than that is only limiting their own potential happiness.
Imagine if Mark supplied the bats. He could just say "expelliarmus" and Jimmy's bat would just fly away like a rocket.
My farts are better than Mark's farts
Don’t give him ideas
I'd love to see that. Or he could say "Lumos" and the bat produces a series of flash that blinds the player for a few seconds haha
@@Pangster I said DONT give him ideas
Or accio for the Bat to turn into a electromagnet, making the (modified) ball fly straight to it.
0:25 quick answer for that question. It’s mostly back spin. You either throw or hit a ball at a certain way or angle to give a curve like throw or shot.
That was hilarious and instructing! Thank you
This was actually far more entertaining than I thought. The stupidity of rigging everything and slowly revealing it made me smile.
I love how when he actually hit the ball normally, he threw the bat up like it was a home run in itself lol looks like you guys had fun! 😄
My farts are better than Mark's farts
@@p-__ why??? 🙄
@@p-__May I verify?
What got me was how he was so excited he actually made contact that he forgot to start running the bases lol
@@p-__ proof
An amazing video Mark. Love your work!
Bro, be pulling guns out in a professional wiffleball
Knorp came expecting wiffle ball while Mark was actually playing Calvin ball. Absolutely brilliant! Gotta give them credit though, the pros seemed to be taking it all in stride!
Calvin ball is the best way to describe this
Calvinball* No space. But yeah, this is Calvinball.
And that he struck some pro baseball players out was nice.
@@loganlyons1634 absolute chaos, my favorite
love this reference.
Thank you Mark and Crew! It was an honor to meet you in Oklahoma. The MLW squad had a blast!
B Schultz return?

Like this so Mark sees it!

Mark coming back to Brea is amazing because that’s my home town, been there for awhile and I wish I saw him, thanks for coming back Mark!
Learning Mark made a diy crossbow in 8th grade was unexpected but also exactly what I expected
“Perry the platypus how unexpected… AND BY THAT I MEAN COMPLETELY EXPECTED” -Dan Povenmire (or however you spell it)

I have 25, and literally all the videos make a smthng inspirational about my career, Im so grateful with the actitud and the lessons in final of the videos. :)
Just when you’d think Mark was out of tricks, he pulls another one. ❤
He had the whole deck up his sleeve
One more cheat and he'd be eligible for MLB.
@@sethmath2778 ”Mark, wheres the entire deck?” *Meanwhile marks oversized sleves:* i dont know
THATS WHAT SHE SAID ❤
I like how Mark referred to the record set by Dude Perfect at 11:05, because he thought it wouldn’t be possible :)
When is he gonna eat that basketball?
But when is he eating his basketball?

You are amazing mark. You brought so many memories back from my childhood.... thank you
Honestly I love that mark isn't afraid to embrace the inner child that's still in him (and honestly in all of us lol) I love that he just enjoys playing games and reviving all his childhood hobbies for other generations. This video was very enjoyable! P.S 21:45 actually made me cry laugh
True😂😂😂😂
nice111
Look at the crowd, they are laughing and dumbfounded as well as cheering lol
I love Knorp's look of sheer confusion too. Like, I can hear his brain just going "Whuh?!:
@@MercuryA2000 He's like, "I shoulda expected this, but at the same time... HOW?!"
I just love how he makes such random things, you never know what he will do next
expressing air to spanner is nice metaphor and thank you for translating Korean. 21:44 lol
21:16 Lol when he low key missed the bag😂
This is exactly why I love Marks content. Light hearted relatable humor with educational elements that make sense to everyone.
Mark: “Now here’s a little lesson of trickery” Also Mark: Never let them know your next move
Let them know your next move.
20:22 That subtle nod of respect, though.
As a person he used to be in a baseball team. I can say this is a trip down memory lane.
I'm so impressed with the pro players for making time, taking part, being sporting losers, and letting Mark win.
I loved seeing this guy’s childhood in contrast to his adulthood doing the same thing in the same environment so many years later. It’s nice to see the children of now keeping the activities alive
2:26 not the "ohhhh.." 😂😂😂
The fact the new home owners knew him is so cool. I hope they become engineers to continue the tradition.
That was planned I'm guessing. As in he called ahead and told them who he was and asked permission to visit and take a tour.
@@SirDistichow would he have their info to let them know he’s coming lol

That was so fun. Imagine doing this stuff to basketball 🤣
when you got hit buy the ball was hilarious i replay the scene 100 times
19:54 "which honestly felt like cheating" got me🤣
So cool to spot our spin shot in there! 🏓 Loved the video!

yeah i noticed too, he just had to include the best table tennis players
I spotted it too! Mark Rober-Pongfinity colab when?

15:51 bro was like wth is going on
What an absolutely brilliant analogy with the wrenches and air flow around the baseball! I am a mechanical engineer, and while I have an understanding of the Magnus Effect, this is such a clear visualization of WHY the air moves faster on one side of the ball. Thanks so much Mark!
The way Torpedo and the other players just destroy Mark's cheats is so baseball its amazing.
Maybe it's just Knorp is him
Why did the ending unironically make me tear up. Childhood innocence and bliss can so easily escape from you and treasuring it is a top priority because it will be the only chance you get to. Love you Mark!
Same! Well said...
This was very enjoyable to watch.
18:18 I love that song😂😂😂
21:52 the expression of disbelief. XD

this video is so related to an episode of Scoprion, a BBC television series, whether intentional or unintentional I do not know, still remains fun
As a non-American who never heard of Wiffle ball, this was still very entertaining to watch! Great video, thanks 😊
My farts are better than Mark's farts
I'm pretty sure most American's don't know about Wiffle ball. It's pretty cool though.
@@r3dp9 I'd dispute this statement. I think most Americans know what wiffle ball is. Its just a safe version of baseball that kids can play unsupervised.

why would you need to be american or know of wiffle ball to like the video?? seems like really unnecessary information that nobody needed to know
I love that they played along properly. It's fantastic
I want to see a sport where you can cheat like this, but you can also fight back against the cheats like the MLW players did
@@kevinconnors2430 "Welcome to everyone's favorite sport: cheatingball!"

8:51 I started to lean and I felt like I was going to fall 😂😂
Can’t wait for the follow up video, where Mark makes a bat that can never miss.
StuffMadeHere made one I think
If he uses both together it becomes a paradox and now my brain hurts
@@sarahhunter2855 Nono, you see. The bat will aim perfectly as if it was a normal ball and therefore the ball will miss.
That's called the ground.
@Mark Rober please
This man's KZhead videos always feel like storybooks. What an experience.
The way that street became a stadium for every sport, reminds me of my childhood, the days when there were no phones and electrical devices
this video reminded me of when i was in gym class and we were playing baseball but with a soccer ball and we'd kick the ball across the gym and run like 2 or three bases
Mark… I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos have always been so profoundly inspiring for me, but this one just really hit so close to home. The wholesomeness is next level; the return to your childhood home, the backyard version of America’s greatest pastime, and the strawberry on top- your reminder of simpler times with the “play until the streetlights came on” nostalgia. And above all else, you’ve rooted that same approach of keeping childhood passions alive, into sharing your passion for engineering with a whole new generation of creative minds (my son & daughter included). So yes, thank you Mark Rober, for helping us have a warm wholesome escape from a sometimes dark and overwhelming world.
I was bored, so I took what you wrote and made it longer (it might not make sense though, I was really tired.) Mark… I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything. Your videos have consistently served as a very significant source of motivation for me, but there's something about this particular one that really connected with me on a more personal level. Your nostalgia for "play until the streetlights came on" brings the idea of wholesomeness to an entirely new level when combined with your return to the house where you spent your childhood, your recreation of America's favorite pastime in the backyard, and the addition of a strawberry as the cherry on top. And above all else, you have rooted that same approach of keeping childhood passions alive into sharing your passion for engineering with an entirely new generation of creative minds, which includes both my son and my daughter. This is something that I really admire about you. Since Mark Rober made it possible for us to have a safe haven away from a world that can be harsh and overwhelming at times, we owe a debt of gratitude to him for doing so.

I was expecting the back plate to fall backwards. However, the pneumatic launch is definitely faster than a drop (and easier to conceal the mechanism for).
Mark is always going to act like a kid again just so he can bring back the memories he had as one. That makes me so happy.🙂🥰🥲
