Who is the best softball player you have ever seen play?
Actually I have two:

Pitcher: Ian Castle of Castle Sports/ADL. This guy is a pure warrior on the mound. Approachable for advice and plays hard till the last out. 

Centerfielder: Brian "Gimmiedat" Zirkle of Team Combat: Hes a lefty that plays the sport the way it should be played. Has led the conference in 3B's several times, and is approachable for advice. All conference in 2016.

Is there a player that you would compare your game to?
I haven't achieved anything in the softball world yet so unfortunately not.  

What would you say is your career highlight to this point? Maybe one play or game that sticks out to you in particular?

  13. Thanks Brett, The Team Easton Family, and everyone overall for your continued support. I won’t let you down.

  14. Wolf#13 says:

    He said he’s from my hometown !? Derrty are you serious?

    • stick to league ball in Bellfountaine Park says:

      U are an embarassment to softball in St.Louis. You have never hit the ball in a rec game in BASA. You were a DR and a terrible one at that. You can’t even run the bases straight. You got cut from Club 51 as a DR, now you think you the most up and coming player out of St. Louis?? CHILD PLEASE. You are a Sunday League sub player at best. Stop the the lies!

      • ur right…the truth is no matter what i do people like urself find me very exiting. Theres a thin line between love and hate…and personally when i can careless about something…i dont spend all my freetime following them like twitter.

    • Real STL ballplayer says:

      Wolf the dude is a bum.

    • yup…stl…Goodfellow & W. Florissant. Thanks for the encouraging words…did junior give u my number?

    • yup…stl…Goodfellow & W. Florissant. Thanks for the encouraging word but did junior give u my number?

  15. Cal Ford says:

    Man pick this guy up! Guaranteed bombs, I like the ball that went throw the 6 hole that ball was hit… Good luck hope to see you hitting some GDB!!

  16. Wallace says:

    That’s 15 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. DW, you must be really bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. speaking for everyone says:

    please stop!!! stick to rec ball. be real with yourself and think can you actually …no you cant. save yourself the embarrassment and refrain from posting any videos

  18. Nanner says:

    This has to be a joke. There is no way I would let a friend of mine embarrassed them selves like that, no one proof read or watched his videos before publishing

  19. nick aka bubba says:

    What a f’in joke that dude is rambo my ass and a track runner he was winded going to measure his so called bombs from what I seen that dude could be eastons bat boy maybe damn I jeeded a good laugh today I got money my 20 yr old nephew will out hit that clown full uniform for bp mas puto lol

  20. Jeff Hall says:

    I think you should stop posting videos of bp until you can take better one. Ive had 50+ ft rolls on a hit easily. It’s where the ball drops not where it stops rolling. Don’t talk so damn much. I know C and D players that talk less hitting 500 footers. Doesnt mean they can play upper ball. Come play USSSA in Florida or Texas in Houston and you will be laughed out the park by their average talent. You have a joke for a stance and swing and if you DH you can’t play any defense. Not much room for anyone like that on a team. Upper teams anyone can blow it out. You play wall ball and defensive skill wins the games. I saw a 5’3” 125 lb hispanic guy from San Antonio hit a 500+ft bomb in league city Space City Classis at Houston and he didnt talk .000001% as much as you did. With today’s bats, bat shaving/rolling, and restiched ball people are hitting 600+ft bombs. BOMBS GET WASTED IN GAMES. If theres a limit with 11+ on the batting order you take the bat out of the hands of your own team mate when you hit solos. If you want to play major ball get a better stance. Take the game seriously. Shut your damn mouth and play. Practice defense. learn to place the ball. HIT IT WHERE ITS PITCHED and WHERE YOU WANT WITH CONTROL. This is all a waste of peoples time. Not only am I not impressed, if Resmondo/tank/worth ever plays your team and you are pitched the middle will have the green light and we will see how much talking you do then. This is the reason people take softball like a joke. People that talk and think they are great when they are E players in cities like houston.

  21. Thanks for everyones feedback!! I will definitely look to upload more videos in the near future. I appreciate the good and even the bad comments. I would like to see more video responses of you guys hitting though vs the long rants of opinions. And definitely be sure to like, share, and subscribe to my Youtube Channel.

  22. Really says:

    this is so sad…10 feet roll? you guys are silly…I hate to pile on, but your replies are so ignorant I can’t help it…even with the rocket launcher balls, you must realize your balls are rolling anywhere from 30-80 feet…go measure the roll with your camera from out over the fence silly boys…plus the eight pop outs, double play ground outs, it’s all very commical. Go hit on an airport runway, you might hit one over 1000ft…eye roll.

  23. Real STL ballplayer says:

    He’s horrible and didn’t get an at bat on the circuit and now he’s trying to play major. You’d be wasting your time picking him up. He was a runner for Club 51 and he couldn’t do that right. Before y all think about recruiting him ask around St.Louis about this guy and everyone you ask will tell you the same thing…….HE’S A BUM

  24. ri softball says:

    Thus guy is the most delusional softball ball player in the world your swing is terrible

  25. Talent Scout says:

    There’s only one St Louis Softball Player worthy of posting hitting videos, and he doesn’t need to ask to be picked up on some softball forum….. Rambo, your a few years too late and at least 100′ short of true piss rocket power

    If I were you I would look him up and offer to carry his bat bag or something and BRING A CASE OF BUSCH, trust me on this

    http://vimeo.com/9310057

  26. Your a damn joke bro…ive seen you before and you suck …club 51 had you running bases at the bsc because you couldn’t hit during bp. Stop wasting peoples time and work on your game. If you can play in the BSC than you definetly dont have the skills to play c or d ball. Rambo your a damn joke and trustvme i know, i saw it myself.

    • Thanks for your comment Jake. You must be a millionaire because I watch alot of softball and I couldn’t tell u the name of not a single DR that comes in only twice to run some bases. You must have really been clocking me. Don’t know if I should be flattered or should I be CONCERNED. I agree I wasn’t a consistent hitter in March 2013. As you can see my videos are posted in October 2013. I purposely didn’t play any tournament ball for 7 months because I wanted to return a superstar. I did’t ask you to come to MY page. I definitely didnt ask YOU to run your mouth and comment anything. I really don’t even care what you have to say. So who’s wasting WHO’S time?? Like, Share, Subscribe.

  27. Your a joke bro…u need to shut up and be a humble player…you suck thats the bottim line and the next time your at a circuit tourney come watch Primetime play and ill show you how to hit the damn ball. Ill give u free lessons because everyone that commented on your 2 dollar videos knows that you need help. Dont run your mouth on here because i know how u play and you suck horribly bro.

  28. Kyle says:

    Is all I can say is wow! I’m just a C/D player in Texas who has never thought about making a profile on here but if u get picked up I’ve definitly got a shot! Lol

  29. ATL.... says:

    Hey nice Carp…..

  30. This was definitely funny. Sounds like Helmer’s got your back! 😉

  31. Just trying to help says:

    Like others before I’m not trying to add more to pile on but Walter I see your video’s and read your comments on facebook and TBH part of me wants to think you’re just kidding and being a goof but the other half of me thinks you’re being completely serious in which case no one likes to play ball with an egocentric mouth peace.

    The best way to show people your talent or lack there of is to keep your mouth shut, stop bat flipping after every home run/howling like a wolf, and learn to be a bit more humble on the field. Watch other players and how they handle their business and have fun with it. Understand that even though it’s competitive ball most players out there are out there to have a good time with friends and win. 95% of the softball players out there pay to play, The other 5% play so high (B and higher) that they typically don’t have to pay but the best thing I like about playing against upper teams is that I know for a fact that I won’t hear a bunch a yapping at us from their dugout or any of the non-sense on your video’s or in person.

    It’s people like you that drive younger generations away from playing this game. If you want to be a good player, go back and read the Jeff Hall response above this one because it’s spot on. Just my advice.

  32. Not hating says:

    But whats up with the bat flip??? If you were THAT good you would realize that something you can do regularly shouldnt be all that big of a deal. Its slow pitch softball, they throw it underhanded, the fences are no more than 325ft (most of the time). Act like you have been there and done it before and people may take you more seriously.

    The bat flip is bush league and makes you look like a Co-Ed Rec Industrial League wanna be all-star. It is really really lame. Hit the bomb and walk back to the dugout like you knew what you were doing and celebrate with your teammates. You dont have try and be over the top like that.

    Keep working hard!

  33. STL Softball says:

    This clown has played with at least 5 different teams this year. That should tell you something right there

    Played with United/Miken for D state and they are from Southern Missouri if I’m not mistaken

    Dude is a show off and acts like he is an upper player….and he should be playing E if not Rec league

    Thinks he is way better than he really is as a softball player…..You will be disappointed if you are expecting an upper player that’s for sure

    And lets not even talk about his cannon of an arm from left field too lol

  34. Tre Campbell says:

    Probably the funniest posts that I have read on here. Lol. All honesty bro, you’re going to have to tone it down a little on the talk before anyone picks you up. With you talking alone you have pushed most of the chances that you’ve had away. Conference teams don’t do a lot of talking. I’ve learned the hard way. But if this is something you want. Let these people keep talking and you just keep on working.

  35. Running Man says:

    Rambo,

    What college did you play football and break records in track at?
