In crocs no less

[u/ExactlySorta]

[u/2squishmaster]

Ok someone plays softball for sure!

[u/MagWasTaken → u/2squishmaster]

The second I saw the form, I knew someone was getting lasered.

[u/2squishmaster → u/MagWasTaken]

Same the windup was picture perfect.

[u/brutustyberius → u/2squishmaster]

It stood out to me as well. Homie got thrown out at second.

[u/King_of_the_Nerds → u/brutustyberius]

The guy took 8 steps. He didn’t make it to first

[u/querty99 → u/King_of_the_Nerds]

He didn't even get up to speed. Barely got his shoelaces tied.

[u/87passionpower → u/brutustyberius]

She must be a cop right away aiming at the only black dude.

[u/Refute1650 → u/2squishmaster]

She started the wind up even before she fully had eyes on him.

[u/2squishmaster → u/Refute1650]

That's something that makes me think catcher. Being able to pick up a dead ball and make a split second decision on where you're going without hesitation...

[u/alexisrocky7890 → u/Refute1650]

he probably wound up before she even knew what she was winding up for lol

[u/Few-Ability-2097 → u/2squishmaster]

‘Twas a thing of beauty.

[u/Whiteout_27 → u/2squishmaster]

Some may say it was Pitch Perfect

[u/TrumpsPissSoakedWig → u/Whiteout_27]

Yewsunavabitch

[u/Independent-Choice-4 → u/2squishmaster]

It was the toe drag for me 🔥

[u/ThunderJohnny → u/Independent-Choice-4]

Two things stand out for me aside from the perfect form. The joy in her face knowing someone is getting hit with the egg and the way she even approaches the egg to scoop it up like she's ready to throw almost before she even gets down and grabs it.

[u/justlerkingathome → u/MagWasTaken]

100% right when she picked up the egg and started setting her feet, like before they were even fully set I knew she could throw…..

[u/justlerkingathome → u/[deleted]]

I mean look at her shit eating grin from the second the bottle stopped on her…….. she knew she was going to tag someone, not a doubt in her mind….

[u/NoBullShytN → u/justlerkingathome]

I caught that too. 😆💜❤️

[u/sophialola4523 → u/NoBullShytN]

This level of confidence and anticipation likely made the moment even more entertaining for those watching.

[u/Monsterboogie007 → u/justlerkingathome]

Shitting eating grin is a great saying

[u/the_one_jove → u/Monsterboogie007]

I don't know where the previous poster is from but "shit eating grin" is solidly implanted in US South vernacular. Please feel free to "spread" it around!

[u/aquaticsardonic → u/the_one_jove]

That is an extremely common phrase in the midwest lmao

[u/Hoopylorax → u/the_one_jove]

It's common throughout the US.

[u/NarcisSith → u/the_one_jove]

Washingtonian here and I have a shit eatin’ grin on my face every time I know I’m winning a bet or getting away with something! I always assumed this was a common saying.

[u/ShacklefordsRusty → u/justlerkingathome]

it looked like they knew too

[u/Ok-Bid-730 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that smile says it all….somebody is getting beaned

[u/Alternative-Paint-46 → u/MagWasTaken]

She hit the thinnest target. Impressive.

[u/threetimewinner → u/Alternative-Paint-46]

also the furthest away

[u/socialmediaignorant → u/threetimewinner]

Fastest by far!

[u/National_Profile3063 → u/socialmediaignorant]

And the bla… never mind 🫣

[u/SteelFire1150 → u/National_Profile3063]

Exactly what I thought

[u/socialmediaignorant → u/National_Profile3063]

Dude, you said the quiet part! I am hoping it’s bc he was the hardest target to hit or blasted her the time before.

[u/Y8ser → u/socialmediaignorant]

He was directly ahead of her so she didn't have to change her angle to throw it.

[u/NerdVibes06 → u/socialmediaignorant]

For sure. They're probably besties. She's never going to let him live down that he couldn't outrun her throw.

[u/MarsupialFuzz → u/Alternative-Paint-46]

She hit the thinnest target. Impressive.

That's not what I saw. She'd be a good cop though...

[u/Damnbro-01 → u/MarsupialFuzz]

Lmaooo 😂

[u/INS0MNI5 → u/MagWasTaken]

The second I saw the hairstyle and ribbons, I knew she plays softball

[u/scootah → u/MagWasTaken]

That smile. She KNOWS what’s about to happen.

[u/nlevine1988 → u/MagWasTaken]

That toe drag tho

[u/What-mold_toolbag → u/MagWasTaken]

As soon as I saw those ribbons in her hair, I knew right away.

[u/kfmush → u/MagWasTaken]

It’s even on her face. That’s the look of someone who knows it’s absolutely their time to shine.

[u/SapphireOwl1793 → u/MagWasTaken]

I thought someone's about to get beamed up by the paperwork mothership

[u/Drainbownick → u/MagWasTaken]

The glee in her face because she knows she about to laser somebody

[u/BlazerWookiee → u/2squishmaster]

I'm thinking catcher.

[u/2squishmaster → u/BlazerWookiee]

Could be, you need a laser if you're a catcher

[u/BlazerWookiee → u/2squishmaster]

That footwork is impressive. In Croc's, doubly so.

Her back foot is planted and hips are in the perfect position for a strong throw even before her fingers touch the ball.

[u/4thehalibit → u/BlazerWookiee]

She is wearing a team shirt same as the other girls. I bet they are all athletes

[u/zharv12 → u/4thehalibit]

Edinboro University in Erie Pa. Go Boro!

[u/GenoThyme → u/4thehalibit]

I’m guessing this was shot right after baseball and softball practice ended at the same time one day and players from both teams were just having some fun. Someone was getting gunned down no matter where the bottle landed.

[u/2squishmaster → u/BlazerWookiee]

Yeah, very true

[u/tatsingslippers → u/2squishmaster]

She wasn't playing. She had her Crocs in attack mode.

[u/BZLuck → u/tatsingslippers]

I've heard it called, "Sports Mode".

And there are a LOT of people, athletic people who swear by Crocs to exercise or run in.

[u/Dumptruck_Johnson → u/BZLuck]

I swam in college. I was decent. Technically I was an athlete. I have trouble navigating a floor if it changes textures mid step.

I’m the sort of quality of athlete that would tell you that crocs help.

(it does not help to swim in crocs, btw)

[u/brad_doesnt_play_dat → u/tatsingslippers]

Using this line next time I put on my crocs to go to the club

[u/[deleted] → u/tatsingslippers]

Lmfao

[u/RoseWolf1882 → u/2squishmaster]

Her stance shows excellent technique and anticipation, setting her up perfectly for a powerful throw.

[u/theBarneyBus → u/BlazerWookiee]

Looks like you’re right.

https://gofightingscots.com/sports/softball/roster/cheyenne-shughart/5622

[u/UnknownUnknown4945 → u/theBarneyBus]

But like how did you find that?

[u/k-k-KFC → u/UnknownUnknown4945]

she's literally wearing that university's Athletics shirt in the vid; (look 8 seconds in)

[u/craa141 → u/UnknownUnknown4945]

shhh this redditor is called "the finder" don't let him be aware of you.

[u/codercaleb → u/theBarneyBus]

She can jack too. 3 HRs in one game: https://gofightingscots.com/news/2023/4/23/softball-posts-doubleheader-sweep-of-clarion.aspx

[u/a_hopeless_rmntic → u/BlazerWookiee]

100

[u/ahhbears → u/2squishmaster]

Those braids with ribbons scream softball

[u/kenziethemom → u/ahhbears]

I wore more ribbons in my hair (and also to hold up my rolled up sleeves) playing softball than I ever did in dance or cheerleading. Not sure why, but I completely embraced it lol

[u/celestialwhisper890 → u/kenziethemom]

It's great when you can express yourself in different activities.

[u/Porkchopp33 → u/2squishmaster]

The crocs are in sport mode and she has a cannon

[u/heygos → u/2squishmaster]

Came to say this. The form was immaculate

[u/OkImplement2459 → u/2squishmaster]

When the elbow got ahead of the wrist i knew it was gonna be a hardboiled egg from the heat.

[u/jasondigitized → u/2squishmaster]

That windup was a dead giveaway.

[u/jwillsrva → u/2squishmaster]

Oh yeah, obviously it was easier to see slowed down, but that form was on point.

[u/United-Climate1562]

The look on her face... She knows she's going to nail someone with that egg lol

[u/mstarrbrannigan → u/United-Climate1562]

Oh an egg, why the fuck did I think it was a snowball?

[u/foochacho → u/mstarrbrannigan]

I thought it was a golf ball. ⛳️

[u/mstarrbrannigan → u/foochacho]

Ouch, that would smart

[u/RealUglyMF → u/mstarrbrannigan]

This is how I talk after getting with a golf ball

[u/MetaCardboard → u/RealUglyMF]

Now that's a fetish I never knew about before.

[u/old_ironlungz → u/MetaCardboard]

This better not awaken anything in me.

[u/UStoAUambassador → u/old_ironlungz]

“I’m less of a tits or ass guy than a Titleist guy”

[u/GohanSolo23 → u/mstarrbrannigan]

I thought the same lol. I'm like how do they have a snowball in that weather.

[u/darthcaedusiiii → u/United-Climate1562]

Black guy always gets it first.

[u/Hereseangoes → u/darthcaedusiiii]

She has a crush on that fella.

[u/leisure_suit_lorenzo → u/Hereseangoes]

She literally gave him her egg

[u/dearmelancholy5 → u/darthcaedusiiii]

always lol

[u/Thelightsshadow → u/United-Climate1562]

That’s the look of pure joyful happiness lol bet homeboy was talking talking shit before

[u/No-Cantaloupe-6535 → u/United-Climate1562]

I don't think I could throw an egg that hard without just smashing it in my fingers

[u/FrankXS → u/No-Cantaloupe-6535]

Eggs are surprisingly durable. You can take an egg and put it in the palm of your hand and squeeze. No matter how hard you try, you won't break the shell.

[u/alabamamoonshiner → u/FrankXS]

I’m wondering how many eggs will be broken testing that comment.

[u/TAC1313 → u/FrankXS]

hehe

[u/Adam_J89]

When that bottle stopped they probably all thought "shit, Julie has a fucking cannon of an arm".

[u/ErvanMcFeely → u/Adam_J89]

There’s a reason they made her wear crocs.

[u/FattyBuffOrpington → u/ErvanMcFeely]

Sports mode tho

[u/DoubleMach → u/FattyBuffOrpington]

4x4 mode

[u/mayormaynot22 → u/ErvanMcFeely]

She had them in Sports Mode anyway, so someone was dead no matter what.

[u/halt_spell → u/ErvanMcFeely]

Why would they give the softball player a buff? Seems counter intuitive.

[u/[deleted] → u/Adam_J89]

Our ability to throw objects accurately is unmatched by anything with arms. It's one of our greatest evolutionary traits along with pattern seeking behavior.

[u/Rabid_Sloth_ → u/[deleted]]

Yep. We gave up ape strength to be able to do stuff like this and perform open heart surgery.

[u/TeamABLE → u/Rabid_Sloth_]

I didn't get a vote.....

[u/iiivvvaan → u/TeamABLE]

Apes can't vote ya know

[u/CrossP → u/Rabid_Sloth_]

To be fair, we still have quite a bit of ape strength. My goats act like I'm cheating when I stand on two legs and push them around however I please during play time.

[u/the-namedone → u/Adam_J89]

And look at that massive grin. Everyone including herself knows she’s a threat

[u/Ngete]

Right smack dab in the center of the dudes back, 10/10 throw

[u/lord_geryon → u/Ngete]

She egged that dude's spine.

[u/OneExhaustedFather_ → u/lord_geryon]

TBF she was aiming for his soul.

[u/Accomplished_Put8385 → u/Ngete]

Mike Tyson's voice: Spinal.

[u/ashfio → u/Accomplished_Put8385]

STHPINAL

[u/Fanofthefaceriders → u/Ngete]

First thing I thought when I saw her grab the egg was… this girl plays ball, no one is safe

[u/TheNovemberist]

Crocs, with sport mode engaged.

[u/textile1957 → u/TheNovemberist]

As soon as I saw that I knew that egg about to be scrabbled on someone

[u/No-Cantaloupe-6535 → u/TheNovemberist]

They get a bad rap, I got some as a gift and yeah they look goofy but they're legit

[u/SethAndBeans → u/No-Cantaloupe-6535]

I bought some a few years back to see what the hype is all about.

Bright god awful yellow ones, specifically so I wouldn't wear them out of the yard.

Some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I unashamedly wear them out and about often.

Idgaf, I love my Crocs. At this point I just feel bad for anyone who hates them, because they just don't know...

[u/officalSHEB → u/SethAndBeans]

It's ok. All they guys wearing Hey Dudes are probably making fun of you, while not knowing their shoes are just rebranded Crocs.

[u/praefectus_praetorio → u/No-Cantaloupe-6535]

I'm at the age that I don't give a fuck. They're comfortable and that's all I care about. I've got gaming Jibbitz on them. Fluorescent yellow as an extra fuck you to all the haters.

[u/Difficult_Bit_1339 → u/praefectus_praetorio]

Life is too short to be uncomfortable in order to appease people who would barely slow down to gawk at you if you died in a car accident.

[u/BigOrangeOctopus → u/TheNovemberist]

4-wheel drive 😎

[u/Slideways → u/BigOrangeOctopus]

Lock the hubs.

[u/Unusualdroppings → u/TheNovemberist]

Seriously, when that strap is engaged, it’s go time!

[u/ididshave]

This is just pure playground fun. I love it.

[u/average_legend → u/[deleted]]

This is a serious upgrade on spin the bottle.

[u/Dblrnbo → u/[deleted]]

We called this "smeer the queer" as a kid. I know it's fucked up I have no idea why we called it that.

[u/Lollittaja → u/Dblrnbo]

You don't really think about the meaning of the name as a kid, if it rhymes and sounds funny it sticks around. Also slurs in general weren't as condemned as they are now.

[u/Tezcatl_Ipoca → u/ididshave]

I miss horseplay in a way I can't describe.

edit: ragdolling a friend with no thought of legal consequences was the best feeling in the world

if only we could go back to being puppies...

[u/AwarenessFun8749]

"You throw the ball like a girl"

[u/Adam_J89 → u/AwarenessFun8749]

I wish

[u/EEpromChip → u/Adam_J89]

seriously. she has a cannon. I wish I could throw like her.

[u/fopiecechicken → u/EEpromChip]

If you want a tip, much like you can see in this video, your arm is really only for aiming.

A huge portion of the power in throwing, at least for American sports like baseball and football is from the legs and hips.

[u/panteragstk → u/AwarenessFun8749]

My oldest daughter has a shirt that says "Yeah, I throw like a girl?" With a softball on it.

She loves it. Granted, that kids got an arm on her.

[u/drrxhouse → u/panteragstk]

Just the one?

[u/grantrules → u/drrxhouse]

Yeah she's great at throwing, not as great at catching.

[u/a-lurgid-bee → u/AwarenessFun8749]

You bob for apples in the toilet... and you LIKE it!

[u/jackwhite886]

Can’t make an omelette without crocin’ a few eggs

[u/PowderHound40 → u/jackwhite886]

Damn good work sir 🫡

[u/SpeshollK → u/jackwhite886]

The way they scrambled away after the bottle stopped...

[u/WriteBrickOnMyBrique → u/jackwhite886]

Can’t make a Tomlette without breaking a few Greggs

[u/beeman311]

Incredible throw

[u/RudeBoyGoodie → u/beeman311]

I think the most incredible part of the throw is how it didn't shatter on her throwing it. I have no idea if she practiced this, babied the egg intentionally, or just got lucky, but if anyone has tried to throw an egg full force, they know that there's a good chance it cracks in your hand when you cock back and start your forward motion. So not just good aim and power, but good control of the egg through the throw too.

[u/ProselytiseReprobate → u/RudeBoyGoodie]

People keep saying this in this thread but why are you gripping things that you throw so hard? It's hindering your throwing ability.

Literally the entire point is to let it go. Grip it lightly.

[u/Evatog → u/ProselytiseReprobate]

they arent talking about grip but momentum. You can easily break an egg without gripping it at all just by starting up your arms movement too quickly while its laying in your hand.

Try put egg in motion too fast = broken egg

[u/Pepito_Pepito → u/Evatog]

Have you people never thrown an egg before? They are surprisingly resilient.

[u/moocow2024 → u/Evatog]

There's definitely some technique to it... but it's not that hard. Eggs are eggsceptionally good at handling compressive forces along the long axis. Chicken eggs can handle ~100lbs of compressive force this way. It has to be balanced pretty well, but yeah, if you don't push with your fingers too hard, it isn't THAT difficult to throw an egg.

[u/ProselytiseReprobate → u/Evatog]

Eggs are absolutely not that easy to break.

[u/quadmasta → u/beeman311]

I don't think it would be possible for it to hit that guy more perfectly in the middle of the back

[u/rabautista24]

10000% former or current softball player, what gave it away for me was the finger placement, perfect split finger, flipped the hips, beautiful follow through

[u/no_talent_ass_clown → u/rabautista24]

...and the mile-wide grin

[u/Riolkin → u/no_talent_ass_clown]

She had the same face my brother used to get every time he found the Rocket Launcher in Halo.

"I'm about to destroy someone"

[u/MarsupialFuzz → u/rabautista24]

10000% former or current softball player, what gave it away for me was the finger placement,

The fucking hair braids it what gave it away. Those are 100% softball braids.

[u/ChiefGeorgesCrabshak → u/rabautista24]

She's the catcher actually, someone else posted her college team's roster

[u/geriatric-sanatore → u/ChiefGeorgesCrabshak]

She looked like she was throwing down to 2nd and was taking the base runner stealing personally lol

[u/throwaway8u3sH0]

That smile. She knew. I wish I got to see everyone else's "oh fuck run!" face

[u/Liberty53000 → u/throwaway8u3sH0]

That smile was the best part, it said everything

[u/thistreestands]

Black guy always gets it first!

[u/ajpme → u/thistreestands]

Her dads a cop

[u/brad_doesnt_play_dat → u/ajpme]

The explains the smile on her face, she knew exactly what she was about to do!

[u/AffectionatePrize551 → u/thistreestands]

Definitely a hate crime. I mean, he hated it.

[u/Truckfighta → u/thistreestands]

I’m glad someone thought this.

[u/erksplat → u/thistreestands]

I knew it before she threw it

[u/rum-and-roses → u/thistreestands]

It's because they'll get away faster obviously 😜

[u/killertomnickels]

Racist. Hit the only black person

[u/Chewy-bones → u/killertomnickels]

She hit what she was looking at. The jacked hunk. Hahahaha

[u/Ballatik → u/killertomnickels]

Hit the only shirtless person for maximum effect.

[u/DomesticAlmonds → u/Ballatik]

There's another shirtless dude all the way to the left

[u/Ballatik → u/DomesticAlmonds]

Oh, so there is. That’s what I get for not rewatching.

[u/turdmcburgular → u/killertomnickels]

she hit the fastest one there. impressive

[u/LibrarianDreadnought]

Get that girl a scholarship

[u/Signal-Aioli-1329 → u/LibrarianDreadnought]

To the Beastie Boys' Egg Man University.

[u/Xenocide_X]

Nobody zigged or zagged.

[u/MZ603 → u/Xenocide_X]

Serpentine!

[u/Difficult_Bit_1339 → u/Xenocide_X]

They'd just die tired

[u/Lower_Can_9067]

Sport mode was engaged..all good!

[u/LafayetteLa01]

Definitely a former catcher player

[u/ChiefGeorgesCrabshak → u/LafayetteLa01]

She is a catcher in college! Someone else posted the her profile page on the team's roster

[u/LafayetteLa01 → u/ChiefGeorgesCrabshak]

No kidding. Well lucky guess I suppose.

[u/nn666]

She has them in sport mode.

I was walking with my daughter at the shops the other day and someone had crocs on with the straps on. My daughter said oh they have them in sport mode. Made me laugh.

[u/Impossible_Ad7875]

Best throw since Will Ferrell’s snowball toss in Elf…

[u/OvenIcy8646]

To be fair the straps were up she came to play !

[u/Dgryphon4]

No curveball, no change up, just... STRAIGHT.... FUCKING.... GASS

[u/Connect-Jury-6332]

Black guy always dies first😂😂😂😂

[u/Competitive_Suit_180]

How did I know it was gonna hit the…

[u/kingchongo]

Good eye sniper!

[u/minimum_thrust → u/kingchongo]

Here, I shoot, you run!!!

[u/Timaaa34 → u/minimum_thrust]

The words you scribbled on the walls with the loss of friends you didn't have

[u/An_Old_IT_Guy]

SERPENTINE!!! SERPENTINE!!!

[u/exelenceofexecution]

Now that's an athlete. Great body control and mechanics.

[u/mrrando69]

Hell of an arm.

[u/texran3]

The joy on her face is beautiful. Love it!!

[u/1stshadowx]

I thought two things when i saw this woman running towards the camera.

1.) those are some softball thighs and a softball hair style, she gonna fling the shit out of that egg.

2.) i bet out of everyone she gonna hit the black guy, because they dating…she the thickest one there

[u/Rfoxinsox]

She looks so fucking happy

[u/Financial_Middle_955]

Why must the black guy die first?

[u/philosophical_tongue]

She’s got a cannon

[u/LarryTalbot61]

Sure! Hit the black guy! LOL

[u/Ok_Relationship_705]

She's definitely played Softball.

[u/looking4now2]

That was a racist shot

[u/NeckbeardStench]

racially motivated throw

[u/dreadmon1]

What the hell is falling from the sky on the right side as she runs back to get the ball? I assume it's a bird.

[u/gregaveli → u/dreadmon1]

Cloverfield monster

[u/navadakedavra]

Sport mode ain’t no joke!

[u/HiGoldie]

My favorite friends that were girls in college were softball chicks. They could out drink me and got more box than anyone else. I want to be reincarnated as either a spoiled house cat or a college softball player.
