I just spent about 10 minutes watching it over and over again. Are those just fierce dance moves or is it a complex personal bio related in dance? If bio, at one point in his life he seemes to have had the chickenpox.
I think it is biographic.

"One of the things he says is that he never feels pain," Anderson said. "I told him, 'We're going to make you feel pain.' And he was in pain, but he was still smiling the whole time. You don't usually see someone smile more the more painful it becomes, but that's his personality."

I guess Korea doesn't allow females in the men's locker rooms!:D

Is there anything about the U.S. that surprised him so far?

"Not so much until today," Kim said. "The media and the press were in the locker room, and there were females, too. And there was still changing (clothes) without worrying or anything. It was a newly culture shock."

O'Day on mentoring Bundy and what to expect if he makes the squad....

"If healthy, Bundy — who is out of Minor League options— is projected to head north with the team, which means the rookie will likely be the designated guy carrying all the relief corps snacks out to the bullpen.

“He’ll look great. I was in the airport the other day and they had some really nice Hello Kitty bags,” O’Day said. “So if Bundy, is the guy with the bags, we might have to make it more pink.”

    • I think he's claimed and right away.
    • His Dad is a big boy and obvious lifter.  Some guys are naturally good squatters.  That’s an impressive number for Holliday, but who knows exactly how legit the actual squat is.  You can find high school kids at nearly every high school about his size with similar squat numbers.  Granted, they will be some of the strongest pound for pound kids, but it’s not a crazy number. 
    • Fair point, but these outliers are squatting like 40% more than Holliday is.  There are likely plenty of guys in the NCAA that can hit Holliday's numbers, and are in his age range.   There were like 50+ guys at this year's combine with a 10 yard split of 1.5 or better or 40 times of 4.5 or better, and 1rm squat correlates with both 10 yard split and 40 time, such that if you hit those numbers in 10 or 40, then your mean 1rm squat would be predicted to be about 2.5x body weight, which would be right around 500 lbs for a 200 lb guy.  If you want to call NFL caliber college guys outliers, I guess?  But Holliday is an MLB caliber guy, so he still fits.   Elite athletes just aren't normal, man.
    • The fact that they put this on the 1991 Donruss, perhaps the ultimate peak of the junk wax era, makes this even funnier to me.  If toilet paper ever shot up in price I wouldn't care because I've got heaps of '91 Donruss floating around. This is very true, which makes me thinks he'll get claimed somewhere else.
    • It's like the ghost of Chris Davis found him and has taken over his body.   I know bat speed isn't everything, but with the bat speed info that dropped, I took a look.  His average is 70.9 which isn't terribly slow, it's actually pretty average.   For whatever reason, he just can't square anything up.  I hope he fixes it but it's really tough to watch right now.
    • Just a few years ago this was the type of guy we would of claimed.  
    • I believe that the bad umpiring in the major leagues is one of the reason s why the jump from AAA to the majors gap seems larger than ever.
