OT: How much calories can you burn playing baseball?

[apalisoc_9]

I've been trying to figure out the number but so far I've only came out with estimates..

Chewing Gum - 2 calories
standing just waiting for the ball = 10 calories
seating on the bench making gum ballons = 8 calories
an average 4 baseball throws per game = 45 calories
spitting = 10 calories..

In total about 90 or so in a 3 hour game. Am I accurate?

[midnightpulp]

n a standard nine-inning game, a pitcher will burn about 1,440 calories, according to Eugene Coleman’s book “52-Week Baseball Training.” In comparison to other players on the field, the pitcher expends the most energy during the course of a game. While a catcher will burn up 1,100 calories, a fielder will expend 1,000 calories.

Baseball kills you on the wear and tear, though.

Take it from someone who grew up playing basketball, football, and baseball. Throwing a baseball full speed 70-80 times over a game is A LOT more demanding than playing 4 or 5 hours of basketball, something I used to do every afternoon for 5 years straight.

You can't even lift your arm up the next day. Don't know why you guys think stamina is some amazing athletic trait. It ain't , which is why all the unathletic kids ran cross country.

MLB pitchers dont average 9 innigns a game bro. Stop kidding yourself.

Plus I jack off and lose 1000 calories too..Hands get sore doesnt mean masturbating is a real sport.

It's just the one thing that allows you to display all your other athletic feats and skills at full potential. But sure, no biggie.

Guess you never pitched? Or caught a game? Or played outfield and chased down a few balls on a 95 degree day? Had to run 1st to third? Steel a base? Dive for a liner in the infield?

Wouldn't expect much more from an ignorant putz such as yourself.

Easy there bro..Your doctor told you to calm down or else you're going to get another Stroke.

I like that you're trying to be active and playing beisbol and all, but you're never going to burn and melt those fats around your heart by spitting, chewing gum, and catching balls. Need to do something more cardio intensive.

What I meant is that stamina/cardio is easy to train up. 90 year old people run marathons every year. 300lb fat asses can go from obese to running 5 miles everyday in no time (I have a female 45 year old cousin who went from like 300lb to doing triathlons seemingly every month over a couple of years). There's nothing impressive about "running around."

Usain Bolt probably has stamina (too much cardio training would be detrimental for a sprinter, killing explosiveness). So he's less of an athlete now? And what's more impressive: Him breaking 9.60 or Mo Farah jogging around a track?

Basketball and soccer have about the same calorie burn rate:

According to Harvard Health Publications, people who weigh 155 and 185 pounds burn about 260 and 311 calories, respectively, during 30 minutes of playing soccer.

The more you weigh, the more calories you'll burn doing the same exercise. For example, as previously mentioned, a 150-pound individual burns about 272 calories playing a 30-minute game of basketball. Doing the same exercise, someone weighing 100 pounds burns 181 calories and someone weighing 200 pounds burns 363 calories.

Soccer wouldn't be some foreign territory of endurance for an American baseball player. Mike Trout, Giancarlo Stanton, Corey Seager, Clayton Kershaw for instance all played basketball growing up and in high school.

I wonder how many more calories you burn chewing tobacco than gum? Forces you to spit like twice as much as normal fatbal players.

What about smoking a cig, how many are burned there?



any "sport" where you can smoke during games and still win league MVP and "batting" champion

[Relevancy]

I can respect baseball players who seem athletic but there's just too many with bellys imo.. Baseball has to be the least physical demanding sport out there next to golf

Why shouldn't they smoke?

It's not like lightly jogging for 5 miles over 90 minutes is demanding.

You would be gasping for air 2 minutes into a soccer match. If you play it like you are suppossed to play it, of course.

And no, 2 minutes isn't an exaggeration.
