Batting with Eddie Hall & Chase Utley | MLB Bases Covered: Episode 1

Bases Covered is a brand new series from MLB, geared to educate and excite sports fans about baseball in time for the new season. Sports journalist and Boston Red Sox fan Max Whittle has teamed up with Hashtag United player and influencer Jemel One Five to build a baseball team, made up of celebrity influencers, without leaving their houses. They'll be calling in favours from the US, with regular appearances from current and former MLB superstars giving the team some much-needed advice in the lead-up to the series finale - getting the team together for an actual game. Who do you think deserves the next spot on our team? Comment below and let us know!

Episode one focuses on arguably the most exciting part of the game for newcomers and existing fans - batting. Six-time All-Star, Chase Utley (Phillies & Dodgers) helps the boys with their swing before they announce their seriously big first signing. With the strength to clear the back fence with just a flick of the wrists, and the presence to psyche out any opposition player who comes near him, Max and Jemel are delighted to sign former World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall as their first recruit! And don't forget, there's plenty of other spots to fill in the field. Join us for Episode two next week as we learn all about weird and wonderful American ballpark foods and find our next teammate with the help of some all-star guests!
