Pulling a hammy running to first is for 40 year olds in slow pitch dafuq

There's a big difference between being an old and pulling a hamstring and pulling it because you're an explosive 18-19 year old athlete

Injury update? I noticed he didn’t play at all against aggy.

He was running all over place in front of dugout, leading cheers etc. Willing to bet was just precautionary as Schloss knew Texas would sweep aggy and let Jonah get some rest for pig.

How many two sport athletes ever chose baseball as their sport rather than football?  Name me some because I can't really think of any high profile potential football players that opted for baseball.  I may just be talking out of my ass but seems like football appeals more to the young ego driven athlete.  I get that baseball is safer long term, but the immediate sex appeal of playing a high profile role on Saturdays and Sundays trumps the longer road to make it in baseball.  You really can't know which sport is more lucrative, because you can only choose one, and go down that path.  Bo Jackson notwithstanding.

 Wiki - 

Adam Troy Dunn  (New Caney, Tx)

born November 9, 1979, nicknamed "Big Donkey", is an American former professional baseball left fielder and first baseman. He played 14 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB), primarily for the Cincinnati Reds. A two-time MLB All-Star, Dunn was known for his prodigious power and his high propensity to strike out. He hit 38 or more home runs in seven straight seasons, tied with Babe Ruth for the second-longest such streak in MLB history, and was 11th all-time in at bats per home run at the time of his retirement. In addition, in 2004, he hit the fourth-longest home run in MLB history, a 535-foot blast that landed in a different state. However, he ranks third on the all-time strikeout list, with 2,379, and still holds the American League record for most strikeouts in a single season, with 222 in 2012.

Dunn's statistical profile was highly unusual for its day; he walked, struck out, or homered in nearly half his career plate appearances. Consistent with the principles of the then-emerging sabermetric movement [Money Ball], Dunn helped prove that a batter could significantly contribute to his team despite an unimpressive batting average. Today, he is considered one of the better hitters of his era. However, his defense was panned by both traditional scouting methods and modern defensive metrics. Jayson Stark called Dunn "the most unique baseball player who ever lived."


Football Career

A standout football quarterback, Dunn went 24-9 as three seasons as a starter in high school and won the district championship in his senior season.

Dunn was recruited by Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Texas A&M,[3] but committed to the Texas Longhorns football team as part of Mack Brown's first recruiting class. He struck an agreement with the Cincinnati Reds which allowed him to play for the Longhorns during the college football season.

However, Dunn never played a snap in a competitive game. He redshirted his freshman season. Although he started the season as the No. 3 quarterback, he found himself backing up Major Applewhite after Richard Walton was injured. With Applewhite entrenched in the starting role for the foreseeable future and star recruit Chris Simms arriving on campus, Dunn was asked to move to the tight end position in spring 1999. He briefly practiced as a tight end, but ultimately left the Longhorns to concentrate on baseball. He called it "probably the hardest decision I'd ever had to make."
