Harry Brook Trades Bazball for Baseball, Joining MLB Spring Training

Harry Brook is known best for his time as a cricketer, making 809 runs and four hundreds in his first four Tests.

But now, he’s leaving “bazball” behind for baseball, joining MLB spring training in Florida.

Brook is training with the Cardinals. And with fast bowler Issy Wong, the pair has signed a deal that sees them both becoming MLB ambassadors in Europe.

Brook said per an MBL press release, “I’m really excited for this partnership and can’t wait to try my hand at hitting some home runs. I’m intrigued to see how different it is to cricket and what similarities there are too – will a home run feel as good as hitting a six? I’m also excited to learn from how other professional sportspeople go about their game and see if there are any transferable skills between batting in baseball and cricket. It’s going to be amazing to see baseball first hand in the US and help spread the word back int he UK and hopefully help build baseball’s fan base here.”
