Orioles' Top Prospect, Yusniel Diaz, Is Very Good At Baseball But Terrible At Gender Reveals

Orioles top prospect, Yusniel Diaz can rake, I mean absolutely murder baseballs. We saw it at the All Star Game when he homered twice in the Futures Game. But the video above has me feeling terrible about his bat. This is a terrible look for the main piece of the Manny Machado trade. MLB Pipeline lists him as the 64th best prospect heading into the season, but I may drop him off the top 100 list for this showing.
Just a terrible omen all around. Yusniel Diaz threw up this gender reveal on his Instagram last night and it's got me feeling terrible about the Orioles future. We see a nice, high pitch to Diaz, a guy known for his bat, and my nightmare happens. Diaz swings out of his shoes and completely misses the ball filled with chalk.
And in case you are wondering what the message on the video said, I used my 3 years of high school Spanish and translated it ( I looked it up on Google), " Swing to the air but good sporting was given. Thank god for this blessing ninaaaaaaaa. Thank you all for your support and presence."
The ball doesn't break when it hits the ground either, so he picks the ball up and does his best Gronk impression and tries to throw that thing to the center of the earth. But this is the guy the Orioles traded Manny for? Sheesh. Bad look doing a gender reveal in the first place, even WORSE when you're a top prospect and you miss by a foot. Orioles' manager said this week at FanFest that Diaz was impressive when he saw him down in Florida a few weeks back, he may want to re-think those thoughts after seeing this latest performance.
Clean it up, Yusniel, but congrats on the sex.
