Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt decided to take batting practice at Minute Maid Park because no one is actually crazy enough to try and deny J.J. Watt from doing whatever he wants in anything sport-related.
MLB.com’s Astros reporter Chandler Rome was on hand to document Watt’s exploits, which reportedly included seven balls launched into the Crawford Boxes and this AMAZING line from Watt:
“I like hitting people better.”

Watt also met up with the Astros’ Carlos Correa and the Angels’ Mike Trout.

Amusingly, Watt’s star-power is so great that Mike Trout was
“shell shocked” to meet Watt.
I know when people are shell shocked. Mike Trout was shell shocked to meet JJ Watt. Watt was great, asked Trout to throw BP for a picture

It’s OK, Mike. Being shell-shocked is a natural response to meeting a deity.
