Max Kepler Hilariously Struggles to Explain Baseball to a German

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler took an unusual path to the MLB, having played baseball at the highest level in Germany for the Buchbinder Legionare Regensburg before making the jump to the USA.

Baseball isn't exactly big in Germany, so Kepler often has to explain the game in the most basic way possible, as he did in this German interview.

Baseball fans may take the complexity of the sport for granted, but it's really eye-opening to hear an attempt to explain it to someone with absolutely no prior knowledge. Kepler's explanation really highlights how intricate the game is.

Even from the very basics, like trying to explain "outs" or even how the bases and scoring runs works.

International stars like Kepler are a great way to expand the game to an increasingly global audience though. His description of the beauty of hitting a home run is sure to sound good in any language.
