Have you ever seen T-ball players mic’d up? Well, it’s just as adorable as you’d expect.

Two tee ball teams from Watkinsville, Georgia, instantly became social media sensations for their cute and genuine banter after mics picked up their little voices on the field.

“How can you hit like that?” one player asked another in a video shared by The Yard Training, a new league in the Watkinsville area.

“’Cause I’m four,” the player responded. “I’m four, too!” said the player who asked the question.

Another player explained what a home run is.

“And it like goes all the first, you like run all the bases until you get to home. That’s what happens when you get a home run,” he said.

One player was even heard trying to hype himself up, “I have to run, and I will catch it!”

The Yard Training Executive Director, Phil Roberts, spoke with with TODAY about the new league.

“This fall, we started a six on six Indoor T-Ball League. By having a smaller number of players on each team, players see more action, get more training and have more fun,” Roberts explained.

Marketing Director Janie Henderson came up with the idea of having the players mic’d up.

“Since they [the kids] really don’t have any history of being ‘mic’d up,’ their responses and interactions were perfectly genuine,” Roberts said.

The goal of The Yard is to build a “sports community.”

“It is our hope to provide a positive environment of training for baseball and softball, to help people reach their goals, and play the game they love,” Roberts explained.

The Yard is a “30,000 square-foot baseball and softball training facility with the overall goal of providing high quality instruction for athletes of all ages,” the website reads.

The facility has a team that “consists of versatile, coachable, qualified, and energetic coaches and instructors. Our goal is to create a team environment with our core values.”

Roberts explained that the World Series inspired The Yard’s creation.

“In working with young athletes, we want them to emulate players like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts,” he said. “My overall preference is for both teams to play the game the right way so that we can show young athletes the benefits of competing at a high level with respect and effort. To this point, we haven’t been disappointed.”

Social media users also weren’t disappointed by the adorable mic’d up video full of short attention spans, big laughs and a whole lot of cuteness.
