Six-year-old ‘Coach Drake’ has become an internet sensation thanks to his antics on the baseball field during games.
The youngster ‘coaches’ the Kalamazoo Growlers in Michigan, which is a summer baseball team for college athletes. His uniform even reads ‘Coach’ on the back, and his number is 5, which is likely how old he is.
During a game on Tuesday, he threw a tantrum after an ejection, and a video taken of his behavior was posted on the Growler’s Twitter account.

In the video, Coach Drake angrily walked up to the umpire, and presumably not getting the response he wanted, kicked dirt on the umpire’s shoes, causing him to be ejected.
He then put his finger in the umpire’s face before heading back to the dugout. But he was not done just yet.
He proceeded to throw not one or two, but four baseball bats onto the field. The outburst continued as he brought a bucket of balls onto the field and poured them on to the diamond.

Afterwards, he spiked his hat on the home field, which the commentators called the ‘ultimate sign of disrespect.’ This must be why, according to them, he holds the Northwoods League record for ejections.
Coach Drake first went viral last week, after making a mound visit with the Growlers.
He was in a much better mood that time around though. After giving the baseball players a pep talk, he waved his hat to the audience, and they proceeded to cheer him on.
And while he is only a young boy, he acts a lot older than his age, and the Kalamazoo Growlers proved it by making him a part of the Age Challenge, which they shared on their Facebook page.
