Pokémon Lookalike MLB Stars Roasted in Hilarious & Scarily Accurate Twitter Thread

in LifestyleWords By Fabian Gorsler

Twitter user Shanna Shi has gifted us with the comparison of MLB stars and Pokémon that no one asked for but everyone needs in their life.

The side-by-side of Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Russell Martin and Igglybuff might be a bit of a stretch, but others are scarily and hilariously on point. Toronto Blue Jay Devon Travis’ ginger-tinged mane is clearly inspired by Ponyta, the fire-beards of Sean Doolittle and Justin Turner shout out Arcanine and Pyroar respectively, while Milwaukee Brewer Ben Gamel’s luscious locks would make any Piloswine proud.

Check out a selection of the best Major League Pokémon below and head to Shi's Twitter page to view the full collection.
