A Minor League Pitcher Got Robbed At Gun Point Of His Car, Phone, Wallet and McDonalds Breakfast. Cops Show Up And He Proceeds To Ask Them For A Ride So He Can Go Throw His Bullpen Session

Talk about an all-time commitment to the game, you won't find a person more committed to his craft than Dylan Cumming. A minor league pitcher for the Giants, Cumming was presumably on his way to a workout at Tread Athletics, sounds like he had just stopped for a delicious breakfast at McDonald's, probably some hot cakes and sausage, 2 extra hash browns, a McGriddle and a large OJ. Somehow he gets robbed at gunpoint of everything, delicious breakfast, wallet, phone, and car. They just took it all. Cops end up coming and he files a report, tells them all he knows and since he doesn't have a car at the moment because Dirty Mike and the boys took it, the cops asked him if he needed a ride anywhere. He said he needed a ride to go throw, he had a bullpen slot at Tread. Guy had to train.

Didn't seem to bother him that some guy just took off with all of his valuables and car, he just wanted to go throw with the boys. It's gains season baby, gotta get them in however and whenever you can. I was also robbed and held up at gun point leaving an Orioles game like 15 years ago, I promise you I didn't immediately go throw some bullpens. Dylan Cumming is absolutely built different. He has IT. No coach could ever question is want to again, the guy had a gun pulled on him and then just went to work out. 

If you're a pitcher you have to keep your calm and stay cool under pressure. He showed the ability to do that. He's going to be an unreal reliever in big time spots. Shohei Ohtani up at bat with the winning run on second? What is that to him, he's seen much worse. Cumming has balls the size of bowling balls for acting like nothing happened and going to throw, that is a commitment that you just can't teach. 

Doesn't look like he was missing his sports either. Unshakable. Probably wasn't even his glove he's using. That's probably in the bag in his car that got totaled by the robber.

Who needs a car when you can get those fucking gains? This dude rocks. Hopefully he's got a car by now and I also hope he was able to get some hot cakes. This dude almost died going to work out, he shouldn't ever be allowed to get cut from any team ever.
