Former San Francisco Giants manager and current Miami Marlins assistant general manager Gabe Kapler recently posted a video.
That fact alone shouldn’t necessarily be that interesting, but it always depends on what he posted.
And what he posted was… not your average offseason content, via Talkin’ Baseball.

There he is, with swagger and confidence, getting in an intense walk instead of driving.
That’s usually not newsworthy, but there is something about Kapler that generated tons of reactions, of all types.
So true, Gabe Kapler. Also, you can just break into a full sprint and save even more time.

When WAR = Walk Above Rideshare

It is like 12 degrees below freezing here, Gabe.

The final part, “just walk faster,” is what gets most people.
So.. the message is “If you want to get somewhere faster than you would walking at a normal pace, walk faster.”
My mind is blown.

We won’t lie: it was an odd video and yes, it had some specifically hilarious parts.
But that’s Kapler: he is just more intense than the average baseball guy.
He is already rocking Miami gear, as he is seen “walking” while wearing a Heat hat.
He probably embraces his new role and is excited about it.
The former manager will have more on his plate now that he is back in a front office gig again.
He might have his quirks and hasn’t left every place he has worked on the best terms, but you can’t deny he knows his baseball.
He was a former player, manager, and even a director of player development.
There is a reason why he has gotten those positions: because he knows the game and has a particular point of view regarding it.
In the end, the overall message of the video, which is to walk (faster), is beneficial to the body and mind.
Still, the way he says it is just unique.
