Houston Texans defensive end/human Chip Hazard doll J.J. Watt is spending his Thursday afternoon visiting Minute Maid Park.

MLB.com Astros reporter Chandler Rome posted video of Watt taking some pitches.

He's not hitting the balls so much as sending them abroad to study other cultures and experience new things. Somewhere in the galleria, glass is shattering and people are dropping, and no one knows why.

According to Rome, Watt enjoyed his cuts, but he prefers mangling people over leather.

Watt also stopped to take a picture with Astros shortstop Carlos Correa and his aggressive bowler hat.

Then he met Mike Trout, whom he asked to throw him a pitch just "for a picture."

Now, this isn't Watt's first time taking cuts. He belted a few dingers in 2013 during a more chop-happy stop at Minute Maid.



Comparing today's footage to 2013's, Watt appears to have gotten appreciably better at hitting baseballs in the last two years.

So if you have a car parked in the metro area, I'd move it to a covered, underground area—preferably, like, 50 miles under the ground.





Dan is on Twitter. When J.J. Watt and Mike Trout finally DBZ fuse, the world will probably explode.
