Fact check: Why is Will Sennett talking about striking out Timothy Chalamet? And could Will Sennett's broken down old ass even throw a 98 mph fastball?

1. Summary of the results

Will Sennett created a viral TikTok and tweet where he described a hypothetical scenario of striking out Timothée Chalamet in three specific pitches ^[1]. The video was inspired by Sennett seeing a Dune billboard in New York City, where he detailed a sequence including "Slider outside. Curveball in the dirt. Bang, 98, inside corner." ^[2]. The content gained significant traction, accumulating 279,000 views on TikTok and widespread sharing across Twitter ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question misses several important contextual elements:

• This was a comedic social media creation, not a real challenge or actual baseball-related event ^[2]
• The video has become part of internet culture, being remixed multiple times and even transformed into merchandise through Redbubble stickers ^[2]
• The content appears to be part of Sennett's broader online comedy persona, rather than a serious athletic claim ^[2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains several problematic assumptions:

• It treats the situation as if it were a real challenge rather than acknowledging its nature as viral social media content
• The question about Sennett's ability to throw a 98 mph fastball misses the point that this was intended as comedic content, not a serious athletic claim
• The aggressive tone ("broken down old ass") suggests a misunderstanding of the content's intended humorous nature

The situation benefits multiple parties:

• Will Sennett gained significant social media exposure and engagement ^[1]
• Content creators who remixed the video received engagement from the trend ^[2]
• Merchandise sellers on platforms like Redbubble benefited from creating related products ^[2]
