Meet Brooks Rider, the future bat-dog of the Frisco Rough Riders. So far, Brooks has been getting a ‘Double A’ education, but he’s not scoring quite so high in the focus department.

Here’s a video of Brooks at a recent game where he shows off his bat-dog skills, or, well, lack thereof.

Brooks Whoops

Brooks has been the Rough Riders ambassador and team dog for 2 years. Prior to his minor league baseball career, Brooks was in training to be a guide dog. Which is probably why he’s so awesome at running the bases.

Watch out kid, Brooks forgot he isn’t on a football team

We know you got this Brooks. We believe in you.

And spring training was going so well

There’s no “off” season for me. Baseball bats of 2017, watch out! I’m coming for you! #RuffRiders #WatchOutBats ? pic.twitter.com/u2nbsPwTA5
