The scene in 6x05 where I do the “bat tricks” was two weeks in the making. I carried a baseball bat around with me at all times, to and from set. Practicing constantly at home and at work. I have never played baseball before in my life, but have seen videos of people “twirling” (is that what it’s called? I still don’t know) and always wanted a reason to learn how to do it. There was no mention of any “bat tricks” in the script... but I just thought... if Brainiac 5 played baseball... he’d probably be the best at it.
