American Idol Elliott Yamin Return to Richmond Va Performance

On Saturday August 16, Richmond Virginia Native and American Idol Finalist came back to town and performed at the Richmond Brave Minor League Baseball Game. No Elliott was not playing 3rd base for the Richmond Braves, rather he did was he does best. He sang.

Here is Elliot Yamin singing the National Anthem.

Elliott Yamin did however get some time to test his baseball skills with the Richmond Braves, as he shagged some balls in the outfield, took batting practice, signed autographs as part of the Inspired by Diabetes campaign and sang the national anthem.

Yamin managed to make contact on some pitches during his two rounds of batting practice, hitting a few infield grounders and one looper over shortstop.

“It’s just real cool, man,” Yamin said between rounds. “I’ve always dreamed of being a singer or a professional athlete. Obviously, if I was a professional athlete, I’d be one of the smallest.”

Yamin is 5-6, 152 pounds.

“After watching him swing, he’s got potential - to be a good singer,” R-Braves manager Dave Brundage said. “He looks to be a prospect - just not in baseball.”
