During his high school days in North Carolina, Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson was a two-sport standout, playing on the varsity basketball and baseball teams.
From 2012 to 2016, he played on the two teams at the Greenville Christian Academy in Greenville, North Carolina.
Since graduating from high school, Jimmy has gone on to create a YouTube channel that boasts over 80 million subscribers.
But Donaldson’s high school stats are still available on the website MaxPreps.
He recorded averages of 5.8 points and 5.9 rebounds as a junior in basketball.
But his true skills were on the baseball field, where he played as an outfielder for the varsity squad.
Per MaxPreps, in 70 games, MrBeast posted 81 hits, 65 RBIs with an average of .424 and an astounding on-base percentage of .511.
During his senior season, he also stole 23 bases in 25 attempts.
But Donaldson’s true calling was always content creation on YouTube.
During his high school days, he was obsessed with YouTube and posting videos on his channel.
In a recent interview with Colin and Samir, MrBeast recently shared that he decided not to go to college, where he could’ve been a baseball player.
MrBeast decided to instead create content on YouTube.
“I didn’t want to go to college. I don’t care. I’m not saying it’s bad. But for me, I hate school, I just want to make YouTube videos,” he said.
MrBeast would make the right choice, as it’s incredibly difficult to make the MLB.
It’s also worth noting that he was the 212th best player in the state of North Carolina and the 6,107th best player in the US – not a ranking that would help his chances of being a professional ball player.

Unfortunately for Donaldson, even if he pursued playing baseball in college, the 6-foot-3 YouTuber was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 15.
MrBeast suffers from inflammatory bowel disease, which severely hinders his ability to play the sport.
“Yeah, I loved baseball but got Crohn’s disease and didn’t have the energy to train anymore. Certain months of the year I was playing school ball and rec ball and had like 4 hours of practice a day lol. Good times,” MrBeast wrote in an X post to a fan last week.
MrBeast’s drive to create content has led to massive returns.
His videos, usually of a kid-friendly and philanthropy variety, routinely hit over 50 million views.
MrBeast’s net worth is estimated to be $550,000 – which is the highest-paid YouTube creator in the world.
