Baseball’s wet guys make a splash on the field, literally. From Brandon Crawford’s slickness to Colby Rasmus’ drenched locks, they captivate viewers with their soaked presence. Now, joining this elite group is the Philedelphia Phillies’ Brandon Marsh, who adds another layer to the intriguing world of baseball’s moist mystique. A recent behind-the-scenes view of Marsh’s pre-game ritual sent shockwaves through Phillies fans worldwide.

Players have a history of calling Phillies Star Brandon Marsh on his hygiene, but his greasy hair especially has caught the eye of several teammates and fans throughout his time on the team. Is it a superstition or just a weird habit?

Fans saw Brandon Marsh’s dry hair, probably for the first time ever. But what ensued right after tore them apart in two, with some oohing over the ritual and some booing him on it. Marsh was seen pouring cups of water on his silky locks in this recent Instagram post, alongside fellow slugger Bryson Stott, unraveling the secret behind his always sleek hair.

Apparently, Marsh has his own reasons to wet his hair—and it’s not just superstition. In an interview with Fox Sports’ Jake Mintz, he explained: “If I don’t wet it, it gets super bristly out there. I don’t like it that way. I like it wet.” Makes sense. But what do the fans have to say about it?
