Mesa Community College is a baseball powerhouse in the junior college ranks. They've won 18 National Championships, including one in 2014. They're currently 24-5 so far this season.

The Thunderbirds recently welcomed a new player to roster: Cubs slugger Kris Bryant. Except the players didn't know it was Kris Bryant because he pretended to be a European transfer student named Roy.

Needless to say, not many Mesa players were happy to hear they may be losing at-bats to a midseason transfer student. Then they watched Bryant, I mean Roy, step in the cage. Watch:

Eventually one of the Mesa players recognized Bryant. The coaching staff did a nice job with the prank. They had the players going for a while.

Bryant is a bit of a prankster, it seems. Last summer he went undercover as a Lyft driver in Chicago. Oh to be young again.

Kris Bryant is Mesa Community College's newest baseball player.
