Woah, did Randall start making videos too?

Don't think it's Randall himself but seems to be a partnership.

What If? The Video Series is the official adaptation of the 'What If?' books by Randall Munroe (xkcd.com) and is produced by Neptune Studios LLC

Yup.

And honestly they adapted well.

Sort of. He's only narrating the videos while other people are producing it though, so I doubt he's that involved. All these videos are adaptations of his book "What If?"

The Yankees would sign you to a lucrative 10 year deal.

Edit. But their catcher would quit.

TLDW; The rules of baseball say that the batter is eligible to advance to first base.
