Dsarm

Dsarm's real name is Dan Sarmiento. He uses the handle @dsarm across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, but identifies himself as Dan in his channel bio and in much of his on-camera content.

Yes — Dan Sarmiento describes himself as a "former pitcher" and labels himself a "former pro" in his video titles. That real playing background is central to his content, giving him the credibility to pull off stunts like going undercover at elite baseball events without immediately standing out.

Dsarm built a series of videos around infiltrating the MLB Draft Combine, using his background as a former pitcher to blend in with legitimate prospects. The series includes both his own undercover perspective and a video framed around sneaking another former pro into the event, a format that became one of his most-shared content styles.

Dsarm is originally from New Hampshire — reflected in the "NH → AZ" shorthand in his Instagram bio. He now lives in Arizona, which puts him close to MLB spring training facilities and the year-round baseball culture that fuels his content.

Yes, Dsarm's Instagram bio lists @nikediamond — Nike's baseball-specific equipment and apparel line — as a named affiliation, and Nike is confirmed as a sponsor in 2026. That makes him one of the few digital baseball creators with a direct Nike Diamond relationship rather than a general Nike tie.

Yes, Dsarm's Instagram bio lists @rawlingssg, pointing to a partnership with Rawlings SG, the brand's premium glove line. Given that his audience skews heavily toward active baseball players and serious fans, the Rawlings fit is a natural one.

@dsarmelite appears to be a separate brand or account Dsarm runs alongside his main channel, likely focused on elite-level baseball training or instruction. He links it in the same breath as his major sponsors, suggesting it is a distinct property rather than just a secondary personal account.

Dsarm uses #野球 — the Japanese word for baseball — to reach international fans in a country where the sport commands an enormous following. It fits his stated brand of "exploring the world of baseball" and helps him build an audience beyond the United States, where over 80 percent of his viewers already live.

Yes — Dsarm launched his YouTube channel in 2017, reached around 2,000 subscribers, and then went on an extended hiatus. He relaunched around mid-2020 and has since grown the channel to well over half a million subscribers, shifting toward higher-production challenge and infiltration-style baseball videos.

Dsarm has also run sponsored content with BenQ, Zocdoc, Booking.com, and Whatnot on YouTube as of 2026. The Whatnot partnership is a particularly logical fit given the strong overlap between his baseball audience and the baseball card collecting community that drives a lot of Whatnot's activity.
