Two almost identical athletes with same name get DNA test to see if they are long-lost siblings

There are two baseball players both called Brady Feigl and they look exactly like one another.

Two athletes who look almost identical took a DNA test to find out whether they are related.

In the past, scientists have claimed that every person in the world has about six people who look like them.

But they are two baseball players who look so alike that they decided to see if there was a connection.

Remarkably, both are called Brady Feigl, stand at 6 foot 4 and have ginger hair and a ginger beard.

In addition, the duo also have thick glasses that you may mistake for safety goggles in science class.

And another incredible similarity includes both having Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction performed by the same very doctor called James Andrews - which is what first led to them being mistaken for one another.

They both play the same position in baseball; with one a pitcher for Mexican side Pericos de Puebla and the younger Brady Feigl previously plying his trade with Oakland Athletic.

Outside of their families they had never met anyone with the same surname but Inside Edition paired them together to get the answers they'd been looking for.

They did a DNA test, filled out a questionnaire about their lives and participated in three different facial recognition programs.

However, the test revealed that they were not in fact secret siblings after all and their shared characteristics were merely coincidental.

Yet a big takeaway was that the doppelgangers both had German roots and registered 53 percent Germanic origin.

And though they are not related biologically, the pair concluded that they are "still brothers in a way.".
