13 yr old Little Leaguer hits 400 ft HR

[fullxtension]

At 5'7" 177lbs, he is a big kid, but holy cow anyway.

375... but still pretty impressive. 12 is a weird time. I remember playing in the World Series tourney in Cooperstown. There's kids with facial hair who look like they should be playing varsity HS ball, and then there's kids at that age who also look like little boys. I remember quite a few in that home run derby planting balls around that length. A lot of times those kind of kids get passed up by others who finally hit their growth spurt.

He'd probably be the best hitter on UGA's baseball team right now. Been in pitiful shape since we lost that CWS final to Fresno State.

Asterisk.

Think he'd beat Tony Wolters (.050 ISO, 0 home runs in 234 PA. At Coors Field) in a HR Derby?

When you start paying for all the wooden bats.

The kid will be 15 next week. I heard he's related to Danny Almonte.

BBcore bats aren't like the bats we used as kids.


Really damn close to the same pop as a wood bat. And one bat can get a team thru a season if need be.
