Sadly, there are no YouTube videos of 18-month-old Blaze hitting home runs with his plastic bat, no records of how far those first blasts traveled. Those didn't start showing up until he was a little bit older. Like the one from when he was 11, hitting a 395-foot home run in a showcase at the Texas Rangers' home ballpark.

If you search hard enough on the internet, you can also find photos of Jordan, now 15, working out this past winter with Albert Pujols. And plenty of other videos of tape-measure homers.

Don't look for him on any previews of the June draft. He's only a ninth-grader at DeSoto Central High in Southaven, Mississippi. But college coaches have known about him for a while; Jordan has already committed to Mississippi State.

Major league teams know him already, too.

"To me, he's like a young Bob Horner," one Mississippi-based scout says. "I'd heard about him, so when I got to see him in a tournament in Atlanta, I really paid attention. First game, he faced a really good pitcher. Boom. Home run.
"He has a God-given ability to hit home runs."

And a name his dad gave him because he thought it would fit a football player.
