I am heading there next friday to check him out. Supposedly hit a 480 foot HR last week. I know they pump a bunch of kids up in the country to be the next A-Rod or whoever but this kid looks like the real deal....Youtube him if you dont know who Im talking about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liS3kGvQ9Bk , I just found this on youtube. Hell of a stroke this kid has, there is a little Paul O'neil in his swing. He throws really well from the crouch also.

I thought about going to see one of his games but haven't done it yet.  Where they play is way down there in Henderson.

its deff impressive but not as rare as people make it seem. i kid i went to high school with hit one over 500 his senior year. i will say that when u stand at the plate and look how far 500ft is its very impressive (atleast to me) it was 350 over left (its so big because its also a soccer field) then he carried a basketball court and a walk way before it hit a wall 2 floors up

Paul O'neil?  Seriously?  I'm not saying he was a terrible player but comparisons to Paul O'neil don't have me believing this guy is on a path to greatness.

Paul O'Neil won 2 batting titles in 2 different leagues....A Very very good player....not to mention one of the better arms of his generation.

Just got back from Fridays game. Stayed for his 1st 2 at bats. 0-2 with 2 K's....both swinging at high heat. Level of play was sloppy there for what is supposed to be an elite juco team. 5 errors in the 5 innings i stayed. Must have been about 25-30 scouts there though.

I was comparing similarities to their swings. They have similar back and hip tortion in their swings. This kid has a million miles and five rings to go before he can mentioned in the same breath when comparing careers.

And he was saying that turning out like Paul o'Neil would not be that great of an accomplishment.
