This is a link to a SI article about a young Las Vegas high school baseball player who at age 15 hit a 570 ft home run. He holds the record for longest home run hit at Tropicana field and he is only 16. Did i mention that he can pitch and throws 96 mph? He also plays catcher and can throw runners out from his knees. Check it out its unreal.

The LeBron James of baseball was Ken Griffey, Jr. without the injuries.

most overhyped players dont go anyway

same goes for lebron. until he wins a championship he should keep his mouth shut and learn how to win
before you know it, this future superstar will be on and off the DL like mark prior.

Doesn't matter

We are not going to get him…. ever. He isn’t out of HS and he is being “advised” by Scott Boras. Not to mention he will probably go #1 overall when he does enter the draft and we hopefully don’t have that spot.

That's awefully young...

The last super-young baseball prospect was Gregory “Toe Nash”, we saw how well that turned out.

The Lebron before Lebron was Schea Cotton, who was considered among the top couple high school basketball players in the country — as a Sophomore. That didn’t work out so well either.

Guys that young and talented are exciting, but there’s just so much that can go wrong.
