Baseball is different than basketball. I doubt this kid is facing major league quality pitching where he is at. At my age I can post those types of numbers facing the guys he is facing.

He will probably be drafted and signed to a AA team, stay there for about three years and get a shot to play if he can produce similar to any other prospect at that level. In short the most press this kid will get will be while he is in high school. Good for him. But when he reaches the major leagues he is no different than many, many other guys who can play.

I don't really like baseball as a whole, so no.

Kid is hitting 570 ft. dingerz. Unless you're Mark McGwire in disguise, I doubt that is possible. Hilarious though, thanks for the laugh.

Seriously this kind of stuff makes me sad, I feel bad for these "phenoms" who don't get to just enjoy being a kid and playing a game anymore. Everything is potential this and that. They lose the freedom to screw up in high school, really to just be a young dumb kid. I heard the kids parents may let him just quit school so he can enter the draft and start his career... at 17. Poor b*****d goes from puberty to fuill time adult instantly. He'll likely get millions but it will cost him some of the best years of his life.

have you seen the documentary hoop dreams? your post kind of reminded me of it

Great movie.

"People say, 'When you make it to the NBA, don't forget about me.' I feel like telling them, 'Well, if I don't make it, make sure you don't forget about me.' "
