A sixteen year old kid from Las Vegas who just completed his sophomore season of high school baseball is on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Give me a fucking break!
Yes, I saw a YouTube video of him crushing home runs with an aluminum bat and his high school stats are unbelievable.
Tom Verducci of SI writes about the kid like he has a school girl crush on him.
The kid has a great swing that generates an abundance of power.
The kid is quoted as saying he wants to get into the Hall of Fame, play in Yankee Stadium, and wear pinstripes.
He needs make the majors first. I'm fairly certain he will, but you just never know? Can he hit a curve ball? Will he be able to transition from an aluminum bat to a wooden bat? Will all this hype get to his head? And injury can curtail anybodies potential...
Another problem is he'll probably be represented by Scott Boras...
