If he's already this good pulling the ball into the stands, just wait until he realizes how even more fun it is to hit 'em out the other way. Hope the Angels develop this kid properly. They've been starved for homegrown power-hitting OFs for so long...
i agree that a little more extension would give him more power. but in his defense i dont think he needs it. its not like hes hitting wallscrapers. hes hitting flat out bombs. i think his amazingly short compact swing will do him just fine.
@aliendrone123 Wrong. Getting tired of reading this and HAVING to inform people. There is NO extension in a baseball swing. It comes after you make contact because you have to decellerate the bat head or else your shoulders will come out of there sockets. The best hitters and the best swings of all time don't deviate elbow angles throughout their swing and just rotate on an axis. It's how you create the earliest, and most batspeed. It's physics.
sounds so solid off the bat
Christian Walker won the derby. He ended up winning the National Championships at South Carolina.
Go Angels!!!!!!!!!!!! 24th overall in the 2009 draft to the Angels!!!!!
Randal - AWESOME hitting!!! Congrats.
I had no clue he went to UofA. Welcome back bro.
I pitched against this kid in little league. When he goes pro, my claim to fame will be he grounded out against me. He was such a beast and still is

His swing reminds me of Ian Kinsler's swing.

Welcome to St. Louis
@sxesean Extension is the EFFECT of a powerful swing, NOT THE CAUSE!!!!!!!
yeah well my best friend and me had a home run derby at our high school field when he came down to hang with us and he obviously kicked our asses haha
because bryce harper is a fuckin beast and hit a 502 homer and he was only 1 homer behind him
oops i think ur thinking of trout
i went to school with him
Maybe it's because of his pretty boy looks that got him the label, but that's just my take on it...
thats trout
no i obviously know who trout is....lol im asking if he was with the angels and if he beat harper in this hr derby

@TheChubb98 dude wtf are you talking about he got most homeruns in a round
i think if this kid extended he could be better hitter than harper. harper has like 5 inches on him and like 20 lbs.
yeah dude thats the same kid haha
What MLB team do you scout for?
Isn't he with the Angels? And he beat Harper?
ur a beast but bryce harper is better
