@itsthatguy71 thats cuz harpers already in the minors dumbass...not ripping on walker he's a great player but your being ridiculous saying hes better, nobody can hit like harper can right now hes in a league of his own
@itsthatguy71 That's because he's playing professional baseball you fucking moron. Not to mention, leading his team in average, slugging percentage, and RBI's last time I checked. Winning a home run derby doesn't mean shit. The kid was also two years older than Bryce.
he is a senior and he didnt hit a ball 570 but bryce hit that ball 502 easily stop bitching pussy everybody complains who cares just cause you cant hit water if you fell out of a boat dosent mean you gotta be a bitch so go cry to your mommy bitch
On every single one of these high school home run derby videos, someone has to hate on them for using metal bats. IDK if you noticed, but the first couple home runs he hit were with wood, so obviously he has power with wood too. And metal bat or not, 500 foot home runs (Talking about harper now) are impressive... No one is impressed by a youtube watcher who says they are just as good.
I wish they would drop the alloy bats from these competition. I know without the aluminum bats they'd only be warning track power. Granite when I played I was a hefty Frank Thomas 6'6" 285-305lbs, depended on what I ate for lunch, so needless to say these kids with their pinger bats couldn't hold my jockstrap when I used my 34" model C271B Louisville Slugger. Yeah, that's all wood baby. I grew up using my wood bats to hit everything from tennis to whiffle to hardball.
@DurskMan cuz u can hit the back of the dome like bryce harper right? and be overall #1 draft pick right? and hit a 570 ft HR as a freshman in high school right?
@miichaell1 He didn't hit a 570 foot home run. That whole story is such bull shit. The farthest in the major leagues this year was 490. You think a freshman in high school hit one 570? That has never been done by anyone ever in the world. Harper is a little prick he made it up.
@DurskMan The sweet spot in an aluminum bat goes about the same distance as aluminum, but metal just has a bigger sweet spot. It doesn't matter anyway. These kids are all nasty at baseball. You are probably not.
I like how everyone on here is the all knowing about the swing and fielding. These kids are good or they wouldnt be there. I say congrats to all of them cause i have been at this level and seeing as how i am here i wasnt quiet good enough to keep going. All these people on here talking trash need to see where they are and where this kids are!
yea but that was a half swing as you could see. who knows he may be better when drafted because the coaches will fix his off balance approach but they way he looks now he will K alot and his speed doesn't look great so as of now he looks like a homerun or K type hitter.
he's short and pudgy and has bad technique fielding the ball by how he steps into his throws, plus an offbalance swing he'll never touch a good offspeed major league pitch because he'll stumble over waiting on it. He's barely getting around on these mid 70 meatballs they are throwing imagine a 90+ fastball
if you watch him in BP before the jersey presentation his swing was much more balanced. I mean you're in a home run durby and you're expecting a meatball down the middle. I mean you saw prince fielder's swing in tjhis year's homerun durby. But I will have to admit Bryce Harper has a much better swing, and looking at some of Bryce's interviews he probably works harder than him too.
Hmm if he is 17 and a sophomore he won't be in the majors at 19 you should think before you write something so dumb he will be a senior in high school then at a minumu it would be another 2 years before he would ever step on a field probably 4 so 23 is a possibility not 19.
nice simple stance. he should do good in the majors. bryce has the power but he needs to stay more balanced at the plate. When they start facing guys like Tim Lincecum, or Josh becket, their swings need to be short and balanced.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Im left handed and this guy is like a guy i look up to. although imm only fourteen i hit the shit out of the ball and i hope to be as good as a hitter like Bryce Harper
i hope this kid remebers who i am. we played his team last year and he went 0-5 against me and i throw 80. personally there first baseman guthridge i think is a better hitter. but good luck to u christian
also now who ever talks trash about using metal bats is a dumbass there practicaly like wood bats know bbcor bats act like wood bats just metal
