Josh Bell hits a home run off the Chicken Express sign on the back wall of the Rangers bullpen at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington 4/9/2011, estimated around 430ft.
He got drafted late because he sent a letter to all mlb teams sayimg he wanted to play at texas and now look he got like a 10 mil signing bonus for doing that
@ArwingFighter Only bc he's committed to playing with U of Texas next year. While some players opt to wait for the signing bonus to decide, Bell sent a letter to MLB to tell them of his plans. Though you never know, money talks and the Rays are deep enough that maybe....but I doubt it.
So much talent though, you're right. But he'll only get better with more lower league playing time and maturity.
griffey-esque.

I thought Josh Bell wrote letters to all the MLB teams telling them not to draft him because he was going to UT.

Hopefully he'll be hitting those in parks like that in a Pirates uniform in a few years!
