Highest spike reach I've seen since Leonel Marshall. Don't believe his listed spike height on FIVB - he's definitely over 370cm (see 21 sec.) These particular clips are from the 2007 World Cup via www.fivb.org

  • Giba's 325cm spike is an old mesure...

    in actual days, he can reach higher than that, but I not sure how much is it...

    AND that is not World League...

    IT is World CUP !!

  • True, as was stated in the description these clips are from the World Cup. I guess I was using "World League" in the title as a more of a general term to refer to these types of competitions. (Soto was actually the top scorer in the most recent World Cup and World Championship)

  • Dude maybe the statistics are older, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were true. Just it depends on the camera, if you look at his hoop at 0:10 you'll see the difference. I've seen a movie of Winiarski making a jumpserve and it look exactly the same like he was 150cm above the ground level but in fact his reach is about 350cm. Of course it doesn't change the fact that Soto is a great player.

  • Well then you must believe Giba only touches 325cm (his listed spike). I'm not talking about the shot at :10. That angle is obviously misleading. Pause the video at his peak around :21-:22 and look at his body position relative to the net and blocker. Note that this camera angle actually favors objects further in the distance (i.e. the net)

  • @ZADL11 @ 4:50 of the puerto rico vs America video is where he comes in at waist high and folds. 

  • @ZADL11 not really hector soto was said to have a 50 inch vert and he's 6'6. Try looking at the game where puertorico plays america. At ont point he gets waist high to the net and he folds to hit the ball to avoid the block. I've never seen MArshall do that.... Soto just knows he can jump and plays it smart. Leonell tries to jump out of the gym on every jump...lol

  • Spike touch?? In wikipedia ;-) 340 cm....

  • @ZADL11 no they both jump in the 50's

  • @ZADL11 Yeah for sure, this guy just doesn't compare.

  • leonel marshall jumps wayyyyyyyyyyy higher than hector soto.

  • ky eshte bishe

  • 52 inches my man!!!

  • i want to know his vert in inches

  • oh no way!!! do you have it posted up?
