How much money will this kid make?
« on: January 23, 2009, 06:14:03 AM »
Bryce Harper.  6'3" 205lbs.   15 years old.   Hitting the ball over 500 feet in a scouting combine at Tropicana field.  And he's a catcher.

If he hires Scott Boras, he most likely will be a millionaire before he's 19.


FF to the 3 minute mark if you want to see him hitting.

He's going to be crazy.....but that bat is aluminium and its adding about 100 feet to those shots.  Plus, he's getting lob balls right down the middle to drive.  It's impressive, but it would be more impressive with a legit MLB bat, and live pitching.

You're right about the bats.  I thought the same thing, but I found this:

Apparently, he's really good with wooden bat too.
