15 years ago it was Remember the name Matt White - since he was throwing 98 MPH heat as a 15 year old.

Seriously. Remember his name? Why?

Someone check him for roids.

Preparing for an onslaught of slander, everyone remember that a GED is just as good as a diploma these days!

I hope he fails. But only because I'm jealous of any teenager making more in a year than I will my entire life. Nothing personal.

500ft is some prodigious power but there is just soooooooo much more to it.

This kid is getting some bad advice imo. Finish high school the right way son, be a kid for a while. You aren't emotionaly prepared for what awaits at 15-16 years old. Baseball will still be there in two years, I promise.

Let me go on to say I'd also be in favor of seeing Ted Williams, Hank Arron, Joe DiMaggio, Roger Maris and even Babe Ruth swing a light-weight, compressed gas filled, metal baseball bat. Would be incredible to see what anyone of them could do.

Gary Sheffield swings harder than anyone in baseball, outside of maybe Vlad Guerrero. You try playin 3B with one of those two up at the plate with a metal bat.

Not many playing on the grass there eh? The scary thing is the bats would also likely be mandated to be heavier...HS used to be -4 and had to change back to a -3 ratio. The only problem in MLB is these guys are strong enough to swing that much weight...
