Haters will say it’s fake.
Actually, haters will say he was using a metal bat and that Jayce Blalock isn’t 13-years-old. And maybe that gale force winds were at his back. We know that the metal bat is true, but even still, 400 feet is pretty fucking impressive for a 13-year-old.
The left field corner of Sun Trust Park, the home to the Atlanta Braves, measures 375 feet. Blalock blew past that with this “batting practice” home run. I’m not a baseball distance expert, but I think that ball would have landed well over the 400 foot mark if it were to have landed on the ground.
If Jayce Blalock’s name sounds familiar, he recently bombed a 375-foot grand slam during the Little League World Series.
Moonshot.
Keep dropping bomb, Jayce.
