Guest jhamilton Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Fresh up my mind Ruth who is the kid? There was much to do about him last year bc he was so young right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adminbaberuth Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Potential No 1 draft prospect in MLB, right now. Can play any position, enrolled in college early to test the draft at age 17. Boras is his advisor/agent. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1156215/3/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno994 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I think ESPN e-60 had a report on him as well. Hitting 500 ft homeruns, clocked around 90 mph on gun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stick Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I wonder if his college batting average will live up to all the hype! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullets13 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 he already looks like a pro at the plate. huge body, fluid swing, 30 seconds to adjust his gloves and fluff his pantcuffs after every pitch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid can play ball, not sure if he will ever be able to meet the expectations that the media (and in some ways himself) have placed on his shoulders.

EAGLE07 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 His bat did not look good at all during the Aflac game but man does he have a cannon behind the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than being a top player in the Majors would be considered a failure at this point. That is a lot to live up to for a young kid. There are a lot more "sure things" that bust than succeed, especially in baseball. Lebron is the only one that comes to mind that has been successful with this much hype at such a young age.Good Luck to the kid. I just hope he doesn't start a trend of kids quitting HS early to play college. Enjoy HS while you can, you can never get those years back.

One of the best juco conferences in the nation along with Region 5 and 14, both of Texas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stick Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Have not heard a single thing about the great Bryce after his first hit, would love to know his average!There is no doubt the kid is good, but I am not sure he is as good as everyone is playing this up to be. If you look up all of the prospects he is not on top in hitting, running or throwing. If I am not mistaken he did not win the homerun derby and he did not hit a homerun in the wooden bat round. I am not ragging on him I am just wondering why the kids that won these catagories are not mentioned anywhere.I hope he does make it all the way I am just wondering why everyone is pumping this up and not the others.He obviously has someone with connections throwing his name out there.
