I guarantee if he had pitched in the NL his whole career, he would've given a run for the pitchers HR record. That's a man who knows how to swing a bat.

once saw him in his highschool years hit a ball that cleared a street, school and wood/metal shop. Had to have traveled 650 ft. Folk he is 6'7" and has the quick hands of a man half his size. Could of hit 400plus MLb homeruns

I grew up an Indians fan and when I was really young, I didn't know about NL pitchers hitting. I vividly remember this moment and thinking, "Pitchers aren't supposed to hit homeruns."

That looked like a bear was up to bat.

Isn't he a pitcher for the Yankees. I'm confused
