High school kid hits a 515 foot homerun at Marlins Park in Miami, at a showcase.

Same showcase that Bryce Harper hit his 507 foot bomb when he was in high school.

Also, didnt Bryce Harper hit like a 510 foot bomb in the old marlins park with a wooden bat when he was 16?

So how, precisely, do they measure whether it is 507 or 510 or 515 feet?

I like how the article kept harping on the fact that Mike Stanton didn't hit 515 foot home runs in that park... ummm I think if he took batting practice with a metal bat, he'd do it on the regular.

Well considering people have travelled to the moon, that's not really a challenge
