Saw him throw out a kid at first base from CF tonight on a single to center.
Pretty impressive.

I believe it's his son. It was mentioned here when he committed.

Maybe the batter made a turn towards second.

All I know is his dad could freaking rake. He also had a little dog in him as well hope his son follows in his footsteps.

His dad is the best 1st baseman to ever play at lsu in my opinion

Just playing devil’s advocate here, but he technically could have been thrown out after rounding first base, thus a single. (I’m sure thats not what happened, but it would mean OP technically explained it correctly)

This is a crazy statement in a world where Eddie Furniss exists...and Hawpe was one of my favorite Tigers.

Well that’s why I said in my opinion. I’m entitled to mine just as you are entitled to yours.

You are correct, you are entitled to your opinion. But, come on man Eddy Furniss was a two time all american and won the Dick Howser award, which is for the best college player.

Hawpe was great but Furniss is a legend.
