Jimmy Tatro Thought Giancarlo Stanton Would Be an NFL Star?

I played with Giancarlo for 3 years at Tujunga Little League in LA. He was hitting 300 foot bombs as an 11-12 year old!

[@danlivni2097]

[@johnfernandez292]

I coached against him his senior year. I thought he was definitely a D1 player… then another coach told me forget it! He’s better at baseball. Lol

[@justjuan589]

This is actually hilarious lol Thanks for the story

[@KolossusB]

He definitely made the way better choice. Way less CTE in baseball, and he's still getting 32 million a year.

[@brianhalligan9268]

the idea of a high school Stanton already 6'5-6'6 and just vaporizing a baseball is amazing. He already vaporizes them in the pros to the point I fear for fans in the stands when a HR ball is hit 110 right at them but in high school with a metal bat! dude must have hit them 600ft

[@Drcowboyfunk007]

I’m adopting “vaporize” as a hitting verb. Thank you

He was smart choosing baseball. Certainly will have a longer career and the ceiling for finances much higher in baseball.

That sound like Jim Thorpe levels

[@bmcrider34]

So I’m that guy…former ball player. (Small college) looked it up according to google earth. Looks like a short porch. Only 350feet to the football field from home plate. Could be distorted and further but yea that’s my resource…for further reference of non ball players. 400ft is considered to be a pretty far home run by big league standards. I have no doubt Giancarlo was doing that in high school.

Everyone seems to forget Brian Jordan. He had a 15-year MLB career (1992 - 2006) and racked up 32.9 bWAR as an outfielder, mostly for the Cardinals and Braves. He played safety for the Falcons for 3 seasons, with 5 interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries, and 2 safeties scored. He led Atlanta in tackles in 1991. His NFL career happened while he was in the Cardinals' farm system. Good ballplayer.
