Jason Heyward is an absolute beast
According to DOB's twitter, they'll be hanging nets to protect cars in the Executive Parking Lot at Disney's Wide World of Sports. Why? Because the Jay Hey Kid hit a ball so hard on Tuesday that it not only broke Asst. GM Bruce Manno's sunroof, but it did severe damage to the frame itself.
This guy might be pretty good in a few years...

I hope the Army or Secret Service doesn’t take him from us…If he is ever used as a weapon, we are all screwed.

don't feel bad
I’ve had one ever since I saw him swing the bat for the 1st time in the AZ Fall League. It was pretty magical.

I saw him last year at spring training with my father. He looked at him and goes “Who the hell is that guy, why is he twice as big as everyone.” Instant badass.

In ST 08 I got to see an impromptu HR derby between Heyward, Freeman, Tyler Flowers and Cody Johnson. You wanna talk about magical…

first time I saw Heyward
He had a triple, an RBI, a run scored, and threw a runner out at the plate, all in the 1st inning. Honest. I had heard he was special, but that was rediculous.
Huh?...
how do you do “severe damage” to the frame of an automobile (likely a 2000+ pound automobile) with a hit baseball? Damn that thing must have been moving fast.
I was wondering that too
Here are Pujols's stats: 1.000/1.000/4.000/5.000. That's right. He is batting a thousand, with a thousand OBP (naturally), and every hit has been a home run, and thus his OPS is a perfect 5.000.

Great, now there are going to be more Chuck Norris sayings but with Heyward’s name inserted…

But that one is for real...
how hard do you have to hit a baseball to structurally damage a car (and considering the person’s position in the organization, even if it was a rental, it was likely a mid or high end automobile)? Something generally designed for withstanding high weight /speed imact collisions.

I haven’t seen any pictures, but I am going to just assume that the report was grossly exaggerated, and I think it is physically impossible to inflict “severe damage” to an automobile with a baseball. At most there was a dent and broken glass – especially given that the moment of impact was the ball’s slowest point in flight.
Or maybe he just mancrushed it so hard that it actually gained speed on its descent and hit the car so damn hard that it blew up GTA style.

broke and bent
Broke the glass sunroof and bent the track the glass glides back on.
Wow.
It’s starting to look like he will be our opening day right fielder.
The only time the Mets win is in the offseason.
