Watch: High school player flaunts major-league bat flip
@CoachHousel / Twitter
His name is Chris Turco, he plays baseball for Gloucester Catholic High School in New Jersey, and when he hits dingers, he's going to flip his bat.
The University of Albany commit hit a solo shot, admired his bomb, then defiantly tossed his bat to land right in front of the umpire - the only person on the field who appears to be offended - who stood at home plate with his hand on his hip like he's Turco's parents wondering why their son is so late for dinner.
Unsure of the rest of his scouting report, we can most assuredly add 80-grade bat flip to his profile.
