Ruckus come say can you say hi to the camera really quick shout out to my boy ruck for hooking us up
with the field all right i got you i got you he's saying hit it 519 or hit it 527 please
first swing after i hang out with ruckus that's barrel dude that's barrel
all right folks we are out here in amarillo texas and you might be wondering will what on earth
are you doing in amarillo texas listen up folks two years ago history was made by leandro cedeno
who hit the furthest ball ever in the stat cast era of professional baseball 527 feet 30 high
fly ball to center field that is way out of here into center but what's unique about amarillo it
sits at like 3600 feet above sea level the ball flies like crazy typically the wind blows out to
left center so today i first want to find out can we do what cedeno did can we match the distance
record it's probably not going to be with a wood bat but we got a good lineup here and two am i
ready to do another world record attempt how close can we get to 600 feet today let's find out
so let's introduce you to hodgetown a little bit pretty traditional dimensions but it's high and
dry ball flies like crazy 400 to dead center 325 down the lines i think if all goes well i should
get a ball 500 we have track man to get us like pretty much exact distance measurements the wind
is a little swirly it's kind of going straight towards the left field foul pole let's try to
get lucky dude that wind's blowing in look at that pine tar is going straight that way okay we need
some superhuman strength right here first swing let's do it i hit that so hard oh is that a homer
no all right dude that's so freaking fast for granted we're using the hard balls but that's
107 that went 356 that's not going to do it tough pitch we're not here for doubles guys
too low but we're getting there all right we're on the board 370 for 103
that's pretty far all right that's a valiant attempt but what if i told you we are a hundred
feet short good velo but the the launch angle is just a little too low 421 that seemed like
a bomb that's highly discouraging too low bro oh my god 107 1390 oh we're so close 1091
ah jammed that's far
like i feel like that one hop city hall dude gosh 422 we're moving up
this is clearly not going to happen with the regular bat so we'll keep our bb core stint
short we got the icon one piece maybe something crazy happens i would like 450 all right come on
baby okay this is better this is better this is really light 107 4 we need to be at 110 at least
with this that's pretty far that's fair that's a fair ball 425 we're a hundred feet short i haven't
even broke a hundred feet that's pretty neutral no excuses on that one that's spun well come on
435 all right we're officially within 100 feet
god i feel pathetic you can get it on the building 435 1082 last one with bb core because clearly
it's not happening god i smoked that what was that oh dude that's almost my bb core pr
that's our farthest hit too 448 at 113.7 bro let's go
dude i'm starting to get worried we're not going to break the record with juiced bats
challenge three the juice drop five east and dub this might break so let's try to make it quick
all right east and dub come on this is not meant for the hardball so i'm praying that it lasts
oh yeah now we're cooking now we're cooking 116 446 on a little check swing okay we might we might
do it that is lethal try 121 cam let's go all right we have more 444 that was way too low
yeah it's i'm still not getting under it enough i'm really glad we're not hitting anything 122 465
come on bro that's pretty good that's over the scoreboard but that's still too low
oh that's pretty good all right 123 487 okay how close are we 40 feet short can you take two more
with that yeah of course i i still have a little more in the tank with this i'm amazed it's not
breaking i love this bat it's a dead center too no no i didn't hit it that good that's pretty
exactly where he hit it though yeah that's only 445 oh that's a good hit that's not 527
119 481 all right let's perfect perfect i know this bat has at least 500
not gonna play 124 i need to hit that with perfect backspin
that's as far as i can hit i think i broke the bat too
the bat exploded oh dude we're so we're actually close come on 509 and the bat exploded
123 508 and nine inches the poor easton dub on its first day of life
i do have two of these so if one i just it's such a light bat i'm worried it can't handle
the hard balls challenge number four the illegal black emerald green handle
if you know you know the bat's just so light survive please oh that's fast that didn't even
god it feels like a toothpick if this survives i think we can do it that's it
what was it ah 125.3503 it was just a knuckleball how this okay i see why this bat's banned it
hasn't broke yet that's over the batter's eye oh 466 got something
okay let's go grab a few baseballs i'm gonna pause this all right final attempt i think that broke
you can't really see it but you can hear it brand new one we're gonna keep it in the wrapper
did it break good i think it's broken let's go back to the other one no it's dude it blew up
no we might be out of bats sounded like a tennis ball all right i was about to give up right there
but the fine folks of amarillo have given us one more night one more chance if you see the flags
up there there is no wind which is i think a lot more favorable for this and we got two new bats
that might get it done a fresh dub a fresh icon we're gonna start with this guy and this will be
our desperation bat all right our current high is 509 we need 18 more feet all right i'm not
even fully warmed up but let's try this out okay let's see one cam all right back spin
okay let's see how it's traveling solid we have more in the tank there bro that went 450 it's
flying better tonight it is flying better tonight still too low but that should be close to 120
117 450 just knuckled it all right we're at least at 120 i think i'm finally warmed up
okay bat bro balls missed it oh dude we might do it that was off the hands for 120.7
449 all right weird swing oh that was dude is that our highest velo of the entire day
126.7 let's we got to show that this for for proof 120 dude the icon
geez ruckus come say can you say hi to the camera really quick
shout out to my boy ruck for hooking us up with the field all right i got you i got you he's
saying hit a 519 or hit a 527 please freaking ruckus my dog my prairie dog first swing after
i hang out with ruckus come on no way no way bro that was rooftop you think that went on the roof
dude i think it might have hit the roof because our distance isn't that good my man it only said
496 i think the building obstructed it bro it went 124 though that i mean that's barrel dude
that's barrel we'll take those all day bro that went 527 come on get a surveyor out here i think
god that was hit hard
wow if that's not it gosh who's this cedeno guy what was it 506 124 why did that seem like 540
it looked like it went 600 feet bro i'm just not strong enough i don't know if i can hit
good attempt geez that still went hopefully that didn't hit anything bad 489 i just need
you need to hit the center that's the point okay we're gonna give the dub a try over the scoreboard
yep 122 that's good it cracked dang it all right hey the icon honestly i'm placing my bets on the
okay one more mammoth homer let's see
good splitter i think i broke the bat dang it apparently not 124 we're good it doesn't look
broken sometimes that's when these bats really hit their gear i think it broke
it's not visible and this has a visible crack but sometimes it doesn't mean too much
that's close to the area right that looked a lot like the cedeno hit we're stuck at 500
i dude i gave it my best one more with the icon that is a super human feat bro
watch out ruckus our bats are cooked heads up bro all right there goes the dub there goes the icon
i think the ball that went on the old city hall right there could have done it but
still we could not beat the farthest professional stat cast verified home run of all time
the record stands with leandro cedeno
