Upton's last few High school AB's

Was looking around on youtube and came across this video that someone posted of Upton's last few High school AB's. Here is the link...

He cranks one out at about 2:10, aside from that nothing else real eventful but I was just impressed at how he never swung at the first or second pitch showing excellent patience at the plate even at a time when most guys are just swinging to impress the scouts, but Upton had the talent to do both.

We have already seen it in the majors but I just wanted to show he even showed it in High school. I cannot wait to see Upton at his peak.

He'll be gone when he is at his peak

The D Backs forfeited his age 26 season by calling him up too soon.

They will have had him through ages 20-25, and thats it. The BEST of Justin Upton will be on some other (Big Market) team. There is no way he will sign a long term arbitration buyout deal with AZ where he gives up a year or two of free agency in the process. His family is counseling BJ against doing that….and I’m sure they’ll do the same with Justin. And since he got such a big signing bonus, and his family is pretty well set, the D Backs don’t have the leverage here. He doesn’t really “need” to insure his or his family’s future by taking a Chris Young/Troy Tulowitski type deal.

He will be a FA right as he reaches his peak heading into his age 26 season
