Alex Kirilloff doesn t like to show off, always seems to deflect attention for his supernatural hitting ability. But he couldn t pass up this chance.
It came at Orioles FanFest one January in Baltimore, where Kirilloff and his dad happened across a batting cage where fans could take a few cuts against a pitching machine lobbing civilian fastballs, lower velocity but still with some zip. David Kirilloff didn t want to stop, but Alex begged him. Finally I said OK. He grabbed a bat and just started hitting. Contact after contact, the proud father recalled. People were stopping to watch. What? Come look at this.
