Looks like it hit a wire, it changed direction slightly, like 10-15 degrees abruptly.

Wire same as catwalk? It was going RCF and StatCast had it projected at 368 ft

Based on what? I know he's not going to hit 55 HR but kid is very smart at the plate....if a pitcher doesn't adapt he kills them....if he does he gets them the at bat after he gets him.

Already 5 2 HR games and didn't come up until late April. His stance is ridiculous and how he hits the high pitched is beyond me.

He better go downhill fast because Joc Pederson came up great, struggled mightily but hung around.

Bellinger top 5 MVP candidate right now

big league pitchers will make their adjustments and pitch him accordingly, and then we'll see if he can adjust...if he can, then I'm wrong...we'll see

Barring a rehab assignment, there is no way he goes back to Triple A. He will move back to LF once Gonzalez is off the DL and back at First. Top prospect in the organization, if he does struggle, they will let him figure it out with the parent club.

He better be careful. Might get sent down to AAA if he keeps that up.

Dude rakes every time I watch but isn't getting it done. Last AB I saw he hit a 470 ft HR and time before hit a grand slam off Leake.

He'll probably be back vs Reds and go 11/13 in series

This is random but why are the Braves fans that race The Freeze dipshits that can't run 300m without falling down.

Haven't done the math....is it that far? Was guessing around 250. Regardless the typical fan can't run that distance at their top speed. I feel safe in saying I wouldn't fall down though. I would however take off and go decoy slower than I am knowing he gives a big head start in hopes that he would give an extra second or two and then kick in whatever top speed I had.

Dude can motor though.

I think he starts when the runner gets to a certain spot on the wall. But still, if you save your energy at the beginning when he isn't running it would benefit you.

It's way too big of a head start for any male under 27 years old that is pretty fast.

He recently lost and that kid was very fast. Video showed him getting nearly a 5 second head start and race closer to 200m....Freeze takes 19-20 seconds to get done. Dude that beat him took about 22 seconds. Looks to me that someone that can run 200m in 25 seconds or less would beat him. Guessing it's 190-195 meters
