VIDEO: David Ortiz Spotted Tossing BP to 14-Year-Old Power-Hitting Son D'Angelo
By Adam Weinrib
Yes, David Ortiz's son hits rockets. Yes, the Red Sox need a first baseman. Any more questions? Just five months removed from the horrific attempt on his life in the Dominican Republic, Big Papi is active once more, and an Instagram video posted by his son D'Angelo proves he's not the only one in the family with quick twitch and strength. Check out this laser show.

Yeah, the kid can hack it.
While any Sox fan worth their salt has to be pumped that Papi is already back up and running, it's definitely worth noting that there's a Class of 2022 draftee in this video who's already looking like a mature power bat.

It's never too early to get your name out there in baseball scouting circles, especially when you're primarily remembered as...well, as a tiny boy who generally accompanied David Ortiz to the World Series.
It worked for Vlad Jr., though. Why not Lil' Papi?
