This Softball Player’s Backwards Home Run Swing Is Pretty God Damn Impressive

I play softball on Sunday mornings, and I’ve ran across my fair share of really good players. Softball isn’t difficult, but being good at it isn’t that easy either. Most of the time you’re playing against a team with four outfielders, which greatly diminishes your chance for a base hit. Some guys are good, some are bad, and then you have a guy like this, who hits a home run swinging backwards. That it was fast pitch makes it more impressive, but being able to do this while any ball is being pitched to you is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. I’m also only batting backwards from here on out.
