Kyle Long

Son of former All Pro Football DL Howie Long, Kyle is a LH 1B, P who stands 6'7", 265 lbs.  He will be a HS senior next year and plays both football and baseball.  He has indicated a preference for baseball and has made a verbal commitment to play baseball at Florida State.  

Kyle put on quite a show at the recent Perfect Game showcase in Ohio hitting monster HR's, including one shot estimated at 450 ft.  He was also one of two pitchers at the event to pump out 96 MHP heat from the mound.  

Kyle Long also appears to be an acorn that didn't fall too far from the tree.  Here's some comments about him from BA:

"He plays the game with a zeal that borders on excess"

"His mound presence was as demonstrative as his arm strength.  Long punched his glove when he missed his spot and stomped around the mound between hitters prompting one scout to comare him to.....John Rocker."

"He just overpowers the game right now.  I'm not sure what he is, but with those tools, he's definitely interesting."
