Hyperbole..?

Anybody catch the ABC broadcast (or the ESPN article) where they mentioned that Alo supposedly would hit 500 balls twice a day with her father. Now I am sure she hit a bunch growing up but that would be like what, 5 or 6 hours total at least even if they were in a cage...

If you had a 1000 ball bucket and didn’t pick any up until the end and took a swing every 10 seconds without a break you could get it done in just under 3 hours....

Reminds me of Spike in the movie Little Giants

Did I mention that it said it started when she was 4...

Anyway...I guess the point is she worked hard. Just found it sort of amusing

Your math is spot on

In HS we had a full sized shopping cart completely full of balls, nowhere near 500, but a ton of balls! Picking up just one of those carts sucked after a round! 1000 balls in a day is insane!

I think after 800 or so her mechanics might start to breakdown

Bet her dad didn't spend much time talking and instructing... just swing away

 

[flogzilla]

If she read hitting threads here she could have done it in half as many swings... or maybe twice as many

After 1k swings, I'd drop the bat, and then my hands - thereby settling that age-old argument of whether the hands are a part of the bat...
