Japan's home run king might be on the verge of changing his name to "Stanford's home run king."
Rintaro Sasaki, the left-handed power hitter who set the Japanese high school home run record (14) while playing at Hanamaki Higashi High School (Hanamaki, Iwate, Japan), has made a big first impression in the States.
Watch how far his first collegiate home run goes—if you can keep track of it.
Listed at No. 15 on the D1 Baseball Preseason Top 50 First Basemen, Sasaki's power at the high school level translates at the top tier of NCAA baseball without growing pains.
