Meet Luke Franzoni, Xavier's home run king: 'The intent, the aggression, the bat speed'

Power can come from unlikely places.

In Luke Franzoni's case, his power arrived at Xavier University in an email he sent to Billy O'Conner, Xavier's head baseball coach.

"I get probably 100 emails a day from kids that have videos and I really try to watch every single one of them," said O'Conner. "I clicked on Luke's email and he put a couple of good swings on balls, but it wasn't a big swing."

O'Conner went on with the rest of his day and he decided to take another look at Franzoni, and this time, he watched the entire video.
