We bet we know who this high school baseball players’ favourite MLB star is.

Just days removed from Jose Bautista’s bat-flip against the Atlanta Braves, a high school baseball player by the name of Chris Turco took a page out of Joey Bats book.

With his team, Gloucester Catholic, down 7-3, Turco cracked a no-doubter into the bleachers. After a few steps, he releases one of the most epic (and high) bat flips into the face of his opponents.

The solo homer didn’t exactly dent into the oppositions lead, and Turco’s teammates appeared to take the brunt of the punishment.

@rich_hofmann @ryanlawrence21 It was a monster homer, but was a solo shot and his team was losing. Next two guys plunked. First, not sure. Second, just a bad pitch
