Three words kept running through my head
What a tool
For some reason this came to mind:
Nice crowd for a HS game!! 
Actually, I enjoyed this quite a bit. 
That was funny. The thing that actually bothered me was the band's bland rendition of that Queen song. Too bad the kid can't do as much with the bat when he actually tries to hit the ball.
LOL!
He's into it, isn't he?! ...and how about the band?!
After all that, a weak grounder...and then he "sails" into the dugout from 1st base!
By the way, they have a custom there of blowing a whistle when an unplayable foul ball is hit toward the stands. The first time this American fan heard it, I thought it was the craziest thing I'd ever heard at a ballgame. By the time I'd seen half-a-dozen games, it began to make sense from a crowd-safety perspective.
Not much of a swing. But he does milk his pre-pitch routine, doesn't he?
thanks, that was hilarious. reminds me of a kid my son played with!
I wonder what would have happened had he done that in the 60"s against Gibson, Drysdale, McDowell and maybe others?
No, I really don't wonder. I know what would have happened!

you mean when those guys were in HS?
they probably would have buzzed him in Shetland.
That was awesome. I liked the band too. Looked like he hit the foul ball pretty well. Makes me want to go watch a HS game in Japan. I bet they have some nice noodles or sushi in the snack bar too.
I wonder if that Japanese batter is the towel boy for the football team?

They have peanuts...and in that fastidious society, where little old ladies can be seen sweeping the city sidewalks...they give you a separate bag to put your empty shells in. As neat as it might have been, somehow it just didn't feel right at the ballpark.
Nevertheless, "when in Kumamoto;" so, I respectfully deposited each empty shell in its appointed bag and dropped it in the trash can on my way out. No one was going to accuse me of being an "Ugly {or Messy} American!"
Laughing out LOUD from 1:50 on. Thanks for making my day!!
1:50 LOL awesome.
He certainly brings energy....
Ha Ha...that is hilarious. I bet after a while it would get old though!
They talked about this on Baseball Tonight last night. Rick Sutcliff was asked how he would've responded if a batter had done this while he was pitching, and without hesitation, he said something along the lines of drilling him in the earhole.
My two thoughts were, (a) that kid's in high school? He looks like he's maybe 14; and (b) whatever happened to that kid from Coastal Carolina who made the rounds on the internet a few years ago?
