I believe he also hit one against one of the WBC teams. People were raving all spring training about the shots he would hit during batting practice and inter-squad games. Oh, and just a day or two ago against Double A pitching he hit 2 home runs with 5 rbi's. I would say that's pretty good for a 19 year old.

If Heyward's swing hasn't been revamped since he was drafted, the guy is Delmon Young without a history of power.

But most overrated prospect in recent memory? Come on. Let's be serious. He's shown a ton of power both in batting practice at camp this year and in games this spring. The dude is a beast.
