Two-Year-Old Prodigy Amazes with 'Divine Swing'

TOKYO, Jan 28 (News On Japan) - A two-year-old boy has hit the big time, not only captivating audiences with his batting skills but also his remarkable pitching talent.

In a broadcast last week, the boy's impressive batting skills were showcased. But that's not all he can do!

His brother cheered, "Strike! Batter out!" as the young prodigy displayed a spectacular pitching form, complete with a high leg lift.
