Vlad Guerrero Jr. hit an opposite-field homer off a tee before crushing two mammoth dingers in a real game
By now, you're probably aware that Vlad Guerrero has a son, Vlad Jr., and that this son is also incredibly good at baseball. Vlad the Younger is MLB Pipeline's No. 3 overall prospect, he's currently setting Double-A on fire, he can hit balls out of stadiums and he hasn't even turned 20 years old yet.
You probably don't need even more evidence that Vlad Jr. is ridiculously, impossibly strong, but if you do -- or if you just want something to tide you over until we finally see him in the big leagues -- here's a video in which he hits an opposite-field home run ... off a tee ... after telling a crew filming an upcoming episode of MLB Network's Play Ball that he would do just that:
Vlad just called his shot and went deep off the tee for @MLBNetwork. Carlos Pena approves. ? pic.twitter.com/SrcMlYvdjY

Excuse us, we need to think about what we were doing at age 19 and then lie down for a while.
Mere hours after this absurd power display to the opposite field, Vlad Jr. showed everybody what he can do in regular game action -- like blast homers off hotels adjacent to the ballpark:
Wow!! Vlad Jr. did it again. Second home run of the night, this one off the hotel! ?? https://t.co/XV4W7L4U70 pic.twitter.com/j5ImMhl8uq

Just ridiculous.
None of this is a surprise for Dad, by the way:
he's just doing what he's learned since he was toddler https://t.co/apWNTvG5Mz
