You’ve probably seen a softball player hit a home run before — but not like this

I don't understand how he even saw the ball.

Yes, that headline you read is real. This is definitely one of the more impressive feats in all of baseball or softball of any kind. The batter's name is Renaud Lefort, who plays for Montreal's Les 4 Chevaliers. When he lined up at the plate, he was in the left-handed batter's box, but was set up to hit right-handed — meaning his back was to the plate.

He swings backwards and completely nails it out of the park. The amount of force — and skill this guy had to use to even make contact with the ball is incredibly impressive. His hit ended up being be a three-run homer.
