There is no question that Babe Ruth is baseball’s most well known and revered Power Hitter. The POWER SHOWCASE has teamed with Linda Ruth Tosetti, the Babe’s granddaughter, to present two prestigious awards – the “Spirit of Babe Ruth Award“ and the “Colossus of Clout Award“.

Spirit of Babe Ruth Award

Established during the Fourth Annual POWER SHOWCASE International High School Home Run Derby, the “Spirit of Babe Ruth Award” is presented in honor of Babe Ruth, the only athlete to have the ability to be a six tool player: hitting, hitting for power, speed, fielding, throwing, and pitching. This award is given to the POWER SHOWCASE participant who exemplifies ability, strength, leadership, passion, and respect for the game of baseball.

Colossus of Clout Award

The “Colossus of Clout” award, named after the moniker given to the 40 inch, 54 ounce bat Babe Ruth used in game play from 1916 to 1922, is a replica of the Babe’s bat. Babe hit over 500 foot home runs on a daily basis and a few even over 600 ft., one in particular at Battery Park in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

This award is given to the player who hits the furthest home run overall. Past recipients of this award include Bryce Harper from Las Vegas, Nevada who hit a 502′ home run in January 2009 and Travis Harrison of Aliso Viejo, California who hit a 504′ home run in January 2010.
