Tim Kurkjian has a good piece up on the Baseball Tonight page about Longo.

Here is an incredible tidbit:

Here’s how good he is: The Rays have a pitching machine that shoots out tennis balls up to 120 mph. Some of the balls have a black mark on them, some have a red mark. Longoria can crank the machine up to 100 mph, then can call out what color is coming to the plate. When he sees a black ball, he pulls it. When he sees a red ball, he hits it to the opposite field. Teammate Carlos Pena was asked how Longoria did that. He smiled and said in amazement, “I have no idea.”
