High schooler Elijah Cabell bashed a ball off the Marlins home run sculpture during a HR Derby

I'm not sure about your high school experience, but mine was mostly filled with pimple anxiety and trying to Ferris Bueller my way out of class. But Elijah Cabell is having a bit better time as he's literally bashing baseballs off the Marlins home run sculpture
Cabell, a third baseman/outfielder at TNXL Academy, was competing in the High School Home Run Derby at Marlins Park before the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on Saturday when he pulled off the feat that not many big leaguers can even pull off: 

That's not off the base of the sculpture, either, but way up the side. Unfortunately for Cabell, he was unable to advance to the finals which will take place before Monday's T-Mobile Home Run Derby. High school finalists Noah Naylor and Nolan Gorman will square off for the title.
