Barry Bonds has a nephew. His name is Payton Bonds. And he's putting up massive stats as a Big Ten baseball player so far this season.

The nephew of the San Francisco Giants legend plays at Rutgers University, and he's been incredible so far this season. And for those wondering: He's Bobby Bonds II's son, making him the grandson of the MLB great Bobby Bonds.

These are the stats Payton Bonds is putting up so far:

• .398 batting average
• 8 doubles
• 6 home runs
• 27 RBI
• 9-for-10 stolen bases

MORE: Mike Trout, Tiger Woods, and Superman without his cape

And on Wednesday, he hit a double at 120.7 miles per hour. Look out.

120.7 mph on a DOUBLE… “the hardest-hit ball on a TrackMan radar in recent memory."
