Highest spike reach I've seen since Leonel Marshall. Don't believe his listed spike height on FIVB - he's definitely over 370cm (see 21 sec.) These particular clips are from the 2007 World Cup via www.fivb.org
Soto is just great...the fact that he was the best scorer in the World cup and in the World Championship along with the Panamerican Games makes you give him the whole credit! He is just AMAZING!
How high can he really jump??? Coming from the same high school as Hector Soto, i can say that i had the honor of seeing him jump and bring down a 25 cent coin from the top of a backboard of a basketball goal!!! And there are plenty of witnesses! Dude got serious hops! From Arroyo,PR
@ZADL11 not really hector soto was said to have a 50 inch vert and he's 6'6. Try looking at the game where puertorico plays america. At ont point he gets waist high to the net and he folds to hit the ball to avoid the block. I've never seen MArshall do that.... Soto just knows he can jump and plays it smart. Leonell tries to jump out of the gym on every jump...lol
Giba's 325cm spike is an old mesure... in actual days, he can reach higher than that, but I not sure how much is it... AND that is not World League... IT is World CUP !!
Yeah, I'm 14, touch about 320 cm off an approach, which means my spike is probably around 315. Obviously I'm growing and my jump is going up, so I'm not done. That said, that means there's no way in hell Giba spikes 322 cm. That's BS. 350. Some players like Matey Kazisky and Clay Stanley can spike at 370 even. This is bull.
