Pretty weird seeing this knowing that he already retired from volleyball completely a couple of years ago.

I personally wouldnt call less then 2 years a couple of years :D But yeah idk if he completly retired as well, he had some personal problems but its unlikely for him to come back.

so sad that hes retired, but he did it for his own health and happiness so power to him

Good work, thanks.

He hit the ball at 382 cm, it is not his vertical jump. Let's assume that his hand when standing reaches something like 280 cm, then his vertical jum is 382-280, which 102 cm.

@@theannguyen2336 BY name calling, you showed what you are. Regardless how far above the net he can reach, this is the definition vertical jump. By the way, if he is 6'10', that is 208 cm, his reach could be easily somewhere close, t what I used a a demonstration point.

Interesting debate@@jiritichy7967 . Let's see. I'm 185 cm tall and can just touch top of the net (243 cm), That means my reach is 243-185 = 58 cm. Assume reach is proportional to height. Ben's height per Wikipedia is 203 cm. so, (203/185)x58 = 64 cm. Add that to 203, get 267 cm. That's his purported reach. 382 - 267 = 115 cm, or 45 inches. That's a rare vertical, but not impossible. Does anybody remember Jason Ring? He supposedly had a 50 inch vertical.

The real question in the minds of myself and many others is what happened to this young man? he seemed the natural successor to Matt Anderson. In one clip above he's got braces on both knees. Knee problems? Makes one think, how does a Matt Anderson do it, year after year, match after match with practices inbetween...Personality issues? Is USAV still somewhat homophobic? Anyway, with sadness we say best wishes Ben, we love you, appreciate what you've amazingly done for VB, do what you need to do.

Patch is not human, but huhmann is.

Did he permanently end his career ?

​@@MolodechYou can't block him cuz he will hit above 3.60 meter😂

You don't measure a vertical by the tips of their fingers, You measure it at the bottom of their feel. NO ONE can jump 12 and half feet in the air.

He can reach 12 feet easily cuz he has overpower vertical jump

That is a stupid short
