Trust me, Griffey, Ruth and others have much better swing mechanics than Bonds. It's not even close. Griffey's baseline swing, (on a fastball right down the middle), is pure perfection. Go look at slo mo of Griffey and take note of the bat and arm positions at the start of the forward swing and up to contact. Pure perfection.

If you ever watched the video on why he chokes up on the Bat he made a very great point. He says he doesn't like being Jammed inside so he Chokes up so when he is Jammed you will still hit part of his barrel. That's why he hardly ever breaks his bat. Straight genius
BRO YOU MADE ME WAIT 40 SECONDS TO WATCH A FOUL BALL lmfaoooo i cant stop laughing... great swing and all but he dipped so far he got under it... this is funny af lmao
MichaelMick I couldn't agree more. Put anyone else on steroids and they wont even come close to putting up the numbers he produced. He is one of or is the best player of all time in my mind.
+MichaelMick Well he put up HOF caliber years well before he did drugs, that much is definitely true. 3 MVPs, 8 GGs and nearly 500 HRs before he ever used them.
Well without steroids he wouldn't be the all time leader in home runs, walks, single season home runs, or intentional walks. He would still be the only man ever with 500 HR and 500 SB. He would still have 3 MVP awards and 8 Gold Gloves. But he wouldn't have been 1/50 of the player he was after 1998.
@@INYB I personally don’t know Barry Bonds to say he’s a failure as a human being. Maybe you do. I can say for sure that his career stats and the hitting mechanics displayed on this video are in a whole different level
@@williamhendershot5495 Obviously you don’t like Barry and based on your comments you’re just a discontent fan and not a previous ball player to appreciate this masterpiece of a swing. PEDs as far as I know doesn’t give you hitting mechanics like that.
Barry Bonds, especially in this swing has the most physical perfect power baseball swing. I have studied and written extensively about the physics of power baseball, both hitting, and pitching. Barry's swing is one of the most physically perfect baseball swings I have ever seen (analyzed using the laws of the universe that we are all slaves to). I am starting to change my mind about him being in the Hall of Fame. But I still have reservations because mechanics is not everything. Cat like reflexes, timing, and eyesight are all keener when on steroids. Couple those advantages to a physically perfect power baseball swing might give him the home run record. His impeccable power baseball swing mechanics is what made him so great, and who knows, he could have been naturally endowed with the cat like reflexes and eyesight to put him over the top without the steroids he allegedly used.
It really is a thing of art. Zero wasted movement and the force generated with his hips through the whip of the bat head. I once talked to a professional pitching coach about the toughest player to scout against, he said hands down Barry Bonds- a pitcher could make one mistake in a 3 game series and that ball is getting hit out of the park.
He was great before he ever used drugs, that much is sure. The problem though comes when he's hitting his physical peak in his late 30s. That's just not natural. Without drugs you can expect raw power to peak in the 20s and skill to peak in the 30s with the two converging at about 30 years old.
Reaves MO raw power peaks into your early thirties if you’re a real athlete. Not twenties. Speed is greatest in your twenties. Power is thirties. Don’t believe me, check with US SOF.
They do it on purpose because some folks are still insane baseball purists who act like steroids didn’t exist until Bonds. Bonds was literally the last guy to crack and for good reason. He was tired of seeing far inferior players get all the glory just because they could hit .250 and 50 home runs while doing nothing on defense.
Even in slow motion that bat speed is incredible. One of the very best to ever do it, baseball royalty. People talk that steroid use talk that gave him some sort of edge. But 'roids don't increase hand eye coordination, reaction time, ball selection etc etc. Let's talk about this big ass shoulder pad he was wearing on his right elbow!!!! Being able to crowd the plate like he did and dared you to pitch too close and risk either hitting him and sending him to 1st, remember he stole hella bags. Or him annihilating anything thrown in the zone. That's what gave him the "edge" not steroids. Oh and choking up on the bat!! Devastating.
You certainly wouldn't teach any of Bonds' pre load mechanics...he is filled with *don'ts* lol But right before contact he brings it all together nicely. His hand/eye coordination must have been off the charts!!! 2 most notable things to me is how well he 'walks away from his hands' and how long and nicely his barrel stays in the hitting zone.
What was wrong with his loads on his back leg and hip upper body loaded bat in great position to drag as rope overhead his back shoulder very similar to Ted Williams and Babe Ruth among others for the type of approach he had I would say he is so a great job of maxing out compressive and tension forces
When i watch this video i realize how difficult this swing is. Looks complicated to me. But to him was heaven! Very powerful swing and accurate to the ball. Didnt need to do any PEDs to have success mr Barry
@@eveliovarela2279 Babe Ruth's career ERA was 2.81 and his W-L record was 94-46. Ruth also held the WS record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched until Whitey Ford broke it 40 years later.
My argument is the roids did not have a massive impact on his overall numbers. My reasoning is that is that from 2001-2004 he averaged 189 walks a season. He was getting way less than 500 AB those years because no one would pitch to him. One yea the had less than 400 and was healthy and played everyday

Damn his feet are really close together. I just watched a mike trout swing and you can see all his weight transfer to his front foot. Idk it looks like bonds is leaning back on his back foot his entire swing
Yeah, it's pretty amazing, he rotates more. There's a slight moment where the weight is a bit more towards the front foot but quickly gets back to the back foot once the rotation completes. Look how compact it looked: ruclips.net/video/Eb6jy4giUgI/видео.html
Damn. Look at the bulk on that body. Unreal. So glad to see that baseball has abandoned this bad man, who referred to his team-mates as his supporting cast, and didn't even show up for team photo day. I know a member of Bonds' posse who reported seeing bottles of roids, needles and cotton balls splayed actoss this kitchen counter on a daily basis. And I watched him tell a little black girl that he wouldn't sign her baseball, then directed her to "my people" who would sell her one. I watched this. At least he didn't beat her up like he beat up his wife.
He was the best player of the 90s natty and got zero spotlight because of the home run races. Homie said “fuck this shit” and showed everyone what happens when a true all time talent decides to even the playing field.
Who I this guy man swing no too good not too bad u know he swing at the plate with his bat and he no swing too bad and no too good either I say in the middle
All I hear is ROIDS this ROIDS that. If you don’t have the hitting mechanics you won’t be able to hit a 98mph fastball out of the park even if you’re Mike Tyson or Stallone
Im sorry but that was not a good swing ......first off it's a foul ball already mentioned ...he opens up and practically falls over to one side as he is unbalanced ....love Bonds , but this was not one of his best swings at all....
