Sweetest Swing?

Re: Sweetest Swing?

Pujols does make it look easy, but his stance is so awkward looking. It looks as if he's trying to pinch a loaf...

Barry has the smoothest swing...he makes it look so easy, and the way he comes out of his stance makes it even better.

Although hes not quite there yet, Joe Mauer has a real sweet effortless swing, while showing power. However, even though it is anything but effortless and smooth my favorite swing is Vlads violent hacks

I have to go with Garret Anderson. Fluid and surprisingly explosive.

Alright, guys, I'm going to separate what I'm going to say as the sweetest swing and the best swing.

The sweetest swing is the one that looks the greatest to you, that looks beautiful and graceful (basically, that means that Sosa wouldn't be in this category).

The best swing is the swing that gets the results, the reason for his swinging method that gives him such great authority when up at the plate (basically, that means that Sosa wouldn't be in this category).


For the sweetest swing, for me it's a tie between Ken Griffey Jr. and Jim Edmonds. Even though they aren't really the role models to look at to see how to swing a bat, they just look so graceful when they swing, and it usually looks better if they hit the long ball doing it. Normally, a huge extension, with a big one-handed uppercut. While that's probably exactly the opposite of what you're taught to do while batting, it just looks so great.

For the best swing, it's Barry Bonds, and there's no reason to even think of a second, because they are so far off of the charts, it's not even funny. Bonds just has such a short, compact swing with terrific power and drive through the ball. Also, he conserves it, I think that helps a lot, too. Many people have to remember, that Bonds only gets about 6 or 7 pitches to see in an entire series, only about that many chances to swing. It's amazing how long he can wait, yet start his swing right before the ball reaches the plate.
