[@MightyGoat]

Who has the weirdest batting stance?!

[@letsgorodriguez]

Youkilis

[@joshprice6012]

Tony Batista! By far in my opinion. It doesn’t even make sense when you look at it.

[@steve-okent1482]

Julio Franco has a weird one

[@steve-okent1482]

Carney Lansford another weird one

[@anthonymuro4985]

chuck knoblauch hands down one of the weirdest!

[@lasteroid]

This Top-Tier Content 🔥 Need a Part 2 (ft. LaSteroid’s stance👀)

[@smokeygaming3565]

W Lasteriod

[@MightyGoat]

If I use LaSteroid’s stance the ball would literally go through the net, wall and my neighbors house….

[@orphan_eater.1]

hit me harder lasteroid 😩

[@orphan_eater.1]

@@user-sp5mw3sl5t thats the point

[@trainguy_gaming]

@@MightyGoat Love the video, when will Road To the Show return. I miss new episodes

[@ozzmania08]

Everybody forgot about Julio Franco. Julio is a Dominican former professional baseball player and coach, who is a hitting coach for the farm team of the Lotte Giants of the KBO League. He spent most of his playing career in Major League Baseball (MLB), entering the major leagues in 1982 and last appearing in 2007, at which time he was the oldest active big league player. During that stretch, Franco also spent two seasons playing in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and one season playing in the KBO. Batting average .298 Hits 2,586 Home runs 173 Runs batted in 1,194

[@MrNobody91]

He’s who i literally just commented saying lol

[@WVMOTH]

Yes The Boa constrictor

[@xjandro80x]

Julio was the first person who came to mind when he mentioned unique batting stance.

[@BigJackMack]

Ya know there’s a reason he wasn’t mentioned

[@joshphillips5383]

Griffey jrs stance and swing was the best ever!!! So smooth and he more of an uppercut motion swing but when you watch his swing in slow motion it is poetry

[@thisguy8373]

Griffey's stance is not werid, way to miss the objective 😂

[@wind_runner6836]

Agreed, perfectly explained.

[@MatthewRossNerd]

I think you got Griffey's stance/swing wrong. First off, he had this little arm pump while waiting for the pitch. HIs elbow would go up and down. Second, his swing ended always ended only holding on to the bat with his right hand, and the arc of his swing would end the the bat lower. Oh and one more thing... Smooth. Everybody knows his swing was silky smooth. Check out his official logo which shows his swing. The swing arc was upward, but came back down behind him with the single hand. I'd be interested to find out if that made a difference in how it felt for you.

[@SilentWatcher12]

Tony Batista had the most unique stance I ever saw. He had both feet on the back line of the box and turned his waist to be in a hitting position.

[@seanahearn2884]

I came here to say exactly this. Man used that weird stance to hit a broken bat hr at skydome.

[@Corn-Pop.]

Nomar Garciaparra had a real weird one complete with his obsessive glove adjustments between pitches every time he stepped out of the box

[@hauntedhaunter6148]

He was incredibly superstitious. He drove the same route to Fenway every day😂

[@Shinobi33]

His stance and swing weren't that weird. But the stuff in-between pitches was OCD greatness

[@anthonylombardo1261]

@@hauntedhaunter6148must have been awful mileage when he played for the cubs.

[@mattjohnson8266]

The routine for sure, but the STANCE itself wasn’t that bad. Youk’s stance was twice as weird with 200% less weird routine

[@Shinobi33]

@@mattjohnson8266 that's what I said. The stance is pretty standard

[@martinsly9624]

I'd include Julio Franco, Mickey Tettleton, Jay Buehler, Moises Alou in the mix for weird batting stances!!

[@Jarodactyl]

Hey bro, just a heads up, in my experience, MLB doesn't copystrike. I use tons of MLB footage in almost every video and haven't once got a single strike. Just sharing! Love the content brother.

[@christophergerics]

He lives after 9x9x9

[@ryanrome9301]

You could do a whole show on Ripken. His seemed to change every other day.

[@joshblack4291]

Ripken with the bat resting on his shoulder.

[@brendan9868]

Cal’s great, got to meet him at one of his youth baseball tournaments when I was a kid. Super chill and nice guy, he even gave me $20 to walk his dog for a bit lol

[@RobertReital]

Maybe that's why he was so good. Opposing teams couldn't get a scouting report on him because he kept changing his stance or appeared to

[@screwball43]

You need to watch and try Mickey Tettleton and Tony Phillips. Both have a very unique stance.

[@AlanG512]

Ha. I just mentioned Mickey before reading the comments. A stance necessitated by all the pine tar!

[@TheHollomap]

They still load usually right? So that is just pre pitch and wind up they don't usually swing from that bat position right? Or am I remembering wrong?

[@Dustin.Born.]

Cal Ripken Jr: Video: _32 hours long_

[@vincenorman7837]

Pujols around 2010 in his prime. Later in his career he didn't squat down as much as his legs wore down.

[@gabepollock1641]

I used a version of Albert’s stance playing sandlot ball. If I got ahold of one in my sweet spot, it was going flying.

[@DMDvideo10]

Go back in history. Dwight Evans on the Red Sox in the 70s and 80s had a weird stance.

[@acehigh79]

Missing Julio Franco for weird swings. Ryne Sandberg had an amazing swing. I modeled my personal swing after his. And I dispise the cubs lol

[@109strpks]

Do pitching deliveries next! See which one you can get fastest pitch with.

[@AlanG512]

Yeah, let's see him do the Ryan leg kick.

[@talonmiller9744]

Willie Stargell!! His whole batting style was strange. Big ol windmills, then a few fast ones right before the pitch came

[@andrewpellinen6542]

Julio Franco for sure. Also Willians Astudillo, La Tortuga baby!

[@leifopstad2972]

You should have done Tony Batista for sure

[@rocknjock872]

"Here's Ken Griffey Jr.....ground out to short" LOL. No! Don't do him like that lol

[@thisguy8373]

Griffey doesn't belong in a werid batting stances get over hit

[@joeyteter9383]

Also, would’ve loved to see Julio Franco’s stance. I loved it so much as a kid that I used it for a while. It was really hard to use in game lol

[@stevenkramer3431]

You want to see weird? Look up a guy by the name of Garth Iorg, an infielder for the Blue Jays in the 80s. He leaned so far back that he basically had to stand up into the pitch.

[@dankenstineofficial3244]

Corbin Carroll has a unique stance

[@oculuscircus7440]

This is a video idea I’ve been waiting someone to do thanks for fulling my dreams Mighty

[@zachnicolas795]

Hunter Pence looking like he drank 8 pots of coffee was pretty weird

[@davidtitorivera]

You should try the Mickey Tettleton and Julio Franco batting stance!

[@silntstl]

Sweetest swings in the modern era, Ken Griffey Jr. and Will the thrill Clark.

[@thisguy8373]

Smh, no one cares, Griffey's swing is not werid yall fail the easiest things

[@samuelzhang5741]

You should’ve done devers. He has a swing that makes every ball he hits look like a dinger. No wonder why he just won a silver slugger.

[@christiankopec2342]

I always loved mike aviles’ stance. The way he flicked that bat was weirdly awesome

[@86shadowpenguin]

Julio Franco.. Juan Gonzales.. so many others to try!! Great vid though

[@jeffreyharrop8856]

I always loved Will Clark and Eric Davis batting stance as a kid.

[@user-ky5td8go1v]

Mighty I loved this do more.ty cobb was weird stance

[@bull_Tattoo]

Well we know why Youk was sweating buckets the man was playing with broken hands his whole career!

[@spaghettisauce445]

now try the batting stance of the players that have the most home runs ever

[@MutedGrowl]

As a kid my coaches wouldn’t let me use the Sheffield stance, but to this very day it’s my wiffle ball stance.

[@teezwilliams22]

When u say greatest swing of all time, immediately the Kid popped into my head! Jr 100% greatest swing, absolutely beautiful

[@tinailges8131]

Do the greatest batting stances next.

[@joshblack4291]

Cal ripken stance next. I used to emulate it in practice, but had my own stance in the game.

[@CapAnson12345]

I used to copy weird batting stances when I played much to the chagrin of my little league coach. Mel Ott was my favorite.

[@scentualobsessions]

Another good one to try is Andre Dawson, Julio Franco And as far as best batting stance try Ryne Sandberg, I felt like His batting stance gave me the best timing on pitches

[@Chase0370]

Juan Gonzales from Texas Rangers back in the day . Loved his stance . Griffey had a good one too.

[@doracalvillo4994]

Nice video mighty part 2 please

[@TheBourbonWrench]

I’m going to do a drinking game where I drink every time he says “weird one.” Edit; adding a second drink when he says “frick” up the ante.

[@regmiester90]

Next video idea Weird pitching windups. Here's looking at you Jonny Cueto

[@christopherdavis5516]

Julio Franco has to be top 5 strangest stances!!! Chuck Knoblauch was very different too.

[@Realistic316]

you missed one thing with Bagwell… he always twisted his hands and squeezed the bat, to the point where you could hear the batting gloves against the bat….. and Craig Counsell was my favorite, he would just basically reach up as high as he could with the bat😂

[@berniestewart1738]

The Bagwell stance is a good two strikes approach.

[@johnwayne7383]

I think, if anything, you just showed me that Bagwell got TORQUE! ⚾️🔥

[@_gr1nchh]

Try to hit the infamous 106 pitch from Chapman :D

[@KingdomMindedMinistry]

This is hilarious 😂. Best Lefty swing: Griffey Jr. Best Righty swing: Mark McGwire

[@thisguy8373]

No..best steroids mcgwire...and griffey does not have a dang werid swing. Smh

[@baltimorejay_1]

My favorite batting stance by far, is Mike trouts, he just stands tall and does that tip toe rhythm step

[@vasman132]

Edgar Martinez, Juan Gonzalez. Andres Galarraga as well.

[@gregtasos2471]

Yunel Escobar for sure! Gotta see a part 2

[@nateb.chilling6998]

One factor not considered (unless I missed it) is bat size

[@shadowguy20004]

I want to see Chipper Jones, A-Rod, Pujols, Trout, Hamilton, Sizemore. As for more weird stances try Andruw Jones & Julio Franco, Shawn Green, Trot Nixon

[@wilrivera2668]

... Julio Franco. Also, Willie Stargell did the bat wiggle before Sheffield.

[@thomespinos4148]

Thanks Mighty!

[@chrissizemore8705]

I'd say you covered most of the strangest ones. I would say maybe if you do a part 2, Eric Davis has a really weird stance, so that's one to look for.

[@Corn-Pop.]

Nomar Garciaparra and his glove fiddling habit between pitches

[@John-we9io]

Needa crowd the plate more for the Youk stance, he wasn’t called the Greek god of Walks for nothing haha

[@joenagle7177]

Need to do Phil Plantier. Also, a righthanded swing can never replicate a lefty swing like Griffey. Great lefty swings have and will always be smoother than a righty.

[@blakmastadon]

I do have Craig Counsel as the second weirdest batting stance ever. It's like he's trying to reach for the heavens for the Lord's strength before swinging the bat.

[@averygaming8707]

Banger video idea brother

[@Hatedj]

Chuck knoblock batting stance is legendary!

[@jbean9564]

I swear these dudes just making up the most agrejust stances for the content

[@blakmastadon]

I didn't necessarily model my batting stance after these two pro players, but my batting stance from what I've been told is a cross between Gary Sheffield with a little bit of Jeter.

[@rafrod8606]

Galarraga, julio franco, Tony Batista, Jay buhner, albert belle, Mickey tettlenton

[@ryancampbell8645]

How did some of these guys get past little league without some coach making them modify their stance? Then they got through college/minors, and eventually, the Show looking insane in the box. Bags is a hall-of-famer. It's just wild.

[@MalteZocher-ol7tr]

Need a Mighty Goat Baseball Bat Bros collab

[@theoturnip3692]

14:52 I was about to say that you have the weirdest batting stance (as a joke) but then I saw the batting stance and it IS the best of all time. I might have the weirdest batting stance. My legs are close together not bending, my arms are barely out, I hit lefty and when I swing, I let go of my bottom hand...... and then hit my butt with the bat.

[@pahowitzer446]

Some of Cal Ripken JR's stances were interesting.

[@Captain_Shwa]

Tony Batista has by far the weirdest batting stance of all time.

[@martinsly9624]

Ted Williams and Ken Griffey Jr. had the most beautiful baseball swings of all time IMO

[@mike840621]

Joe Morgan with his chicken wing and what Ted Williams said was the worst batting stance he's ever seen...Dwight Evans.

[@ankhuri1353]

I thought you were gonna get a couple swings of Mighty Goat VI in there, maybe even an obnoxious bat flip to celebrate.

[@billdelfera8580]

I think the weirdest part about all these batting stances is how you step inward instead of outward when you swing LOL other than Jeff Bagwell I think most baseball players step outward a little bit when they swing but your feet get closer after you step😂

[@Ryno_757]

Kudos for giving Bagwell a shot. Fairly certain he sat down more, top of the thighs parallel to the ground more.

[@VV1CK3D]

David Justice had a nice swing

[@symptomofsouls]

I modeled my batting stance after Kevin Youkilis (greatest stance of all time) and somehow managed to make it even more messed up. But I still crush the ball every time

[@Chronis67]

There was one time that I was doing a pickup game and during BP, I just had no timing. After my second time swinging, I just decided to start doing weird batting stances. Tried a Youkilis stance and absolutely crushed the ball. I kept it going during the game and it kept working. It became my slump breaking technique after that.

[@billy_bonka2140]

Can’t wait for the sim!

[@kevinsiedenburg4955]

Phil Plantier had the, hands down, craziest stance ever. There is no question. No competition.

[@blakmastadon]

Weirdest batting stance ever? It's simple. Jim Leyritz.

[@spaceman8671]

carney Lansford and Eric Davis have intriguing swings

[@yackohoopy]

If you want to talk about weird baseball stances, there was none weirder than Julio Franco. Check out his stance.

[@Nick9Three]

Cody Bellinger has one of the smoothest swings.

[@BaseballNerd753]

Day 18 of asking for a video about you using random things for batting

[@briancensner4313]

Tony Batista is the most bizarre. He started by facing the pitcher

[@fambam7979]

You forgot about Will Clark. One of the sweetest swing.

[@blakmastadon]

Julio Franco played for my Braves. His batting stance is text book compared to Leyritz.

[@seanmcnally4818]

Cal Ripken Jr. is "The Man Of A Thousand Stances."

[@acrobaticvideos6178]

Need some Julio Franco, Tony Bautista, Moises Alou, Tsuyoshi Shinjo, and Juan Gonzalez

[@necksmalone2689]

Idk why no one paid attention to Chuck Knoblauch... that thing was NUTS!!!

[@Invictus-Solaris]

I have Manny Ramirez as one of the best batting stances.

[@Dodgers_2]

The art of the stance.

[@pringals420]

Man Jeff Bagwell was way lower than that. Me and my brother used to make fun of him on how he would be sitting on the ground pretty soon if he gets any lower.

[@shanetrain90]

Chuck Knoblauch had a weird one as well

[@Shinobi33]

If Greg Councel and the cricket stance from Tony Batista's stances aren't included here you failed.

[@delagheezy1992]

Mike aviles ,coco crisp, Mark Teixeira batting stance are weird lol

[@patrickkanas3874]

The Youkilis swings may have hurt, but you went two for three with them

[@ThatBoyMarcus]

PLEASE tell me you did Aaron Rowands stance

[@mikeypl7]

Joe McEwing easily had the weirdest stance of all time.
