been watching the game for 30 years and Bonds is still BY FAR the best hitter. almost a 500% on base percentage. very few pitches in the strike zone, but capitalized when it was. He almost never swung at a ball

He should not be in Cooperstown and you probably can credit substance use for maybe half his HRs. However, steroids don’t have an impact on a player’s ability to see the ball and make solid contact.

[@namnam-wc4zi]

Amazing! I've never seen Barry talking about hitting with such enthusiasm. When Ichiro played in Marlins with Bonds as hitting coach, Ichiro mentioned Bonds ``He is the first man spoke to me about the secret reason of my hitting routine.'' Ichiro showed the respect and dignity as ''Barry Bonds a genius''.

Whenever I watch a game from a different era like the 80's, the early 90's, u see a significant difference in the game, the hitters, their approach at the plate. Significantly more balls in play, and hitting in all directions back then vs now. More action on the bases, it was a more exciting brand of ball personally.

[@dpdip]

There’s a big potential for a media niche you could corner with low overhead production costs with high ROI. That mid 90s - mid 2000’s nostalgia. Yourself, combined with any star from that era has the potential for high views per mile. Merch relating to that era, Jomboy style breakdowns of big moments from that era, and basically an entire media/merch apparatus relating to it. Make the fans feel involved (even though they might not be).

[@willieansley3688]

great video and i think it is important to hear what barry said. He is talking about how you prepare to be a great hitter. i do think it is a difference in practice swings and game swings just because of the angle of the pitches coming at you and also how to keep yourself from getting into bad habits.

[@Oath1789]

Barry's "down" swing looks nothing like his homerun swings where he has more of a Ferris wheel

[@nicholasmancuso2481]

Great video! I think the real gem is in what Barry said about a perfect practice swing v reality in game. I've yet to hear anyone verbalize that and consequently it's been THE arguement between the old and new hitting style supporters. Many short to ball haters argue that while the old time elite hitters think they are hitting down and staying short, they are really launching. And yes, video largely proves that true. What Barry said there was that elite hitters naturally launch. That it's easy to launch. So the swing thought of hitting down and the practice of hitting down, will counteract that natural game instinct to launch and therefore result in a more consistent swing rather than an uber launch swing. A swing that is on plane longer, which no one can argue results in more and better contact. I've found that slumps follow streaks because a player keeps doing more and more of what made them successful during that streak, resulting in flaws that are produced from doing too much of a good thing.

I feel worst for Barry. He only used 2-4 years of his entire career. And get this. Steroids weren’t even banned from the game and everyone else was using them too. No one talks about this. Only because Bonds did so well, it was all cheating. No, Bonds only started using because everybody else was. Dude had 40 hr and 40 stolen bases in 98 and no one cared. Barry definitely got screwed way harder then everyone else. And Dusty Baker took his only WS ring away from him on top of it all. The only reason people say Bonds cheated was because the FBI conducted an illegal investigation that was actually thrown out by a judge. But before it was thrown out they said Bonds lied(with no proof). That’s why Bonds was lynched by baseball. MLB never investigated Bonds. Especially because steroids weren’t illegal in MLB until later 2000’s after FBI went on a morality parade with millions of tax dollars they could have used to feed homeless people or who even knows. Now they just fixed the balls to make the game more exciting. The whole system is a joke and Bonds and other steroid era players got the shit end of the stick. They have made roids banned forever ago and not let players use them and even promote the use through glorifying Conseco and Big Mac during 98. Then when a black player breaks records the baseball racists/purest hate it. Hank used meth. They hated when he broke the record too. Hank certainly wasn’t clean when playing ball. He used greenies his entire career. That’s a lot worse then Bonds using a few years of his career imo and it’s even close.
