I Tried Every Weird MLB Batting Stance

[@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 😩

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

[@Mr.Inman14]

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

[@APPALACHIAN_MOTH]

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

[@skinnie2838]

You did a batting stance vid but didnt do Mickey Tettleton? Tf?

[@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.

[@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.

[@skinnie2838]

You did a batting stance vid but didnt do Mickey Tettleton? Tf?

[@High-Overlord-Snarffie-Pug]

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

[@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

[@boomboombilly342]

Are you going out of your way to completely skip the load portion of these swings?

[@BaseballNerd753]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@rokka222]

Everything was great EXCEPT for your Griffey Jr, which isn’t even close. Drop the elbow by your chest. You must know by now that KZbin comments only exist to find your flaws. Keep up the good work

[@martinsly9624]

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

[@leifopstad2972]

You should have done Tony Batista for sure

[@dankenstineofficial3244]

Corbin Carroll has a unique stance

[@HamsterK37]

Had to quit watching at Carew. I couldn't handle you bastardizing these stances

[@lappbros]

Claire is the true hero in this

[@supere13]

Lol fr

[@frederickbradley8255]

Literally every stance was wrong 😅 you gotta watch the way they swing the your finishing them wrong.

[@delagheezy1992]

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

[@lindseymccoy1633]

I might get canceled for saying this, but one Soto has the weirdest one

[@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.

[@ClemTig2014]

Why was albies not in this video?

[@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

[@Invictus-Solaris]

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

[@Dustin_Platt]

Cal Ripken Jr: Video: _32 hours long_

[@spaghettisauce445]

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

[@dougschutt1385]

Only real mighty fans can like this

[@bull_Tattoo]

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

[@NateB.ChillinG]

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

[@dianazhu8346]

Kevin youkilis has the wierdest

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@davidtitorivera]

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

[@Rj-vv9lv]

I mean, Eric Davis’s swing was kind of weird

[@EckfordStreetStudioESS]

It’s reading the bat speed

[@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.

[@jacobfarida7245]

Should've done Soto

[@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.

[@mariolevasseur731]

YAZ!

[@DMDvideo10]

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

[@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.

[@High-Overlord-Snarffie-Pug]

Nomar Garciaparra and his glove fiddling habit between pitches

[@EckfordStreetStudioESS]

Put Claire into the pitching thing to read it

[@EckfordStreetStudioESS]

It’s reading the bat speed

[@MForMarlon]

Tony Batista

[@marcusjackson6377]

Jim Leyritz

[@_gr1nchh]

Try to hit the infamous 106 pitch from Chapman :D

[@zachnicolas795]

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

[@coachl7771]

I played against Youk in college his stance was 1000 times weirder at Cincinnati then after he got to the show

[@MrNobody91]

0:45 That’s the Dave Portnoy actually

[@dimeknoproductions9309]

Ken Griffey the best ever!!

[@chriskirkland1911]

Bro what about Tony Batista

[@martinsly9624]

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

[@fredcasdensworld]

Here's where you fail in comparison to the batting stance guy who appeared on Letterman like 15 years ago: you're looking at the stance only, but not factoring in the mechanics.... but what can I expect from a David Ortiz fan

[@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

[@ronnierocha42]

When i played amateur baseball at the age of 38, I went into a slump. Started my 3rd season going 0-12 with 5 strikeouts. I felt my swing slow down, so i did the wide stance with no step, just a fast turn of the hips. After that, my next 6 at bats, I went 4-6 with 4 doubles and no strikeouts. All of the hits went further than I usually hit. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work. I ended up hitting .323 that season.

[@robertwright5647]

What about Julio Franco? Ty Cobb also batted with a his hand’s apart.

[@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.

[@gretchman]

All love, but that is a garbage Griffey stance/swing 😂 Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner are two Mariners with definitely weirder stances. Nomar had the weird stance everyone tried to replicate when I was a kid (apart from Griffey)

[@teezwilliams22]

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

[@christopherdavis5516]

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

[@ProNinjaHax]

Griffey Jr swing is 100x better than Ortiz and I like Ortiz. Griffey swing was so smooth

[@blakmastadon]

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

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Do a future video like this and do Lenny Dykstra and his toilet seat stance. For a good stance+swing, you could also try Jon Olerude and that Sweet Swing he was famous for.

[@necksmalone2689]

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

[@johnwayne7383]

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

[@X9erfan81X]

I'm surprised nobody said Bill Mueller as a weird stance. I don't think there was anybody with a lower stance imo. Thought?

[@fabiolong4046]

Mickey Tettleton, Julio Franco. Come on dude so many. Why don't you try and do what Vladimir Guerrero did and try to hit anything and everything. Now that would be cool.

[@knockout3630]

Tony Batista is extremely weird I don’t think bagwell and Griffey batting stances aren’t to weird

[@regmiester90]

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

[@brettwalker4915]

Your Youk form is way off. The stance is close but the form is lacking. Good video none the less. Youk is not an easy guy to copy.

[@symbolhunterz8093]

Craig council never moved the bat when he was extended. Js bro And your Griffey Jr stance is completely wrong lol

[@MegaRockstar5150]

You know what you're not doing, which is very important is ,,,, where they exactly stood in the batters box , some stood closer to the inside and some further from the middle .

[@Shinobi33]

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

[@MrNobody91]

We need Julio Franco as well lol

[@86shadowpenguin]

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

[@andrewpellinen6542]

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

[@InQuickWeTrust]

Lmao this guy is terrible 😂 “I’m gonna easily hit this one 500 feet” … 70 mph 💀💀💀

[@donmurray9207]

Ken Griffey Junior Has the prettiest Swing in baseball history

[@thisguy8373]

The best hitter was Babe ruth. The best batter was ty cobb...its known... do not care about the best swing, like most just want griffey to shine.. though this is about werid stance's smh some comments

[@ankhuri1353]

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

[@Ryno_757]

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

[@mike840621]

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

[@blakmastadon]

I don't advise the Jim Leyritz batting stance as a tik Tok challenge. Trust me. Don't do it!

[@OCDFarming]

I used Youks batting stance one time as a joke against my cousin who was pitching in house league and kid you not smacked the biggest moonshot of my life! I tried it again 3 times after that and struck out all 3 times

[@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

[@gonuts4donuts]

Dick McAuliffe is another good “weird” batting stance

[@John-we9io]

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

[@jebhated2175]

Forgetting Babe Ruth's stance. It's pretty weird.

[@noah-tm9we]

Love it! God bless you all. God loves you all! God bless all your family’s and friends

[@abrahamornelas160]

Everybody is built different. Molds made individually.

[@justinmason626]

Pujols had such a wide stance. I think the best stance was Chipper Jones.

[@yackohoopy]

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

[@blakmastadon]

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

[@dhLord64]

Nah, Mike Aviles has the best one. Swings the bat around like a propeller.

[@seanmcnally4818]

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

[@iconpoet]

Andres Galarraga Moises Alou Pete Rose Ryan Klesko Fred McGriff Brian Jordan Cal Ripken Jr All come to mind

[@ItIsNot1984]

Tony Batista had a batting stance that looked as if the pitcher was standing on 3rd base. That guy was a freak.
