MLB Weirdest Batting Stances

[@ainsleydwyer9950]

I love how their stance BEFORE the pitch is different but then they just go normal

[@-mais]

Ikr? Must feel at least a little uncomfortable

[@alexcastro7339]

That's why it's called a "stance" and not the "swing"...... No one can hit the ball having their bat on their shoulder.. or waving the bat high in the air

Some are very smooth transitions, the last one is a good example.

[@leecowell8165]

I loved it too. he couldn't keep that bat still. great hitter. he could run too.

[@LanzaNation]

Some of them are fairly normal looking stances. There are far stranger ones that you could have chosen.

[@baseballplayer5556]

*Albert Pujols what is wrong with his

[@eauhomme]

Jay Buhner comes to mind. Stood almost straight up, feet close together, bat held in front of him almost straight up and down.

[@dustinglasier6417]

@@baseballplayer5556 Nothing wrong at all, but his stance was highly unusual when he first started playing in the bigs. Virtually nobody else outside of Jeff Bagwell was keeping their feet past shoulder width, and everybody was either taught to step in the bucket or slide step to start your swing. It was quite a revelation during its time and by 2003 every single kid on our baseball team was being taught his swing as fundamental.

[@joelmilten]

@@eauhomme thank you!!!! I’ve been looking all over the comments of this and another ‘weird stance’ video trying to find someone mentioning him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody stand or hold the bat like that unless they were out of the hitting box or not ready to hit yet. I think because he played in Seattle and wasn’t one of the well known HOF’s from there, he isn’t talked about as much.

[@eauhomme]

@@joelmilten I never understood how he could make contact that way. His eyes dropped several inches as the pitch came in.

[@ZhangtheGreat]

I'll always remember Chuck Knoblauch's stance: he angled the bat 45 degrees backwards as if his wrists were completely relaxed holding it.

[@josecherena8791]

What about Ruben Sierra? He always looked like he was throwing the ball rather than hitting it. He had one of my all time favorite batting stands.

[@jokersinurface]

Sierra had a high leg kick in his early days.

[@Coachlen24]

Jay Buhner was the most intimidating batting stance ever....

[@OwYouMoron]

Honestly, Craig Counsell should have multiple appearances in this video. Just get rid of the more normal stances and replace them with a Counsell highlight.

[@SummeRulz]

OwYouMoron it might be because he wasn't as successful with that "throw it to me" arm raise. It looks like it' be hard to do, but he did make it look easy. ?

[@RigelOrionBeta]

I remember one commentator likening his stance to someone cleaning their chimney.

[@mpaulm]

Batista's is the oddest to me.

[@user-jq7ld3wj3r]

Edwin Encarnacio's stance is wierd

[@TheCurtainLift]

LoganVgamez 549 he mean Tony Batista not Jose Bautista lol

[@costamesars3490]

Youkilis for me, never seen anyone hold their bat in two different places horizontally over their head. That said it's also one of my favorite stances for that reason

[@KTF0]

I can imagine it took a while to time. Imagine all of those moving parts and trying to swing at a 99 mph fastball? Batista, Julio Franco, Tettleton and Tony Phillips had the most unique stance to me. I could've sworn Tettleton held the bat near his belt buckle. That might be my memory exaggerating it.

[@masterjedi5510]

Rod Carew is a name that doesn't get mentioned enough when it comes to hitting! Absolutely phenomenal baseball player! I think he made the All-Star team nearly every year he played!

[@user-vg2ut8lp9e]

I feel like guys like Gwynn and Carew don’t get the credit they deserve. Power or no power, those guys were tremendous hitters

[@user-vg2ut8lp9e]

Look at the strikeout probability percentage for Gwynn. NOBODY will ever do that again.

[@masterjedi5510]

@@user-vg2ut8lp9e Couldn’t agree more!

[@gerardocontreras5165]

In the late 90s and early 2000s I'd do a lot of these at the batting cages. Back when I watched games everyday and knew all the stances from around the league. Mo Vaughn was a tough one to hit because he tilted his head. I could only hit slow pitch balls with his stance.

[@ThatBum42]

Surely some peoples' batting stance is as much mental as it is physical. Baseball is the most superstitious sport after all. Hey, if holding his bat like a rifle helps him hit, who am I to argue? Of the Giants, I like Hunter Pence's batting stance the most. It's so tense and twitchy, like he's about to fight you to the death over a piece of cheese at any moment. Second is Denard Span's, with how he scrunches his knees down during the windup.

[@jayden8636]

Justyn Hunter Pence had a disease and is basically forced to bat like that. He has no choice

[@doseofreality100]

To me the only weird ones are where they set up with their hands pulled in close to their chest. Ted Williams baffles me as to how he was able to hit so well. In pictures his stance has the bat pretty much vertical, straight up and down and his hand in on his body just under his chest. How anyone can swing the bat around in that starting position in time to hit the ball is incredible to me. Also, Rod Carew's famous setup of already in the process of a swing is crazy to. If you've played the game you know you've always been taught to get the bat up and start high because gravity will get the head of the bat down... start low and you're going to be swinging under everything. It's no surprise that Carew didn't really have any power with such a stance. His career high in HRs in a season was 14 - twice. You can't get any torque behind a swing with Carew's stance. Carew was an excellent hitter though. Makes me wonder if he had a normal stance and could get some torque in that swing how many HRs he could've hit.... in addition to getting his 3,000+ hits and career .328 BA...... and 30+ SB potential. As for everyone else. Most of them have a weird setup, but if you pay attention when the pitcher starts his delivery they quickly adjust to a more traditional stance. It's why even as a kid when I played I never understood why people varied their stances or tried to emulate the pros...... you always end up in the same position so my thought process was why not just start in that position.

[@KipArmadillo]

Phil Plantier. I mimicked his stance during my sophomore year in high school, and proceeded to bat about a buck eighty.

[@spiritoflifetruth8089]

Remember Sam Horn with the Red Sox?

[@Rando1975]

I remember analysts calling Plantier's stance the "toilet seat" stance.

[@michaell874]

Mickey Rivers had a unique stance. Felix Millan choked up so much on the bat that it made his stance appear to be very unusual. Joe Morgan's armpit pumping was certainly different.

[@nono-xn4id]

I still don't consider it that weird. As a Sox fan as well, maybe I'm just used to seeing it?

[@leecowell8165]

He didn't know he did it. great pull hitter. he hit a lotta homers just inside the pole and you couldn't blow it by him great fastball, low ball hitter. Pitchers need to keep the ball UP on this guy or they could be in big trouble.

[@nacoran]

Knew Franco would be on there! Von Hayes, Jose Oquendo, Dwight Evans... Von Hayes (Phillies) had a really wide stance (at least at one point in his career), supposedly very good for being able to make adjustments on breaking balls. Jose Oquendo (Cardinals) had a wide open stance. He was at least 45 degrees away from being straight lined up with the pitcher, let alone the slightly closed stance most hitters use (he also could, in a pinch, play every position). And Dwight Evans (Boston), later in his career when he had a bit of a resurgence, stood sort of pigeon toed, with his knees pointing at each other. I used to like to try to imitate my favorite hitters. His stance was very good for helping you keep your weight back. Carl Yastrzemski (Boston), now that I think about it, did a thing where he started with his weight on his front foot, shifted to the back and then back forward. Jose Cruz (Astros) had a huge leg kick, the biggest I've ever seen. Reggie Jackson, sometimes on the follow through, would end up on his back knee.

[@SylviusTheMad]

I love all references to Tony Batista. Tony Batista is perhaps most noteworthy for producing the least valuable 30 HR, 100 RBI season of all time. In 2004, Batista hit a below-replacement .241/.272/.455, but somehow hit 32 dingers and drove in 110. By demonstrating their irrelevance, Tony Batista is truly the man who killed traditional baseball statistics.

[@stevenyourke7901]

I guess it dates me but the weirdest batting stance I ever saw was Dick McAulliffe, Tigers’ second baseman from the 1960’s. You can watch him at the plate if you check out the 1968 World Series clips. He batted left and he stood with his right foot pointing at first base. He held his bat so that the barrel was pointed straight at the pitcher. How he swung the bat without falling on his ass, I’ll never know. But if you pitched him inside, he would hit a home run right down the right field line.

[@gregorygarcia6558]

I remember seeing him when the Detroit Tigers came to Anaheim to play the Angels, I still have no idea how he was able to hit the ball the way he did holding the bat like that....

A few from back in the day: Jose Cruz, Terry Whitfield, Tony Tarasco. Cecil Cooper's was almost identical to Rod Carew's. Bautista's was almost identical to Brian Downing's. If you start out pointing the barrel of the bat at the pitcher, you'd better have Gary Sheffield's bat speed. As bad-ball hitters go, Kevin Mitchell was right up there with Vlad, Pujols, and Ichiro, although his stance was fairly normal.
