Ruth was actually pretty fast. He also wasn't fat until later in his career. The dude was a legit stud athlete and he stole a lot of bases. He also wasn't the pull hitter he seems to be here. He hit to all fields consistently.

[@someperson8151]

He had 136 career triples. Barry Bonds only had 77. Kenny Lofton had 135. Ruth was an athlete. Swung a 54 ounce bat when today's Major Leaguers swing 32 to 34 ounce bats and those bats are carefully selected by the latest technology.

[@TerryArbgast]

Far more often Ruth's homers went out to the power alley in right center (429 feet) or center (490). Left center, the original Death Valley, was 470 feet from home plate, and Jenkinson's research shows Ruth often hit fly balls in that direction because he was usually pitched that way. Loud outs, those usually were. Best case, they padded his career triples total of 136, or a whopping 59 more than the once-speedy Bonds has. "I really want people to know how often this happened," Jenkinson says. "It was a regular occurrence." Here's another nugget: Bonds has hit 35 homers of 450-plus feet, all but three since Opening Day 2000. And those three, Jenkinson says, all were wind-aided according to government data. Ruth? He hit at least 245 balls of 450 feet or more, by Jenkinson's count. Jimmie Foxx is a distant second at 115. "As a power hitter Ruth just dwarfs everyone in the history of baseball," Jenkinson says. "There's nobody even close. As great as we believe him to have been, he was even better."

That was what Tommy Lee Jones' character Ty Cobb said about Babe Ruth in the movie Cobb. After dissing Babe Ruth when chatting with Al Stump (played by Robert Wuhl), Al Stump asked him if he would give credit to Babe Ruth on playing the game of baseball on something. Cobb finally relented and said, "Yeah....he ran well for a fat man!"

[@daviddesrosiers1300]

What mode are you doing this in?

[@scallywag4978]

Already studied. It took Bill Jenkins 20 yrs to write the book. He compared Ruth’s ‘21 season to a season today. Every at bat in todays parks with todays rules. Only using that and not juicing or juiced balls. Ruth would have hit 104 homers in one season. That also happens to be the title of the book. Also pitching a shutout in a World Series and stealing home 10 times in his career. .342 lifetime average and Aaron went to bat 1200 more times to reach 714. Mathematicians say Ruth would have hit around 900 career homers with that many more chances. Kyle Schwarber would be lucky to wash Ruth’s jock strap.

[@Grizzlied555]

Aaron had 795 more games, and 3,965 more at bats than Ruth. Aaron also used drugs.

His best speed year he stole 17 bases when the league average was 14 and double steals were very common in the day so a lot of those could have been on the tail end and uncontested. The year he stole 17 bags. He was caught stealing 21 times so yes he was slow even if he wasn’t fat. He changed the game and was ahead of his time but if you teleported 1921 babe Ruth into todays game then he strikeout every time.

[@williammetzger5527]

If you put Ruth in a time capsule he wouldn't succeed today. If you took his basic genetic material and raised him as a child into modern baseball he would still dominate. He would have the modern advantages of nutrition, training and especially baseball science that didn't in his time. He didn't take care of his body, and yet in 1919, deadball era he hit a ball taped at over 500 feet. That proves monster strength without the physical training modern pro athlete undertake. But even more important is the science of hitting that didn't begin until Ted Williams wrote his book in the 1970s. With more knowledge of how to swing that modern players have he would have been even better. Just swinging a lighter bat would have helped immensely, and something he would have been compelled to do today assuming pitchers are faster now.( For the same reasons hitters are better now) And dont sell out his athleticism at his peak. We mostly see fat Babe in videos. In the early 20s and before he was not fat, he was fast. He stole home 10 times. As a batter he had unsurpassed power, but as a still record holding pitcher he had exquisite fine motor skills. He once hit . 394 while leading the league in homers. No one combine power with bat to ball skills like Ruth. No hitter has been more feared.
