LAUNCH ANGLES feat. BARRY BONDS Connect with me: / arod / arod / arod Alex Rodriguez CEO @ARODCorp www.arodcorp.com/ / arodcorp Business enquiries: info@arodcorp.com
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.
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''.
If you think because they use steroids they don't now what they doing my man that guy talking true the phone is one of the best hitters in baseball history. Learn how to encourage a kid how to hit the ball correctly. This is baseball 1on1.
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.
The best of all time. We we will never see another player like Barry Bonds again. Everyone forgets his 500 plus stolen bases. 700 plus homeruns and 500 plus stolen bases. Besides Bonds no player has reached 400 HR and 400 SB.
If anybody somehow also gets to the 400-400 club, Bonds wouldn’t sweat it, as he’s also the only member of the 500-500 club. Simply the greatest of all time. And there’s no bigger Ruth fan than me.
@@TheVigorousWolf Im sure that there are thousands of bigger Ruth fans, and trying to qualify your argument by saying you like the other guy is a moronic thing to do.
@@oinkypiggy7754 It’s obviously just a figure of speech, don’t take things so literally. Btw, there was no argument to try and qualify, I was just stating that statistically bonds is in a league of his own, which just means that you’re just reaching to begin with.
This video proves that these guys deserve to be in the hall of fame. Regardless of what they say, these two perfected the art of the swing. Small guys like Jose Altuve can hit bombs thanks to the evolution of the swing that these guys introduced. PERIOD. PED’s or not, these guys are the best hitters ever.
P.E.D’s have absolutely no effect on plate discipline. As a rod said, he never saw Barry check his swing and rarely swung out of the zone. There is no drug for that, that’s called pure talent.
Bro out of all the mlb players u brought Barry bonds ? A guy that did steroids and basically cheated through out his whole baseball career ? Ik he’s the home run king and all but he did it by cheating
This is arod at his best New show idea arod- interview former players n get them to show their mechanics Roberto alomar Tony fernandez Rey ordoñez Barry bonds Ken griffey jr That would b dope I definitely would watch
Damn A rod charge the phone!! Lol!!A man with 762 home runs mentor was Tony Gwynn a man with nine batting titles! So combined the two and you have the best the baseball player ever!! A rod said” I have watched you for ten years and you never checked swing”
Alex thanks for posting these videos. It's always cool to hear the masters talk shop about their craft. A lot little details into hitting an object square-on at 100 MPH
Joe babe Ruth is the considered the goat better war , avg , obp , played less season then Aaron and first was a pitcher and good one too ... numbers don’t lie what is there avg season by season.. Ruth the goat 🐐 and that’s why almost every baseball expert have him number 1
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).
This has to be one of the best videos on TH-cam!! Great instruction for any father trying to teach his son!!! #respect 🤝 you guys are in my hall of fame two of the beat to ever do it
I cannot be less interested in baseball, but I love to listen to Alex. All these principles can be applied to any and all areas of life. He teaches how to be a champ! 🏆
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.
This is very cool... I can care less about the controversies surrounding these two! They by are two of the best to ever play the game.... They both belong in HOF but they probably will have to wait twenty years so MLB will see if anybody comes close to HR record again.... There's no denying that the Sauce rekindles your youth and that's the problem.... This was actually fantastic... Thank you....
Chris Millhouse Here you go folks!! Heard it from Pujols, Cabrera, now ARod and Bonds. Gotta get to the ball short, quick, compact and explosive. This is one of the best instructional videos ever out there and every kid should see and learn from this.
That was awesome...the passion, enthusiasm & expertise for hitting from not just Barry Bonds but you too ARod, was a delight to watch. And yes, we'd all love to see an in-person version with the two of you.
This was by far my favorite video from your collection here. Hitting makes a huge difference in a ball player. Thanks Mr. Rodriguez. Full of key points and great info.
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.
The one thing nobody says when teaching hitting is .... what muscles do you engage/use... when you figure that out, then you will be able to swing effectively and consistently
Wow love this conversation. it did feel a bit old school, but old school in the best possible way ! Lots of great stuff but loved Barry’s thoughts about bunting, Tony G, and of course being a complete hitter. Great stuff thanks for putting it out Alex!
Barry had the best eye in hitting ever! He didn't even look at who he was about to face. I realize now it didn't matter. Barry knew if a ball was in his zone that he could hit didn't matter who or how fast
Imagine the audacity of TH-cam commenters critiquing Alex Rodriguez and Barry Bonds on their approaches to hitting, and saying that those two guys are WRONG!? The absolute best hitter of ALL-TIME said he's a down angle swinger and explains what he means by that (1:50).
Two of the greatest hitters ever talking about hitting. Gotta love it. And Barry Bonds is a great hitting instructor, not instructing guys to use steroids, so keep those jokes to yourself, doesn't add anything. Barry is the one who got into Christian Yelich's ear about hitting back in Miami. Look at the dude now. Great all around hitter with great power. Not just a one trick pony who really only hits homeruns.
Love it!!! This is how I swung and my philosophy when I played… I never even played High school baseball walked on a D3 team, got scholarship to a D1 school… so in 4 years I had a combined 500 abs with. .372 BA, hit 55 doubles 10 homers 11 triples, and struck out 26 times! Was ranked 18th in the nation toughest to strike out in all of D1 baseball in the nation. I got to play 4 more years at the semi pro baseball where Batted low 400 each season.. then I quit baseball because I got a real job … 😢… I can’t stand the new technic and launch angle it is ruining the game of Baseball. Great video
So amazing watching you both hammering 95+ mph fastballs like its a beer league LOL. and to do this from spring training to end of the season every yr is priceless. Wait a min both of you guys still own bats....does that mean yall still taking hacks at the park?
30 hrs 55 rbis a lot of players got their feelings hurt on that one. The analysis you get from true baseball guys is unlike any other sport. Awesome stuff.
Man this is crazy!! I’ve been coaching this for years!! Barry Bonds was my dude. Even changed my swing to hit like him and taught myself to bat left because of him (and to prove to my brother I could). I’ve been sharing this same type of education with my players along with other tools on my TH-cam channel MrCoachDJ. It’s crazy to hear him say this because I just emulated his swing as a kid.
Wow! Two great players in one video Awesome! 😁❤ A-rod one question even if I'm not an expert in baseball but I do like the game these swings Aren't they used to get players to home? Or are they swings necesarry to win? 😉 Love you keep on with videos like these 👌👍😘 Thanks and God bless.
This a perfect example of feel vs real. This just proves that two of the best hitters of all time have no clue what actually happened in their swings. Don't listen to what the elite hitters think they did, study what they actually did and swing to duplicate.
Dogpisswilly I agree. It seems that they get that feeling of that front shoulder going down and staying on the ball as the swing. The hands go back and turn the barrel into the ball on a slightly up plane. At that point it’s about shoulder direction and how much tilt you have how many degrees you swing up. Go look at Tewks breakdown of Bonds
I was looking for this comment lol Ive watched Barry’s swing thousands of times since I was a kid. I am just astonished at how much of a difference there is between his actual swing, and his interpretation (feeling) of his swing. Especially in regards to weight shift, his weight stayed back until launch, it never shifted to the front side which is easy to see on video, that’s why he was never fooled on anything off speed, nobody could get in on his front foot, he stayed back over that back leg extremely well. Then of course his swing plane as he describes it is nothing like the footage, his swing is clearly a Farris wheel rather than a marry go round path, very interesting.
Thanks for this video. I wish this outlet was around 20 years ago when I was in highschool, lol. I would've been in the Majors. Please keep these videos coming.
Alex, great video. Speaking truth. My son's hitting coach down here in SoCal is Darrell Sherman. You know "Sherm" well, my brother. Everything Sherm is teaching my 13 year-old son, and has for almost two years, is what Barry and you advocate here in your fantastic video. I was fortunate to be a head coach in high school as well, and this is what I taught. Thanks again for this content. Hope you are well.
The ball that Bonds hit off Troy Percival hasn't landed yet
MrBaddog7676 😆
Yes Baddog absoutely!!!
LMAO
“That’s the furthest ball I’ve ever seen hit”
🤣🤣🤣 I always talk about that... 🚀🚀🚀
Say what you want about Barry, but he has great insight on hitting mechanics.
The best hr hitter of all time
He’s the greatest hitter of all time
He also has a good insight on taking steroids
No, hank Aaron is the greatest hitter of all time because he didn’t take steroids
Joe the good ole days lol. The MLB should encourage steroid use.
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
Bonds' on base percentage was .444.
He did steroids
El Burro ur so stupid
connor johnson sure I’m stupid
connor johnson he did do steroids wtf u getting all sensitive for
He has his iconic bat on standby, love it.
This is some of the best baseball talk I’ve ever heard! Great to see Bonds give his insight. Great content Alex.
Been watching baseball since 1967 Bonds is the best solid pure hitter I've seen!
uncontested
Pure at taking steroids
Danny Cardenas Period!! Barry had 1000 more walks than strikeouts!!
@@joetheastrosfan3460 So if you take it, you can be in the majors soon.
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.
This is pure gold for any baseball guy. Love it.
Two of the greatest baseball players of all times.
Jose Matamoros pendeja
@@1kalambre El pendejo eres tu
Two of the greatest STEROID users of all time
Agreed
Jose Matamoros PERIOD!!!!!!!!
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''.
Dude, you are knocking it out of the park, two of the greatest hitters of all time in one video..
MASS ADAPTION are you drunk or lacking in intelligence? Steroids & PED’s is never a good look.
@@1kalambre you're an idiot
If you think because they use steroids they don't now what they doing my man that guy talking true the phone is one of the best hitters in baseball history. Learn how to encourage a kid how to hit the ball correctly. This is baseball 1on1.
Guys don’t entertain this loser, he comes to watch a video about someone he clearly does not like just to project his negative life onto others..

still unfair to the ones that made it WITHOUT PEDS
King Ace what about the racist players ? Should they stay in the hall ? Would you rather have kids look up to a racist or someone that took peds ?
Great to see Barry doing well and talking baseball!
Never thought I’d agree with an astros fan, but yesss
Brandon Michael I bet you would kill an Astros fan now lol
_ŞаHLт _ bruh I found you randomly in the comment section on a baseball video again. Wtf
Togetic14 ha

PEDs do effect your focus so it can have an effect on plate discipline
Niuway 1 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean Cannon then why so many strike outs?
Arod what a pleasure to view a video with u interviewing Barry Bond
Fuck u
Vivian Davis why are u so angry, lmao!
@@annstewart8881 Hey just saying lol
Bro out of all the mlb players u brought Barry bonds ? A guy that did steroids and basically cheated through out his whole baseball career ? Ik he’s the home run king and all but he did it by cheating
Kid Komet he was still great, and still knows a ton about the game either way
This is arod at his best
New show idea arod- interview former players n get them to show their mechanics
Roberto alomar
Tony fernandez
Rey ordoñez
Barry bonds
Ken griffey jr
That would b dope
I definitely would watch
Would be DOPE for sure. Probably alot of DOPE.
Kc is that a play on steroids? Ohhh
I can take all the steroids in the world n still not hit 10 homers
Relax
@@mrsmith3869 nah home run numbers would be through the roof if steroid use was as high as it use to be
RIP Tony Fernandez 😢
Barry is enough
Please bring back coffee with arod!
Damn A rod charge the phone!! Lol!!A man with 762 home runs mentor was Tony Gwynn a man with nine batting titles! So combined the two and you have the best the baseball player ever!! A rod said” I have watched you for ten years and you never checked swing”
Wow Barry bonds taking hitting is like listening to Einstein’s
Einstein's what? Millennials.....🙄
@ Jew
Alex thanks for posting these videos. It's always cool to hear the masters talk shop about their craft. A lot little details into hitting an object square-on at 100 MPH
Barry is the greatest to ever play. Loved seeing him
No he isn’t, hank Arron is the greatest baseball player of all time
Markoos Egen Period!!!!
Joe you just talk because it’s free!! If you take Bonds last seven seasons he still had 500hrs 500 stolen bases and 4 MVPs and 9 gold gloves!!
Joe babe Ruth is the considered the goat better war , avg , obp , played less season then Aaron and first was a pitcher and good one too ... numbers don’t lie what is there avg season by season.. Ruth the goat 🐐 and that’s why almost every baseball expert have him number 1
K B he never played against any blacks lol. Doesn’t count for me
Awesome to hear the greatest player of all time saying in today's baseball shifts, he would bunt everytime and hit .400. Love it.

Glad to see you guys teaching the proper way to hit. That old guy teacher man has no clue
Say what you want about these two, they are a couple of some the greatest hitters of all time
This has to be one of the best videos on TH-cam!! Great instruction for any father trying to teach his son!!! #respect 🤝 you guys are in my hall of fame two of the beat to ever do it
No one ever had a better swing than Barry Bonds.
Rodriguez *AND* Bonds?????
Bruhh
Call the Fine Bros we need “Josh Donaldson reacts to Aron and Bonds talking about the down swing”
I cannot be less interested in baseball, but I love to listen to Alex. All these principles can be applied to any and all areas of life. He teaches how to be a champ! 🏆
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.
Imagine having Willie Mays, Bobby Bonds, and Tony Gwynn as your instructor/mentor. Barry Bonds the G.O.A.T
Quiere que el mundo explote verdad 😃😃

Im a Barry fan again. Bring this man back to the game of baseball.
Pero está entrevista vale oro santo Dios Bonds hablando sobre su mecánica de bateo.excelente Alex
Smart & insightful from two of the greats. Teaching my son the “old school” technique. Thanks Alex & Barry
That was awesome...the passion, enthusiasm & expertise for hitting from not just Barry Bonds but you too ARod, was a delight to watch. And yes, we'd all love to see an in-person version with the two of you.
This was by far my favorite video from your collection here. Hitting makes a huge difference in a ball player. Thanks Mr. Rodriguez. Full of key points and great info.
Imagine Barry Bonds and ARod on the 2017 Houston Astros team. They will probably both hit .400 and 60 HR.
They don’t need to cheat
Thank you Alex I need it this God bless you this was a God send message for me

In his 1968 book, The Science of Hitting, Ted Williams wrote about “a slight upswing.”
@Y Marina True.
Pure wisdom!!!.....these are the ball players that need to be coaching in the majors before are beloved game gets lost forever. Great video!!!

Hell yea!!! The two greatest hitters of the early 90’s and early 2000’s!!
Ken Griffey Jr. should also be in this segment, he has a legendary downward swing.
And also he was the lounge angle King
Griffey had an uppercut swing...
Griffey had more of a slight loop swing not down.
Duke DeMatteo no he didn’t, his finish was up but is bat path was in the zone for as long as possible. He never had a uppercut swing

Great hitting tips,I learned a lot of info. I didn't know. keep up the great work you doing.
Barry=GHOAT(Greatest Hitter Of All Time)
I'm 47 years old. Started watching baseball in the 1980s. Barry is the best player I've ever seen.
UN SALUDO DESDE REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA.. Barry Bonds y Alex Rodríguez son mis peloteros favoritos de toda la vida..
Two of the greatest hitters ever talking about hitting. Gotta love it. And Barry Bonds is a great hitting instructor, not instructing guys to use steroids, so keep those jokes to yourself, doesn't add anything. Barry is the one who got into Christian Yelich's ear about hitting back in Miami. Look at the dude now. Great all around hitter with great power. Not just a one trick pony who really only hits homeruns.
Love you Barry, Thank u A-Rod for making this Video
I’ve been waiting for this to happen in so long thank you so much man💯🙏🏼
Great video bro! Nice work bringing Bond into your channel thanks Arod, greatestof all time. Will love to see Barry in more new videos, again thanks.
Great break down on the 2 different swings. Makes alot of sense!!!
Barry bonds is the 🐐 and the man knows the zone,much respect to Alex Rodriguez
Bonds is the 🐐 at taking steroids
@@joetheastrosfan3460 bonds was a 5 tool player,look that up and see what that means before you hit reply and send button
Joe can’t u do anything better with ur life. Like Jesus. I’ve seen u on everyone’s comments saying “oh he took steroids”. Ur such a fucking pussy kid
they need to redo this video with barry in person
A-Rod great video upload with your interview with Bonds!
Swing down is something that’s old school and it’s proven to help you swing.
Literally 8/10 players say swing down.
Get barry bonds live 1 v 1, and more talk more about hitting.
Love this! You’re the best ever Barry, hope you guys do more videos , in person even better.
Awesome video Alex. It is encouraging to see Barry Bonds sharing his insights.
Love it!!! This is how I swung and my philosophy when I played… I never even played High school baseball walked on a D3 team, got scholarship to a D1 school… so in 4 years I had a combined 500 abs with. .372 BA, hit 55 doubles 10 homers 11 triples, and struck out 26 times!

Great Stuff A-Rod & Barry!! 👍👍Love how you fellas broke down the real science of consistent hitting vice modern day fairweather analytics.
So amazing watching you both hammering 95+ mph fastballs like its a beer league LOL. and to do this from spring training to end of the season every yr is priceless. Wait a min both of you guys still own bats....does that mean yall still taking hacks at the park?
Wow! This was super cool! Awesome video that will be referenced for years to come
Bonds can hit ball to the MOON
thanks for bringing Mr. Homer on the video
Great video
The BEST ever talking about his X-FACTOR.
This would be a badass LIVE interview!!!
Thank you for the tips Alex
Alex- “old school or a dinosaur like me” 😂😂😂
this is brilliant! Barry Bonds was one of the greatest hitters I've ever seen and in the game.
Two greats of the game talking mechanics. This is great stuff!
Call it what ever you want ,but to get the ball in the air you have to hit it with a upward trajectory .
Alex I love this video I am about to watch it every before I go to sleep, Alex Rodriguez
30 hrs 55 rbis a lot of players got their feelings hurt on that one.
The analysis you get from true baseball guys is unlike any other sport. Awesome stuff.
Thank you so much for this
Great stuff from great baseball players! They were players that were great no DOUBT! kids should listen as well as coaches to teach this game
This video should have millions of views. PEDs don’t get you this level of skill and intellect in any sport…..period.
Love from Canada! Two of my all time favourites
Man this is crazy!! I’ve been coaching this for years!! Barry Bonds was my dude.
