Love hearing Williams talk about hitting. He likely understood the art of hitting better than anyone else. Rose is also great to listen to his stories and insights.
People tend to forget that Bonds was hitting at the same time as lots of other hitters who were on PEDs. The only thing that set him apart was the fact that he outperformed them and he broke records.
Yeah also they forget to mention that the MLB turned a blind eye to PEDs because the ratings were going up. At the end of the day he was a hall of fame caliber player before and after his steroid use. He also wasn’t just a home run hitter he also hit for high average and he had a great approach.
@@shawndowling8592 exactly he was great in his Pirate days before the roids. And he brought more to the table then just his home runs. He stole bases, hit for high average, and was a gold glove outfielder
Exactly right. He had the highest profile because he was rewriting the record books. This also made him the recipient of far fewer hittable pitches per AB . But he still managed to square up a LOT when he wasn't walked. I have no doubt that the last quarter of his career was enhanced greatly by PEDs. His bat speed not only didn't suffer, I think it increased when he was in his late 30s !
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 Exactly! They would walk him anytime they were in trouble. I’ve heard people say he’d only have 2 hittable pitches in a game and he’s usually capitalize on both of them. Yeah for sure the PEDs helped him a lot and made him an even better player for sure.
Would love to see Mr Padre in there too. Great advice from great hitters. I wish Barry would've been more like this. He should be HOF. I loved the Baseball Bunch.
For sure! He is one of the premier sluggers in baseball in my opinion and he didn’t have to give up batting average and On base to hit home runs. He’s not talked about enough!
Notice that when Peter Edward Rose bat in hand spoke about the science of hitting, gentleman Frank Thomas and A. Fraud listen to the master. Best utility player to ever play the game, there’s no need to have his mug hanging inside a square in a corner of the HOF, Rosé’s records speaks for itself…love the guy.
For sure! Great players from every era will always have things in common. Players from past eras would have access to todays facilities so at the end things even out.
Usually that’s not the case and if he throws a fastball when your thinking curve you’ll get blown up. I think the best bet is to think fastball react to the secondary pitches
@@hasbullaplaysbaseball pitchers like to throw junk when they have two strikes on you unless it is full count. You can foul off fast balls while sitting on curves, but you can't speed up to hit solid sweet spot hits. And if you are sitting on curve you will only swing at hittable curves because you are looking for hanging high curve. If you are sitting on fastball you will swing at low curve because it is same starting direction as fastball and you will miss at ball into the dirt. Of course the best skill in hitting is fouling off likely strikes until you get the pitch you are looking for and then swing for glory.
@@hasbullaplaysbaseball I used to pitch and was one to throw as hard as I could and never understood how batters were hitting it. When I came across the video of Bonds talking about how catchers can catch it hitter can hit it.
@@hasbullaplaysbaseball thank you ! Based on the title and how A-Rod was showing so much respect I assumed it was a legend. I’ve actually heard of Pete before too just didn’t know what he looked like ! Thanks again
In terms of hitting philosophy and breaking it down to the basics. Ted Williams is probably the best hitter to learn from. Dude has a .480 career on base and had a rule book for hitting
Alot of these guys are not legends.like after 1980.after that their spoiled little rich kids and steroid users.who should've never even got as far as they did.

100 percent! Ted Williams and Pete Rose have approaches to hitting!
Ted Williams has a great hitting book called ''The Science of Hitting''

A-rod was stunned at Rose's bat size. He must've been strong AF to use a 35/32. Hitting is a sweet science. Love this stuff.
Yeah it’s awesome how different approaches work for different guys.
I loved Vladimir Guerrero Sr.'s philosophy on hitting- "I see ball, I hit ball." He swung at literally anything and didn't strikeout much either.😅
Lol 😂! He had impressive bat to ball skills
Would love to see Mr Padre in there too. Great advice from great hitters. I wish Barry would've been more like this. He should be HOF. I loved the Baseball Bunch.
I made a new video including Tony Gwynn amongst others‼️
Check it out: th-cam.com/video/_YZSNbuDNNI/w-d-xo.html
Thome (IMO) is one of the most underrated hitters of all time. The power he had to the opposite field and dead center was insane.
For sure! He is one of the premier sluggers in baseball in my opinion and he didn’t have to give up batting average and On base to hit home runs. He’s not talked about enough!
Great video. It’d be awesome if you made a part 2.
Thank you!! I am planning on make a part 2

100 percent!! He doesn’t need the Hall to validate his amazing playing career. One of the greatest and smartest hitters in MLB history!
Awesome video, thanks for putting this together
No problem man, I’m glad you enjoyed it
I love watching Frank Thomas FOCUSED on what Pete Rose is saying...gives me chills almost
100 percent! He’s giving respect to one of the best hitters of all time
Compare this to Josh Donaldson’s video, you will notice right away how a great hitter approaches the ball vs a below average one!
Jeter totally deserves to be in this series of greats. I say that as an astros fan btw..
Definitely! Jeter was a great hitter who had a great approach at the plate. And I’m saying this as a Mets fan.
Go Mets go Astros 2022 World Series
@@guywebster8018 that would be fun
the Eric Hosmer of shortstops defensively
Listening to all of them in different eras they all have the same techniques therefore players from the past would be able to thrive in this era..
For sure! Great players from every era will always have things in common. Players from past eras would have access to todays facilities so at the end things even out.
Nice i love this
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Aaron judge is a great hitter to listen to too
True! He has a solid approach to hitting
If the pitcher throws a fat hanging curve every three pitches on average and you hit those well then it is smarter to sit on the curve.
Usually that’s not the case and if he throws a fastball when your thinking curve you’ll get blown up. I think the best bet is to think fastball react to the secondary pitches

The first guy interviewing Bonds didn't realize the importance of what he was saying.
Yeah so true. What he was saying was so simple but so effective

@@davidmoss2576 exactly if you can have perfect timing, it doesn’t matter how fast or slow someone throws
lmao one guy says swing up, another says down.
Lol different cues work for different people
Who’s the old guy that went 3rd ?
Wasn’t meant is disrespect just an accurate description and I actually wanna know, the guy talking to alex Rodriguez
That’s Pete Rose!
The MLB All-Time Hits Leader!
@@hasbullaplaysbaseball thank you ! Based on the title and how A-Rod was showing so much respect I assumed it was a legend. I’ve actually heard of Pete before too just didn’t know what he looked like ! Thanks again
No problem! Anytime! Yeah A rod definitely respected Pete Rose in that clip a lot!
Why do they always say, “like golf”?
Lol I’m not sure
Ted Williams, for years, was THE last word in how to hit a baseball.
Now?
I'd say Pete's the guy to talk to, with Jeter a close second.
Definitely, good people to listen to in terms of hitting!
Griffey is the only hitter young hitters should listen to or copy.
Great person to emulate
But there are other great players
To emulate as well
@@hasbullaplaysbaseball
Yes, Babe Ruth, Williams, Aaron, Mays, Mantle, Ott...
Don’t be ridiculous.

Yes mam!!!

Do we really think Derek Jeter should be in a video with all these actual legends of hitting? Let's be serious
I think he deserves to be there! 3000 hits, hall of fame player, and had some good advice in the video.
Hell yes. What, are you from New England?
Alot of these guys are not legends.like after 1980.after that their spoiled little rich kids and steroid users.who should've never even got as far as they did.
I understand 80’s and 90’s were in the steroid era but they were still great hitters who had great approaches at the plate and we can learn from them.
stay mad old man. everyone was juiced. they still played baseball.
you still have to be an all time great level hitter regardless of steroids to break any record.
