MLB network really is missing the mechanical component to what Judge is doing. How he is able to get coiled early to not get beat by hard stuff, but still able to stay there and create torque as his barrel moves backward and stay turned to the second baseman area on off speed. He has perfected his craft. So Soft on his front foot for such a large guy allows his front foot to slightly adjust to the direction he wants to hit the ball.
@@23ecoffey I did. But there is more than the hip. The tilt and rearward move of the barrel are the key. IMHO. It’s what allows for the hip work properly. They don’t talk about directionality with the front foot either. This is a solid breakdown. But doesn’t address the the key components that I think makes this great. The tilt and snap of the barrel that makes the coil work most efficiently.
He doesn't use his foot to hit the ball where he wants it. He hits the ball where it's pitched and he lets the ball travel deeper in the zone to go opposite field, when the baseball is in you swing sooner as the natural rotation of the barrel dictates where the ball is hit. Same swing every time, thinking up the middle allowing the barrel to work behind the baseball.
@@josephcox3091 number one. I didn’t say he uses his front foot to hit. His front foot will land according based on where the pitch is because of his rear legged launch and the turn it provides. Two, they do work to be behind the baseball. But they don’t have time in real game to solely focus on where the ball is pitched like they might in BP. They usually pick a half (including the middle half) and launch their barrel. Guys hit middle pitches over left and right center field walls all the time. And pull them as well due to the launch, not where it is pitched.
You thought he might get off to a slow start and then you saw his 1st AB 2nd pitch in the 1st game of the season? Great breakdown by the one and only D~Ro. The guy needs to be managing very soon.
he popped up that last home run. his 35 inch bat does a lot of the work cuz he is a monster and can handle that. his swing is gorgeous. the man does everything right in the box.
Strength and size doesn’t replace skill the man has found a perfect balance there’s been stronger and more muscular guys in the mlb strength will only get you so far it’s all about the technique and hand eye coordination he has one of the greatest swings the game has seen without those mechanics he wouldn’t have nearly half as many home runs as he has to date
Avg exit velocity is the biggest indicator of power and Judge was first last year. There were a few guys who had a higher max, but nobody drive the ball further more consistently. Cruz’s max is pretty crazy though 😮
@@No__feelings your telling Sammy sosa and Barry bonds weren’t stronger lol have you seen pictures of those dudes at their prime lol judge just has height he’s not the strongest the mlb has ever seen
@@michaelleyba7567 muscles does not indicate more pop Brody. But at the same time, it’s really hard to judge who has more pop when we can’t measure how hard sosa and then we’re rippin it.
@@michaelleyba7567 I don't think any player in mlb history has had a higher average exit velocity than Judge. Judge is also like 50 pounds heavier than a prime Bonds and 6 inches taller.
I think that as much as he hits for power, he's now focused on making contact. You can see him later in the count planting his left foot with no kick to speak of. Jomboy has a great analysis of that.
If they bring back the old baseball, the deep.outfieldes and no enhancement drugs, how many Homer's would todays baseball players average, about 15 a season?

Ppl don’t talk about coiling enough. many young players just load by just putting weight on their back foot
did you watch until the ~4 minute mark?

Eeehhhh idk about stronger, only guys that have more pop than Aaron judge is Stanton and maybe O’Neil Cruz

Looks like judge utilized his height to generate long torque on that right on right change. Dude's unreal.

First guy I’ve heard talk about how he thought that first homer was a fly out at first.
Decent swing combined with his size creates his numbers
Decent ? You’re underselling it. Probably the best swing in baseball plus his size
Too bad Judge can't hit a curveball on a consistent basis.... You can add Stanton to that list, too...

And...the classiest guy around.
It's his frame! Unique, 6'8 what pushing 225-250. That's a very big boy, a skyscraper of a person lol. Dropping bombs without even trying! 🙏🤙💯
He’s actually 6’7 282 LBS
@@samfisher170 thanks for the correction, regardless he is a monster of a person ha! 🤙💯💪
He wasn't able to maintain it, but Chris Davis had the easiest power I've ever seen. Big guys swing big bats.
Think what you will of Barry Bonds but he always preached top hand.power comes from proper technique.
I guess they didnt abandon the juiced balls yet
I guess TH-cam didn't abandon 🤡 yet
Juiced balls
Only the Yankees can spend more money and get simultaneously worse

Yankees have their best record through the first 10 games since 04 but ok.

How old are you?
This man is going to age so poorly though
