Adam Dunn was a hell of a guy, my cousin went to a reds game shortly before he passed with cancer and adam dunn after the game took some pictures with him and signed a autograph. Him and Ken Griffey jr were a blast to watch. 2 legends.
I have always been amazed with his sheer strength. He never swung hard and would hit the ball 10 miles. An added bonus was he was not a showboat. Just a strong man that did it right.
amaritheskater my dad is actually good friends with Adam Dunn he played in high school and college with Adam Dunn my dad hurt his arm after getting signed to 7 different teams
I was left handed baseball swing like Adam dunn in my 2005 jenior year for the satesville high school grayhounds baseball team adam Dunn baseball hall of famer Adam Dunn is one my all time favorite baseball players of all time
I was left beasball swing like Adam Dunn in my 2005 baseball jenior year for the steaville grayhounds baseball team Adam Dunn baseball hall of famer in my book
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. In kid leagues, we think of RF as the stash position for bad defenders. First basemen have to be able to catch a ball, at that kid level. Then, it becomes 1B and DH that bad defenders get stashed at, in the pros. Someone told me that in the MLB, LF is another stash position for good hitters, but bad defenders, because the CENTER Fielder is usually a good defender, and can cover for the LF. Is that true? I began to realize that some defensive donkeys (no pun intended) like Adam Dunn, Adam Lind, Lance Berkman, Ben Broussard and Mark Trumbo have played.
Adam dun was a threat into his older days, but idk to me he signed with the wrong teams. I felt maybe if he went to better equipped teams. He would have done way more, for baseball
I loved this guy growing man absolute raw power. if only he could have worked on his average i think it has something to do with his stance but anyway the guy was a beast i mean you could strike him out 2-3 times a game but watch out for that 500 footer in the next at bat...
51% of his career at bats were HBP, K, or BB which is just insane! No other player in MLB history put up a ratio like that where they simply did not make contact with the ball every other at bat. Consider that he then hit so many home runs but almost exclusively against right handed pitchers with one exception in Kershaw who simply owned left handed batters Dunn had that guys number. He is quite the anomaly and a one of a kind player.
He wouldnt make the hall because of his average he could have had 600 homeruns but with a .237 career average will keep you out regardless. im a huge adam dunn fan and would love to see him get to the hall but its just plain facts but who else can bat .204 in a season and Still hit 41 home runs ? Nobody ever... litterally 45% of his career hits were homers tho who else can do these things? None other then the big donkey adam dunn himself

If Adam Dunn had the hand eye coordination of Ted Williams he would have hit 3000 homeruns.
Me too
@@jingomcbright3687probably not
"YOU CAN.... PUT IT ON THE BOOOOOOAAAAARRRRD!!!
YES!
YES!!!
HELL YES!!!!!"
that announcer was on a different level
Hawks is in the hof miss his calls for the sox. Go Sox
A great player. Over his career, you can expect 3 things from him in every at-bat; a strikeout, a walk or a homer.
You don't get an at-bat if you walk.
*Replace At-Bat with Plate Appearance
The Three True Outcomes King. Loved watching him play. Teams need guys like him IMO. Go up to the plate with one thing in mind.
Yup. His averages were ugly. But he damn sure had major power.
The Reggie Jackson Problem! Home run or strike out!
His Attitude And Trot Around The Bases Never Changed....Class Act
Adam Dunn and Ryan Howard were two of my favorite non Twins players (I’m a twins fan). Just these two beasts who hit the crap out of the ball.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American too. I wanted the Mariners to get Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau so badly!
2005 Reds were such a weird team. Every batter in the lineup was above average, but incapable of playing any defense, with zero pitching lol
Seen this guy at a gas station in Texas, hes huge.
I bet his weiners huge!
I played football with him in high school, he was like 6'5 as a freshman. We were not friends though
Crackhead Carl 😂
2:25 when I come home from work after eating gas station food and the wife says babe we are having tacos for dinner
😂
@@biggy0917😂😂🤌🤌
I use to love to watch him, Jim Thome, Mo Vaughn, Vlad Guerrero and Carlos Delgado smash home runs
love this guy , sad to see him retire
amaritheskater my dad is actually good friends with Adam Dunn he played in high school and college with Adam Dunn my dad hurt his arm after getting signed to 7 different teams
Only player to hit a baseball into another state! Technically 😂
4:05 - “He Dunn did it”
Dunn was the only player to hit a ball over 500 feet in the whole HitTracker Era. That's impressive.
I love the catchers reaction at 3:18 lol
If he'd have been played as a DH in the AL, he'd be a hall of famer 😢
I was left handed baseball swing like Adam dunn in my 2005 jenior year for the satesville high school grayhounds baseball team adam Dunn baseball hall of famer Adam Dunn is one my all time favorite baseball players of all time
Adam Dunn was basically a left handed Mark McGwire
Minus the roids
No, not really.
@@levivandermolen7223 the only difference is McGwire won one gold glove award...
Will Ferrell is my favorite baseball player
Of only he couls have stayed in shape lol, he had unreal power
That reds line up w Casey, Boone, Dunn and Griffey was great
He was my favorite player as a kid
Me too. I remember going to a Reds game and his name being announced. He was so hyped up. You could just tell he was going to get a big hit
Lol "Hell yes!".
Long live Adam Dunn.
He just said hell yes
He dun did it
So weird not seeing the party boat on top of the batter's eye at GABP
I was left beasball swing like Adam Dunn in my 2005 baseball jenior year for the steaville grayhounds baseball team Adam Dunn baseball hall of famer in my book
Adam Dunn proved you can stick anybody in left field and well he tried

THE BIG DONKEY -hawk harrelson. Much respect for big 44
Js got a picture with him today super nice
I love bubble gum bubble while he trots the bases
Damn, the man acted like the baseball was hitting on his Mom.
More powerful than Giancarlo Stanton
I loved this guy growing man absolute raw power. if only he could have worked on his average i think it has something to do with his stance but anyway the guy was a beast i mean you could strike him out 2-3 times a game but watch out for that 500 footer in the next at bat...
That is what the pepsi sign use to look like in 2008
He could two positive things. Hit bombs out and draw walks. When I say bombs. I mean gigantic homeruns.
Glenallen Hill.
I have a signed baseball by him
Adam Dunn would be considered a great player in this era with teams in baseball now accepting strikeouts more than they did back in the roid era.
51% of his career at bats were HBP, K, or BB which is just insane! No other player in MLB history put up a ratio like that where they simply did not make contact with the ball every other at bat.

David Lee You watched the Jon Bois video right?
They need to bring back them black sleeves
WHAMMMIE!
Longest home run in chase field
Holy shit I love Hawk Harrelson
If Adam Dunn did reach 500 homers, would he make the HOF?
Rip Steakface he only had 462, probably not just because of how many times he struck out.
I know I’m late here but yeah he probably won’t make the Hall. Had a career batting average of .237
No Adam Dunn is horrible
He wouldnt make the hall because of his average he could have had 600 homeruns but with a .237 career average will keep you out regardless. im a huge adam dunn fan and would love to see him get to the hall but its just plain facts but who else can bat .204 in a season and Still hit 41 home runs ?

He was the Dave Kingman of the 90s! Similar numbers !
Before Joey gallo
Joey Votto
I meant 2005
it looks like he is trying to exorcise some nasty spirits from those baseballs. yikes!
Still not a hof
Jim thome on wish.
In the river to center.... Wtf
Dingers
If Adam Dunn had the hand eye coordination of Ted Williams he would have hit 3000 homeruns.
