Elbow to the ribs isn't a brand new idea, but having it blessed by Albert makes it even more important to learn. And never heard a bad thing about him as a person. Class act.
@@asc8048 To be fair, I don't think we should be married to the idea that good hitters can't give bad advice. Not saying everything he says is wrong, but there have been hitters that provided advice that just either isn't good, or it isn't effective for everyone (A Rod is another good example, great hitter but his advice doesn't even align with how he swings).
@@nesssixteen6106When it comes to baseball in general, but specifically hitting, certain things will work for people and certain things won't. There's not many blanket statements you can say, or drills you can recommend, that will work for absolutely every hitter. A-Rod and Albert Pujols don't give "bad" advice, nor are they "wrong." They tell people what they focused on and what worked for them. At the 12:40 mark of this clip Albert literally explains that everyone has their own way of getting themselves to hit.
Love derosa he said the truth... Everyone should listen when someone who played the game , its considered one of the top 3 to ever do it, and 700 plus home rum, 3k hits, 500 plus 2B, everyone should just listen
ALBERT PUJOLS THE BEST LATINO PLAYER OF ALL TIME, THE ONLY LATINO PLAYER IN THE 700 HUNDRED CLUB(BOND 762, HANK AARON 755, RUTH 714 and ALBERT PUJOLS 703), AND 3 TIMES MVP(2005, 2008, 2009). Plus to ice the cake PUJOLS HAS THE BEST FIRST 11 YEARS THAT ANYBODY COULD HAVE. PUJOLS=🇩🇴🐐💪🔥⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
I was at a game at the old Busch when he was a rookie…vs the giants with bonds in the outfield and my team and I were in St. Louis for a tourney … before the game we got to walk the outfield and I’ll never forget that I got to slap hands with Pujols n Cairo that day….never did I think Pujols would become what he did… great memories …then went to Ozzie smiths restaurant post game for some chow where he signed autographs for every single person that was at that restaurant….the glory days
My Baseball coach when I was about 11-12 said on two separate occasions I remember. He gave us a thing to do when we got home. "Look at footage of Albert Pujols"
Says knob to the ball and pushes his hands across, then immediately demonstrate tucking the elbow and turning the knob up and supinating the wrist as how he swung. It's wild how these great hitters don't even realize the key in what they did.
Producers and editors today are amazing with the graphics, but they have no idea what they're doing when it comes to the audio. Music is FILLER for when people AREN'T TALKING - not when they are.
He talks about things and movements he didn't even do in the video he just watched. He never pushed the barrel through the zone as he is demonstrating here.
Love to see how peoples in this country recognize the greatness of Albert pujols. When I hear peoples from my country DR put manny Ramirez over him as the best right handed hitter from DR is insane. Plain and simple a class act player
Mark de Rosa needs to stop interrupting people. Let the person that has great success speak!!!! You brought Albert on the show let him talk. That’s why he called you out and said you got to the ballpark late at 3pm for a 7 pm game vs Albert showing up at 1pm. That’s difference between great and average at best. Come early stay late
Good eyesight and getting yourself in a comfortable, athletic stance with good balance with eyes focused and level. You can pretty much forget everything else they teach batters. Connect your eyes to your body and you will be successful. Watch Ted William's, Ken Griffey Jr, Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols, etc. See what they all share, excellent balance, head and eyes in perfect position to SEE THE BASEBALL. See ball, hit ball. Simple concept yet so difficult to perfect.
The problem with pro athletes is they often don't recognize that what the think they are doing when they are successful and what they really are doing are two different things. Here he talks about knob to the baseball. Slow down his video and see how many homers were hit with the knob to the baseball. None. When he hit successfully he had a rearward snap of the bat getting his bat in the SAME PLANE AS THE PITCH. Its nearly impossible to hit a baseball 400 feet with a downward trajectory of the bat against a downward trajectory of the pitch. This is just basic physics. And anyone who actually puts backspin on a baseball while hitting got luck enough to hit the small piece of the ball superior to the seem creating a leverage point to increase backspin. The surface of a baseball is mostly smooth leather surfaces. Ever tried to throw a good curveball without the seems? Doesnt work too well.
Look just because you’re a legend ball player doesn’t mean you need to be a broadcaster!!!!! When you can’t speak English proficiently you shouldn’t be on tv !!!! I’m nuhhh doooon I nvr tak bout it ,,,, give me a break I’m so sick of all these people you can’t understand half what they are saying
Pujols: steroids, steroids, and then some steroids. And when im in a slump, steroids. Did you like how i got my feelings hurt that last season and started hitting again out of nowhere? Steroids. Love 'em!
I went to his BR page. This man in 2006: 49HR & only 50 strikeouts🤯🤯
Whenever he talks about hitting, I’m all ears!!
Bonds one year 43 homers 41 strikeouts
I could listen to these guys talk ball all day
What a horrible life that would be

One of the most legit human beings I've ever met. Class act is an understatement. Talking to albert about hitting feels like time is stopped.
Nope. No hitter thinks that dumb shit. U just swing.

Amazing loving how Albert Puljos just showed how to hit a ball better
the knowledge is of the charts here wow can listen to albert and dero all DAY
“I show up at 1 o’clock and you show up at 330” 😂😂😂
Got him!!!
That was amazing lol
Shout out to Edgar Rentaria that Puljols mentioned. He would have thrived with the strike zone we have today
That rookie season stat was crazy
Love derosa he said the truth... Everyone should listen when someone who played the game , its considered one of the top 3 to ever do it, and 700 plus home rum, 3k hits, 500 plus 2B, everyone should just listen
really appreciate the loud music that plays right when Pujols starts talking about his mechanics, makes it so much easier to retain! 🤡
ALBERT PUJOLS THE BEST LATINO PLAYER OF ALL TIME, THE ONLY LATINO PLAYER IN THE 700 HUNDRED CLUB(BOND 762, HANK AARON 755, RUTH 714 and ALBERT PUJOLS 703), AND 3 TIMES MVP(2005, 2008, 2009). Plus to ice the cake PUJOLS HAS THE BEST FIRST 11 YEARS THAT ANYBODY COULD HAVE. PUJOLS=🇩🇴🐐💪🔥⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
The man 110% hall of fame
The greatest first 10 years in the history of baseball, period.
And the greatest 2nd half of a 22nd season!
Yeah Albert Pujoids did his thing alright.
I was at a game at the old Busch when he was a rookie…vs the giants with bonds in the outfield and my team and I were in St. Louis for a tourney … before the game we got to walk the outfield and I’ll never forget that I got to slap hands with Pujols n Cairo that day….never did I think Pujols would become what he did… great memories …then went to Ozzie smiths restaurant post game for some chow where he signed autographs for every single person that was at that restaurant….the glory days
Probably the best hitter of his generation
Not probably, bro.
You mean he is the best hitter of his gen 😂
@@ORbulldozer Exactly
Top 5 hitter of all time!!
Has an argument for one of best hitters ever not just his gen
My Baseball coach when I was about 11-12 said on two separate occasions I remember. He gave us a thing to do when we got home. "Look at footage of Albert Pujols"
Please no music next time

The Legendary Great ALBERT PUJOIDS!!!!
One of the greatest!
Such a Beautiful swing

The GOAT what a damn privilege it was as a Cardinals fan watching him every night
He talks about things and movements he didn't even do in the video he just watched.
He never pushed the barrel through the zone as he is demonstrating here.
fantastic stuff. must-watch is an understatement
As a cards fan, I love that they practically ignored the fact he played for the angels 😂

Esp the Goat.
Didn't feel that way, man... I would give that speech to Jimmy Fallon though 😂
Shut up and go mow my lawn
Average at best? Where have I heard that before
Superstar 💪
Pujols 4 life.
Coming from a Astros fan
Coming from a Astros fan when we were in the NL
And he slugged the pitch by lidge out
Still hasn’t landed
Your Astros card is revoked. Resol
Sick

Elbow to the rib cage?!! Profound stuff...😂
Tio Albert
guarunteed there are a lot of hitters out there that just added some things to their routine.
Dominican 🐐💥💥💥
This guy legit is a top 2 right handed hitter ever and at his peak the best power hitter..not even a question
This isn’t the club. Let me listen to the sensei
Hey Al looks damn good for a 56 year old.
Hand that man a Marucci AP5.
He should never have left St. Louis
Stayed or not his injury hurt his career badly.
@@wowwt fair point but I will always remember him as a cardinal
Cuz i show up at 1:30 and you show up at 3:30 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The greatest modern hitter of all time didn’t cheat and play the game the right way.
Can you please manage this team?
Dude what’s with the obnoxious music during the whole interview
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴😯
you saw his stats and started laughing ?? i got what you meant but nah dont talk like that. keep it respectful.
How could you be his teammate and not ask these questions then? Guess the you show up at 330, ive been here since 1 comment shows the difference.
