_____________________________
Vladimir Guerrero was not only one of the most exciting people in the league during his time in Major League Baseball, he was also quite possibly the most unique player to set foot on the field in the late '90s and early '00s. As a member of the Expos, Angels, Rangers, and Orioles, Guerrero was an all-time great outfielder, set offensive records, and made MLB history on more than one occasion. In fact, it's possible he was a better bad ball hitter than almost any other player in MLB history, beating out fellow Hall of Fame-caliber players like Ken Griffey Jr, Albert Pujols, and Barry Bonds.
In this video, we'll take a look at how Vlad Guerrero went from an unknown prospect from the Dominican Republic to the most electrifying player in the game. Along the way, we'll explore his road to the show, his obstacles in Montreal and Anaheim, and the way his upbringing helped him become the best bad ball hitter in baseball.

The craziest thing about Vlad is that even with his penchant for swinging at terrible pitches, he only once struck out more than 90 times in a season and indeed had a few seasons where he walked more than he struck out. He was a truly unique hitter.

The Guerrero family has some absurd baseball talent. One brother and nephew also played in the bigs, multiple other brothers made it to MLB farm systems, and it took a completely unprecedented season from Ohtani to keep his son Vladdy Jr from winning MVP too.

It's bound to happen when a poor country goes all in on baseball like the DR does. It's a bit exploitive the way teams take advantage of it but it sure does provide a lot of opportunity for people who would never get it. You take the good with the bad I guess, that's just life.

Seeing good players going away all the time was so frustrating, but it was incredible how every time the team managed to find an incredible young talent that all the other teams glossed over. I remember that everyone loved Delino DeShields on second base and said the team was crazy to get rid of him, but then Mike Lansing ended up being even better. And then Lansing left and the fans thought the team was done, but out come Jose Vidro and he was just as good! The scouting talents on that franchise could have kept that team going forever... but unfortunately the management was horrible, and the fan presence just depressing and ultimately killed the team. :(

Dude hit .290 and said "I gotta hang it up" 🤣🤣🤣 that's a great year! One of my favorites, so happy he made it. I don't know how much the first ballot thing matters to the player but I do think he should have made the hall first time up. It's weird to me to go from below 75% of the vote your first time up then to 92% your second year. It's like the voters got together and said yeah guys we messed up get him in!

I’m not sure how the votes work but I think sometimes the voters will prioritize players who are about to lose eligibility, since a player falls off the ballot after 10yrs. Looking at the 2016 vote they let Tim Raines and Jeff Bagwell in, who were in their 10th and 7th year respectively. They probably just gave Vlad enough votes to stay on the ballot knowing they can just vote him in next year. Idk just a thought 🤷🏼‍♂️

Between 01-02, Vlad Sr had a combined 77 SBs. Thats about 42% of his carer total. Thats honestly the most random outburst of stolen bases I've ever seen. I honestly wish we had more guys going for a ton of stolen bases. Back in the 90s and 2000s, you'd generally see at least one of 30/30 a year. Now that rarely happens as J-Rod is the only one even close to getting to it this year.

@@thetexanshurtme that’s the point MLB today only cares about the HR. It’s gotten to the point MLB is changing rules to combat the imbalance win play. There are more SO than hits per game. So now you really can’t afford to lose a guy to a stolen base. Averages dropped so much, MLB banned the shift. I hate it now. People think Judge is good, when he’s the last hitter you want up in a clutch situation. He’s 4 times likelier to strikeout than hit a home run, 2x just for a hit. It’s insane. It’s not the scrappy game I grew up playing and watching.

Over the past five years there have been a total of nine instances of a player stealing 40+ bases. There were eight players with 40+ stolen bases in 2013 alone. The last time ten different players stole 40+ bases in a season was 2006. There were five instances of a player with 60+ stolen bases in the 2010s (and none so far in the '20s), compared with twelve in the '00s, seventeen in the '90s, and thirty-six in the '80s. Since 2015, it's been possible to steal fewer than 30 bases and still make it into the top 10 in the majors (not the league, the *majors*). The last time this happened was in 1981. The last time this happened in a non-strike-shortened season was *1971*. Update: Jon Berti's 41 stolen bases are the lowest total to lead the majors in a 162-game season since Luis Aparicio and Maury Wills stole 40 apiece in 1963.

Though I was never a fan of the teams he played for, Guerrero was a guy I always enjoyed watching. The borderline overly aggressive way he hit, ran, and threw was always entertaining and, as can bee seen by the fact he's in the hall of fame, it was also very effective. He had some of the best hand-eye coordination of anyone I've seen not named Tony Gwynn. The first time I saw his son was when Sr. had Jr. out on an MLB field and was having him hit soft toss in the outfield. He look somewhere between 10 and 12 years old I remember telling a friend that Jr. certainly had the genes to be an MLB player and by training with his Dad he'd have a good chance going far in baseball. Now, here we are with Jr. playing so well for the Blue Jays, though he still has lot of ground to cover to reach the heights of his father.

Some scouts also felt that Pedro was not durable due to his thin frame. They were also proven wrong on that count. MLB used to have very distinct style and personality. Vlad, Johnny damon, nomar, Paul O’Neil, manny, just to name a few. There were also some entertaining head cases like Yasiel puig. Now everyone has the same approach at the plate thanks to statcast. Some sort of barbershop quartet look is popular and everyone hits .240.

I saw him one time in Ottawa while he was in the minor leagues the year before he joined the Expos. Couldn't afford major league tickets in those days. Still can't. Attendance and $10 beer is for rich people.
