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.

@@hasbullaplaysbaseball Facts man he won MVP with the pirates before steroids and I just don’t see that talked about

@@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.

100 percent! Ted Williams and Pete Rose have approaches to hitting!

Lol 😂! He had impressive bat to ball skills

Yeah it’s awesome how different approaches work for different guys.

I made a new video including Tony Gwynn amongst others‼️ Check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lb-KhrGT2qqyfn0.html

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!

100 percent! He’s giving respect to one of the best hitters of all time

Thank you!! I am planning on make a part 2

No problem man, I’m glad you enjoyed it

100 percent!! He doesn’t need the Hall to validate his amazing playing career. One of the greatest and smartest hitters in MLB history!

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

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.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Yeah so true. What he was saying was so simple but so effective

@@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.

@@davidmoss2576 exactly if you can have perfect timing, it doesn’t matter how fast or slow someone throws

True! He has a solid approach to hitting

Lol different cues work for different people

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.

Definitely, good people to listen to in terms of hitting!

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!

Lol I’m not sure

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.

@@Garrett1240 Yes mam!!!

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

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?

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.
