I know this guy didn't just say Ohtani is better than Babe Ruth 1:00. Must have been my imagination.

Ted Williams , author of the Science of Hitting . He was way ahead of his time in hitting swing analysis . The modern hitting Bible. He had the sweetest swing of all . What he would have done with today's technology and with modern training methods , OH MY .

The yammering bozo acting as host-moderator clearly knows nothing. He actually forgot that Mantle was a switch hitter. Unbelievable. He's even distracted by Ty Cobb's socks.

Of anyone on the list, I think Willie Mays’s swing translates the best to the modern era. That and his abilities as a runner and fielder. He would catch on very quickly.

Just started watching this video. Otani better at hitting than Babe Ruth you are insane

In Ted's historic .406 season in 1941, he was 6 RBI away from Triple Crown.

Of course they will be great

Ruth is the best ever. He would still be the best ever.

Pete Rose 🌹 The greatest hitter the game has ever seen.

The second I heard him say Ohtani was better than Ruth I clicked off the video

You guys always forget about The Great One, Roberto Clemente aka Mr.Humantarian ⚾⚾⚾

They would be great in any era

Wait did he just say Otani was better than Ruth at pitching AND hitting?

You don't have Walter Johnson, Bob Feller, Lefty Grove nowadays. Babe Ruth and the rest would definitely be hitting near 400

One of the greatest stats ever is that if you took away all of Hank's HR's, he'd still have 3,000 hits.

Watch Cobb's swing again, in his stance he had his hands apart but when he started his swing, he slid the top hand down for a regular swing.

OUTSTANDING Video Shooty and Brodie!!! Finally a video on why they play the game ....guys from my younger days,,,Can't wait to study Rocky Colavito and Harmon Killabrew,,

Also Ty Cobb played mostly in dead ball era when Home Runs were few and a lunging, chopping swing was necessary to punch the ball out of the infield. Cobb, lifetime .460 plus, would kill the jackrabbit ball of today.

The two best swings of all time, to me, Ken Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds

What was that? That was Ty Cobb hitting one of his .366 hits. That was what that was.

Babe Ruth hit with bats weighing from 40-54 oz according to Ted Williams book. Yeah the pitching is “better” now but the balls are juicier. And the fields are shorter now. Read Williams book The Science of Hitting. He talks about understanding the pitcher and going through all the different scenarios during an at bat. They all would adjust. Cobb and Ruth are probably the 2 who would likely struggle the most. But the passion and dedication would lead to perseverance and success in any decade.

Brodie ichiro swong like ty reaching. Make contact with Ball n things happen

Respect the past hitters they would make adjustments today Willie Mayes has so many all Stars because they play 2 All-Star games a year for a certain amount of years.

Hi Brodie, please do more livestreams soon, it's been quite a while since you did one

Ted Williams is the goat. Did all that and was in 2 wars during his prime

I enjoy watching Ted Williams swing a bat. That is silky smooth and efficient power.

Simple answer - NO. Pitching is MUCH better today. You see those 90mph sliders and splits...did not exist back then. These guys would have been very good, maybe 85-95% of what they were back then. Still great, really. Just take a look at the stances and swings back then - all that leaning in, big swings, all that motion. You can't do that against guys throwing as hard as they do today...velocity takes away hitting success.

Don't even need to watch it. Of course they would lol

If only we had stand up guys like that playing today, MLB would never have to worry about attendance issues

Ohtani better than Babe Ruth? Seriously?? And you "forgot" Mickey Mantle was a switch-hitter? Pal, I wouldn't let you analyze a pickleball tournament no less the greatest sport ever invented.

Yes. The superior nutrition and training would enhance their ability by a substantial amount. These guys hit 400 ft bombs. Clearly their genetics would translate to the advantages athletes have these days.

If Ruth was around today he would have a completely different swing and he would use a lighter bat, not to mention he would be 8n much better shape with modern nutrition and training.

Greatness transcends eras.

Sorry. Ty Cobb lifetime .360 plus.

Othani couldn't hold Babe Ruth's jock! Ty Cobb would dominate in today's game. Willie Mays would dominate. Ted Williams would dominate and lead the league in every hitting statistic. Hank Aaron was a low ball hitter and a great player. Mickey Mantle was awesome. People forget he has the fastest time from home to first all time.

Please.

willie definitely would be

chump actually said Otani (sp) is better than the Babe? these guys know nothing

Ruth ain't about the swing it was about the bat... He was swinging tree trunks . 106 outie was normal

This is a disgrace these men r legends they would hit anyone Ruth Williams Cobb Mantle Mays

Ridiculous question!

I don’t have a clue who Brodie Brazil is. What I do know is that he knocked Cobb for “lunging,” then called Aaron’s swing “timeless” (watch a slow-mo of Aaron Swing as see how far he moved forward); questioned the “loopiness” of Ruth’s swing, then claimed Mays’ bucket-stepping would translate well into today’s era. And said Ohtani is better than Ruth. This is a guy who wants Woke plaudits more than anything else and cares not a bit about analyzing baseball. Such is the state of sports “journalism”: a guy who knows dick about what he’s watching acts like he knows more about hitting than a guy who hit .367 for his career. What Ruth, Mays, Aaron, Williams, Mantle, and Cobb all had in common is that they let the barrel drop and used gravity and a front arm approach to drive their swing structure. What today’s “swing gurus” call “dumping the barrel” is precisely what those greats ignored and did anyway. The reason ? Because in 3D space, a parabolic approach to the ball - once gravity and overcoming inertia is factored in - is in fact the quickest path to the ball with a swung bat. Newton taught us that. There’s a reason Ruth hit for power and average with a 42 oz bat - and it had nothing to do with the era in which he played (his lifetime BA and HR production was roughly the same against HOF pitchers as it was all other pitchers). It was a product of hitting the ball hard often. I was literally embarrassed for this guy. He looked like a guy trying to BS his way through an oral exam by trying to say things he thought the teacher wanted to hear. Pathetic analyses.

Ty a slap hitter

Yes, they would be without using I PODS and any other electronic gadget that today' OTHANI uses.

Why is that fool in the blue suit wearing batting gloves?

Ohtani better than Ruth....lol...wow...simply wow.

Cobb has the highest career batting average of all time. If he played today, he probably wouldn’t be a league leader, but it’s insane to think he couldn’t hit at all.

goat talk is bad for the game

Cobb wouldn’t have played with or against black or Hispanic players.

Yes on Williams and Mays ; no on Ruth !!!!
