Ozzie,

I hear what everybody is saying and I guess I look at the results from what somebody is doing. Griffey does have a sweet "power" swing, makes for some huge taters but his avg says that he is not making contact as many times as the others in the group. I would say the best pure free throw shooter in basketball would have to be Rick Barry and he shot underhand. Again, high percentage, ugly looking but pure motion, nothing compared to MJ or Bird but higher percentage.

Ok windy, this may end this debate. Let's say your coaching a senior in high school, never played ball before. Are you gonna teach him to take 2 runnings steps to hit the pitch, or tell him to be balanced, stride, and rotate the hips.

I'm guessing he'd teach that nonsense Ichiro does... crazy.gif

Two undeniable facts regarding this issue. Bonds has a sweet swing, and he took steroids.

I haven't seen a contact percentage stat, so I don't care if a guy has a horizontal swing plane for 2 ms longer than Bonds if he's just hitting a dribbler to short. Bonds is technically a great hitter with a near perfect swing in my opinion.

Ichiro has good hands and speed, but not a great swing. By the way didn't Knoblach have a flat swing too.

I guess the big hurt never really impressed me much either.

On a side note, if we are talking hitting without A-rod, we're forgetting a pretty good ball player with the ability to hit any pitch in the zone to all parts of the park.
