These DeRosa breakdowns are some of the best info a young hitter could watch
I was going to say. Teach a big athletic kid this and they will rake.
In a playoff game I’d take Alvarez over anyone else for one at bat with the game on the line.
That is why they said hofer already for a young player with playoff hits ala big papi....championship these two
100%. He is big game proven. Can't say the same about judge
People don’t understand this. That those guys like Trout, Judge, Ohtani haven’t proven themselves in October. They may have better stats in the regular season, but when it counts, Yordan has proven himself.
@@LanceSanchez-b5i trout hasnt been to the playoffs so we will never know about him lol
@@cceynar94he had his chance to get to a better situation and chose not to even pursue the pressure. As far as I'm concerned that's his fault but the fact of the matter is that if you don't prove yourself when the light shines the brightest it's really hard how to rank you above those who did even if your regular day to day numbers or accolades appear to be a bit better
Yordan is so underrated somehow man, if he played for the yankees or the dodgers he would be in more mvp conversations
He don't play in the field soo naturally people trend to forget or don't pick too munch interest in him... Mostly the poeple who know baseball knows when healthy he can be the best hitter in the game!! He don't have weaknesses in the batting box!! Perfect swing, clutch and IQ
@@alphaal1589 he plays a fair bit of LF and if people saying that Judge is mvp over Witt because Judge also plays defense on top of being a better hitter then Alvarez should also get that same leeway because god knows judge is average at best in center
@@diegoherrera0268he does not play a fair bit of left field. Only time he plays LF is when the Stros are feelings desperate and need more bats in the lineup or when players REALLY need a break but they would rather have someone else out there over him every time
Its because he only plays like half the games each season
He needs at least 40 HR to be in MVP conversation as a DH....
Lets have this conversation after the playoffs when Judge goes 3 for 23 with 13 Ks against the Astros like he has every year.
You think he's going to get 20+ at-bats in just the four playoff games the Astros will let them play?
Judge, Yordan and Shohei. The best power hitters. Yordan doesn’t get much publicity like Judge and Shohei but I don’t think he cares one bit.
Ozuna too
Very true, even in Astros interviews after the game he is very mellow and chill.
He doesn’t say much. He doesn’t wear chains.
The best things about his swing, and the reason he stays up the middle so much is because he keeps both hands on the stick
No. He, like all the great hitters, loads and stays loaded as he moves that he can snap the barrel at any time. That is why the barrel blurs out behind him, not in front of him like most hitters.
I’ve watched his at bats since 2019. Absolute freak show
Love Dero breakdowns, yordan is such a consistent and powerful hitter my favorite guy to watch hit in the bigs
Baseball Thanos
Just like the Astros
They are inevitable.
Yordan is a pride for Cubans, waiting to see him in the playoffs breaking the balls
Lets go Astros ! Love the breakdowns.
Mark is amazing at breaking down how to hit properly he was a really good hitter too when he was playing 👍🏽
Imagine only having to trade Josh Fields for this guy.
Jeff Luhnow is a genius
The Dodgers have been an excellent farm system for the astros.
Yordan low key is the 2nd best hitter since the start of 2022...and top 5 since 2019....
thank you dodgers for yordan
Great analysis. Appreciate these breakdowns, and the swinging artwork players like Yordan give us to appreciate!
Alveraz is yordaddy!!!!!
I would take Yordan over any other player with the game on the line.
In the postseason, Judge has a .211 BA with a .772 OPS in 44 games.
Yordan has a .295 BA with a .949 OPS in 58 games.
I'm taking Yordan all day, every day. Judge chokes when it matters.
And that's with a horrible rookie playoff run. In 2019, Astros fans were begging AJ Hinch to bench him for the first few series. Also, His 2022 playoff stats aren't very good, but he came up big when it mattered most.
Great upload!
Just wait until you see him in October.
As an Astros fan i would like to personally thank the Dodgers for being a great farm system for us....🎉
Love it! And why don’t they compare Judge post season to Alvarez post season stats, 😮 Alvarez wins!
Great breakdown! Plus, the videogame music is badass!
He has ice water running through his vains. Confidence at the plate makes for a relaxed, focused hitter. Knowing you can is half the battle.
Air Yordan!!! 🤘
2:26, I know, I thought it was a lazy fly ball
The other two I knew were gone as soon as he hit it 😊
Through out 1736 at bats which is Yordans years in mlb , remember judge is been longer than Yordan by 6 years in mlb : Yordan 441 hits 112 home runs 390 strikeouts
Judge 391 hits , 111 homeruns , 548 strikeouts
Not even counting the amount of times Yordan gets walked intentionally
Judge is the best hitter in the game ??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You make a good point.
Not only that but Judge faces off against garbage pitchin in AL East while Yordan has to deal with high tier pitching in the West like the Mariners Castilllo and Gill
K
But don’t forget to add Mickey Mouse stadium where judge lives so Yordan would probably have more home runs!
@@michoacan55 How do you know?
What’s sick is that LA could have had him as well and damn that would been super scary.
Yordan is better than Aaron Judge
When the lights shine bright he certainly is better than judge but this is the regular season and this is regular season analysis.
Great breakdown
Mark Derosa is so good at this job
He’s like Papi without the steroids.
Judge best hitter in the regular season… he fizzles when it counts.
"Taijuan Walker can't beat him with the heater".
Taijuan Walker can't beat no one... he should be released.
reminds me of Carlos Delgado a bit
A bit, but he is better than Carlos Delgado
El 4x4 de las tunas y del mundo
I would take Yordan any day over Judge. Judge is a great regular season hitter, in the post season he turns to shit. Yordan is the definition of clutch.
Yordan has the better type of swing against postseason pitching
Yordan will only get better with time too. Just like Judge has.
I’d love to see Yordan get the Goldilocks treatment
Post season numbers ….give me Yordan all day long
As Dodger fan, God I'm still upset this one got away.
Yordan Alvarez is better than Judge just in my opinion.
Yordan can be in a slump and still bat over .300. Think about that.
Let’s talk about this a little. MLB needs to change the pitcher win/loss rules. Framber throws 7 no hit innings, Hader blows the save giving up a 2 run HR in the 9th, Meyers and Altuve do the job to bring us back to win and Hader gets the win! NO WAY! Do a video on that. Talk about that.
If you still value win loss to the point that it gets you upset you're putting too much emphasis on it. A lot of people say it doesn't matter at all and I disagree because there is something about simply outperforming the guy on the other mound but the fact of the matter is there's too much in the hands of others to put a ton of emphasis on it
I will take Yoda any day, thank you.
He needs to analyze Jon singleton's swing, he can be good but he needs help
LA Dodgers traded this guy to the 'stros??? one of the worst trades in history. Whoever traded him should be reassigned to another job.
lol judge isn’t the best hitter in baseball, judge just hits fastballs
He's hitting 3:35 with 51 home runs and there's still like 30 games left LOL get out of here with that nonsense. With the game on the line I'm taking Alvarez all day though
I feel he has that many home runs bc I heard yankee stadium is very short
@@JoseTorres-cc1jo it's beyond small!!! That field looks like a softball park
@@JoseTorres-cc1jo it's not short everywhere. And to be fair the Crawford boxes in Houston are only 315 ft away. Random popups turn into home runs at 315. LOL
YORDAN IS "MEDIUM PAPI!" Just because he's smaller. Baby...SHAQ Do Dododododo Baby SHAQ, Do Dododododo.
Medium Papi? David Ortiz is 6’3” 230 lbs and Yordan is 6’4” 240 lbs. Yordan is Huge Papi lol
It's because his lefty...
Settle down, Houston fan here…..he won’t be doing that when he gets home
He hit one 400 feet tonight (just the wrong part of the ballpark)
He hit a home run tonight. And what the hell are you talking about? His most iconic home runs are at home
@@cheyenne11114 think Cheyenne think!, we are talking this year…he only has 9 at home, and 21 at away. I’m an Astros fan don’t worry I’m not knocking him just stating the facts.
Who keeps giggling I don't get what's so funny
And Espada is wasting his RBI potential batting him second in the batting order for the last 2 games.
Hitting him second means he gets more at bats bub. The game has changed and as long as the protection is thin he has to hit in the two hole. Who was supposed to hit behind him or in front of him these last two games to make you feel better?
@@cheyenne11114,
Altuve
Peña
Alvarez
Diaz
yordan over ohtani? hmmm....
Ohtani hits more HRs but Yordan might be a slightly better hitter. And of course the media attention is on Shohei, not Yordan. Yordan can’t run like Shohei though. And neither can Judge.
You forget he played for the angels so he was easier to pitch around and had to force the issue and was pitching which makes him valuable and this year he steals more....yordan used to field as well...him as a dh makes him like big papi
Yordan is a better Playoff hitter than Judge and pretty much everyone else!!
With the lights shining bright I'll take yordan Alvarez over anybody. Let's see these other guys prove themselves first
@@razkablewhat is this DH nonsense? You realize he's still plays in the field right? He just played left field tonight
He generates speed in the bat immediately. That’s HLP!! Turn the barrel behind the zone. Teacherman @castrobros
Too bad Yordan only plays like 50 games a season and will never win in any stats
That statement is not true.
I don’t hear this same argument when people talks about judge
Go look at his stats he has never played 162 and has only gone over 150 twice
Other than that only one season over 140 and the rest are less than 112
