foul ball, of all his 700+ HR, you pick a foul ball
David Perrins right?
lolololol!!!! ikr, but you still saw his progressions lol
yeah .. like what is with that?
đ he was trying to show us how to hit foul balls..
i'm like, 'WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!"
tens of thousands of swings and we slow mo the foul ball...
Sometimes in life, it's all we have.
Still at power V, same homerun swing
RACISM! A foul really
@@Hardballleather no not really, thats why it was a foul ball
Clearly not one of his 762 home runs...
who the fck puts a slowmo of a foulball
Scary awesomeness... Best batting practice power I ever saw. Barry Bonds #HOF
Hands down one of the most beautiful swings of all time
Griffey Jr, and it's not even close.
@@ThekiBoran stop kid. We get it we all know you're a lemming just following the pack, and while Junior swing was beautiful we baseball players see beauty a bit different than you normies. Bond swing was flawless the mechanics are so perfect it almost literally can't get better. And like Juniors it's very fluid one single motion it looks like in full speed, like a machine. lastly, and out of the two we both know which one is more efficient based on the numbers don't we đ€š.
@@erichvonmanstein6876
Kid? I've been playing organized ball for 45 years, got a game this coming Sunday, I've managed teams, coached little league, been on the board of directors of a 30-team league, played at a major league stadium 3 times and against convicted felons at a state prison twice, even played in Asia a few times, and I've studied swing mechanics for years. Trust me, Griffey, Ruth and others have much better swing mechanics than Bonds. It's not even close. Griffey's baseline swing, (on a fastball right down the middle), is pure perfection. Go look at slo mo of Griffey and take note of the bat and arm positions at the start of the forward swing and up to contact. Pure perfection. Bonds video game stats are roid stats made possible by fraudulent fast twitch muscles.
Now run along little boy.
@@ThekiBoran didnt even read that ole bulls#&t you wrote kid. I could tell from the first few words it was just you having a menstrual moment. When you wanna REALLY know about baseball go ahead and come back to this section and write something relevant đđ
@@ThekiBoran dude you just sat him lol
BRO YOU MADE ME WAIT 40 SECONDS TO WATCH A FOUL BALL lmfaoooo i cant stop laughing... great swing and all but he dipped so far he got under it... this is funny af lmao
If you ever watched the video on why he chokes up on the Bat he made a very great point. He says he doesn't like being Jammed inside so he Chokes up so when he is Jammed you will still hit part of his barrel. That's why he hardly ever breaks his bat. Straight genius
Straight genius? That shit is common sense lmao
@@Snowstorm1200 if it was common sense players would do it and hardly ever break they bat. đ€·đżââïž
A beautiful thing.
God, that swing is so efficient
I been searching for how to hit a foul ball. Thx đą
Rumor has it that ball went 425 feet backwards.
Fastest swing I've seen in almost 50 years of following MLB.
Roids will do that.
perfect swing
Just look at his swing, and talent. You should understand why his numbers are what they are. It's not because of roids. This dude was utterly amazing.
MichaelMick I couldn't agree more. Put anyone else on steroids and they wont even come close to putting up the numbers he produced. He is one of or is the best player of all time in my mind.
+MichaelMick Well he put up HOF caliber years well before he did drugs, that much is definitely true. 3 MVPs, 8 GGs and nearly 500 HRs before he ever used them.
Yes sir!! Truth is truth!
Well without steroids he wouldn't be the all time leader in home runs, walks, single season home runs, or intentional walks. He would still be the only man ever with 500 HR and 500 SB. He would still have 3 MVP awards and 8 Gold Gloves. But he wouldn't have been 1/50 of the player he was after 1998.
+Andy lol
Even in slow motion that bat speed is incredible. One of the very best to ever do it, baseball royalty. People talk that steroid use talk that gave him some sort of edge. But 'roids don't increase hand eye coordination, reaction time, ball selection etc etc. Let's talk about this big ass shoulder pad he was wearing on his right elbow!!!! Being able to crowd the plate like he did and dared you to pitch too close and risk either hitting him and sending him to 1st, remember he stole hella bags. Or him annihilating anything thrown in the zone. That's what gave him the "edge" not steroids. Oh and choking up on the bat!! Devastating.
The difference between a guy that hits 300 and one that hits 250 is bat speed and strength. The guy that hits 300 can wait longer. Steroids will make you stronger, quicker and recover faster. Elbow pad has nothing to do with it
It was the elbow pad ? C'mom man !!!!
Even the camera can't catch up with Bond's bat speed
it can, but this resolution and quality is low
...wow...the power...wow...

The best to ever to play the game
PEDs or not Barry was an incredible player. His hitting mechanics and baseballâs IQ were on a different level.
@@INYB
I personally donât know Barry Bonds to say heâs a failure as a human being. Maybe you do. I can say for sure that his career stats and the hitting mechanics displayed on this video are in a whole different level
No he was not. Just another coward cheater.
@@williamhendershot5495 Obviously you donât like Barry and based on your comments youâre just a discontent fan and not a previous ball player to appreciate this masterpiece of a swing. PEDs as far as I know doesnât give you hitting mechanics like that.
Thanks bond had many rookie cards , now they will make great shims
He's got some Sheffield going on with those wrists waggling that bat
Bonds and Sheffield played in the same era, they even trained together, if anyone was borrowing it was Sheffield from Bonds
Take a look at Mantles swing
Left or right it is awesome.
No, its really not
@@erichvonmanstein6876
It really was.
@@ThekiBoran dont be stupid
When i watch this video i realize how difficult this swing is. Looks complicated to me. But to him was heaven! Very powerful swing and accurate to the ball. Didnt need to do any PEDs to have success mr Barry
What? Its a very simple swing dude wtf?
@@erichvonmanstein6876 Dude i bet you never played ball in your life. This swing is full of DONTS in mechanixs.
@@franc587 yeah we can see by how it "didnt" work right? you a dummy.
@@franc587 but then again this is coming from the idiot eho says "this swing looks complicated to me" BWAHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA moron.
@@franc587
Ms. Womanstein has troll comments all over this video. He's a poop disturber, he's the turd in the punch bowl.
Actually this is great footage , Barry was late here hence foul ball. One of the greatest hitters of all time ! Even with the asterisk!
Bit there isnt one thoughđ€·
GOAT!!!!!
What was Bonds' career ERA?
@@ThekiBoran im not sure if he ever pitched but when teams walk u with bases loaded .. you must be pretty good
@@eveliovarela2279
Babe Ruth's career ERA was 2.81 and his W-L record was 94-46. Ruth also held the WS record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched until Whitey Ford broke it 40 years later.
real HR king Hank Aaron
You certainly wouldn't teach any of Bonds' pre load mechanics...he is filled with *don'ts* lol
But right before contact he brings it all together nicely. His hand/eye coordination must have been off the charts!!! 2 most notable things to me is how well he 'walks away from his hands' and how long and nicely his barrel stays in the hitting zone.
Its fine and he doesnt "walk away from his hands" if it looks that way on this then now you know why it was a foul ballđ€·
@@erichvonmanstein6876 2 different opinions then....no problem.
@@tima.478 đ
What was wrong with his loads on his back leg and hip upper body loaded bat in great position to drag as rope overhead his back shoulder very similar to Ted Williams and Babe Ruth among others for the type of approach he had I would say he is so a great job of maxing out compressive and tension forces
Barry Bonds, especially in this swing has the most physical perfect power baseball swing. I have studied and written extensively about the physics of power baseball, both hitting, and pitching. Barry's swing is one of the most physically perfect baseball swings I have ever seen (analyzed using the laws of the universe that we are all slaves to). I am starting to change my mind about him being in the Hall of Fame. But I still have reservations because mechanics is not everything. Cat like reflexes, timing, and eyesight are all keener when on steroids. Couple those advantages to a physically perfect power baseball swing might give him the home run record. His impeccable power baseball swing mechanics is what made him so great, and who knows, he could have been naturally endowed with the cat like reflexes and eyesight to put him over the top without the steroids he allegedly used.
It really is a thing of art. Zero wasted movement and the force generated with his hips through the whip of the bat head. I once talked to a professional pitching coach about the toughest player to scout against, he said hands down Barry Bonds- a pitcher could make one mistake in a 3 game series and that ball is getting hit out of the park.
He was great before he ever used drugs, that much is sure. The problem though comes when he's hitting his physical peak in his late 30s. That's just not natural. Without drugs you can expect raw power to peak in the 20s and skill to peak in the 30s with the two converging at about 30 years old.
If Griffey JR wasn't plagued with injuries after joining the reds he would be the HR King.
jkeee123e Steroids don't help with timing and reflexes, dumb ass. Don't just regurgitate everything you read.
Reaves MO raw power peaks into your early thirties if youâre a real athlete. Not twenties. Speed is greatest in your twenties. Power is thirties. Donât believe me, check with US SOF.
I got the juice I got the juice
Its all about how he finishes with that top hand. Perfect
Can you explain more about that top hand and batting good and great in general 𧏠đ đ
Look at him chocking up on that bat lol
So? Choking up is situational, and in the right situation, it can make quite the difference. Bat speed over power is important.
iambiglucas no shit/ Thanks Captain Obvious. Are the Redcoats coming?
Probably.
@@iambiglucas
Both are important.
762 homeruns and we get a foul ball for slow mo. Any ways that guy was a beast.
The same swing Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig used. Exactly.
Thanks. Now I know the proper swing to hit a foul ball
best swing in baseball, steroids or not.
Best swing ever belonged to Ted Williams- Bar None!
Griffey Jr
Griffey and it's not even close
Griffey had a âprettierâ swing but not nearly as effective as Bonds swing. Iâd take Bonds swing every time!
@@flyfish525 that's a claim and not a fact.
sweet foul ball!!
welcome to Miami
not really maybe the load in the hands but harper and ruth have more similar swings
Yes, of course already mentioned, but why would a foul tip be the best example of the swing
I agree but itâs not a foul tip
Damn his feet are really close together. I just watched a mike trout swing and you can see all his weight transfer to his front foot. Idk it looks like bonds is leaning back on his back foot his entire swing
Yeah, it's pretty amazing, he rotates more. There's a slight moment where the weight is a bit more towards the front foot but quickly gets back to the back foot once the rotation completes. Look how compact it looked: czcams.com/video/Eb6jy4giUgI/video.html
he fouls this ball off
Almost identical to Ted Williams. They even have that same hitch.
back elbow higher than front hand fist
My argument is the roids did not have a massive impact on his overall numbers. My reasoning is that is that from 2001-2004 he averaged 189 walks a season. He was getting way less than 500 AB those years because no one would pitch to him. One yea the had less than 400 and was healthy and played everyday
The 'roids did have a huge impact. Period. He is just another cheater.
@@redrum9484 I never said they didnât have an impact, but he was a HOF player regardless. He hits 650 without
@@awakentotruthmichaelsmith4698 No, he was not. He is a cheater, plain and simple. He will never be in the hall, and does not deserve to even be in the record books.
@@redrum9484 ok buddy. Clearly you are pretty clueless and have not even kept up with the chain of events. Bonds didnât even start using until his was 34, at the point he already had 450 hr and had been one of the best players in the league for a decade.
@@awakentotruthmichaelsmith4698 He is a bum. Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat. You do not know when he started using for sure. Guys a liar. No hall for him.
RIGHT a FOUL BALL ha !
#HeyPlausiblyEntertaining!
Why would you pick a foul ball?
Yo, how you gonna go super slow mo for a foul tip?
Bro he flew way tf open
ăăĄăŒă«ăăw
đ€Łđ€Ł
Damn. Look at the bulk on that body. Unreal. So glad to see that baseball has abandoned this bad man, who referred to his team-mates as his supporting cast, and didn't even show up for team photo day. I know a member of Bonds' posse who reported seeing bottles of roids, needles and cotton balls splayed actoss this kitchen counter on a daily basis. And I watched him tell a little black girl that he wouldn't sign her baseball, then directed her to "my people" who would sell her one. I watched this. At least he didn't beat her up like he beat up his wife.
Did you make a youtube account just to post this comment?
After looking at this slow mo if you seriously still think roids was the reason then you obviously never tried to hit a 90mph+ pitch
Too choppy
I was lucky enough to watch Reggie Jackson in his prime. Bonds has a quick swing that you donât blink on. Jackson was just pure raw power that sucked the oxygen from the catcher and home plate umpire. They were two classic sluggers.
Jackson also has a major league leading 2500 srikeoutsđ€·
@@erichvonmanstein6876 And if I recall correctly, a plaque in The Hall of Fame
@@SgtBooker44 and?
@@SgtBooker44 is that supposed to mean something?
@@SgtBooker44 rather gloat about him being a multiple world series champ then having his picture in some weak outhouse you get into from the votes of writers and other idiots that never playedđ€·
Lol my man is the best ever and you chose a foul ball for this!?!? Might as well use a strike out đđđđ€Ł
Hilariously anticlimactic foul ball ending
Gone
Note to people who create slo motion videos... DONT OVER DO IT for Christ sake!!! It still needs to be fast enough to be able to watch.
"Slow Motion"
Foul!! đ
if u hate on this u just simply dont like baseball or sports in general for that matter
Not much bat angle. Must be a flaw.
He was late and fouled off a bad pitch. Need good solid mechanics to be able to do that
Bro even if he didnât do roids he probably still would have been really good

How to hit a foul ball really hard: Do more steroids than anyone else in MLB
Everyone saying he was a hof without the roids. Then why did he take them? He was already a beast right ? In my opinion steroids helps a lot
He was the best player of the 90s natty and got zero spotlight because of the home run races. Homie said âfuck this shitâ and showed everyone what happens when a true all time talent decides to even the playing field.
@@jason8079 still cheated đ
Really? A damn foul ball? Views on this shouldn't even count....
lol foul lol lol
too drugy
Who I this guy man swing no too good not too bad u know he swing at the plate with his bat and he no swing too bad and no too good either I say in the middle
Same swing as Jose Batista
+Roshan Sanjeev Not even close. However, his swing *is* nearly identical to Ted Williams'. Eerily similar.
Jays fans are fuckin dumb lol
+Reaves MO not close
Foul ball? Couldn't get anything by him for the last few years. I remember when I was a teen getting mad any time the Dodgers wouldn't walk him.
Forgot to factor all of the roids that went into this swing.
At least with roids we know they are cheating to win. With gambling we can't be sure, they could be cheating to lose.
Roids are a hell of a drug.
Too bad he fouled that one off.
LOL slow mo foul ball. What a troll video.
Lol, foul ball
shit happens
Why tf are you posting a missed swing why would we want to emulate a bad outcome!?!?
Not a swing roids
Not a good example of his swing . He pumps his bat here before he works his elbow back to load.
All I hear is ROIDS this ROIDS that. If you donât have the hitting mechanics you wonât be able to hit a 98mph fastball out of the park even if youâre Mike Tyson or Stallone
You highlight a foul ball, this says a lot about you mate. A lot .
The poster of this video should be banned from all social media platforms A foul ball???
Are you fucking serious?? A foul ball?
Who cares about this cheater?!
CHEATER ROID USER.
Im sorry but that was not a good swing ......first off it's a foul ball already mentioned ...he opens up and practically falls over to one side as he is unbalanced ....love Bonds , but this was not one of his best swings at all....
