We all know Ken Griffey Jr has the GOAT swing, but where does Gary Sheffield rank?

This makes me think of Manny Ramirez for a sec. That fool was so... well, he was :manny: about his approach, and that nikka's swing looked slow as fukk :laugh:

Piazza, too.

Bonds also used a shorter bat than most...and didn't really wave his shyt around like Sheff

Yeah if you look at that last video look at the position of Sheffield's bat right before the ball appears. Its damn near pointing at the pitcher. He had to do that to slow his swing down.

I switch hit, so when I bat left handed it's a Griffey stance/swing, right handed I bat like Sheffield, right down to the little bat wag.

Shout out to my Atlanta Braves fans...Chipper had a nice left handed swing too
Was it just the angle on tv, or was Chipper's right handed stance more closed and compact?

GOAT switch hitting stance is Victor Martinez', he stay with the exact same pose on each side of the plate :ohlawd:

Used to love Sheff man. Bruh hit the straightest line drive home runs Ive ever seen over the left field wall. His swing was really a rubberband type of swing like Darryl Strawberry. He just tried to generate as much torque as possible on his swing.

this is true, breh. Left handed Chipper opened up alot more compared to his right
