left handed hitters vs right handed hitters.

[askG]

is it me or do leftys just have the most beautifulest swing?...will clark...ken griffey...crime dog...bonds...palmeiro...etc etc...it seems right handed hitters are more raw...and leftys just have a natural swing thats just looks too sweet...anyone else notice this?...or maybe its just me, maybe some phsycological thing, optical illusion or some shit?

Naw its tru!! Strawberry had a beautiful swing as well!! It was similar to Bonds swing!! And when he would hit a homerun, it wouldnt even seem like he hit the ball that hard!! GOT EM!!!

don't forget about MO VAUGHN -- back when he was on the bo sox!!

GOT EM!!

lefties got way better swings. i can see that first hand with my own brother. he started switch hitting at 10 years old, now he is thirteen and his lefty swing a way sweeter than his righty swing.

and that is that he is a natural righty

Strawberry had a hideous swing...he never got extended..it was amazing how that guy hit jacks...he was a true phenom....if you wanna talk pretty swings you cant leave out...Jim Edmonds,JD Drew,John Olerude and Ben Grieve...but the prettiest hack in baseball right now belongs to a righty and that cat is Edgar Martinez...his swing is so fluid and smooth...it looks like hes barely swingin the stick and he hits P Rod after P Rod...

I dont think Strawberrys or Vaughns swing was anywhere near pretty.....especially Vaughns......he always ends up on the other side of the plate when he whiffs.....But you cant forget about Delgado, Chavez, Ichiro, Helton, Anderson......

And some nice righty hacks are Ramirez, A-Rod, Nomar and of course Edgar....

I don't know about the actual swing, but the success of left-handed hitters comes largely in part by facing a majority of right-handed pitchers. I have noticed that the swings do seem a bit smoother, but I never really took a whole lot of notice to it though.

Well I guess we all have our own opinions in this to!! But to me Strawberry had one of the sweetest swings in baseball!!! G. Anderson's swing is boring and not sweet to me, neither is Martinez so go figure!!! GOT EM!!!

I personally think bonds' swing does not have the typical beauty that a lefty has. He has a more compact swing that lacks the extended arms of griffey or any other lefty. but that compactness is waht makes his swing much more effective than all the others.

bonds swing is NOT sweet, it is vicious
