Everybody forgot about Julio Franco. Julio is a Dominican former professional baseball player and coach, who is a hitting coach for the farm team of the Lotte Giants of the KBO League. He spent most of his playing career in Major League Baseball (MLB), entering the major leagues in 1982 and last appearing in 2007, at which time he was the oldest active big league player. During that stretch, Franco also spent two seasons playing in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and one season playing in the KBO. Batting average .298 Hits 2,586 Home runs 173 Runs batted in 1,194

I think you got Griffey's stance/swing wrong. First off, he had this little arm pump while waiting for the pitch. HIs elbow would go up and down. Second, his swing ended always ended only holding on to the bat with his right hand, and the arc of his swing would end the the bat lower. Oh and one more thing... Smooth. Everybody knows his swing was silky smooth. Check out his official logo which shows his swing. The swing arc was upward, but came back down behind him with the single hand. I'd be interested to find out if that made a difference in how it felt for you.

Nomar Garciaparra had a real weird one complete with his obsessive glove adjustments between pitches every time he stepped out of the box

Tony Batista had the most unique stance I ever saw. He had both feet on the back line of the box and turned his waist to be in a hitting position.

I came here to say exactly this. Man used that weird stance to hit a broken bat hr at skydome.

I'd include Julio Franco, Mickey Tettleton, Jay Buehler, Moises Alou in the mix for weird batting stances!!

You need to watch and try Mickey Tettleton and Tony Phillips. Both have a very unique stance.

Ha. I just mentioned Mickey before reading the comments. A stance necessitated by all the pine tar!

Missing Julio Franco for weird swings. Ryne Sandberg had an amazing swing. I modeled my personal swing after his. And I dispise the cubs lol

Willie Stargell!! His whole batting style was strange. Big ol windmills, then a few fast ones right before the pitch came

Also, would’ve loved to see Julio Franco’s stance. I loved it so much as a kid that I used it for a while. It was really hard to use in game lol

Juan Gonzales from Texas Rangers back in the day . Loved his stance . Griffey had a good one too.

They still load usually right? So that is just pre pitch and wind up they don't usually swing from that bat position right? Or am I remembering wrong?

Hey bro, just a heads up, in my experience, MLB doesn't copystrike. I use tons of MLB footage in almost every video and haven't once got a single strike. Just sharing! Love the content brother.

Maybe that's why he was so good. Opposing teams couldn't get a scouting report on him because he kept changing his stance or appeared to

Go back in history. Dwight Evans on the Red Sox in the 70s and 80s had a weird stance.

Need to do Phil Plantier. Also, a righthanded swing can never replicate a lefty swing like Griffey. Great lefty swings have and will always be smoother than a righty.

Pujols around 2010 in his prime. Later in his career he didn't squat down as much as his legs wore down.

I modeled my batting stance after Kevin Youkilis (greatest stance of all time) and somehow managed to make it even more messed up. But I still crush the ball every time

There was one time that I was doing a pickup game and during BP, I just had no timing. After my second time swinging, I just decided to start doing weird batting stances. Tried a Youkilis stance and absolutely crushed the ball. I kept it going during the game and it kept working. It became my slump breaking technique after that.

I think the weirdest part about all these batting stances is how you step inward instead of outward when you swing LOL other than Jeff Bagwell I think most baseball players step outward a little bit when they swing but your feet get closer after you step😂

Julio Franco for sure. Also Willians Astudillo, La Tortuga baby!

Cal ripken stance next. I used to emulate it in practice, but had my own stance in the game.

Corbin Carroll has a unique stance

"Here's Ken Griffey Jr.....ground out to short" LOL. No! Don't do him like that lol

Yunel Escobar for sure! Gotta see a part 2

You should’ve done devers. He has a swing that makes every ball he hits look like a dinger. No wonder why he just won a silver slugger.

Hunter Pence looking like he drank 8 pots of coffee was pretty weird

My favorite batting stance by far, is Mike trouts, he just stands tall and does that tip toe rhythm step

now try the batting stance of the players that have the most home runs ever

I want to see Chipper Jones, A-Rod, Pujols, Trout, Hamilton, Sizemore. As for more weird stances try Andruw Jones & Julio Franco, Shawn Green, Trot Nixon

Galarraga, julio franco, Tony Batista, Jay buhner, albert belle, Mickey tettlenton

Another good one to try is Andre Dawson, Julio Franco And as far as best batting stance try Ryne Sandberg, I felt like His batting stance gave me the best timing on pitches

This is hilarious 😂. Best Lefty swing: Griffey Jr. Best Righty swing: Mark McGwire

Try to hit the infamous 106 pitch from Chapman :D

Need some Julio Franco, Tony Bautista, Moises Alou, Tsuyoshi Shinjo, and Juan Gonzalez

I didn't necessarily model my batting stance after these two pro players, but my batting stance from what I've been told is a cross between Gary Sheffield with a little bit of Jeter.

When u say greatest swing of all time, immediately the Kid popped into my head! Jr 100% greatest swing, absolutely beautiful

You want to see weird? Look up a guy by the name of Garth Iorg, an infielder for the Blue Jays in the 80s. He leaned so far back that he basically had to stand up into the pitch.

14:52 I was about to say that you have the weirdest batting stance (as a joke) but then I saw the batting stance and it IS the best of all time. I might have the weirdest batting stance. My legs are close together not bending, my arms are barely out, I hit lefty and when I swing, I let go of my bottom hand...... and then hit my butt with the bat.

The Bagwell stance is a good two strikes approach.

you missed one thing with Bagwell… he always twisted his hands and squeezed the bat, to the point where you could hear the batting gloves against the bat….. and Craig Counsell was my favorite, he would just basically reach up as high as he could with the bat😂

Do the greatest batting stances next.

Pujols had such a wide stance. I think the best stance was Chipper Jones.

Nice video mighty part 2 please

Cody Bellinger has one of the smoothest swings.

One factor not considered (unless I missed it) is bat size

Well we know why Youk was sweating buckets the man was playing with broken hands his whole career!

Julio Franco has to be top 5 strangest stances!!! Chuck Knoblauch was very different too.

I think, if anything, you just showed me that Bagwell got TORQUE! ⚾️🔥

I swear these dudes just making up the most agrejust stances for the content

I'd say you covered most of the strangest ones. I would say maybe if you do a part 2, Eric Davis has a really weird stance, so that's one to look for.

PLEASE tell me you did Aaron Rowands stance

Ted Williams and Ken Griffey Jr. had the most beautiful baseball swings of all time IMO

Thanks Mighty!

Need a Mighty Goat Baseball Bat Bros collab

Tony Batista is the most bizarre. He started by facing the pitcher

I thought you were gonna get a couple swings of Mighty Goat VI in there, maybe even an obnoxious bat flip to celebrate.

How did some of these guys get past little league without some coach making them modify their stance? Then they got through college/minors, and eventually, the Show looking insane in the box. Bags is a hall-of-famer. It's just wild.

Griffey s wasn't just the stance though it was all together. Stance with the swing

Mike aviles ,coco crisp, Mark Teixeira batting stance are weird lol

The Youkilis swings may have hurt, but you went two for three with them

I do have Craig Counsel as the second weirdest batting stance ever. It's like he's trying to reach for the heavens for the Lord's strength before swinging the bat.

Kudos for giving Bagwell a shot. Fairly certain he sat down more, top of the thighs parallel to the ground more.

You know what you're not doing, which is very important is ,,,, where they exactly stood in the batters box , some stood closer to the inside and some further from the middle .

Man Jeff Bagwell was way lower than that. Me and my brother used to make fun of him on how he would be sitting on the ground pretty soon if he gets any lower.

If Greg Councel and the cricket stance from Tony Batista's stances aren't included here you failed.

Chipper Jones. Similar to "The Kid's" but better imo

What about Julio Franco? Ty Cobb also batted with a his hand’s apart.

Ken Griffey has the smoothest swing of all time

Johnny Damon with his super open stance was pretty weird

I played against Youk in college his stance was 1000 times weirder at Cincinnati then after he got to the show

As a kid my coaches wouldn’t let me use the Sheffield stance, but to this very day it’s my wiffle ball stance.

Are you going out of your way to completely skip the load portion of these swings?

Tony Batista has by far the weirdest batting stance of all time.

Kevin youkillis 💪 weird stance but usually crushes it

I have Manny Ramirez as one of the best batting stances.

Griffy hands down no contest best swing ever.
