i also like shawn green's (no video :( )
sosa's swing looks so smooth with little head movement
sometimes shawn green has a swing that looks like bat drag, but it isnt which i thing looks cool
if he takes the pitch, he steps in from momentum but if he swings he stays balanced

In that Sosa clip, his leg action/lower body action right before footplant and into contact looks earily similar to Pujols current actions.
Any chance some video wiz coul match up a Sosa/Pujols thing from right before footplant into contact???

Cory Patterson's is definitely different, I'm not a fan though. I'm a fan of a swing like ummm.... Lyle Overbay. I love a nice smooth swing.

I've always liked watching Soriano bat myself. I don't know if it's his stance or his swing or what, but he's got some quick hands and it's fun to watch.

I remember saying this ages ago & got laughed at :(
When he hits a HR & his bat cums around it looks really good :gt

Baroid's is the most efficient ever.
Manny Ramirez, hands down the best swing in baseball.

Ichiro.No one does it like him,and no one could ever do that so well.The guy is half way to first before a groundball hits the ground.

Past players...Ryne Sandberg. As long as he wasn't fishing for a low and outside breaking pitch. Uncomplicated, efficient swing.
Present players...Manny. Looks so effortless, ball goes so far.
Fun past player...Phil Plantier. King of the toilet seat hitters.

In my Opinion Griffey has the best swing in baseball by far it is just so smooth and looks like he is using no effort but I think that this is because he is a lefty and all lefty swings in the bigs just look so smooth this might be because their is alot more rightys in the game then their are leftys.

Ohfor, do you notice any significant changes in Barry's swing from his Pirates and early Giants days to the years of his power explosion?
