(1:05)That kid’s batting sequence had a whole anime transformation scene and it wasn’t even his last form.

That little Japanese pitcher (Masanori Ishikawa) running away from Tony Batista has been a staple in the Japanese version of all-time baseball bloopers. It took place in 2005. Hard to blame him, he's barely 5'6", and is still active at age 44 with 186 career wins as of July 2024.

I miss weird batting stances, it's one of the things that actually got me into baseball. Craig Counsell turning his body into a stick and holding the bat up as high as he possibly can will always be the best. Alfonso Soriano is one of my all-time favorite ones.

It’s insane Julio Franco wasn’t mentioned in this video. He had one of the most unorthodox stances and played 25 years until he was 48, had a lifetime .298 average, and was only 400 hits away from 3000

Growing up in Milwaukee, we always imitated Craig Counsell’s stance and our coach always told us to stop “dickin’ around”

1:05 This isn't a stance, it's Art.

Some of my fondest early teenage memories, like ‘95-‘97, was backyard homerun derby at my dawg Chuck’s house. No regular batting stances allowed, only MLB imitations. Todd Hunley was my fav, Bagwell a close 2nd, Julio Franco & Gary Sheffield are up there too. Tie breaker round was always Chuck Knoblauch style

As a kid growing up in the 90’s, watching Andres Galarraga’s stance was a blast. Unique stance and power. He deserves more recognition

9:08 the pitcher was so scared of him🤣🤣🤣

[MrMurraypants]

Gary Sheffield is by far my favorite batting stance. It's like a metronome. But it's a functional distraction to the pitcher as well. I can see how it may act like a hypnotic effect.

I was not ready for that Garth Brooks segment

Remember everyone: it’s only stupid if it doesn’t work

1:20 kid is playing mario sluggers with all the taunting

My brother(s). I am impressed how much you live and breathe baseball. I watch your content more than actual games, everything i need to know about baseball i can get from you. Let me know if you ever want to hit up the batting cages...i'm drunk and loose enough...

As a kid, watching Jim Thome on the 03-05 Phillies was a treat. It wasn’t really a weird stance, but he held his bat real high like a broadsword aloft. And he absolutely put balls in the stratosphere this way.

0:26 bro thought he was in super Mario sluggers💀💀💀💀

[leoa]

Bagwell’s stance always got my attention when I first started to watch baseball as a kid. Sadly that was during the 2004 and 2005 season. When he retired shortly afterwards. I really wish he got a ring.

[bobdole]

Bagwell's thighs were freaking tree trunks. That low stance was so steady, it was like he was sitting on a chair. Insanely strong legs is why he could do that stance.

1:15 that's not a baseball player, that's Anakin Skywalker
