There’s no freaking way. Best baseball collab ever

[oreocute]

Crazy how effortless druws swing looks

[ninja_adw]

Druw's swing is so short and quick, it's crazy!

[jordan_tbsbll]

Y’all blowing up a ton. Y’all literally got a top draft pick on the video. Keep up the hard

That’s the difference between a good hitter and a great hitter:
Will became a completely different hitter when he picked up the wood bat. But give that dude a drop 8 and he’s lethal 😂
Druw looked MORE comfortable swinging wood. Freaking laser show.

[IAMTHEMLKMAN]

It amazes me how much power Druw can generate with such an effortless swing.

[romandiaz]

Absolutely infectious personality can’t wait to him perform over the next couple years

[haltz]

Druw gets his hands through so fast. Same thing with Rutschman, and you really see it with the wood bats. Will rakes but these guys are just different.

Different topic and maybe an odd video request, but I've started playing softball recently for the first time in my late 30s. I have a loopy left-handed swing, hit of plenty bombs in HS and college and the power just doesn't translate to slowpitch. I'd love to see you breakdown the difference in your swing for both contexts.

I feel like druw is the type of player that every youngster should model his game after. He’s extremely quick, both on his feet and with his hands. He also has good plate discipline and is a good team leader. Great vid guys

[KEVGO]

Druw just has that effortless power, much like a Griffey swing

[timw.]

He has the base hitter swing, nice and fluid.. Still some work to do to get in the show, ya know. Cool vid, I am a year late!

[MrRolltide]

This was awesome Will! His dad is still one of my favorite Braves of all time.

[tannerdoyle]

The difference between Druw and Wills’ commentary below their names😂. Druw: a bunch of great stuff. Will: BP GOD😂. I fricking love it dude. Keep up the amazing videos bro

[joshuawoodard]

16:49 Yessir!!! Y’all took my recommendation. I would be specific about turn models, types of wood, and brands for each individual bat ranking. Maybe throw durability in there as well. And obviously u gotta do wood composites.

[viperz]

Keep up the great work guys y’all are one of the reasons why I got into baseball👍

[Solemn_Kaizoku]

That dinger at 11:52 might just be the best sound I've ever heard out of a metal bat.

[johnmartinez]

Ik it’s the way you guys always done it but I’d love to see each person swing 3-4 times then switch rather then once or twice then switch

[ShotByHype]

This is what the Internet has been waiting for!

[atbsigma]

I hope Druw goes far and stays around the right people in his journey! Those swings are quick and lethal!

[kimhater]

Tomorrow is draft night and I was able to see druws uprising through middle school and it was crazy to see him finally win his state championship and tomorrow night is his draft night I can’t believe it
