- Barry Bonds explains fundamentals of hitting
Marlins hitting coach Barry Bonds breaks down his three keys to hitting with Eduardo Perez.
If you count his career stats only thru 1998 before the numbers got really outrageous and PED was suspected... he still had 411 home runs, 445 stolen bases, 8 Gold Gloves, 3 MVP's, 5x 30/30, 1x 40/40. Hall of Famer!
simplygu best player in baseball before roids
MANCHESTER UNITED because it’s world wide dummy
@MANCHESTER UNITED
Soccer sucks.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Soccer is huge because it’s a poor person’s sport that requires basically no setup; you need a ball, and something to use as a net. Every other sport requires dedicated field setups, and expensive equipment. You love soccer but have no idea why it’s globally popular, so shut the fuck up.
Dude is the 🐐
When you can explain something simply, you've mastered it.
ball hit bat, ball go boom.
Truth bro legit
FACTS!!!!!!! 💡
What’s funny is bonds almost fell over after half his swings. But it was balanced during the swing. You’ll see coaches tell players if they’re unsteady after the swing they did it wrong. Looking at Bonds’ success, this way of thinking is obviously bullshit.
Catching the ball with your bat is called bunting.
I'm still amazed at the numbers he put up when he was walked half the time.
Alex Peredia drugs are one hell of a drug my friend
Something tells me you're just following the herd and claiming "steroids!"
Look at his stats before 1998 (when he was presumed to have started taking them), and he was still the best player in the league by far
Zach Gardner His most impressive feat in my opinion is getting walked with the bases loaded and that was before roids
Zach Gardner Best player? His defense wasn't that great. You want a great hitter plus a great fielder? Then look no further than Ken Griffey Jr. In my opinion, Junior is the best baseball player ever.
E.A. Hawley True the closest comparison I could put to jr is trout
Man I wish it was this easy lol. Barry was amazing!
Antonelli Baseball yo what up Matt
Antonelli in the house
Yes he was! Thanks for the great videos Matt!
Hands up??? He did the total opposite! His hands were down to his knees before hitting.
Right! I still had to see what Bonds had to say just bc anything Bonds says pertaining to hitting is worth taking in, but this won’t make you a better hitter lol.
"I ain't no golfer." (Perfect form on his swing) 😂
Yes... and he actually said it right... golfers already have the swing than they get that driver in their hands and start trying to do too much where their swing breaks down...
Funny...
The comment I was looking for
Funny enough the feeling of the bat being an extension of your arm also applies to golf. Different tool, same principle
Funny he used the phrase....I ain't no.....because in 1992 I went to a celebrity softball game where pro athletes and celebrities played a game and it was on ABC sports. Barry's dad, Bobby Bonds was throwing catch with Barry before the game, and some kid said...Mr. Griffey....Mr. Griffey..... he was looking for an autograph. Barry Bonds says....Griffey....I ain't no Griffey!
"I don't care if you throw 100 mph. I don't care if you throw 120 mph. There's a catcher behind home plate & that catcher catches that ball everytime with a glove, only thing I did was change the object from a glove to a bat, all I do is catch it."
Awesome way to describe batting.
get a life quoting all that
Yea that was really good
i wish i knew this when i played. catch the ball with the bat
I mean… it’s a great quote, it’s hard to actually do😂
@@JCrushFitnesscan’t be harder than trying to get laid😂
Anyone who played baseball for a significant amount of time knows how hard it is to hit. Barry was one of the best finding his pitch and just raking the ball.
My coach is best friends with him and I've been able to meet and work with him multiple times. He's super humble and talks to you as if he is just another ballplayer. Really cool experience
Me and my fam are really good friends with him too... Dude is sooo humble... Down to earth dude... Taught me how to really hit the ball
Barry is the greatest hitter that will ever live
Yep
facts
Babe Ruth was better.
Nah, Ichiro is the greatest hitter. Bonds is a top-tier hitter and the greatest home run hitter.
@@TheBatugan77Please. Bonds skin is kissed by the ☀️ sun . Therefore hes automatically better than vampire babe ruth
This man is a genius... greatest hitter all time... facts...
The guy was phenomenal. It’s absolutely astonishing what he did. He should be in the HOF
He should not

One thing he said years ago is something that stayed with me. 'You're catching the ball with your bat.' Glad he said something similar at the start.
Great tips, said with clarity and conviction. You can tell he practises what his craft in a unified, consistent manner.
Yup, no hesitation whatsoever on those questions, which it seemed obvious to me were kind of thrown at him on surprise. Dude knows what he is talking about.
Whatever you say man, this guys knows more about the baseball swing than than any of us ever will

Steroids or no Steroids. Barry was amazing, he still is the greatest player to ever play. Thank you Barry for all the great memories. I miss watching you at Candlestick & AT&T Park.
Best hitter ever. Dude was so locked in
he is the greatest hitter of all times
Barry is something special. Much admiration for probably one of the best hitters ever in Major League Baseball.
Probably????? No question. Probably the most feared.
Incredible wisdom on the mechanics and his golf analogy is perfect too
He figured out how to not breakdown the motion of a smooth swing which sounds easy and is ridiculously hard 💪
Wow! That golf analogy is spot-on.
You belong in the Hall, Bonds.
Bonds Was Robbed Bonds Should've Been In Alongside Griffey And Piazza
True. Wasn't he taking steroids in the first place for pain?
Yes sir!
Team Diaz shouldn't have had steroids he never needed them
He does not
absolutely the greatest hitter ever. maybe the greatest player ever. steroids or no steroids.
Barry is one of my favorite players... Awesome athlete
The man was one of the greatest to ever play the game Goddamn it was a honor watching him play.
Absolutely
If the man retired in 1999, he would still be a first ballot HOF. The greatest LF of all time and top 10 greatest players of all time.
2000.
2001 is when he started to hit many more Homeruns.
@@josecarranza7555 99 my guy, ur suppose to be a professional Barry hater and ur not even informed on when it started
Just because he didn’t start hitting a million home runs in 99 Doesn’t mean that’s not when he started it takes time to build up ur body
Plus he was telling everybody he was gonna start after the 98 year then came into 99 with zits and shit
@@bondsgoat25 So you admit barry bonds took steroids?
@@josecarranza7555 lmaooo
I’m a fan.. not delusional, people like u are so gullible u probably believe Pujols didn’t take steroids
@@bondsgoat25 And you’re a POS for being a fan of a thug who cheated and broke one of the most prestigious records in sports history.
Hank Aaron is still the legit all time home run leader, not that thug barry roids.
all the steroid jokes are so played out. anyone who knows baseball knows how great Bonds really was.
obviously he is great, but steroid jokes are still funny
Very true, still sucks that he made the decision to do it.. Just so freaking good
Staymelo7 yeah there is. the balco investigation exposed everything.
Oh yeah, he didn't need the juice to get into the hall. He was already on his way prior.
Great at juicing, yes.
Dude... listening to the GOAT’s talk about their crafts is a real joy.
I always enjoy the heck out of it.
Barry should be in The HOF.
asterisk him if you want and any of the other that are still deserving of being there but Barry deserves that asterisk the least out of all those who are know or highly likely to have been involved with working out allot but he should be in and the story is told on their HOF plaques anyways. So ....
Let’s Go. Barry Bonds is A MLB GOAT so he needs to be in The HOF eventually before his eligibility is up.
He definitely should have to wait but any time now is all good to be inducted as long as it happens.
Steroids or not.. he is still one of the best players on the field
My favorite next to THE KID, KEN GRIFFEY.
Best cheater, that's for sure - ran circles around McGwire & Sosa!
He played in a time when so many players were using. Many unknown nobodies that we would never have though because they were just abergae middle of the pack guys. Bonds was just on another level.
@@911ragdoll Yes many were using... I wonder how many batters who didn’t take lost making a team because they were facing pitchers that were using...
Who knows who started it all, I would think both batters and pitchers but I’m more certain that pitchers taking made it more difficult to hit than comparing hitters who took vs hitters that didn’t.
Said another way, batters losing spots has it hard to complete with pitchers taking than competing with other batters who took...
My 2 cents
I’ve been saying that my whole life of knowing him
He told Dee Gordon the 4th tip in hitting.
Hahahaha no
I'm bonds fan I grew up watching him play and was amazing giant, but your comment had me rolling
MA T no chill lmaoo
ray Gordon I don't get it. Can you explain the joke?
E.A. Hawley Dee Gordan got caught using steroids a couple of years ago while Bonds was their hitting coach
The best hitter of all time
Steriods didnt change the fact that he still ripped the best pitching on earth for years
steroids changed the fact that a 345 foot out was a 350 foot homer
I don’t care what anyone says, that man is a hitting GENIUS! What he accomplished in his sport, baseball, is harder that any other sport. He is a Hall of Fame guy in my book. Any young boy that wants to know how to hit, listen to Barry Bonds. Forget the steroids! Steroids DID NOT HELP HIM PUT BAT TO BALL! That is GOD GIVEN SKILL AND TALENT that Barry Bonds works so hard to get great at.
Even without the roids, Bonds was an elite hitter. People tend to forget how much of a home-run threat he was when he was on the Pirates
He was great without them. He just got pissed that Sosa and Big Mac got all the love, when he got very little outside of SF. Wasn't he in a HRD while still with the Pirates?
i love how he bats short and compact and really have the hand and eye coordination.. yall can say whatever with him and steroids but tell me this. does steroids teaches you how to hit the ball. it give you so called power but it won't give you an advantage on contacting the ball.. respect to him. he is the #1 hr leader
There were guys who used steroids that no one ever heard of, it wasn’t the steroids although they probably helped his power as he got older but he always knew how to hit.
Y Marina that’s IF you can hit the ball at all, there have been guys who tested positive who no one ever heard of because they were sub par or middling players.
Willie J. Eiland Jr. Yup, some of those deep fly balls became homers with the added mass and strength from juice. But otherwise he was a hitting savant who owned the plate. Pitchers couldn’t outwit him.
Loved watching him play. PAC Bell was something special when Barry played.
Great explanation obtained from Barry Bonds by an excellent interviewer. Bonds was laughing far too much but he wasn't. Well done.
Bro, Bonds was crushing baseballs before any of the steroid shit came through...Say what you will, still a legend
I wish this was 30 minutes long.
I love his confidence
He’s the greatest hitter to ever live and it’s not even close ... he got one pitch to hit a game maybe and smashed it. Was walked with the bases loaded. He had more IBB in one year then AROD had in his whole career
Y Marina , no dude , no one else was IBB with the bases loaded. No one else hit the ball harder and more often than bonds did. He squared up the ball up with power more than anyone ever I believe.
@Y Marina , babe Ruth isn’t even in the top 10 all time dude. He was hitting beer league pitching. It’s hard to compare players from other eras but if you don’t anyone play but whites play and you dominate , you shouldn’t be that excited about it
@Y Marina , you’re telling me that fat ass out of shape tub of lard babe Ruth who only played a few years after Ty “ split hand grip “ Cobb got 4000 hits. Cmon dude the mlb back then was a fucking beer league. Any hitter today is better then fucking Ruth. Look at his at bats. There’s a slow motion face on of his swing. His mechanics are literally beer league softball swings. You telling me Bryce Harper or Mike Trout isn’t as good as Ruth ? They were throwing guys 9 innings every other day back then. The pitching is basically what BP in spring training is today.
You must be an old timer
Best hitter to ever step in the box.
Say all you what about steroids.... Bonds was a true ball player and would easily be in top 10 all time hrs with or without the juice.
ad wall He was more of a speed/contact guy before he did roids
No he wasn't. Look up his numbers in his early San Francisco days. From 93-98, Bonds was still hitting 30-40 HRs a year and was putting up ridiculous numbers.
ad wall that's why he only cleared 30 HR twice in 7 years with Pittsburgh. 1st year in sf and a new contract 46 homers. No way.
Then why did he do it?
but steroids doesnt teach you how to hit the ball.. this guy really knows how to hit
This video is so gold.
When you watch his swings, at his peak, it was all hip rotation, virtually no stride!
He didn't put his whole body into his swings.
He just trusted that if he hit it square, the rest will take care of itself
watched this video and made a few adjustments to my swing. I have became a much better hitter
Something I think is insane. In 2001 he had 156 hits, 73 hrs. That is dang near a hr every other hit.
@@Garrett1240 what? Yes they were
I love that about the marks on the bat from the cage. I was marking towards the end of the barrel, so did a little "wait, wait", and moved them down an inch or so. Too far out = too early (for me).
Human growth hormone doesn’t enable you to see the ball with the clarity of that man. GREAT hitter.
Umm all that and the best hand eye acuity of all time helps...what is amazing when he was on that insane run early 2000s he was lucky to get 1 or 2 pitches a GAME not every at bat worth hitting and he almost NEVER missed..it was must see cuzz it will probably never be seen again
There are a lot of similarities between Barry's swing and a top pro golf swing. Clearing the hips. Wrist action through the hitting zone. Speed through the hitting zone. Balance and tempo. Straightening the front leg and finishing on the heel. Even his setup is similar to the top of a golf swing.
Why should you straighten the front leg and finish on your heel?
Eduardo Perez talking to Bonds about hitting is like Kris Humphries talking to Steph about shooting
This dude is a legend idc what the fuck they say he knew what he was talking about the keeping your hands up is important and short and balanced which I agree that is the key to hitting you see people that hit and when they swing they are off balance falling over losing their footing so long live barry bonds
Was never a bonds or a Giants fan, however I find it comical when people talk so negatively about him. The guy never hurt anyone, if he did steroids who cares?
i agree with you 100%. people are idiots. not a bonds fan, but he was STILL a great ballplayer. naturally or unnaturally.
Tarnishes the record books and looks like a stain on the game of baseball for having a cheater as the home run king
Matt G are you the Matt G I think you are?
because other teams lost because he didn't play fair, grow up. he didnt hurt anybody?
Matt G I'm a Giants fan have been since I was a kid but Bonds* is a stain on our team that won't wash out. His used to steroids was obvious, but many people like you turn the Blind Eye.
the greatest ever
No. The GOAT is Hank Aaron.
@@musicman76enator no the goat is Babe Ruth, the best hitter of all time is Ted Williams, the greatest HR hitter is Hank Aaron, the greatest contact hitter has to be either Cobb, Williams,Gwynn,Rose, or Ichiro, or the Babe
@@williamsuberalles9558 Bullshit, Hammerin Hank is the All time Home Run leader, not the Babe. Hence why Hank is the GOAT. Ted is the second most GOAT, Rose is the third most GOAT, Gwynn is the 4th most GOAT and the finally the Babe. There I said it. Done.
@@musicman76enator Are you stupid it says it in the fucking comment that Hank Aaron is the HR King read the comment
@@williamsuberalles9558 ruth played in a racist segregated league he's not the greatest
The man was never off balance in his swing, sucha beauty to watch
The best overall player in my generation.
spelled 'any' wrong!
Put this man in the HOF already.
At the point of contact, your front elbow and the end of the bat have make a straight line.
For an inside pitch only lol
This is the best hitter I've ever seen. Best eye too.
Thank you Barry for sharing your knowledge.
Greatest offensive player ever. It's not even a close 2nd.
Black Panther, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth all ahead of him.
Mike Whitney greatest player ever.. 5 tool player !!
Y Marina he did have a great Throwing arm. You must not know him like u think you do. Man was a beast athletically and technically!
Ruth was much better relative to his league. Plus Bonds never even hit more than 47 before juicing.
Agree to disagree. Bonds in my opinion is the best. How can u put ted Williams and Ruth when they didn’t play vs the best competition? Before blacks and Hispanics were allowed in the majors
The saddest thing about bonds and peds is that he was a hof quality player before them.
Which begs the question, why would he juice when he woulda been an HOF already?
@@JT-Rebel ego, fear of becoming irrelevant, wanting a fat contract in San Francisco... who knows.
@@DanTheMailman330 exactly, all those pitchers like Pedro Martinez and Greg Maddux that pitched HOF careers against these jackasses never got the money these frauds got, and the fake records these cowards attained...but all these morons want to say is, "Well he was HOF before he cheated"...you never hear the idiots, "which is why Ken Griffey Jr. was way better than these guys, he was a HOF the whole time".
@@JT-Rebel He was jealous McGuire was more famous than him
@@Zack_410 Exactly... those roided frauds (McGwire/Sosa) were getting all the attention for 1998, and Barry was like, "oh America, you guys like juiced baseball players??? Ok, if Selig is just gonna promote these guys knowing full well how they're doing it, then I'll show you amateurs how it's done."
The greatest baseball player to ever walk on planet earth by a mile
Ever heard of Max Muncy?
Not really , prior to the jet fuel usage ,with Pirates ,he was known for slumping in the post -season..Didn't rise to the occasion in pressure -packed situations. ..That aspect only rocketed in an upward trajectory , after the introduction of the jet fuel...Guy , sans the artificial help ,couldn't carry a guy like George Brett's jockstrap.
@@markdraine3571 stop smoking meth
July 2021 and it took over 50 comments to see someone negatively bring up the peds, my faith in humanity is finally beginning to be restored, and lets not forget no matter what part of his career it was hit every one of his jacks began with over a inch of that bat choked up on!
Greatest hitter of all time
facts
I genuinely use his 3 keys to hitting in golf and they work. I ain't shanked a ball in a couple rounds.
Most important 4th key he doesnt mention is..SEE THE BALL...per Manny Ramirez
He needs to be n the Hall of Fame! Period!
He talks about hitting here, and we should listen, because he demonstrated that technique to devastating effect on the field.
Steroids or not it doesn't help making contact
chris herrera but it helps you hit the ball further for much longer
The Infamous true but what I meant was bonds was gonna beat the record anyway why use roids.
chris herrera bonds did steroids for jealousy nothing more. He is a first ballot HOF no doubt but doing roids tarnish how people look at him now and his legacy.
Btw go Cubs
Thats what greenies are for.
XGO INJECTION no dude! It's about hand eye coordination! Have you ever seen football player swing a bat? They're stronger but most of them can hit a ball to save their life
I got no skin in the game but Barry Bonds was a great hitter. steroids or no steroids. It's obvious.
The Pure Genius himself of Home Run Hitting........The GOAT OF HOME RUN HITTING.......people say what they want about Bonds, i say He is the Goat of Hitting homers BC also of the way he describe it to this guy in the video. Also notice too this video wasn't even 2 minutes long BC Bonds was describing home run hitting so fast and so well just as fast as his home runs flew fast and well over the Wall......End of Story Bonds Home Run Goat Forever
This video should be shown to every little leaguer
Damn I really wish I saw this when I was 13
Steroids or not, Bonds was a hell of a hitter.
I've followed MLB closely for nearly 50 years. Have studied film of great hitters who were in the majors before then.
And Bonds had the fastest swing. By far.
What’s most impressive to me is how fast and violently he threw his hips open when swinging. How he was able rotate his body was incredible and bizarre
take notes folks. best hitter you will lay eyes on
possibly the best golf tip ever.. thx
I think the marlins could really use him in their line up lol
Barry the Great!!!!
I just learned a golf tip from this. Incredible
Unbelievable insight- educational and entertaining
'I ain't no golfer.' Me neither.
One of the greatest ever played the game! Yet he made the wrong choice.
Oh so you have the proof we've all been waiting for huh?......🙄idiot
Barry bonds is one ☝️ of the greatest hitters ever ! Go s f giants go !! 🙌🤙👈🤟⚾️
Barry said.....I ain't no golfer. What is funny is that in 1992 I went to a celebrity softball game where pro athletes and celebrities played a game and it was on ABC sports. Barry's dad, Bobby Bonds was throwing catch with Barry before the game, and some kid said...Mr. Griffey....Mr. Griffey..... he was looking for an autograph. Barry Bonds says....Griffey....I ain't no Griffey! That is word for word what he said. I remember it like it was yesterday and even made a video about it recently.
Steroids helped him stay in the game at peak performance long past when he should have been declining. He was a great hitter.
Well, if you're going to listen to anyone alive on how to hit a baseball....
Hard to argue that.
Touché
Bonds is a Legend...he should be in the hall of fame..he was nearly 500-500 before roids!!! And the roids didn't make him become a home run hitter..he was already that
Fuck the asterisk, Bonds was amazing! Best offensive ball player ever, and the numbers certainly back that up. If he had Griffey Jr.‘s skill in the outfield, that would have been simply unfair…
Brother lost some steroid bulk!
Dude was 51 yrs old right here get serious
Something called age
Three keys of hitting
Roids
A syringe
Arm
Hahahah wow you are super original that’s hilarious
Never swung a bat in his life
Steroids or no steroids, Barry Bonds was an amazing baseball player
goated. This interview is the reason why i still play
"...and here's where we stick the syringe in..."
Bonds’ three keys of hitting:
1. Steroids
2. Roids
3. 💉💉💉💊💊💊
You can pop steroids til the cows come home, you'll still never hit like Barry Bonds.
All 'roids do, is give some fake aggression. And balloon muscle. They don't alter technique at all. Bonds is still great regardless.
He knows hitting and it shows in his words. I bet it's hard to get that information out of him though. However damn he has some legit knowledge.
Last 11 seconds are life-changing advice. Kids, ditch the launch angle
The three keys to hitting:
1. Left butt cheek
2. Right butt cheek
3. Needle
lol you wrong
TheGuyWithTheSniper lol XD
steriods dont help you if you have the gift, steriod dont make you any better. If he was so steriods up why was they allowing him to play they was testing him every day during that record run and they found nothing. Tell me how did he beat the system exsplain
first step needles and butt cheeks
Talking about Canseco and Mcgwire that took it in the ass. Bonds did the rub cream. Oh by the way, he took it for a injury to his arm NOT for performance enhancement like the other juice heads. Of course people will blow it out of proportion because he is Bonds and a anti media person, which I don't blame and he past the ol faithful to some the Babe and passed up the passive silent hero Hammer Hank. True story.
Put this man in the hall of fame already!!!
His cheating ass is never getting in. Deal with it.
@@williamhendershot5495 He’ll actually fit right in with the rest of the cheaters already in the hall. Do you think that performance enhancing substances were only being used in the 80’s & 90’s? As long as people have been paid to compete there have been PES’s.
@@ThePhenomf4 Peds started in sports in the 60's. Every decade they got worse. Difference is they were not illegal in those days. They were in Barry's day. He will not ever get in. He was denied again this year. He will be denied again and again.
@@williamhendershot5495 they’ve been around longer than that and have taken many forms. The oldest one I can recall are “greenies” or amphetamines which have been around since the late 1800’s and were widely used in baseball and other sports since the early 1900’s. They are an athletic performance enhancer and a cognitive enhancer. Steroids were developed around the late 1930’s-early 40’s and have been used in the olympics and professional sports ever since.
Let’s just say that he played on an even playing field and deserves to be in the hall with everyone else.
@@ThePhenomf4 Steroids did not get into baseball or boxing or football until the 60's, genius. Greenies and amphetamines are not peds. The more the decades roll on, the more people cheat. Most were not using back then at all. Eveeybody is now. Get a clue, alright? He ain' t getting in! Period, end of!
i love his voice
