Who has the sweetest swing in baseball today?

I still think that Abreu, Griffey and Bonds have great swings. Also why is it that lefties always seem to have a sweeter looking swing than righties?|||1. Ichiro. His swing is methodical but at the same time is a work of art. First of all, he uses his bat to split the field and analyze where the biggest gaps are. Ryan Howard has actually incorporated this method into his approach at the plate. When it comes to his actual swing, Ichiro's is the closest to perfection the game has ever seen. The bat spends more time in the zone than does any other hitter's swing in the league. Maybe the best part about his swing is that his follow through ends with him practically out of the batter's box pointed toward first base. Combined with his nearly unrivaled speed, he can think his swing for his consistent performance at the plate. I don't think he has ever finished an MLB season with fewer than 200 hits or an average below .300. He also currently holds the single season record for hits in a season. He stands head and shoulders above the rest of the league's hitters when it comes to infield hits. If the ball goes goes to the left side of the infield you can pretty much forget about throwing him out. As of right now, he is in the middle of a 13 game hitting streak. For many players, this would be considered a career highlight but it's become routine for Ichiro. In his eight pro seasons in Japan he collected 1278 hits for a .353 average. Into his seventh season in the MLB Ichiro currently has compiled 1408 hits for a career .331 average. He is currently 3 games away from his 1000th career game in the MLB, meaning he averages more than 1.4 hits per game. At the same time, he strikes out less than once every two games. He also rarely walks, meaning he puts the ball in play the majority of the time.





2. Ken Griffey. I would really love to say his is #1 because Junior is my all time favorite player but since his batting average is consistently below .270 I just can't make that argument. I will say though that nobody has a sweeter home run swing. In an era clouded by steroiids and HGH, Junior probably comes out looking better than anyone else. His home runs are usually line drive home runs. The home runs that Bonds, Sosa and McGwire used to hit were almost always big towering home runs.





So I guess the true answer really depends on whether you're talking about sweetest contact swing or sweetest home run swing. Contant is Ichiro, home run is Griffey.|||I still believe its gotta be KGjr. What a great swing!!!|||I like Adam Dunn's swing, such a power-charged one too. Robbie Cano's is great too, but i saw a highlight on a Ken Griffey Jr homerun and he became my favorite holder for a lefty swing again. He has that classic uppercut swing that is hard to not love. Jim Edmonds's swing is like that too and pretty sweet, but not like Griffey's! God I love baseball! Ok I'm done...|||Griffey has got the best ever hands down but have you guys watched Pujols swing so effortlessly and looks good doing it doesnt he?|||I think right now it is still Ken Griffey Jr. However, RYAN (not Ron as stated by diamondfanatic) Howard is a close second right now.|||im a big fan of derek jeter swings they are great and my personal fave is arods swing and misses they are so pure and amazing (yes i am a yankee fan)|||Ron Howard of the Phillies. He has the purest swing I have ever seen of a Major Leaguer. He and Barry Bonds run a tight race, but I think Ron has the better swing.|||I'm going with a lot of others and saying Griffey!|||As long as Griffey is playin it's gotta be him...not to mention he's havin a bit of a resurgance with the pop this year.|||me.|||I have to agree with Griffey Jr. However, before him it was definitely Rafael Palmeiro. A beautiful swing is one thing steriods cannot provide...|||Griffey Jr. is still the one in my book.|||Griffey always looks great. A-rod's swing is pretty sweet when he connects with the ball, almost effortless.|||Griffey Jr.|||Robinson Cano, an other lefty.|||A-ROD that is unreal he will break the HR record no how many Bonds hits....
