Who is your favorite player to watch hit?

Question

Now i'm not asking about whos the best hitter or the best power hitter or nothing like that. For me, i could watch mark derosa hit all day long. Ever since i first saw him play with the braves, i've enjoyed watching this man at the dish. He puts on a clinic of not trying to do too much (he gets a ball on the outer half and just tries to hit it to right and vice-versa). Plus hes really good at moving at advancing runners and getting them home from 3rd with less than 2 outs. I know hes had a couple of average years in between his tenure with the braves and now, but i think hes put it together since his the beginning of his last year in texas.

Answer 1

either griffey, ichiro, or soriano. griffey has the best lefty power swing in the game. ichiro starts running as he swings, which is why he gets so many infield hits. soriano has a great batting stance and probably the most balanced righty swing in the mlb.

Answer 2

Soriano. He makes it look easy and fun. He's the kind of guy who makes kids want to be baseball players when they grow up.

Answer 3

im a yankee fan but i love to watch vlad hit. hes just a great hitter. he doesnt take many pitches. you can throw over his head and he will hit a homerun.

Answer 4

Albert Pujols except when he bats agianst the Dodgers

Answer 5

Ken Griffey Jr.

His swing is so sweet, definitely the sweetest swing in all of baseball

Answer 6

derosa is in chicago cubs and i like watching david wright even though i like jose reyes

Answer 7

I like to watch Dustin Pedroia.  He has nice stroke at the plate and i like his swing

Answer 8

Garret Anderson.

He has been my favorite player fr a while.

Answer 9

I love watching Griffey Jr, its real smooth and effortless.

Vlad is something else as well.. it sure is cool when i see him reach that far or hit such bad balls for home runs. I don't see a lot of players that try and hit almost everything (errr it can be good it can be bad.... ) ehh uhhh anyways.. like Rex Hudler says from his nose to his toes Vladdy just goes XD

Answer 10

i love watching shane victorino bat cause he can hit for power but he can also turn a single into a double at the drop of a hat. its just fun watching him play. and i also love watching griffey jr. swing. he has the cleanest swing in all of baseball. it looks so effortless when he rockets a ball out of the park.  

Answer 11

I like watching Chipper Jones hit. He has a great at bat almost ever at bat and rarely does a pitcher ever make him look bad at the plate.

Answer 12

pujols and berkman

Answer 13

present: Ichiro Suzuki

past: Jeff Bagwell

Answer 14

Ryan Braun. He doesnt just hit for power. He hits to all fields,does have an ocassion to stike out a bit but hes got so much up side cause hes still so young. Love watching this guy. Glad hes on my Brewers.

Answer 15

What a hard question, there's so many!  The Riot is a good one too, what a great underrated year he's having.  

I'm probably a little biased with my favorite third baseman though, Rami's great about producing runs.  He sure can hit home runs but he's also not afraid to place it just right for an RBI double.  

Answer 16

My personal favorite is Alfonzo Soriano.  His stance is very attractive, and his swing almost always looks good.  His home runs come off the bat very nicely, and look good.  

Answer 17

Hmm that is a hard one. I would have to say either Fred Lewis or Emanuel Burris.

Answer 18

Generally it is Todd Helton but since he hasnt been around most of this season I'll go with Ian Kinsler. He's having a terrific year and just always looks like he's having a lot of fun. Just makes me enjoy the game more if the players look like they are having fun.
