Difference between a home run and a whiff for Giancarlo Stanton, a breakdown

it's foul but I don't know about that if I was Rangers fan I'd be pretty pissed you got this

angle now the ump's got a good view but it feels to me like that goes over the bag in fair territory

look at the shadow but maybe it doesn't I don't know I'd be a little upset if I was a Rangers fan

because they say no no no the inning isn't over it's a foul ball so instead of the inning ending

and the Rangers holding the two-run lead the at-bat continues they threw a cutter

you

. His timing was off on the cutter now they're shaking they're deciding what are we going to go

here they go with a slider and it works look at this swing boom way way off that pitch and he

says I'll put that in my memory let's get back to there if I need it let's go with some fastballs

up to change the eyeline now that he missed his spot that's way worse than he wanted and again

that's way inside and now I think the pitcher goes all right time to go back to that

slider that got him and Stanton says well I just missed a spot two times with that fastball and

that slider got me pretty big so maybe I just sit slider 2-2 here and that's my guess at what

happened because you get a 2-2 slider very similar to the first slider he threw but this time goes

down and whacks it on a line to the outfield for a three and homer says oh did not work that time

good high five there by him.

.

those two guys just power high five two hands in the middle and that guy jumping up and down in

front of them good scenes in the outfield stan grabs the ball at third he's going to take it

to the end zone he's got himself a three run homer now i wanted to compare the two swings a lot

there's the slider grip the slider spin it's coming in boom it's going out here's another

replay i mean just really goes down and gets it he knows he got it yep get off me i put together

a bunch of combinations i like that little shot yep that's three yep three more runs stands excited

about it got his pitch hammered it all smiles in the dugout for g look how low he went his knee

i believe scrapes the ground a little bit right there okay because yeah oh yeah got it yep excited

about it so these are

the two swings i believe on the left is a swing and miss on the right is the home run what's the

difference and wow look at the fan all the way on the right with his hands up he was way first up

he always got competition right next to stand there but he he dominated so these are the two

swings is there a difference i don't know not naked eye but then i went to this angle is there

a difference um yeah there's a little bit of a difference here's the two overlaid and the two

pitches

so as far as the pitches go both sliders one's a little higher so the one he hits does get hung

a little more it stays up and stands body and posture is different because he knew so you can

see the feet he's a little more spread and i'll show you that later but the biggest thing is see

his ass it stays so back there's one where he lunges forward and there's the other where his

ass and his shoulders stay so back and patient and make sure he's not going to get hit by the

center and γ

so

i overlaid the two and then i put him with these red lines showcasing the back of his right foot

back of his left foot up top is the home run below is when he got fooled and you can see he's just a

like a foot wide and then he's got his feet down so he's got a longer stride and then he's got a

kiddie bungee and i went through the Sit in front of that discussions for a little bit where he's

completely scared of his own back so there's no one walking around so there's no one too much to вер bushing

right so he got himself a foot wider and then when he strides he strides a lot wider as well

so we can make sure that he's slower and can get down and get it so see how much longer that stride

is which is allows him to just be a little slower keep his body back and go down and get it you look

at the length of the stride you can see if i match up the red lines it was way longer allowed himself

to get deeper allowed himself to go fish that one out of the ground just a tiny little adjustment

of just because he thinks i think he's gonna throw me that slider and then makes a little

adjustment and then absolutely hammers the slider if you want to go see home runs like this in person
