He swung at everything, yet he hit everything too. He averaged only 74 strikeouts per season. When you consider even the best hitters today average 100+ strikeouts per season, Vlad was a great contact hitter. I remember going to a game where the Rangers were playing the Brewers, and he swung at a changeup, outside corner, and he still pulled it and hit it well over 400 ft, over the bullpen in left center.
On my 9u baseball team when ever we had a big lead coach would tell us to go vlad mode. Swing at every pitch no matter where it is. Mad respect for vlad.
In my opinion he was the greatest hitter of all time. The man could hit anything. He was always such a humble guy. As an Angels fan i was sad to see him go. He was krytonite to so many pitchers. The most memorable hits for me was a ball bounced in front of the plate and he pulled it out of the park and they attempted intentional walk he hit for a double.
