Who hits the hardest?

Postby Fantasy Guru » Sun Sep 24, 2006 1:13 am

I found a pretty neat site for those of you who dig the long ball.
Two stats jumped out at me. How much of a pull hitter Biggio is, and man... Matt Holliday has some power. I guess this would come in handy when backing up arguments. Anywho, here it is

Coincidently, I also just found this site and was looking around on it.

There's some pretty cool stuff on there, like who's hit the hardest HR's of the year off the bat, and who regularly hits the longest ones (I had always figured Troy Glaus would be up there if there was any kind of a list, and now I have that confirmed). ;-D

Sheffield is one of the hardest hitters I've ever seen. I've seen more laser shots leave the park off his bat than anyone else.

That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread.

Sojo, the 3B coach last year used to stand way back from his spot when Sheffield was up, so he didn't get killed :-b

Vlad and Sheffield should scare any 3b. They hit the hardest frozen ropes. Vlad has hit the lowest, quickest hrs i have ever seen.

A-Rod is apparently the distance leader. The Golden Sledgehammer winner thus far.

This will be twisted into something bad by Yanks04 of course.

Piazza and Thome in their prime used to hit the hardest balls I've ever seen....

Anyone rememeber that HR Bonds hit in the 2002 WS? I think it was Tim Salmon who was caught on tape as saying, "thats the hardest ball I've ever seen hit."
