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

John Carlos Stan walks to the plate menacing as ever this breakdown it's brought to you by SeatGeek and it's a more kind of technical breakdown than lip breing or ejection or wild moment just uh what's the difference between getting fooled by a breaking ball slash sitting on a breaking ball so Stanton just smolders the pitcher stares at him he's got two on there's two outs two nothing lead first pitch little cutter he's behind it and the UMP says that it's foul but I don't know about that I was Rangers Fan i' be pretty pissed you got this Angle now the umps 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 his timing was off on the cutter now they're shaking 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 fast balls 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 missed his spot two times with that fast ball and that slider got me pretty big so maybe I just sit slider 2 two here and that's my guess at what happens because you get a 2 two 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 home did not work that time good high five there by those two guys just power high five two 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 oh I like that little shot yep that's three yep three more runs Stan's 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 say 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 in the right with his hands up he was way first up he C oh he's got competition right next to stting 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 the 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 Stan's body and posture is different cuz 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 they're Square to the ball but the feet adjustment is what I like the most it's that step the longer stride right there he he WI his stance and then has a longer stride to go down and get it and I really wanted to look at that 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 wider 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 going to throw 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 and watch all the nuances of where guys stand where they where where they change when they stand they scoot up they
