I remember the first time I watched this video was before my first game my sophomore year of high school. I hit my first home run in my first at bat and went from a bench player platooning RF to the clean up hitter. To this day I still refer to this video when I hit a slump. Jose Bautista has been my hero ever since and I credit him with helping me launch my career. I currently play in college and while I've given up my dreams of getting drafted I hope to finish my career on a high note.

All he did was change his mechanics at the plate, which helped him combine the two, with consistency.

I played high-level baseball for 5 years between 13-17 and i've always used the same stance more or less with a bit of a tweek here or there. When I was 16 my teams assistant coach played professionally in the minors for a few years before injuring himself and he tweeked my mechanics and timing on the swing and i went from a 1-2 guy to a middle of the order because i was hitting deep liners to the gap with authority. Proper mechanics and timing while hitting makes a huge difference.

Anybody who says steroids made him into a homerun leader, doesnt have enougjh focus to notice that he dramitically changed his swing. His swing his so long now thats how he gets all the power (longer swing =increased torque) but it takes a lot of other talent and skill to square it up not an inch to high or low and not a tenth of a millisecond too soon or late.

He definitely isn't on steriods...doesn't have a shorter neck ("bigger head") and has practically the same body mass and muscular strength as before. A friend of mine who does MMA said that Jose probably did testosterone replacement therapy, which is likely how Braun got the positive test. I hope Jose didn't do that, but clearly he is a naturally gifted hitter, regardless. Anyone who says he's on steriods doesn't know shit.

Back leg should control front leg. Isobaseball teaches the mechanics of the Perfect Swing. Baustista learned to have a slow front side. This improved his timing. He talked about hands. Everyone, please understand that teaching the science of the perfect swing is very difficult, but if you find the right resources, tools and coach - it can be done. I am telling you that Isobaseball is going to change the way the perfect swing is being taught.

For those of you saying he took steroids: He looks the same as he did before. Josh Donaldson weighs more than he does and hasn't hit over 40 home runs. Bautista gained confidence with his approach to hitting the baseball. I small change to a swing can change a slap hitter or singles hitter to a gap or home run hitter. It's not easy to hit a round ball with a round bat. It takes years of practice with quality swings to achieve this. It's youtube. It's for entertainment purposes.

Baseball is a game all about minor adjustments. The slightest adjustments make huge differences at the major league level. Jose Bautista and Chris Davis are in the same boat. They both made a small adjustment and it did wonders for both. If you look, Chris Davis is more upright, therefore giving him more leverage and simplified his swing as a whole to be more consistent. Just because he's gained muscle doesn't mean he's on roids. He was a monster just waiting to come out.

Regarding possible PED use, MLB is more strict than ever, and I'm sure amidst Bautista's breakout season in 2010, he was tested numerous times. Because back in the day, a guy that went from 18-22 home runs a reason to 40 or 50+, was usually juicing. That being said, I know Jose wasn't juicing, there is no way he'd get away with it in today's MLB. Scouts, trainers, coaches, a lot of people Jose met prior to his trade to Toronto, all praised his potential for power. It was Dwayne Murphy who helped Jose harness that power, make some slight adjustments, and he went on a tear. Now, look at the subsequent seasons, Jose hit 43 home runs in 2011, but the following 7 seasons averaged only 26 a season, why is that? Well that is a combination of 2 things, the first being age. Jose didn't have those breakout seasons until he was 29-30, so the numbers were bound to drop little by little from 30-35 and onward. Then you have the type of hitter Jose is, a lot of power, and a lot of strikeouts. When guys become a bigger threat at the plate, pitchers study them more closely to figure them out. In 2010-2011, pitchers made more mistakes against him, because prior to those seasons he wasn't as big a threat. When you become a notorious power hitter, pitchers can expose your weak zones and start to pitch around you more, figuring you out. But man, if Jose wasn't fun to watch those few seasons.

Taking steroids would decrease your muscle reaction time, thereby allowing you to wait longer before deciding to swing. It gives you roughly 7-10% more time to see the pitch, though it doesn't directly stop you from holding up. Bautista's clean.

Just wanted to put this into perspective. Jose Bautista was still hitting 25 bombs a season when he came to the jays in 08. As well, if you look at him he has not magically become a massive monster like some steroid users in the past. Now take a look at Chris Davis. I applaud him on his massive year, but, firstly, you don't go from a 20 home run guy to a player who in mid July on pace to come close to the MLB record for homeruns, and 2, take a look at his rookie card and then a recent one.
