Make It Look Easy

I can't remember anyone else who did it like that before or since in a Mets uni.

Todd Frazier?

And wasn't hopelessly off balance when doing it.

This is a "make it look easy" thread. Straw and Frazier are on opposite ends of the spectrum here.

Frazier belongs in the "Made It Look Ugly" thread along with Kevin Appier's delivery

No doubt, but there's something "easy" — if not at all graceful — about hitting a homer to right center while looking so very ugly in your execution.



I'm sure I've seen homers on uglier swings — Kirk Gibson's most famous homer, for instance, and half of Mark McGwire's 1998 homers — but I'm not sure I've seen a Met hit a homer on an uglier swing. And I've seen Rey Ordóñez homer.

Yup. Along with every swing Ike Davis ever took.
