Searched and it doesn't appear it's posted yet.
Gifs showing that it's pretty much impossible to find any spot even remotely near the strike zone to pitch to this guy right now.
6 combined home runs into 1 gif:
Here's all 6 side by side. 1 of them was 9 INCHES OFF THE PLATE
:
Also, have fun trying to throw inside on this guy right now. Look how far inside these pitches are:
Regarding this gif ^:

The first pitch is a Lucas Harrell 92 mph two-seam fastball for a 395 foot home run according to the ESPN Home Run Tracker, the second a 96 mph Tanner Scheppers two-seam fastball launched 423 feet to center field, and finally a 93 mph fastball from Tommy Hunter (included in the composite clip as well) for another 412 feet.

These gifs that combine stuff are pretty amazing

Someone should fark the Yu gif with this one.
So it looks like Yu is throwing all those pitches at once, and Cabrera is hitting them all over the fence

I'm guessing he's the same writer that created the Darvish gif as well?
His articles are always great and his gifs are obviously amazing as well.
For the fact that Cabrera is well on his way to contending for back-to-back Triple Crowns, it would be safe to assume he is one of the best hitters. Chris Davis just needs to go in a slump for Cabrera to run away with it

This image is fantastic. Every little leaguer should watch this .gif before every batting practice. It is a perfect example of taking what the pitcher gives you.
And reinforces:
- Load
- Step
- Launch Hips
- Launch Hands
- Extend the V
- Finish the swing

Dshep is the guy who creates the GIFs.
He's a commenter on SB Nation's Rangers blog.

No doubt. He and Pujols have the most consistent hitting approaches I think I've seen in my lifetime. The swing mechanics never change no matter the pitch nor the location.
Amazing.

Yeah, I noticed even his right hand, he points his fingers and it finishes at the same spot over his left shoulder with every pitch. Amazing consistency.

That is amazing

Exactly.
In hitting if you can replicate the same, short, powerful swing over and over, pitchers will have problems with you.
Similarly in pitching, if you can replicate the same release point for your pitches over and over (no matter the pitch), hitters will problems with you.

Top row, middle gif, it's insane that he was able to pull that with it being that high and outside.

I can see what you're saying, but that ball isn't *that* much outside. It really is over the plate and bit high. If he'd tried to push that to right field he would've probably just popped up to second.
The most amazing swing is that deep inside pitch. How he was able to get around on that pitch is crazy enough, but to get the head of the bat on it. If you look closely, that pitch is so far inside that it actually is on the same plane with his right shoulder.

So mad that the Marlins traded him and got shite to show for it.

Even more amazing is that he does it all while drunk.
