Alex Bregman. The beauty behind his swing is amazing. Short and sweet with a ton of power and doesn’t take one of those big arse steps with his front foot like a lot of players do

Of all the GIFs posted, Boggs without a doubt. It’s perfect.

Griffey's swing was Kate Beckinsale in Click, Vlad's swing was Kate Beckinsale in Underworld.

I know someone has already said this, but I'll say it again:

Ted Williams

Any other answer is wrong.

Ken Griffey's swing was technically almost perfect,very little wasted motion. It's why he didn't get tired while winning home run derby.

Will Clark had a very fluid swing, but a little too much forward motion.

Ted Williams used a hitch to start his swing, otherwise top notch, and maybe the smartest hitter.

The contact hitters like Carew, Boggs, Gwynn, etc. all could put the bat on the ball as well as anyone, but less hip turn hindered their power.

Willie Mays had the fastest bat I ever saw in person., but I was more impressed with Stan Musial's swing.

It is hard to judge on players that played before the fifties because I
wasn't around then, but I am sure there were a few with great swings.

Forgot about Thome. That video was a good reminder.

Don't need a thread for this. You got the correct answer in your post.
