Josh Donaldson Swing Mechanics on MLB Network

[burlingtonbandit]

Fantastic video of JD talking to Mark DeRoasa about his swing. Goes into deep detail about swing mechanics and how he's able to hit for so much power.

Nice! Is it me or has he got a little beer belly going on though?

Not just you. He's swole.

Guys who lift heavy tend to build up a lot of muscle in their belly area and unless you're super cut (sub 10% body fat or so) you'll look like you've got a bit of a beer belly.

Thanks I needed this.

 

Was a heavy lifter back in the day, > 200 lbs snatch

Depends on the workouts you're doing. Benchpress won't do this.

I didn't even notice that. I was too busy noticing how his side profile looks a lot like Zaun..

That's a big snatch. How big was the rest of her?

[Sorrow]

Depends on the workouts you're doing. Benchpress won't do this.

 

If you're lifting heavy and not squatting and deadlifting heavier than you're benching you're doing it wrong. Squats and deadlifts will do this, overhead press will as well.

[Jonzo]

If you're 6 foot 200lbs, that's basically how you look if you're not fat.

Mark Derosa is really good at this

 

He's open minded and legitimately but tactfully questions Josh about his technique and discusses how it differs from typical hitting thought and instruction

[G-Snarls]

I thought Derosa would make a great coach

 

But he seems to be making a good run of this

[G-Snarls]

Donaldson is so awesome

 

What's not to love

 

Such a dude...

 

Derosa: You're thinking "damage" all the time

 

Donaldson: Why wouldn't I??
