That’s a good comp , I see some Griffey Jr in there with his big loopy swing

You have done your homework...The roots of verklempt lie in Yiddish. When you feel verklempt, it means your emotion, feeling, or sentiment is so strong that words almost escape you.

I didn’t wanna say it for fear of getting backlash but it’s there.

He has one of those beautiful effortless swings

Biggest difference I see is Griffey had a more upright finish and also had a one-arm follow-thru. BB's swing reminds me more of Freddie Freeman (little more compact than Junior, and keeps both hands on the bat in his follow-thru).

His aura at the plate reminds me of CMO. The command is unreal and you expect something good every time.

I hope he is half the player C-Mo was. I almost was disappointed every time C-Mo hit and didn’t hit one out.
