Who is the best power hitter in the majors?

[lylsmorr]

I honestly think Adrian Gonzalez is one of the best. He has a ton of power going oppo.

Your thoughts?

Power hitter in terms of gap to gap power, home runs or both? I always like to distinguish the two.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Gonzalez is a great hitter. Miguel Cabrera is a great hitter. But until somebody else wrests the title away conclusively, it's still Pujols.

 

[JFreak]

As far as gap to gap power, Todd Helton still has to be listed up there. Dude averages over 50 doubles a season. Haven't seen him play this season but I do know his numbers are way down.

I was thinking both. Foul line to foul line and still hit for power

 

[JFreak]

Right now I would have to say Pujols and Hamilton are a bit ahead of everyone else. Hamilton has a solid shot of winning the triple crown.

Pujols all day long.

Pujols is all by himself.

Hamilton is slowly closing the gap.

If it's in terms of just ridiculous bomb shots, Adam Dunn and Prince Fielder should be mentioned.

Wily Mo Pena.

Ryan Howard hits a ton of opposite field home runs as well.

Strasburg.

hanley ramirez, dude has some pop in his bat...

 

[VolBeef88]

Pujols and it isn't be close.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

The question is asking who is the best power hitter and we get Hanley Ramirez and Todd Helton mentioned. Unreal...

Pujols is the best all around hitter in the majors. No question.

Best true power hitter for the last 5 years is Ryan Howard.

Wily Mo Pena.

THIS right here by god. Haha.

Pujols, Miggy, Hamilton, Howard, A-Gonz. Fielder has to be up there. "Bad" season to start and is leading the NL in home runs.

Pure, raw power.. as far as distance and jaw dropping home runs... Josh Hamilton and JUstin Upton are on the list.

 

[GahLee]

As far as pure power goes I would say Howard. Albert has plenty of power and he is a fantastic hitter to boot, if he had Howard's power he would hit 60 every year.

 

[GahLee]

Wily Mo Pena.

Is he even in the majors anymore?

 

[005]

I don't think so, no. Last stats i'm seeing are from the Nationals in 08.

Where did Elijah Dukes end up??

Jail.

Didn't he beat the crap out of his girlfriend?

 

[Heebs]

Wily Mo has been in the minors, and I think he may have signed with a club somewhere.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Adam Dunn.

Jose Bautista hits some bombs.

Jose Bautista!

Talk about a shooting star.

I think ole Wily Mo signed a minor league deal with the Padres. That man could hit some majestic shots during batting practice.

Gabe Kapler was the same way. Dude hit moon shots until it mattered.
