Bonds was other worldly for about 4-5 seasons. He walked over 200 times one year.  He’d get (maybe) one pitch a game to hit.  During those 4-5 years, he damn near never missed that one pitch. Amazing.

Of course, he was also using PEDs during those 4-5 years.  One can argue that lots of people were using PEDs during that period and not having other worldly seasons (true) and that even without PEDs Bonds was likely to have been pretty damned good, if not outstanding, but unfortunately, because he did use PEDs, it is impossible to gauge how much of that outher-worldlyness was him and how much was the PED.

BC

Him. Yes it added to HRs etc.  But not to squaring up pitch. Plus I’ll bet you more pitchers juiced than hitters.
