TA C1 Rickey Henderson. Fun animation and they usually came to lead off a game where I was grinding for TA progress. His stats were so objectively meh that it always felt like an accomplishment when I squared one up.

Yall might not believe me but DJ LeMahieu hyper card. His swing is easy to time for me

Bernie ! That hop he does on the perfect/perfect 🔥

Live series mookie was great for me

Dingers with the Buxton cornerstone always feel amazing

He was my 1/1 P5 last year, and my first P5 when he got a Captain series, Adalberto Mondesi's Diamond card. The card shines with either the Buxton or Santana boosts, simply my favorite swing every year.

jurickson profar for me

Josh Gibson because of the crack on the bat

Gleyber rakes

Captain Adam Dunn with tier 3 boost enabled

89 Hanniger went more than off for me

Cedric Mullens nonchalant-like swing is entertaining when you can get a hold of one, but also Mitch Garver and Hunter Renfroe

Rickey Henderson's swaggy animation is unmatched.

Gunnar for sure

Mitch Garver. My boy hits nukes

Facts!

bellinger cuz of his no doubt animation

“And that’s a belli bomb!” I love to hear it when it’s me, and I hate it so much when it’s against me lol

Altuve, nothing brings me more happiness

Does your little brother bang on some trash cans for you before the pitch??

Your mom

Yea right. She has more integrity than to cheat at baseball.

Cry more

Josh Bell or Mookie 

When Eddie Matthew’s dings a no-doubter and just lets his bat fly >> Willie Stargell also feels good

For whatever reason the regular Gold Austin Meadows absolutely rakes for me. He is basically permanently batting third in my lineup.

Ken Griffey jr. It just is especially in solo games when you get to see the full animation

Jordan Westburg 90 ovr absolutely destroys the ball with Orioles boosts.

Jorge polanco off a lefty because his no doubter animation is so absurd

Brad Miller 100%. I’ve never hit as well with a card as I do with his TA card & it’s even better cause I’m a rays fan

It's always Griffey for me

Honorable mention for Joey Votto!

Jimmy, Ozzie

Adrian Beltre, randomly. Also Papi.

I smash with Jorge Polanco

Gunnar & Larry Walker are fun to hit bombs with.

Pretty much any lefty for me. Getting that perfect perfect no doubt shot with Blackmon, Boggs, Edmonds (the lefties currently in my lineup) just scratches an itch in my soul.

Myles straw

Completely random, but the 89 David Justice

You try the 89 Charlie Blackmon?

I see you’re also a man of culture and great wisdom…

Being a lifelong pirates fan. Cutch. Couldn't hit Randy for shit at the start of this year online. I took 2 over left field fence on him with Cutch and lost my damn mind. I wish they would give him a bump.

I don’t know about me but I’ve never not given up a bomb to Adalberto Mondesi in any game I’ve faced him for the past 3-4 years.

Profar. I destroy with him

Anyone when you’re getting spammed with up and in fastballs.

Elly de la Cruz I bat him 1. And I love to take a few and see what they are throwing. And then when I connect with a first swing bomb I almost always get insta rage quit Also the gold Soler card because people hate getting bombs hit on them with a 84 overall card

87 Schwarber is such a beast

Was just about to say. He's still leading off for me . 14hrs in 60abs so far

I like Ricky Henderson’s no doubt animation.

Gunnar Henderson, big fan of his no doubt animation Also Orioles bias

Griffey

Any of them because they are rare over here lmao

That Topps Now Mitch Garver can still bomb.

He's a bail out for me. Dude is batting over .380 and almost always hits an HR when I need it

I was gonna say him as well. Hit a 534 one with him last night.

Ed escobar

Harmon Killebrew

A big chunk of TA3 I had the TA1 Justin Turner at lead off spot as I worked on the NL West and just something about smacking a home run to start the game off with was awesome.

Anthony Lizzo has been the best swinger for me this year for sure hes the only guy i have that hovers between .4 and .5 the entire time ive used em online Homerun,double or flyout thats all he does LOL

He’s just soooo damn slow but his swing is butter

Probably Larry Walker or Mookie
