Featured Halo
Vlad has one of the most interesting swings in baseball history. He is described as a "free-swinger", yet is able to maintain a .325 career batting average. Depending on personal opinion, the swing has to be either the best or worst swing ever. But all that counts is that the swing works. See more Halos Players
Featured Team
