Dave Roberts, manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, has experienced working with notable MLB players including Shohei Ohtani and Barry Bonds. Under Roberts, Ohtani made history as the first 50/50 player in MLB. While Roberts views Ohtani as a top hitter comparable to Bonds, he considers Bonds to be the best player he's observed due to Bonds' exceptional batting average and on-base skills. Roberts reflected on his experience with Bonds during his final MLB season, noting Bonds' impressive statistics and dominance as a hitter.
"I think that they're in the top of their field as far as hitters. Barry just had a shorter swing. ... But Barry was just, to be quite frank, Barry's the best hitter I've ever seen."
"To be able to hit .300-something every year, to get on base the way he got on base, to be able to swing the bat three times a week and hit three homers, it will never happen again."
