This is a quote from Rudy Jaramillo on the ESPN website under Peter Gammons

"Bonds is a student who never stops learning," says Jaramillo. Barry told Rick Sutcliffe that he's learned to keep his upper half still, generate the thrust in his lower half, then throw his hands at the ball as if he's hitting a nail with a hammer. "He's got an incredibly quick, strong, fighter's upper hand," says Jaramillo.
