Kevin Youkilis' batting stance is, shall we say, a little different than most.

He keeps his hands far higher than most MLB hitters and almost points the bat at the mound at one point. One could call it unorthodox, cool, equal parts (seemingly) impractical and deliciously wacky or any number of adjectives.

Though given his .281 career average, 150 home runs and 618 RBIs in 10 MLB seasons, you'd have to admit it works.
