hey kids quit asking this guy questions!!! he has the right idea, but to many flaws that wil f yiur swing up.
@aboveallcrackers slam ur head against the wall atleast 20 times a day……
when i swing. somehow ive gotten into the habit of pulling my should and just rolling over out side pitches and curve balls. is there any drill or anything that could break that habit?
hi, my name is time & im an alcoholic
(sorry)
A lot of hitting is preference, like stance and load up (though generally, the whole 80-20 load is where you want to be). But for the love of God, keep your hands inside the ball. This man is a genius.
@Actionyaction, make sure to take steroids so you can become the VERY best.
is this rotational hitting?
Don’t think ahead … Just see every pitch and take the ones that u like
hi my name is jordan and i play babe ruth baseball and i can never seem to hit the ball consistent. is there anything that i can do to be more consistent?
@NaTuRaLxFrag maybe a longer bat. not really a stance to use because then there is no power in your swing and chances are you will be uncomfortable.
Hi Im Bob and im 16 and I hit to many many homers and im the best. any help?
Hey coach, my name is zach, I’m 15 years old, I play highschool ball, and I’m 6′5. For some reason, when I swing when the ball is coming, it seems as if I can’t reach it, I don’t know why. Is there are stance that is good for a tall guy like me?
Hey coach i have a question. I seem to have spikes of hitting. One week im the best hitter on the team. The next im one of the worst. I know everyone goes through slumps, but what are the keys to staying consistent. Also, my two big problems seem to be 1. Being too early and 2. Getting under the ball. What can I do to improve on that?
no reason to turn toward the catcher when you load, you will only make your swing longer and get jammed more often on inside pitches.
@aboveallcrackers
If you’re still pulling your head look at the angle of your front foot after you step. If your foot is at more than a 45 degree angle from the rest of your body, get then angle at roughly 45 degrees or less until the problem is fixed.
Im about to start playing highschool baseball next year, i have a good natural swing but never really had a coach on how to swing or what to change in my swing. I can hit over 300 on a nice hit but i find myself hitting a lot of ground balls. Why is this and how do i fix it? What drills would be good?
@VikingsAP24 To not drop your shoulder use a tee. if u use the tee a lot then u will build up a habbit of not dropping your shoulder because it is almost impossible to hit a ball of a tee if you drop your shoulder
Very informative video that I can relay to my son. Anyone have ideas on training a 6-7 year old for batting, catching and throwing?
This is one of the best videos of hitting I have seen. Thanks so much for your help
@lilrip2123 the pitch is away and let the pitch get deep on you and stay closed when you bring your hands through the zone and hit the ball to the opposite field and if you are having trouble putting all together when somebody is pitching to on the field trying swinging at 70% and just concentrating on your mechanics and you should find it is a lot easier to hit the ball away
@lilrip2123 i had the same problem your hips are flying open when you swing causing you to spin off the ball and hit off the end of the bat or miss it completely this problem is fixed by working on hitting the ball away on the tee when you master that you move to the cages and you set up the machine to throw away when start consistenly hitting line drives the opposite way move to the baseball field with somebody throwing to you and that will bring everything together you will have to recognize
@CoachCorral38 how do i keep my back shoulder from dipping? also what do i do with my hands if my hands are already on the trigger position when im in my stance? i always been told to go from a to b in my swing. but i notice that hasnt created any homeruns for me. thank you! please help
for you people that are pulling your head, best practice is a tee, Beacause Tees arent only for little kids!!!
I keep trying to hit the longball and keep dropping and shoulder and end up popping the ball whats a good drill to fix this
This is back leg hitting, you should hit off your front leg..
