You are an absolute master of teaching hitting! Thank you for all you do

Acuna has one of the whippiest bats I've ever seen

Ronald is gong to be even better next season.

Perfect timing! Have been working with my son, trying to keep a good posture through his whole swing. Awesome breakdown Matt. We just watched this together and it helped him understand a whole lot better than what I was teaching.

Wow, Acuna has great patience, discipline, and extremely quick reaction to be able to do this. He must do this thousands of times in practice. He's a hitting machine. Keep up the vids Matt. We all learned a lot from you.

Hey Matt. Could you do a video showing the middle inside pitch versus middle outside pitch hit well by the same player? In an ideal situation, are we sending outside pitches to opposite field and inside pitches more on the pull side? If we are putting a big emphasis on sending everything to opposite field then are we a bit more susceptible to velocity since we will be making contact deeper in the hitting zone? Appreciate your content!

I started out as pull hitter with a lot of power down the line maybe because I was too anxious at the plate, but once I learned to hit to the opposite field correctly, it seemed like I did have more power all over the field. It's a really good feeling to drive the ball to right-center with power. Also, I saw Tony Gwynn drive one off the left center wall in a game, once. It was awesome.

Hey man I’m 14 and I’ve never played baseball before and thought about joining our team this year (we’re 2a so there’s no try outs) but I was wondering if it’s to late and I shouldn’t start because it’d be a waste of time.

It's never too late to start but the earlier the better if you want to try play at higher levels

If it’s a no tryout team it’s prbly a lotta kids alike u. U should try. But what do I know

@jdog2792 6 ай бұрын

Do it bro. I didn’t start playing ball seriously till my sophomore year. Just know your goals. If you want to make it big it’s going to take hard word. Starting late just means working harder but you can do it. If not, play for the love of the sport.

What about his back foot Matt? It didn’t “screw” into the ground. Instead he seemed to tap it a few inches to the left upon impact

@AntonelliBaseball 6 ай бұрын

Are you talking about how it kicks back? Everyone’s back foot moves differently as the back leg turns. Some kick back. Some move forward. Some pick up. Some don’t move anywhere. I teach to screw into the ground on the load, but when the leg turns the foot can do what it wants

Ok thanks for clarifying.

Hey Matt, do you think some attribution of power that Acuña possesses to the right side has to do with how his back knee just drives hard into the ground, or towards the hitting zone? Especially with his directional stance in how he’s almost closed, or dives into the zone, ala Altuve? Like to get your thoughts on that. On another note, just curious if you know Shawn Wooten, former professional player with the Angels? We both grew up in West Covina, CA and around many names I’m sure you’ve either heard of or played with (or against). He’s an outstanding hitting coach up in Minnesota now. At any rate, thanks for all you do.
