Fungo is ultimate art. My kids and fellow coaches make all the funs. They carry rackets, tee-ball bats, hit off a tee, you name it. I carry a fungo😊

Our catcher gets a ton of practice when I’m hitting fungos… mostly because I miss 1/10 swings. 🤣

Great video coach just what I was looking for, I’m new to baseball so my son wants more practice so when I take him to the park and I’m struggling to hit he plays outfield and hitting those balls are a struggle for me I know this will help me out though thank you. 👍

Thanks for the video, Coach. It seems so simple until you're in front of 15 kids waiting for their turn so I appreciate the break down. Do you still swing and miss sometimes even with your experience?

@DanBlewett Жыл бұрын

I dont swing and miss really, but I definitely can hit a bunch of bad ones in a row and start putting pressure on myself. its not always easy, so just laugh at yourself and have fun with it!

Hi Coach, thanks for your video. I was wondering what length, weight, and diameter would you recommend for the little league bat that would used as a fungo bat? Wooden fungo bats are usually long like 35-37" but you mentioned using shorter than full size little league bat. So would you recommend using a 31", -10, 2 3/4 or even shorter?

@DanBlewett 3 жыл бұрын

You know, I was just grabbing little league bats that were 2 1/4 barrel, probably around 30 inches, and they worked really well. As long as they're light, longer is better. I dont think you need to overthink it, but I'd say stick with 2 1/4 barrel because it tends to let you get underneath a little easier. Find a cheap used one on Ebay or Mercari for $25 and you'll be good to go.

the internet is better when people keep their anger inside and keep comments constructive in nature. I'm not hurt, but the world would be better off without comments like yours.
