The biggest part of all this is preventing all the “old habits” from creeping back in, (e.g. shifting your weight forward and using your back arm to push the bat forward)! Learning to balance the majority of your weight on your back foot before and during your “snap” at the start of your swing!

This may just be the number 1 hitting vid of all time. Idgaf what anyone says, this is it right here “ballers.”

The command drill is a must! Aiden and I work on it almost every session during our tee work

Teacherman is a genius

I wish I saw this video when I was playing baseball. You are awesome

Thats great info Richard.

Can’t wait to work out with him today! Let’s go!!!!

wish I knew about Teacherman’s techniques when I was playing D1 ball… it’s okay I’ve been using it in my men’s league and on fire 🔥

Rich is Golf's Dalton McCrary of baseball. If you don't know Dalton McCrary, his philosophy is to release the clunhead early. He says that the pros are quick enough to snap their wrists at the bottom of the swing, but the average person isn't. But, the pros, when out of sync, can't hit either. That's why they don't win every week. By releasing the clubhead early he creates a 36 inch zone to hit the ball. The same philosophy as Rich has in baseball. Dalton was hated on also by conventional golfers as is Rich. Keep up the good work Rich. BTW, Dalton's Program Turned me from a hacker to a 5 HC. No complaints from me. I'm going to try to implement Rich's philosophy on my grandson.

I’d like to see him demonstrate the command drill with a hitter

Right on 👍

❤it he's like a hitting engineer

I can’t find my swing that works for me and it is hard to hit off pitch machine and pitchers, do you have any opinions or options for me?

That's very funny to hear him say the ball eventually runs into the ark. When I was still questionable about this swing I was in my yard and I spun the ball around in the circle off the T that's attached to an arm. And with that bat on the angle that the walls real creates eventually that spin will always hit the bat. I know that's not the same as hitting a pitched ball but that was my big aha moment with this swing. We could almost never hit the ball when it was spinning full spin with our old swing. But just leaving the bat in the downward angle the ball will hit the bat eventually every single time

4:35 been telling my boys this for years. They'd wait to see if it's a strike or not before getting started. By then it's too late

I love this guy. But i lost it when he said, " ...the muscles think forward, and we gotta think reeeeerrr!" 😂😂😂

Can you cover the logic of the wall drill? Is the idea there to give practice at “whacking the mole”?

Agree with the swing mechanics for baseball and fast pitch softball. I haven’t tried but I play slow pitch now in my 40s. Do you think swinging like this will generate the extra power needed to hit a ball coming much slower??

hey so im confused on this now. I've seen videos of yours that you say you snap your hands to wherever the ball is, but here you're saying you snap your hands to the same place and your body carries the bat to the ball. anything helps, thanks for your time.

It's like golf Mike you only grab the bat where it don't fly out of your Hand just you were gonna swing it would feel like it would almost lay out of your head that's a Perfect grip that's why you use the knob on the bottom the looser to grip the faster to swing cause there's no stress on your muscles

Manny didn’t look like he was wacking the mole with a wrist snap. Looked more like slotting the back elbow and turning the barrel deep behind.

How can I get you to work with me?

Does this apply to softball swings as well or no? Thanks

Can this technique be incorporated into a golf swing?

Yea well no kidding 😂

I have my grandson and he is learning to hit what would be the first drill he should do ?

Why is it that every time you take a swing you lose your balance?

I do not think you are wrong, hitting is fascinating and as long as you are an athlete, you understand your swing and you can see the ball well, you have good chances of becoming a good hitter. However, what you are saying is incorrect is exactly what the best hitter on the last two decades has been doing. That being said, I know that Aaron Judge is doing your method and it works for him, but saying that your way is the only way to hit a baseball and be successful is far from the ultimate truth.

This is terrible stuff.

You would complicate a recipe for ice water.
