Ultimate Baseball Training I cannot thank you enough for this video - I’ve struggled all season to consistently get that good hip shoulder separation and it wasn’t until I listened to you explain how to create it (every other hitting video out there talks about consciously “loading/pinching the scap” or bringing the hands back and it was always way too much to think about - I saw your video Thursday night and practiced it dry, off the tee and during front toss, hand to god I was 4-6 with two doubles, a base hit, and an oppo line drive base hit with 2 outs that plated 2 RBIs and broke a 3-3 and won the game for us - Seriously, thank you for this video

Im super flexible so my back just turns to the pitcher sometimes on accident. Guess ill have to watch that

Me too!!!

You're welcome, Broc!

I just clicked out of curiosity, but he's got it spot on. Especially for a younger guy.

@@curtisehoffman There's a lot of good stuff going on in this video, but i wish he would break it down simpler for his younger viewers (Assuming that's his main audience considering the comments he's getting). He's covering the main principle of hitting which is rhythm which in return develops the sense of timing. If you are doing the drill's correctly that he's showing in the video you will find yourself "throwing" your hands instead of forcing the bat through the zone. The most common misconception in hitting is understanding the concept that "quick" is power. I promise you will hit the ball harder and with more authority to all parts of the field once you completely trust your ability to throw you hands as quick as possible rather than forcefully. On another note, after you've completely bought into the concept and trust your hands, you'll realize how much easier it is to time up pitching. That's a whole other discussion but this video should be the foundation for any young hitter that buys into what he's saying.

You should hit MOST days of the week. Quality reps are extremely important, but you'll never be a great hitter by hitting once a week. Throwing is a little bit different because your arm needs to rest, but I'd recommend throwing 4-5x per week and long tossing 2-3x.

hit 6 days a week. throw 4 times but each time is different, look at throwing routines.

Thanks Jerry!

I'm glad you liked them!

I say go for it. Not too complicated. Start with simple fundamentals and build upon. I am coaching 10u girls and use many of these and Antonelli's videos for instruction and drills.

The earlier they start to work in propper hitting mechanics, the better.

I usually tend to short arm the baseball a lot. Does a stretch band help?

Same bro

Baseball TTV everyday man gotta strive for greatness!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😤

@Ian Wolff Thanks man, appreciate it.

What's up, Joel!

I agree

Bruce Lee could knock out an opponent with his 2 inch punch

@@nerychristian in the fucking movies. Too much people put Lee on a pedestal. Jackie Chan could take any MMA fighter when he was younger also.

there can be a variety of different reasons why he's doing that. I would try to refrain from changing anything physical or mechanical within his swing until you understand why he's doing that. this can create a lack of confidence in his swing. For instance, majority of young hitters drop their back shoulder in an attempt to CREATE the angle. This guy in the video is attempting to show you guys how to PROPERLY throw your hands, which is a common misconception for majority of hitters. so for an initial change try to alter his perception of hitting instead of frantically trying to change the actual swing.

Cesar Arcizo thank you. My son did say he noticed he was doing it but he wasn’t sure why. I will just talk to him more and see if he is trying to “over power” his swing.

It's a process. Work on his stance, making sure he is in a balaced and athletic position head to toes. Do Load, stride drills without swinging, just to check the body movement and launch position. Better if done in front of a mirror. Progress to freeze at contact position. Check again. This helps to see body position, again, head to toe, still on the mirror. - what he sees will be better understood. Avoiding tousands of coaching words. Progress to hitting off the tee, putting all together, about 50% of the swing speed. Then increase to 70% or so. Then soft side toss, again, just to see a fluid swing. Then front soft toss short distance. Finally live pitch, soft coach pitch, half distance. This is more game like. Keep it short, moving and fun! Let him rest and feel it and learn it without overcoaching. Happy Swings. 😎⚾

What's up! Have a great weekend!

Thanks for helping me.

The difference is that the boxer's potential energy is in his arm, the archer's is in his bow. Boxer is more apt.

Ask your coach

It’s all in your head. Try to not think about it. Easier said than done and cheesy I know 😂but it does work

If you are a bully, you grab them and do that. But in boxing you do do that too just not as big of a pull back
