I would love to see a video about front side pull vs backside push swings. As a youth coach i see many different opinions and approaches to hitting on this topic. And to elaborate on what i mean. Ive seen a lot of teaching towards you drive the front shoulder open and your hands go a long for the ride. Most people who swing like this dont even feel there hands come into play. Then there are the other half who feel a good swing comes from the back side with your top hand punching through, more so than your lead shoulder pulling through. I hope i explained that well enough for you to get an idea of what im asking. As usual great video, and i look forward to checking out the next one

I’m struggling with timing the ball

I am struggling to square the ball up every time I make contact it’s a ground ball

Should my foot be slightly open in my launch position?

Timing up the ball and not pulling my head

Have you seen this video yet? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLaFpJua0qqmkaM.html

I thought that it was just a me problem

You have to decide what your goal is and make small adjustments accordingly. If you're down a run with a man on second and 2 outs in the 8th, it's an 0-2 count and you naturally have a long swing, you may want to slip farther away from the plate, more toward the outside of the box, so you don't have that trouble hitting an inside pitch. Some players move up slightly in the box, some shorten up their swing. Many options. It's whatever works best for you. Hitting is NOT one size fits all.

Just go monke, think simple

Shorten up your swing. Choke up on the bat. Speeds up your path to the ball and helps u make contact. Also watch the ball as soon as it leaves the pitchers hand. Depending on how it's coming in you should be able to tell whether to swing or not

Teach them what I wish I knew knocking knuckles in line and other fundamentals they teach in the batting videos just make it fun for them to learn

Have them field with stepping right foot left foot field right foot left foot throw

@Baseballbman111 so true

practice, i noticed my batting eye got better when i started umping

@@squaaam2263 I've started umping this year but for some reason it feels different being in the batters box

@@Noah-sx5hc the first thing they told us when we did our level 1 was "call lots of strikes" so for me that meant treat every pitch like 0-2 and it's helped but i cant make good contact

@@squaaam2263 alright thanks I'll keep that in mind

Johannes long toss

Thanks John! 👊🏼

Elijah Fernandez you should eat low fastballs like dinner

@@isaiahsmith3503 low and outside fbs can be very tough, especially if you're a bit off the plate.

What worked for me was letting it get deeper. Idk but that worked for me

@@heathbudd4365 yeah u gotta let the ball travel and don’t lunge

Okay, thanks! I'll try to make a video on this!

It's not such a bad thing, especially if your average is high. The biggest thing is to create faster hip/trunk rotation so the swing looks more "violent". Watch Griffey Jr and notice how fast he rotates. This however does have it's drawbacks.

You do that to find out if your bat can reach over the plate if you swung. To make sure you're not to far back or close

Yes! Check this out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9Oikq-U3ODacmg.html

Caleb Lee Put your bay down just a bit and don’t swing super hard. Trust me I will still go far.

Thanks

Similar problem with me

Izaak Knight depends how fast the pitcher is

Practice. And if it's a longer throw, work on jogging/running up to grab the ball and let the momentum help you. Some OF complain this makes long distance accuracy hard, that's a sign of the throw having a poor release point.

I'll try to make a video covering this soon!

Yes please. Im a 2nd basemen and my problem is when its a grounder to you and you are turning 2. When its hit right at me and im already in the perfect position to field it i feel like my feet turn to glue and i dont move them This causes me to make mistakes with my footwork when flipping/tossing

When throwing, throw with your right foot and left foot up. For better footwork

Everyone has a different release point. As long as it works and feels comfortable, I say, use that. For me, I use a position in beetween side arm and up right.

Relax.... It's what most hitters need to understand.. if you're stiff your motion sucks your timing is off... Just make sure your basically limp before the ball is pitched..

If you drop your hands while loading, it can make hitting off speed pitches harder and you'll lose some power. But if your comfortable and it works, feel free to keep doing that. Just know that you may struggle later on and have to break that habit.

His swing and stance could be the problem. Tell him to try and bend more because the strike zone is from the knee to the upper chest. His swing should be like a smile face. You would want to hit the ba a little under the center of gravity for backspin. If he swings in a straight line or down it will be harder to hit because the ball is going down and you would have to hit it perfectly. He should start his swing around the time the pitchers arm passes their belt buckle.
