Hitting Whiffle balls with Tommy
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Hitting a baseball is about more than just making contact with the ball! You need proper footwork to build the powerful foundation to make a good hit. Breaking down a basic swing can be a challenge, so we share our steps for teaching proper stance and swing for a baseball bat. These concepts are great for beginners of all ages 4, 5, 6, 7 and even 8 year-olds! This can also be useful for players...

Simple Drills to Help Kids Catch Popups/Flyballs
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I go over 2 simple drills to help young athletes catch and track flyballs.
I had the hardest time getting the pitch to stay in the same spot each time with this machine. Still figuring it out. No matter what I did, the pitch moved right little by little until it wants to hit the batter. Still many more things I can try to do. Just need more time with it.
Great video, great drills!
Cool video thanks for the ideas!
Do you have to stake this machine down or can you use it without putting those two pins n the ground?
It can be used without the pins, but the stability with the pins in helps tremendously.
@@coachscornerWells ty
My son was just gave one he is in 6u and otw to state here in SC
Have fun!
Idk bout all this. Love the kid coaches tho. Takes a lot of patience. Thanks for trying to help our kids buddy. 😊
No worries!
New subscriber here👋. Great video and looking forward to using your videos to help my son!
Happy to be of help!
I like how you reiterate that its not about how many you catch its about moving correctly and technique. Lots of fist pumps and high fivee!
Thank you!
1st year coach. Thank you for the information.
Good luck!
Time to introduce the 101 mph fastball
Goals are great!
Thanks for the video!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
@@coachscornerWellshow often are you doing hitting drills with your sons. My daughter is in Tball.
Tball team practices only once a week. As a family we try to get out once a week more, but we slow down in the summer due to the Florida heat.
Thanks so much for these videos. Im trying to teach my son hitting, and everything i find online goes into more complex hitting drills, but this video is exactly what i needed! The most basic hitting instructions for somebody just starting out. Thank you so much!
Glad you found it helpful!
@@coachscornerWells Helpful is an understatement. My son was constantly dropping his hands and swinging underneath pitches. He's only in coach pitch and in first grade, but after teaching him with your videos, he went 4/4 tonight hitting. He was so happy and so was I! So thanks again, you've earned a subscription here.
I wonder if anyone has ever tried modifying this machine to use 2 springs instead of 1 for faster pitches lol.
How fast do you want it to go?
@@coachscornerWells 100 mph.....jk lol. I don't know, I was just curious is all lol.
@@ceesparxxx uh, wow! Not sure I would trust the mechanism at that speed!
@@coachscornerWells Yeah I wouldn't either tbh lol. But even something like 75 would be awesome too lol.
Gotta take my newbie little leaguers back to the basics of throwing (and stance). Thank you for this video.
Happy to help!
So helpful! Our t ball coaches just stick the kids out there without expecting much because "it's all just for fun". I was asked to help out this year (also coaching my other kids baseball team for the first time this year) and I love the intentionality you have in developing great hitting habits in t ball that will set the kids up to go into baseball with proper technique. I appreciate your placement of the t, for one. Makes a lot more sense and no one seems to put much thought into that. Practice with my little leaguers has shown me where I will have to shore them up, hitting not being the least of it. I will definitely utilize your instruction here. Thank you so much!
That is wonderful! Glad we can share what we have learned!
Why teach 5 yr olds to swing at balls above the waist? Looks like you placed the tee with the balls at nipple level.
Well, the t only goes so short.....and a higher t position is used to train them to control the bat. And we vary t level when the kid is tall enough or t goes short enough. My tballer was barely 4 at this point.
@@coachscornerWells Thanks for response. FYI, I managed to find a cheap Franklin all rubber T that positions the ball about 19" above ground. I could even cut the bottom off to lower it more if desired. Hitting went up dramatically in first use. Batters can actually swing downward to ball. It's at belt level for our 4-1/2 year olds.
How do you choose the right sized bat for a 6 year old in coach pitch?
#1 can they comfortably swing the bat? #2 make sure it meet requirements of the league #3 check reviews for durability.
Great tutorial and knowledge advice for the Blue flame Coach. My son is just starting little league. The wife and I are looking for a machine to buy so he and his sister who plays softball can practice with. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Shows how to use it on the mound in very easy to follow directions.
Thanks 👍
Thank you
Welcome!
Love your videos. Keepem comin!
Thank you!
Good to see someone going over fundamentals! Thanks for the content!
I feel strongly about preaching fundamentals at all levels.
Thank you! Your instructions are easy to follow!
Glad it helped!
Very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I’m going to use this with my tee ball team. I don’t know anything. But this helps
Wonderful!
Love this
Great!
First time volunteering to coach this spring and ur channel is a huge help thanks man
Happy to help!
My daughter is 4 and starting T ball this year. I wish I could find that bat you use.
You can make them out of PVC pipe too. Just made one and filled it with dirt to make a heavy bat for waffle ball practice! The heavy one is for my 8-12 yearolds.
Thank you for your help in everything!!! I’ve never watched or played baseball but I signed my 3 year old son and your videos have helped me so much on everything!!!
That is awesome!
Coach, thank you so much for the down and dirty explanation. I'm excited to get mine on the field. Do you have a suggestion of how often to change out springs?
I change them out every season. Amazon sells multi-packs.
Thank you for your help and explaining it step by step
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome vid! Appreciate the no bs explanation!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Would we be able to use this for slow pitch softball?
I do not know. Never tried.
Thanks for this. I'm a parent with two boys who recently got interested in baseball. Now it's the offseason and I want to teach them the basics before they sign up for little league. Can you recommend a good tee to get for 7 and 10 year old beginners?
Tanner Tee the Original adjustable batting tee is the best, but also expensive. You will be using for a long time, so not a terrible investment. Check Facebook marketplace for a used one! We have found the collapsible legs to be convenient for transportation, maneuverability and storage.
are you able to use softballs on it
Yes they can.
Thanks for the video. Great explanations that I will be implementing in a couple hours as we use it for our Fall Ball season. Subscribed for more videos! Much appreciated!
Any requests for topics?
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video, coach! Looking forward to purchasing one.
Glad you like it!
I modified a regular backback to put it at the front of my chest to hold the balls. This makes it way easier as you always have both hands free, and can load 2 dozen balls in it. There is no bending over to the pail for balls and will even protect your chest if need be.
Good idea!
Genius!!
You got a pic of it?
Good review/lesson Thx. I just bought the blue frame pro, and still tinkering. I saw another guy place the ball differently in the throwing arm. My machine has quite a punch. I modified it with 2 drill holes in the front crossbar and drove 2 stakes into the ground along with the ground spikes that came with it. No way I could use it without stakes, easily or consistently. I would be adjusting all day
You are welcome! I know another coach who did the same thing and put a 3rd stake in the rear leg.
I mounted mine to a 2x3' 5/8"piece of plywood and use 7 spikes. Actually 10-12 " carriage bolts ground to a point, and it does not move at all. It is no problem removing them either. I drilled 2 holes in the front crossbar as well 5 more holes in the plywood and bolted it to the plywood and use the spike holes for the carriage bolts and disassemble with the wing nut and leave the front bar bolted to the plywood. It goes nowhere
You are the only one I have seen that explains the physics like placing the ball correctly can affect the throw
We had the issue come up this season, so it was fresh on my mind to share what we had learned! Thanks for watching!
Really simple. Thanks for this.
You're welcome!
This is great. My 5 year old just start playing. And we are dying for instructions! Thank you
I am glad we could help!
Great video! I have watched a few videos about the Blue Flame and they always feel very general and not enough info. I think you got hit the sweet spot.
I appreciate that! Working on another one coming soon!
thank you!!!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
I would like to see a video on setting up the launcher and do you have a way of placing the ball on the launcher to make it throw consistent strikes.
Thank you for the suggestion! I will work on a video about that!
Thank you again for the suggestion! Video coming this weekend!
Good videos Coach, what model is the pitching machine?
The machine is the Louisville slugger blue flame.
👍
Thank you for your videos! Very thorough and educational! Keep them coming please!
Thank you! Got more in editing now!
How’d you make the bat
I had a wood dowel and used the wood lathe to turn the shape then sanded it down smooth. Once I was happy with the shape I painted some and some I have torched to make the grain stand out, finally I seal it wood poly urethane spray.
Great Video
Thank you! Stay tuned!
