The best explanation of the "capital W" that I've ever heard in 56 years. I will be using this with my team at practice tomorrow.

Watching these with my kids. Thanks for the easy breakdown! Got my Sub

These videos are fantastic and need more views. I love base-running, I especially love the banana turn and stealing 2nd

Thank you for your video, im trying to teach my 8yr old to pitch. I have never pitched, i was 2nd base but he really wants to try. Do you have any advice for teaching a young beginner?

How far from home plate is the fence ? For these age groups

Great informative video. A

Hey coach, I have stepped up to coach my 10/yo rec league this year. It’s a hybrid kid and coach pitch. I could really use some advice. We have 1 practice a week for only 1 hr. Some kids have played for 3 years and some are just learning the fundamentals of throwing and catching. In that 1hr, what do you think is most important? We only have 3 practices before our first game.

I wonder if the rules are designed to keep scoring as low as possible.

Great video. If the first pitch is a strike that you can hit well, why wait? Are we there to hit or walk? As you mentioned, you don’t want to have the mentality of swinging at everything early, but definitely should be prepared to jump on a good fastball in the zone. This advice is rarely given anymore. This is baseball and we want to but the barrel on the ball…it’s one of the best parts of the game!

I'm with you Coach. Why take a strike Ona pitch you know will probably be good? Never made sense to me.

This is so helpful as my sons are at an age where I can’t tell them ANYTHING 😂 so to have you teach fundamentals instead is great. Thanks!!

You missed to explain what a Ball is in this video. A ball is a pitch that misses the strike zone and the batter doesn't swing at it.

YOU have the heart of a teacher and the brains of a coach. When doubles or triples happen, of course yoy get to see the replay immediately. (Maybe 3 times.) But if you're trying to understand what happened and aren't a baseball-centric person who already knows the rules, it's too quick and not a thorough enough explanation to understand it. Thank you.

Very helpful I’ve took a one size fits all approach I’ve had some kids I felt were uncoachable zero effort maybe it was me not adapting to the children new focus thank you

Not every player wants to learn or get better. There are some who are there because their parents have forced them to be and they may not even be interested in playing. This is fine for trying a new sport, but if it's clear the kid doesn't enjoy it and you still force them to be there, you're typically going to end up with an uncoachable kid. Because they don't care about the sport and don't really want to be there anyway. So no not every kid is coachable.

Currently on my redemption arc ill be happy if i end up in the bottom of the farms but im pushing🫡

Great advice, and very helpful to keep in mind that as a coach you're not merely trying to get your team to win or even just produce better athletes, but acting as a mentor for the kids' overall development - and building a relationship with them through the intentional dialogue that you discussed can be the basis for overcoming obstacles that make it difficult to coach them. This can lead to more effective development of those kids as individuals/athletes and better cohesion as an overall team. Thanks Coach Hart!

Very helpful video. How many sets and reps of each of these 4 exercises should you do?

Yes I understand the pressure put on the game rules by the broadcasters, money! I do NOT like the new rule. If non pitchers are pitching the team at bat should be able to score. ron

Your channel deserves more views, please never stop uploading. I’m a little league umpire and have learned so much from your videos

thanks for posting this!

My son wants to throw hard before getting more accurate

Thank you for this video. You perfectly reinforced why I wanted to coach this year, having basically zero knowledge and never played as a kid. I only fell in love with this sport last year and a lot of the time, I am coaching kids who know more than me! Throughout the season, and with the help of channels like yours, we had a super successful run, and I gained enough confidence to want to come back next year. Thanks, coach!

If the opposite team catch the ball, can the runner run to 2nd or 3rd base?

Great video! These tips are very useful

May I recommend widening your video screen to see your demonstration of drills a bit better? Enjoy the channel!

Excellent breakdown!

This helped. Thanks

Get passed balls? Please cut that part out 😂

Excellent job! You sound a bit like Mark Wahlberg presenting, which is also excellent. Thank you!

I love your videos. I’m a little league head coach for a new association. I’ve created a private channel that’s only for our team families so the kids can still get some baseball time in at home. Simple back yard and basement drills. Sandlot with the buddies drills. Very basic fundamental stuff. There’s never enough time in practices to fit all the offensive and defensive situational awareness training in so videos at home are a great way to help them understand those things. Cutoff positions. Backing up throws etc. I only have three videos that are required viewing for all my kids and they’re the three baseball brain videos. I’m a huge positive thinking and visualization guy. It all starts in the head. Teaching them about the law of attraction is a bit much at their age but essentially it’s what I stress with them in ways they can comprehend. You do what you think and how you think is how you do it. Thanks for making great videos. I actually have quite a few of yours in the RAGING BULLS KNOWING BASEBALL channel.

If a Little League fielder chases a ground ball, and in doing so, crosses a baseline causing a runner to go outside the baseline to avoid a collision and possible injury, is the runner out?

I play first. So every time we get 3 out I put ball in my glove after inning before I go hit. Then after I hit then we go on field I usually do 2,so,3rd repeat.❤❤

Actually such a good video, going into HS and seeing which glove i wanted to get cause im switching from catcher to center field cause i randomly got really fast lol, puberty??🤣🤣

As a new coach, I absolutely love these. Thank you so much for putting them out. They are perfect if I have one piece of advice, in a playlist series like this get rid of the intro.

My daughter just started playing softball (age 7-8 league) and I've been trying to step in to assist with the coaching. I know that most other coaches out there are moms, dads, and volunteers, but there are some real philosophical differences between myself and the majority of coaches/parents that I've come across in that they look at the score or whether they get a "W" or an "L" more than the development of the players when they spend little to no time learning how to effectively teach the latter. In the end, it seems to be more about the ego of the adults when it comes to winning, as if winning is the only fun thing about the game. I appreciate your videos because you emphasize a healthy perspective on the end goal of the overall development of the kids in baseball/sports/life!

I love this instruction video very helpful!

Really helped

I love point number 3. One caution is you can’t just talk the long term thought process. But you have to walk it out. Developing a second or third position(for example) at practice for each guy BUT then putting the kids in those positions in games. Back to the point of improvement over wins. I dig the videos! Thank you!

New to yourh baseball scorekeeping. I've watched a fee of your videos and learned a great deal. Do you have a video explaining exactly what all of these terms are? I know nothing, about baseball!

Good job coach.

shoulders? why did you make a video about this....
