In my last video, I hid the number 55. This number was my MLB number, and It's very special to me. When I was younger, I dreamed of having #5. That was my favorite number. Well... I got to the big leagues with the St. Louis Cardinals and Albert Pujols had that number, so I decided to be #55 - The Double Nickel. Anyway, hit that like button and subscribe to the channel if you're new here.
I played little league baseball from age 5 until I was 12 years old then I played travel baseball at age 13 and played for coaches that played pro or college. Then I went on to play highschool baseball for three straight years and then I went to MLB tryouts and the Florida Marlins which now is the Miami Marlins was interested in me. So at one point in time I was being scouted by the Florida Marlins but that's been almost 20 years ago I never played pro or college but I was taught by coaches that played pro or college. But my playing days are over but I still have the passion and I still love the game of baseball and it's still in my blood. So I'm thinking about doing baseball lessons and when I was playing my positions were pitching and playing firstbase. So I know a thing or two about pitching, fielding, throwing, hitting, and base running. I've tried to reach out to academies in my local area and can't seem to get a response from anybody about doing lessons. But see I don't want to give lessons and not get anything out of it because I want to be able to improve their game and develop them to be the players that they want to be. So what do you recommend for a first timer who is trying to do baseball lessons?
Thanks Jermaine, You have answered our prayers my 14u son has been in a hitting slump I’ve noticed his been drifting forward a bit and has been way out in front with moon shots that are foul balls. It’s hard to watch seeing the struggle on his face breaks my heart. Any advice it will go a long way. Thanks again Jermaine I wish you well.
Recently I've been trying to find the answers to my problems hitting! I dont try and hit home runs or really pull heavy but regardless of that, I would hit most of my pitches and tosses to left center, occasionally center field. I've been trying to really just put a nice, smooth stroke on the ball and really let the ball come to me. I would swing so early that I was hitting off the end of the bat or would hit it towards the hands cause I was too far out in front. Watching Bonds, Boggs, Gwynn and a lot of the high contact guys, they preached bunting and playing "catch" with the bat. So I finally tried to bunt the ball! I see how certain pitches now were good for that and which ones werent. It really opened my eyes to the strike zone, and helped my mechanics a ton because I started seeing the ball hit the bat and see it through the zone much more clearly. Although a good portion of my bunts werent good, I started consistently making better contact and really driving the ball to right field, right center and hitting hard line drives every which way throughout the cage. Thank you for showing us this Jermaine, you are an amazing coach! Definitely gonna sub to learn more critical knowledge lol. And I look forward to going back to the cage to learn this lost art of bunting. Although I was only practicing off of a 60mph machine, I'll have to admit I was a bit timid to bunt the ball and get my face closer to the strikezone LOL.
Well hot dang! And another great video! Quick question, when doing the drills off the machine, what speed to you have it set at? I’ll of course adjust down for my kids if needed haha
It's at 90mph on that machine. But, I would put it at average pitching speeds to below average, if you're wanting to do drills off of it. And by the way, email me. You won the contest in the last video. That is, if you want it.
No, a wider stance or narrow stance wouldn't affect your power. You still have to get in the launch position. You're just starting late. Furthermore, you have to change your trigger. I have a video about timing on my channel.
First off who doesn’t wan’t to watch a baseball video that helps you get better. Also who wouldn’t want extra cash in their pockets!? But I think by adding incentives in some of your videos will cause people to pay more attention to what you’re actually saying I’m your videos.
We got 4th place out of 9 teams. In the semis versed a ridiculous team that shouldnt have been playing there.(too good) I hit three homers. One right and two left. (Im a switch Hitter) Pitched great!
Hey Nicholas, thank you for commenting and watching the video. I appreciate it. Glad you like the videos. I think I'm moving in the right direction when it comes to videos.
I would say you are. I am a local youth baseball/softball coach in my area and I’m always searching for good ideas or different ways to help my boys and girls out and I appreciate what you’re doing.
@@JermaineCurtis55 I watch so many videos on hitting and because I never played in highschoo,l my son thinks it's impossible to know what I'm talking about. I tell him mechanic's are the same even if I played in HS or not. His bat path isn't correct but he says it is.
@@flameofanor8252 hhaha that's usually how it goes when they get 15-18. My dad couldn't tell me anything at that age. He will come back to you in college.

Thank you, Toby! I appreciate you watching and commenting. It definitely helps me with the TH-cam Algorithm.
Well hot dang!
And another great video!

Well done 👍
Thank you for watching Anthony! You didn't comment the hidden number though
It was 42 😂 I actually hit a triple today that was oppo and rolled to the fence through the gap. Pretty deep ball as well
42. Another great video!
Thanks Lee! I appreciate you commenting and subscribing
Does a wider stance or narrow stance affect your power because i have a narrower stance and i am always late.
No, a wider stance or narrow stance wouldn't affect your power. You still have to get in the launch position. You're just starting late. Furthermore, you have to change your trigger. I have a video about timing on my channel.
42, another good video🔥
Thanks man you like this format huh?
Yes
Why?
First off who doesn’t wan’t to watch a baseball video that helps you get better. Also who wouldn’t want extra cash in their pockets!? But I think by adding incentives in some of your videos will cause people to pay more attention to what you’re actually saying I’m your videos.
And when you say incentives, you mean the money part?
42, what a great way to learn to be a more selective and patient hitter, stay back and learn to drive the ball hard the other way. Awesome stuff.
We got 4th place out of 9 teams. In the semis versed a ridiculous team that shouldnt have been playing there.(too good) I hit three homers. One right and two left. (Im a switch Hitter) Pitched great!
You're a stud! Happy for you, Johnny. Keep showing out. I'm going to post your comment for the studs of the weekend
@@JermaineCurtis55 Ok, Thx!
@@JermaineCurtis55 Btw, your videos really helped me focus on my mechanics.
Amazing, Glad I could help a stud like you
Awesome hitting advice, but there was 2 that looked like you hit them to centerfield instead of opposite field
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate you 🙏
Hit that like button! That ball was flying, way to square it up and go oppo. Number 42
Thank you Serg! I appreciate your comment.
Went 2 for 3 today??? But I really need to see this video 💯💯 I need to at least try to hit outside pitches, they kill me on the outside 😩
Great day at the plate. Going to give you a shout out.
@@JermaineCurtis55 🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💯💯 appreciate the love Mr. Curtis💯
Definitely the goal for my summer ball season to be able to go oppo consistently
I did the catch drill before a game I went 3 for 3 with 2 doubles 1 triple and 6 RBI’s I honestly think it’s the best drill to improve hitting
That was my gramma pitching for the other team tho
Can you do inside pitch next
42, love the vids
Hey Nicholas, thank you for commenting and watching the video. I appreciate it. Glad you like the videos. I think I'm moving in the right direction when it comes to videos.

Awesome, I'm sure there are plenty of guys on YT thst help. Glad I'm 1 of those on the list. Thank you
People tell me my bath path is off and it looks like I’m swinging up and it creates a lot of topspin. Do you know how I can fix it?
Use the high tee about chest high and try to hit it up the middle.
BUT, are you having success hitting the way you are right now? If so, why change?
@@JermaineCurtis55 our regular season just ended I went 20-66 hit .303 16rbis but only two xbhs and we have playoffs Friday.
I want to hit doubles but I just try to hit the ball hard
Looks like you had a good year. CONGRATS To you!!!!
They will come.
42!!
Thank you Fundough for liking and subscribing! Also, for joining the contest.
42, thanks but you try and tell my senior how to hit. LMBO
