I get it now! I love this channel, my mechanics have gotten way better but now im working on pitch recognition bc your swing doesnt matter if you dont have both.
The ‘sink’ also helps you swing on the same trajectory of a curveball. Ie not flat. Had never put that thought into words but you nailed it with that description.
Thanks for the video Coach. Used damn near every video you've uploaded for my team.. They're 13U this year so anymore info on drills to.help with hitting off-speed pitches are much appreciated
Thanks for the tips! Do you think you can make a video on how to use your hips in your swing? I’ve always been told that I need to use my hips more but not sure how to go about doing that.
Great video on the mechanics of hitting the curve/breaking ball but that's only half the story. Do you have, or can you do a video on what needs to come first.....pitch recognition...and what helped you see it and make this mechanical adjustment.
Hi ! I’m a junior high school baseball player from Taiwan I want my batting skills get better Could I send my batting video to you and you can point out what I have to improve?
This is all great if you recognize the curve and recognize it early. If you only recognize it when you see the ball “bite,” (maybe after you’ve begun your swing) you doom yourself to topping grounders. How do you spot the deception early?
I watched this video and a million others and got the same advice from friends and tried and failed in game. It was when I actually hit curveballs (off a machine) I got better.
Hi couch Justin if you have the time to make any high school baseball tips or advice specifically (Freshman)...Bating, fielding and conditioning that would be really appreciated.
Anything really. just one full video of high school baseball and what to expect, what not to do and how to prepare. I really rely on you. Tip of the hat
hey coach justin , i wanna know if you think this will be a good twist to the drill. how about have someone at the mound and when it’s a fastball act like that’s what they’re throwing , no difference in their arm motion , and when they throw a curve have that flick in their hand or a difference in their mechanics. so once you get older we can realize the pitch faster.
That's a really good drill to do! MOST pitchers, at least until you get to college, will do something different that gives away when they are throwing an offspeed pitch. I think your idea is awesome!
Good question. You rise up a little bit, but the sink is very, very small. You're not sinking 12 inches... you're just getting a little lower to the ground to buy you some time
Hey man, nice video. I am trying to sink more to buy time find it hard. I noticated you didn't sink much in your example swings at 6:45, and 8:24. You paused though at 6:45. Does that work for you?
I’m a power hitter so I crush every fast ball I hit , every pitcher I play they never throw me fast balls because it’s going over the fence ✌🏿I’ve been having problems hitting off speed pitches and I need help
KB go to his community page in his yt channel and it shows workouts for kids in 50/70 and senior league it helps for workouts and then those workouts eventually get u more bat speed
Okay cool! I can help with that. Watch this video on timing first: th-cam.com/video/X0kSEA-3lSg/w-d-xo.html I've got a lot of great drills for boosting bat speed and power on the channel as well!
I am 11 playing on 12u aau team and I struck out on a curveball with the bases loaded and I made the last out. The next game I didn’t get a curveball and hit two homeruns.
this is funny, my high school coach was teaching this the same way that you are and i think that he got it from you haha
That's awesome!! I hope it was helpful haha
I struggled with curves too much as well now I’ve gotten a bunch of practice and can hit them with almost no problem.
Practice is a major key!
Why didn’t I youtube “How to hit a curve ball” in high school 😰 Thanks man!
I’m in high school and I went form a #2 spot hitter to a 6 mostly because of curveballs. This helped me a lot!
I get it now! I love this channel, my mechanics have gotten way better but now im working on pitch recognition bc your swing doesnt matter if you dont have both.
Awesome tips as usual Justin. I think you may have just lost a few Pitchers who subscribed ;o)
Hahaha thank you!
Great vid i liked the part of confidence so keep up the great work.
I will! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it

Your channel is so goooooood!!! Keep it up!!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate it!

That's great to hear! I'm glad I'm able to help!! Thanks for watching!
That was always my biggest obstacle... Damn. I wish I could go back in time and utilize this knowledge.😌
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video James. It sure would be nice to go back in time sometimes!
Great video as always! Question, would a wider stance help to keep your hands back?
Great Stuff Coach Justin
Thanks man!!
Thanks for the tips! Do you think you can make a video on how to use your hips in your swing? I’ve always been told that I need to use my hips more but not sure how to go about doing that.
You should check out the video where I show the "Ballistic Backside" drill! That will really help you use your hips better!
Ultimate Baseball Training Which video would that be in?

Nice to meet you! If you shoot me an email, I can try to take a quick look!
Thank you
What’s your Email address?
I am from Taiwan as well!
@@user-dd9yy4pu9y did u get the email

Amazing video coach justin
Thanks so much!
Thanks Coach! This helps me alot
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that!

Hi couch Justin if you have the time to make any high school baseball tips or advice specifically (Freshman)...Bating, fielding and conditioning that would be really appreciated.
Do you have anything specific you'd like to see? Pretty much all of my videos can be applied to freshman in high school!
Anything really. just one full video of high school baseball and what to expect, what not to do and how to prepare.

Ultimate Baseball Training thanks 💯
Reminds me of how Beltre would sink to a knee to hit those offspeed pitches, obviously an exaggerated version but still awesome.
Great Video! Can you show how to recognize the spin of the ball on a pitch? Thanks
Thank you! That's a good idea. I'll try to add that to the list!
Its gonna help a lot of people
I hope so!
Hey Justin, your videos are great but I have a question. When we sink for a curveball, do we rise up or just stay there?
Good question. You rise up a little bit, but the sink is very, very small. You're not sinking 12 inches... you're just getting a little lower to the ground to buy you some time
Ok thanks. Now I'm gonna go practice.
Hey man, nice video.
I am trying to sink more to buy time find it hard.
I noticated you didn't sink much in your example swings at 6:45, and 8:24. You paused though at 6:45. Does that work for you?
Great vid can u make a vid on how to hit sliders
I can make a video about that! Many of the same principles apply though for ALL offspeed pitches!
Ultimate Baseball Training ok thanks
What if I catch my self moving my hands forward? Should I stop them before the zone? Attempt the ball?
I’m a power hitter so I crush every fast ball I hit , every pitcher I play they never throw me fast balls because it’s going over the fence ✌🏿I’ve been having problems hitting off speed pitches and I need help
"As soon as we lose our hands then we lose our entire body." great quote
So true in hitting! Thanks for watching!
Can you do this for all the other pitches
Yes I can, although a lot of the same principles apply!
1st nice video
Thank you!
Ultimate Baseball Training can you please make a how to throw accurate
I've got a few videos on how to throw more accurately. Check them out!
I’m on 14 AAA and it’s my first year on AAA so I don’t know what to expect from the better pitching. Any tips?
Sit back and shorten your swing
What bat do u have
Thanks! Watched it with my 6th grader
I need more help with timing and speed with my swing.
KB go to his community page in his yt channel and it shows workouts for kids in 50/70 and senior league it helps for workouts and then those workouts eventually get u more bat speed
Okay cool! I can help with that. Watch this video on timing first: th-cam.com/video/X0kSEA-3lSg/w-d-xo.html
I've got a lot of great drills for boosting bat speed and power on the channel as well!
Can you make a video of you playing an actual game? I'm curious how u are in-game.
If I get the opportunity I will be sure to do that!
I am 11 playing on 12u aau team and I struck out on a curveball with the bases loaded and I made the last out. The next game I didn’t get a curveball and hit two homeruns.
That was the first time I got a curveball pitched to me
Hey guys i don’t know how to hit a curve ball lemme show u how to hit a curve ball lmao jk tho he’s great
You couldn't hit it but you gonna teach me to hit it? 😏ok teach on brother 👏

Groundhog ran by at the 2:04 mark.
At 2:00 in the video you can see a turkey in the background

That’s false,you can wait on the breaking pitch without thinking fastball if you play for the Houston Astros 😬😳
Found it. Lol
