Wow!!!!!
Moving up on the box and catching the ball out in front has changed everything, my buddy ask why am I hitting scary good all of a sudden.
Thank you for the video 👍
So glad to hear that the vid helped you with your game. Huge thanks again to Brandon for sharing his knowledge with all of us!
I can officially say I can cut the ball now after attempting this swing for about two years once again thank you and Brandon without a doubt the best video on how to cut a ball! 🥎
Traylor is the man!
Absolutely! Great player and super nice guy.
Awesome video!! I just started playing conference softball and coming from a competitive baseball background I thought the transition would be seamless, which is true until you play against real competition. The little things, hitting your pitch, being able to hit a laser through the infield anywhere, are the skills needed to succeed at a level where anyone can hit a HR. Brandon had some awesome tips! Keep the content coming!
Hey Joseph, thanks for watching! Congrats on making it into Conference ball, that's no small accomplishment. Would love to know what you are going to incorporate in your game after watching the video and if there is anything else you want us to cover!
That cut swing is crazy. Great content y'all
It truly is. He is excellent at the cut swing. Stay tuned for next weeks video. He may have a few tips on how to hit the cut swing in the next one! ;)
@@LeagueNightSoftball I would love to see that.
I played Juco with this dude, he could always rake. 🤙
That doesn't surprise us a bit! It would be hard to imagine a time when this guy wasn't destroying balls left and right.
Awesome awesome stuff guys
Thanks! We hope to have more content like this in the future.
Love the swing right there!!!
It's a really good one. Stay tuned next week for even more!
Great advice, especially about hard ground balls through the holes. If you can master that, you’ll be a .700+ hitter
700 is a great goal. I'm always striving to get there. If not easily at 700 then there is still work to be done!
Best content yet! Keep building this channel
Thanks so much! We couldn't do it without all of the viewers and subscribers.
Love the content. This video along with the BP 101 video have provided me with some great practice routines.
Great to hear it! Stay tuned for tomorrows video about learning to cut swing!
Thanks for bringing this content to us . 👍
Thanks for watching! We love making it. Hanging out with Brandon for an afternoon was a lot of fun.
Love the content fellas. Keep it up! See you guys out there! ( Manager of Da Bears)
Thanks again! We'll definitely see you guys out on the fields. We always expect to see you in the final remaining teams every tournament. Love the competition. Keep playing hard and we'll see you soon!
I need one of those B.A. legends jersey! Oakland,Cali native here!
Great video! So glad I found this channel. Definitely a great way to BP!
Thanks Ben! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Great video! Love this one!!
Glad you liked it! Anything in particular you especially liked? Or would like to see more of?
Ya man I love how you let him do his thing. Your questions were great. Everything about it. Anytime you can get high level guys like that on the show you should.
@@luchianocorujo1319 we figure, these guys know what they are doing, we are here to learn. Hoping this is the first of many episodes where we take BP w/ a Conference Player so we can learn from the best in the game!
just picked up a utrip Suncoast and it's NICE so far
For real! We were really surprised to like a bat with such a flexy handle. That flex handle is amazing for cut swings.
I love handles with a lot of flex. I love the tackiness of the barrel the most. My first 240 compression bat that I've picked up
John Williams here to elaborate on what Brandon is saying about moving up and being at the front of the plate it brings the height of the flat pitch up a bit more so it crossing your body more around your waist line or higher rather than at your knees or lower
Hey John! We appreciate you giving us a watch. Thanks for the extra info. If we are ever near each other, we would love to get you on the channel as well. Great start to your season. Keep it up!
@@LeagueNightSoftball anytime my brothers and we will have to set something up I’d be down to take a trip out to the Bay Area you fellas keep up the great work with the channel and your seasons and enjoy the rest of the season
would you still stand there in ASA where it's 6-12 ft and they're throwing with more arc?
@@blacksheepsoftball thats what i was wondering as well. If a pitcher sees me that far up he is going to throw high and deep
Shoot it’s 6-10 when we play ASA but honestly no I scoot back about even with the middle so I still catch it high. And tomahawk the dog out of it lol
It's crazy how high his hands get, almost above his head before he gets to the connected position.
How about cutting to backside? Does that work in the same fashion with catching the ball early? Or do you wait for fb all deep and still cut?
You can definitely cut backside. Basically let the ball travel a bit further but really throw the hands towards the right side. You'll want to do this with pitches a bit outside or you can always line up on the outside line of the batters box to gain that extra space to "meet the ball out front". Essentially the same concept but you are meeting the ball farther back AND also farther outside. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
TY!
I"m going to be teammates with that guy at some point and I hope we are mic'd up! Non stop gold sound bites! Learn alot from the vid and in person #teamcrown
I would pay good money to see that. Get these men some mics!
@@LeagueNightSoftball Next time he umpires, everyone will get a preview
Damn he cutting the fuck out of the ball!! 💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks for watching Dennis! Brandon has a great cut swing, doesn’t he? It was great for us to learn a few things from him. Checkout the cut swing 101 video we just posted for a few of his tips & tricks!
B is a beast
He sure is. That cut swing is a thing of beauty.
What type of bat Brandon Tyler was using at BP can you tell us?
Absolutely! Traylor is using the Suncoast Ruckus 12" barrel with 1/2 oz enload in 27 oz I believe. Fantastic bat for cut swinging!
What balls were being hit? They sound a little mushy. Not that it mattered he was crushing them!
Thanks for watching SoxNation24! We were hitting a combination of Evil BP Rockets (47s) and 44s. It was about 100 degrees out so the balls were mushy in general. Traylor was still doing damage even though the balls weren't that hard!
By any chance do you know if brandon traylor is lining up his knocking knuckles when gripping the bat?
This is gonna help a lot chopping and hitting lasers
It really does. My hitting has improved immensely since we recorded this.
Where do y’all typically BP at? We’re located in the Bay Area and it would be cool to collab one day.
It looks like y'all get out to Gellert a fair amount. Let us know the next time you are heading over and we can see if we are available to join!
A. You're out of the box, doesn't that count as an out in your league?
B. Where's those fields located? Nice looking facility.
For USSSA, which is what Brandon plays primarily, as long as the back foot remains at or behind the front of the plate, and the front foot doesn't step in between the plate and the pitcher, you are ok. You also have to start with both feet in the batter's box. The fields we were practicing at are in Mountain View and were built by Google, so they are extremely nice haha
Smoke
Where can u get a tryout.
I'm not really sure how that works haha! I think it's more of a recruiting process. Best thing to do is play a lot, play well, and be visible!
Hey ur left foot out the box in every cut that's and out lol
Haha for the making of this video, we didn’t strictly abide by the rules
TFTI
You are welcome on the channel any time my dude. Thanks for being on. Swing Suncoast!
U don’t walk in slow pitch softball
During general league play I know many players avoid taking walks and we understand that. However, once you enter into competitive play, taking walks can be essential. Often times, willingness to take a walk is the difference between and great team and a mediocre team.
Pitching is the easiest to hit anywhere .... its a joke
No wonder these conference guys have high stats .. lol
Sounds like you are pretty good! Can't wait to see you play in your first conference tournament!
