I've just started playing again after a ten year hiatus and your videos are by far the most professional, informative, and useful I've come across. Thanks so much from a renewed lover of the game
Thanks! Now most people watch this for baseball. I watch it to be able to slide like Call Of Duty Ghosts in an airsoft war.
Hahaha thats pretty cool.
Me too I need to know how to slide in airsoft, specifically in speedsoft style
Noah V. Exactly why I came here
Same
i watch this bacuse i wanted to slide anyway
I have a lot of trouble sliding, so I just needed to learn it from the start. I recommend this video to anyone who has trouble sliding.
This usually means your weight is not at a 50/50 balance, you're too hard on one side. Your rear end should be taking the brunt of the friction from the ground, if you're leaning too hard forward and to the side of your tucked knee, the knee contacts the ground and will get an abrasion from the force and power of your body going from full speed into a slide. Let me know if this helps!

This helped me in softball
Same!
i prefer to do a low 360 round house kick slide into a backflip. Works every time.
To not hurt your leg just keep everything solid I have my right leg under and I've been sliding for a long time and I finally perfected the popup slide if you can use cardboard or a tarp in the grass and just go through mechanics
This has helped me a lot all of your vids I've played baseball for 10seasons and I'm one of the best players on my team when my coach does drills I'm always the one who gets picked to diminstrate you're a great player you should keep making vids thank u
I love baseball games
I love baseball games😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🔕🔕🔕🔕🔕🔕🔕🐱🐱🐱🐱
thanks bro :D
I am coaching my daughters team and trying to teach them to slide but I was always taught to keep my upper body down so they couldn't tag you is this something that has changed?
Strikezonefreak, generally your right (or left foot, depending on what's comfortable) will start to come up first as you go down into your slide. You want to imagine your body as an airplane landing when you slide... don't "fall" into it, it will slow you down! Let me know if this helps!
I play on a gravel infield so when I slide I tend to always cut my right knee open (I bend my right leg and keep my left one straight) do you have any suggestions on what I can do so I don't cut my knee or since it's gravel is there not much I can do?
@misskelsie24 Kelsie, if you are sliding directly on your hip then you may be a little off balance! Not a problem though, just be careful when you're going from full speed into a slide and dragging that hand; even if you're trying to hold yourself up, that intense pressure on your wrist can cause an injury if you jam it or place it down the the wrong way. Also, most fielders are taught to catch and bring the tag DOWN, not reach at eye level for your hands. Hope this helps!
See thing is is i use metal cleats and i jst got them and i heard they catch alot easier and if there was a way to slide with certain spike materials.
Run full speed... then think of a plane landing, get that front foot out straight and TUCK THE OTHER LEG underneath. Your rear end should take the brunt of the friction on the ground! Let me know if this helps!

Should your sliding pad go on the leg that bends on the leg that touches the base?
I'm a softball player ⚾️⚾️

If you're bruising your ankle than your weight distribution is off. What part of your ankle is brusing? This will help me determine what you're doing wrong!
-Coach Matty
cool slids
I need to break the habit of sliding on my hip!
How can you slide without hurting the leg you are tucking?
I am playing 11u all stars and I still do not know how.. whenever you slid like that your knee slid across the ground and it always burns when that happens
I just got back from breaking my arm in both bones sliding into second first game of season also first game of the tornament
Hey! me too!!
I hurt myself doing your how to :(
listen.
I was trying the slide at home and i fell and Hit my button XD
im watching this for farcry3
I thought your supposed to have your hands in front of you not up so you don't get tagged on the hand or arm
it depends
+optimusant 7678 It depends on the speed of the pitch that the first baseman is receiving, how far from the base you are, and if the first baseman already has the ball. Oh and trickery
I guessssssssss youre right
Only time you slide into first is when the pitcher is attempting to pick you off at first, but then that is considered a 'dive'.
Should i put all my weight on my butt, because i keep getting like rugburn on my ankle
I'm watching this for parkour.
Damn
didn't slide into seconed and broke my tibual tublicar and severely strained my patellar tendon and strained muscles my whole leg. played through it that hurt so damn bad. I'm 13 btw
I slid into home and broke my tibia and fibula.
Disagree! While I generally have slid head first my entire high school and college career, it's an advanced skill that young kids shouldn't try until they're older. I gotta teach the basics man!
i play pascal
fuck you
shit
fuck
I play for a Team called Pro swing in Colorado lol
Every time I slide, my legs get scraped really bad
Same
He's cute
get thick longs socks and long baseball pants
Advanced tips come with crazy person hair
I don't see how that sliding mat is even good
Boring!!! You slide with your hand with gloves on geez,you don't know that!
rick schramm what happens when you get you hand stepped on and you break a finger because your hands were on the ground?
+Malykia Kyte Thats only if u slide head first... People dont get their hands stepped on when their hands are behind them....
+ExtiinctOfficial Well and it also depends on how you are sliding if your sliding to steal a base or sliding into home.
+Malykia Kyte No one rarely get their hands stepped on when putting hands behind them.... No other basement would just run up and try to step on them...
Lol wdym there come the second basemen jumping up… even though it’s rare it still happens
