i once tied a players foot with a rope to the fence across from him. He fell on his butt a few times when trying to swing but eventually, he adjusted his weight transfer and started to hit. Eventually, he went on to be one of the better hitters on his HS team.
Howdy, sir! Quick question. Your videos on balance, drills on not lunging, and drills to coil the back leg would be applicable for fast pitch softball, wouldn’t they? Thanks!
Matt. Great video as always. My son stays on line with his stride during tee work and dry swings but as soon as i throw live BP, he loses his posture and at times steps in the bucket. He masters the drills but loses it during BP and games. Any suggestions in this case? Could this be fear?
My son does the same thing. During practice or coach pitch he's perfect but game situation with kid pitching he's scared and steps in the bucket. If the ball is inside he gets a hit, but half of the time its a called 3rd strike on the outside corner or a ground ball to 2nd.
You go up to the plate with the mindset of hitting line drives back up the middle , to keep from pulling off, keeps you on the ball so you can spray it all over the field and the Homers will come. Way I was taught.
Reference wounded soldiers who have to learn to do something( for ex . ) learn to use other hand - has been shown to take between 5000 - 10,000 reps to learn to change to new behavior.
Would i need to change anything about the drill for a kid (my daughter) who bats with an open stance? she sees the ball insanely well. but the last 2 months shes started stepping in the bucket, and her line drives/HRs have turned into hard grounders. 90% of them find a hole, but were working on getting that straight step back. Thoughts?
I hit better stepping out it’s weird. I step in a don’t hit as good I step out I hit rockets. But I wanna start stepping it to generate more power. I play arch softball tho unfortunately

Thank you! But in the start of the video why was your bat so straight?
Thank you so much
Thanks

Way I was taught.
what do you think about Bellinger's swing?
Hey Matt, is there any drills to do for someone who struggles on transferring thier weight from back to front?
Why do you want to transfer your weight to the front?
You want to keep your weight in the back....don't transfer.

it’s just them stepping out or their rolling over make sure their two motions load and swing if you don’t you’ll roll over and hit hard grounders
I do this on outside pitches for some reason
do you have a video on how not to be scared of getting hit?
Good question! I need to check
My problem comes in the game when I step out. I hit off the tee and bp all the time and I don’t step out. What should I do?
Same with my daughter smh
The thumbnail was my swing my entire life 😂🤠
Did it really hurt you?
@@Zaee20z it hurt me. I could only hit good on inside pitches
The reason why you stride straight after leaning in, because players feel like they're gonna fall over. Which is what they're kinda supposed to feel.
Sound like the last mlb show but still great
I was a "slap hitter" and I did well between short and third with getting straight up just had 0 power 🤷♂️
Unbelievable
My 10 year old does this. This will be super helpful in getting his stride in line to stay square . Thanks Matt!
My 10 yr old does the same. Did you fix the issue? If so what fixed it?
Oh man, Myles Straw could benefit from watching this one! Lol.
I have a bad back step
I know the owner of bonsal bats
Bro I appreciate the explanation but wholy crap you too the scenic route.
Thanks, this is the worst thing about my swing
Hi
Hi
I find it's Not so easy to stride straight! When a nasty curveball is hissing @ ya!!
Teaching kids how to not be the next Jim Thome I see :P
