      Thank you Dustin! Most players psych themselves out before hitting. I wanted to help them upstairs. Plus, all the other videos was talking about the basic stuff. Get your foot down early type stuff...which everyone knows.

      Absolutely... Not only say it and believe it... You need to feel it...
      Actually feel it in your mind and body!
      ...Then you're brain, nerves, muscles will make it happen!

    When the team transitioned me from pitcher to catcher, I began picking up the spin on the ball way quicker. It improved my hitting over .100 pts and I hit 13 HRs in 26 games. For the Lafayette bullfrogs

    This is a great video and I appreciate how you included a lot of tips that are mental. As you said, I believe self confidence is very important as well. My mindset is that even before the game starts I have already visualized that I’m gonna do some damage in the box so whenever I do step on that field I will believe that i am the meanest man on it.

      @@JermaineCurtis55 google your favorite hitter and type "grip" next to it. And click images. Every single hitter in the major leagues does not line up their door knuckles despite some of those guys preaching it. Might be one of those "feel vs real" things. I googled mike trout, barey bonds, bryce harper, ted williams, willie mays, jose ramirez." Have yet to find one guy that lines up their door knocking knuckles.

    Do you recommend no stride or a leg kick for fast pitching? I have a big leg kick and I’m trying to get rid of it because of timing issues.

    • @JermaineCurtis55
      @JermaineCurtis55  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I recommend mid, or no, leg kick so you can repeat your swing. Like you said, with a big leg kick, you have to be perfectly on time, or guess right, otherwise, your timing will be off.

    • @jackgalyon5360

    Great video feels like it can help a lot especially if it comes from a former MLB batter. Do you have any advice for still being able too make good contact all by not being able to face real pitching except in games.(our team can only bat against our coach tossing the ball Wich is nothing compared to in-game pitching.)

    • @JermaineCurtis55
      @JermaineCurtis55  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would recommend you do the 2-tee drill to stay on the zone longer. You can watch my Fernando tatis jr that explains it.
      To hit the ball deeper, you could think opposite field or start later so your point of contact could be deeper.

    • @JermaineCurtis55
      @JermaineCurtis55  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can start the box drill at normal distance with speeds at average, or slightly above average. I always used the pitching machine for the box drill, but I did do it with soft toss before. As well as with someone throwing batting practice. I preferred the machine since I was doing it to slow down the speed of the pitcher and eliminate any movements that were taken me away from getting barrel to the ball.

    I started baseball at 7th grade and i turned 16 a day ago and throughout that time i always had great defense, range, vision,great awareness of the strike zone. But the problem i have had is putting good contact if not at all i will have problems where I can’t barrel the ball without hitting a weak dribbler for a hit. I know i have power i just have mechanical problems that prevent me from doing that. I failed to make my freshman and jv team throughout my time in high school and it’s not looking promising. I need criticism.

      Could be a lot of things but without seeing your swing, a few things that pop in my head are;
      - slow batspeed
      - point of contact more out front
      - not getting extended through baseball.
      If you start doing these 3 things, I'm sure you will start hitting more extra base hits.

    A lot of great info here so I have a couple of comments ok first of all 1960 was my father's last year in pro ball it's a long story but he quit was ready to change his life and raise us 4 kids but ended up the very end of the season back in the California league where he faced a guy named Steve dowlkoski Earl weaver said his fast ball more than Ryan or Chapman ok so that day he walked 17 and struck out 17 my dad faced him 7 times walked 4 struck out once on a checked swing only breaking ball he saw also hit one420 ft guy took it off the wall and then later on hit a long fly ball to win the game he conjured up mental image of a rattlesnake in front of him and he wanted to chop it's head off he described those bats as the bat getting in the way of the ball also my uncle pitched in softball national championship in 1936 look up ty stoflet he was on that level he would always say if he saw a guy coming up with a baseball swing he knew he had him hitting off high heat if that's what you are looking for it might be better to level off or you could look lower and make him miss with that high heat and come into you of course depends on pitcher and situation as you described starts in the hole be aware also a good life lesson the ball you hit if had been caught it would have been a diving catch right but what impressed me was you had a slight hesitation and then did excellent job of going the other way with power
