Ima see if i cant get something like this for myself in the future. Ive kinda just self taught and done around 150-200 balls a day off the batting tee for the past 2 weeks but my swings improved a lot and i got a compliment from the homeplate umpire on my last game ;)
Sir hey I had commits before, talking about my nephew Jace Hilliard. We are from ElyNv. Your hitting technique is very what I been taught in the 70's. Now being 12yrs old I showed him the power or proper way how to swing ,loading bat path . Now Jace played the all-star games . Was nominated all-american baseball tourney in Sparks Nv. Tony he hit a grand slam to win the game. His team came in 2nd .nobody else hit a granny the whole tourney. I want to say thank you very much ,you brought up points that really helped us put the swing together . Thank you tony ,I'm danny Jackson
Not sure if you read this, but I did a search for "best baseball channels" and you were #1 (after MLB which I don't count). You must be doing something that is getting you noticed. Domingo Ayala was #2.
TH-cam search "best baseball channels" and then Filter just Channels. You're listed #1...I'm down in the 20's I think. I just wanted to see how I ranked. I follow you from my personal account.
Hey Matt, just got to say that your passion for teaching baseball to everyone is just splendid! I've watched a lot of your videos over the years and have told as many people about your vids and that you have really really good baseball content! I'm a big fan of you and please keep it up for the future generations to come! Baseball will become better with your input and fans feedback on future videos!
Matt, You also lengthened his stride, creating more linear momentum going into foot plant. His upper half is also behind his front leg in the "after" clip, adding more leverage.
Matt, Thanks for your response. Have you ever done a analysis of a leg kick/lift vs a more traditional stride - knee cocking or slide step? More ground reaction force with a leg kick?
I like to watch your analyzes . It gives a lot to understand the mechanics. If this is not a secret, tell us in which software application you play several videos at the same time, draw arrows and lines. Thank you for your work.
and how can I know what drills you put him to do, for me to be able to precticate your video opened my mind to improve my swing that is more frightening than that of the red shorts, I would like to learn and practice them thanks greetings to excellent video.
Antonelli Baseball I’ve watched a ton of your vids, if you know which one specifically and can link them here that would be fantastic , if not I’ll go back through them
People talk about timing alot and think its timing with the pitch, but sometimes its timing of the sequence that is off. How would you adjust sequencing for off speed pitches? Like some guys get too out front on a curve and hit all hands. How would you correct this to ensure power without having to guess at pitches? Learn to hit to all frields?
Great video! One of the things my 12 year old struggles with is the lower body “turn in” part of the load phase so as to get her hips in position to fire while still resisting with the upper body to create tension/stretch. Thoughts??
Same w my son. Hands come through way too quickly, and I am trying, trying, trying to get him to keep his hands back longer. Crawling through the vids on this channel to find the drills.
Great video! I'm currently attempting to teach this "resistance" element to my high school fast pitch softball players. Can you tell me what specific drills I can do to get to where you did with the guy who increased his exit velocity by 10mph? I understand the concept, but I need a couple of drills...can you please help me?
When youre resisting and pulling with upper body how much tension is there going to be? I was always under the impression that you want to be as loose as possible.
When coach's say 'stay relaxed', what they mean is 'don't tighten the arm muscles'. Tight muscles are slow muscles. It's not a great tip bc it's not specific, even misleading. Guys tend to 'grab at the top' or 'tighten their grip' on the bat too early in hopes of creating bat speed, but end up slowing down (and swinging down). This gives an arm swing. If you are rotating the triangle (coach Matt video explains) you are removing the arms from the swing and won't really feel a tightness in the arms, but strength, control and consistency coming from the shoulders, torso and legs.
The tension is the twisting between the upper body and the lower... like an action figure. I think you're over doing the tension thing. Relax and be smooth.
Hi Coach' Great vid. I have a quick question, what is the footwork for fielding a groundball for lefty??? Is it left, right then left right and throw. Tell me if it is the same as righty or different.
This is a joke. This guy hitting goes from brutal mechanics to near perfect mechanics off a tee no less in a couple hours. I think this kid could already hit. My man is scheming to get views. Maybe he really did learn that quick though. Who knows.

Your videos have already changed dramatically the way my son hits the baseball. Keep up the great work!
Great video. Helped me understand that the rear leg and hip starts to uncoil slightly ahead of releasing the hands to create more stretch.
Not sure if you read this, but I did a search for "best baseball channels" and you were #1 (after MLB which I don't count). You must be doing something that is getting you noticed. Domingo Ayala was #2.
Awesome! Where did you search that on?

maybe you're best video, hits on so many aspects of the swing
Thank you for sharing this I like that you get very detailed with it !
Awesome video! Great work on the swing, it’s crazy how much change you made in just one day!
Thanks a bunch! Thanks for commenting and watching!
Matt,
You also lengthened his stride, creating more linear momentum going into foot plant. His upper half is also behind his front leg in the "after" clip, adding more leverage.
Yes definitely gave him more of a stride. Thanks for watching!
Matt,
Thanks for your response. Have you ever done a analysis of a leg kick/lift vs a more traditional stride - knee cocking or slide step? More ground reaction force with a leg kick?
Changed from closed to open stance at contact as well.
To bad your not down here in Tampa bay / Sarasota Fl area, would love to have my son take lessons from you buddy , Great stuff !!
Great video!!! Good job coach!!!
Thank you!!!
I like to watch your analyzes
. It gives a lot to understand the mechanics.
If this is not a secret, tell us in which software application you play several videos at the same time, draw arrows and lines.
Thank you for your work.
Thanks!!! Coaches Eye. Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!
Hi, what drills can you recomend to perfect those mechanics?
If you go back through some of our hitting videos we give a few of the drills we use. Thanks for commenting and watching!
and how can I know what drills you put him to do, for me to be able to precticate your video opened my mind to improve my swing that is more frightening than that of the red shorts, I would like to learn and practice them thanks greetings to excellent video.
Just went to hit of a tee and tried this, definitely felt like I was hitting the ball harder
Matt, would love to see which drills you guys worked on those two days! Thanks and advance!
If you check through our hitting videos I've thrown up a few of the drills that we used. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Antonelli Baseball I’ve watched a ton of your vids, if you know which one specifically and can link them here that would be fantastic , if not I’ll go back through them

Thanks!!!
Matt, do you do video analysis/online lessons?
Great video! One of the things my 12 year old struggles with is the lower body “turn in” part of the load phase so as to get her hips in position to fire while still resisting with the upper body to create tension/stretch. Thoughts??
Same w my son. Hands come through way too quickly, and I am trying, trying, trying to get him to keep his hands back longer. Crawling through the vids on this channel to find the drills.
I was just wondering if you drop your back elbow to start the swing or if you use you front shoulder to start it
Ian Fontaine your swing should start with your hips. But between the elbow and shoulder, the elbow should fire first. Watch Justin turner
XxXxXxXx I understand but I want to know about the elbow when you start the upper body swing
It’s the elbow
Any updates on how this player did this year numbers wise? just curious.
He went from hitting pitches okay to only being able to hit off a tee
EdwardCurrent fr?
@@cubes7971 It was a joke
Hey how you’re doing, what were the drills you were talking about in this video ?
Will try to put some up here! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video! I'm currently attempting to teach this "resistance" element to my high school fast pitch softball players. Can you tell me what specific drills I can do to get to where you did with the guy who increased his exit velocity by 10mph? I understand the concept, but I need a couple of drills...can you please help me?
I don't have many of the drills on here. I'll try to get some up here. Thanks for watching!
Do you have any drills for fixing your sequence?
Tons of them. We post some in our hitting playlist and also have a bunch in our hitting course
So do you mean having a larger stride?
When youre resisting and pulling with upper body how much tension is there going to be? I was always under the impression that you want to be as loose as possible.
There is some tension in the body, but you are still relaxed if that makes sense. Just enough to hold the upper body back.
Antonelli Baseball what about lower half and legs? Do you consciously think about being as loose as possible with whole body?
When coach's say 'stay relaxed', what they mean is 'don't tighten the arm muscles'. Tight muscles are slow muscles. It's not a great tip bc it's not specific, even misleading. Guys tend to 'grab at the top' or 'tighten their grip' on the bat too early in hopes of creating bat speed, but end up slowing down (and swinging down). This gives an arm swing. If you are rotating the triangle (coach Matt video explains) you are removing the arms from the swing and won't really feel a tightness in the arms, but strength, control and consistency coming from the shoulders, torso and legs.
so is there tension in shoulders torso and legs? or are we trying to be loose as possible from head to toe?
The tension is the twisting between the upper body and the lower... like an action figure. I think you're over doing the tension thing. Relax and be smooth.
Hi Coach'
Great vid. I have a quick question, what is the footwork for fielding a groundball for lefty??? Is it left, right then left right and throw. Tell me if it is the same as righty or different.
Yes it is the exact opposite of a righty. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Lower half leads the upper half. Ted williams “ hips lead the hands”
Please just get to the point
sketchin72 instagram is better for that. Trying to get into details here
