Ive literally never had a proper coach dude i really need this
Awesome good luck! Thanks for watching!!
Right now my timing on pitchers is super early right now and I’m rolling everything over hopefully this helps thank you
Same
Excellent tips. I tell my son exactly all this stuff - start doing your homework all the way back from the dugout. If you're batting 6th in the lineup, you should have a profile on the pitcher by that time.
Absolutely!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love this video. This is something i always did on the deck circle and now i don’t see it anymore. Great stuff. I’m hooked. It’s the small things that make a difference.
Good stuff. Thank you. My Varsity players times prior to AB. But, taking first pitch is so psychological for some players.
Great in depth analysis of getting ready with timing. So critical, also the approach to batting and being in hitter's counts as well is huge.
Thanks a bunch! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video, thanks for sharing
i used to never swing at first pitch, and though i was playing in 11u, it still affected me heavily. this changed my stats a lot! thanks!
I love the hitting tips, thanks Matt
Thanks for watching!!
Good stuff coach
Excellent Tips
Thanks I need this to improve
I really appreciate this video
Timing is not something you can perfectly anticipate. It’s all about BEING READY, hands back, and simply trust your hands. As far as not swinging at 0-0 pitches, that’s often the best pitch you’ll get. LOL
Great video Matt
Thanks!!!
Any drills you can practice to help with timing when you are not in the or at a game?
I needed this video
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Antonelli Bas. eball
Baseball coach: Sam, time the pitcher- don’t use that donut.
Me: but Coach Antonelli doesn’t mind!
When I played back in 7th and 8th grade (most recently), a lot of guys didn't throw that hard really. So what I would do is go to the cage and hit 80. It got easier the more I did it and it helped me a bit with timing. The only problem is I probably wasn't playing enough to adjust and wait back on those pitches from guys who didn't throw hard and off speed pitches from the guys who were more experienced and could control the ball instead of just throwing it. I also want to note that after doing this in the cages the velocity of even guys that throw "hard" at that level seems much slower. By the way this is a tip for more younger players cause I can almost guarantee if you throw an 80 mph fastball high in the zone when you are older it isn't going to end well.
I love this video
In order to be able to dance with the pitcher, what exactly are you watching, his entire body, his arm, and at what specific point do you decide to start your coil? What exactly are you cuing on?
Steve Terry
Dancing with the pitcher makes a huge difference
Do you have a video on adjusting to the off speed pitch? I can tell you both my boys hitting improved greatly last year when they spent their time on deck getting their timing. I think it also had the added advantage that they went up to the plate more confident because while working on their timing they visualized themselves getting a hit as if it was a foregone conclusion.
Part of adjusting to the offspeed pitch is being able to recognize different grips and release points out of the pitcher's hand. Very difficult to do at a young age, but the best way to practice that is just exposing your kids to different pitches and speeds.
I believe I do, but I can try to make another one. Thanks for watching!
Tanks
this helps
Omfg, the donut part, that is half our team, so funny
I’m always late and I hit the ball to 1st base a lot and I struggle with inside pitches
What would you recommend for a player that consistently hits off to the left and fouls? What’s a good drill to help them straighten that out?
Right handed batter by the way.
good advice, I remember a pitcher that actually threw at an on deck hitter that was doing that, cant remember who, Clemens maybe
Haha awesome!
It was actually Ben Christensen...high draft pick out of Wichita state I believe-for the Cubs. He actually hit the kid and permanently injured his eye sight in one eye. I know I’m weird for remembering that, but I’m a cubs fan and was really hoping I never had to root for him. He got close, but never made it
Tony Gwynn one of the greatest hitters never swang first pitch and in 0-2 count avg was amaizing and with 2 strikes avg .302
He was pretty good!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
He’s talking about just in general, Tony Gwynn was a different type of breed in the game of baseball, insanely good
Funny you mention that bat donuts slow your swing down at 2:09. I've been telling people this for years and they look at me like I have horns coming out of my head. My kids always used their game bat to warm up without a donut.
Haha!
What drills or advice do you recommend to help youth kids gain confidence for timing? I have a couple relying on arm swinging.
Hey matt I have an injured shoulder and elbow and I'm currently in physical therapy. Is there anything I can be Doing to get better while I'm recovering?
jakethesnake68 that was an awful swing
If you can't do anything physically, I think the best thing is to study swings, mlb hitters and your own. Thanks for watching and good luck!
watch how big leaguers swing the bat, i.e. cano, miggy, trout etc.
If you're a pitcher then i think you should really learn how to make sure your injuries have healed up completely before pitching again.
Hey, when u said swing hard on donut decrease the bat speed, u got reference?
Not on me but I've seen a bunch of studies on it. Thanks for watching!
How can I apply this same philosophy to when a pitcher throws an offspeed pitch such as a curveball? How do I stay behind the ball, still being able to drive it, while also being on time?
I'll make a video for you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great
Weird.... I never swung at first pitch either in HS and rarely prior to 1st strike, either. And 3-1 was a “only a perfect pitch“ count.
I bet we heard the same person somewhere say that was a good way to approach an at bat back in the day.
Matt, I'm a back catcher. I don't know if you were played back catcher but is their any tips for me?
We have a bunch of catching tips if you want to check them out. Thanks for watching!!
What's your approach when batting, like what kind of pitches do you expect in certain counts?
If you go back we have some videos on approaches with counts and stuff. I'll make another video also. Thanks for watching!!
Antonelli Baseball thanks, great videos, very helpful
Can u make a video about the differences between baseball and softball?
I did make some videos on the differences in swings if you go back and check. Thanks for watching!!
@7:20 Mike Trout rarely swings at first pitch but he is a freak.............
I feel like probably at least 70% of the time I swing at the first pitch. I find the best pitch to get in an at bat is on 0-0 because the pitcher usually assumes your timing isn’t adjusted yet so they throw it right over the plate.
For sure need to be ready from the first pitch. Thanks for commenting and watching!
True I do the same thing
My question is what if I don't have a high leg stride like you demonstrated? I have a stride where I load and put my front foot on the ground (tap) then when the pitch is coming I stride forward so is that me just having a stride where I can time it because of my tap or what?
Everyone's stride is different, so you just need to figure out the timing for your particular stride. Thanks for watching!!
absolutely! thank you for the amazing information videos! Any chance of an outfield tip video?
In high school, Matt only swung the bat on 1-1 counts, from right-handed pitchers, under 5'11", throwing more than 84.7 MPH, on Tuesdays, if the temperature was above 71 degrees, and he ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch that day.
Any tips on getting recruited
Can you link that tee please?! Thanks
It should be in the description box I believe. Thanks for watching!!
Very good video, I am a leadoff guy and apparently messed up in the head too 🤪
Cab you talk about how a knuckleball pitcher can mess up a hitter's timing?
Can you do a video on how to field first base thanks
I have a few videos on that if you go through and check. Thanks for watching!!
Antonelli Baseball Thank you for the help
Pitching
Explain what your watching about the pitcher that your basing your time on. Is it his landing....his front leg ? What are you zoning in on ?
I'm not really watching a specific body part. It's basically the whole body and the tempo they move at into ball release. Then I go to the release point. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Antonelli Baseball Awesome ! Your channel should be a must watch and subscribe to all ballplayers from little league to the pros. Great insight !
Nice tips but what if I bat but I never get loose enough to hit
Get loose before the game
Can you make a video for foot work for second basemen on turning a 4-6-3?
thank sr i am indain
Search NOONER HITS... good stuff
Great videos, I play little league, so it's very helpful!
Thanks! Good luck to you!!!
Can you do a video if mlb players get blisters and what happens if they do
Please do this!
hey look its Mike Trout !
Mike Trout don't be a puss and ya won't get em aye
Sure thing I'll put something together for you. Thanks for watching!!
I'm just wondering... if you are really Trout, can you tell me in 10 words or less about how to get your timing?
Tips to improve your timing aside. Mayweather or Mcgregor?
I went with Mayweather
How many pitchers does a team carry on the 25 man roster?
Usually 12 or 13. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey no dislikes nice job
Thanks! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi matt
Hi!
Can you do a video on what happens if you extend your arm while throwing over not extending your arm?
Sure thing!
He sounds just like Howard Stern. I'm sure he's heard this a million times.
Really? I actually haven’t heard that before. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I never played all throughout school, and my dumbass thought it would be fun to jump in a batting cage set to 65mph.
First time? One decent hit. "Well THAT sucked!"
After watching this though, I tried again and hit one really well, and 4 others were grounders while all but 3 were foul balls. "All right, maybe next time use a tee first to get fundamentals warmed up and THEN try like a 55 machine and work up to 65"
First view 2nd comment
Who's watching the fight
Me!
@Kaitlyn Graves I think he meant the lp+ksi fight
Where is the video 📹
Im 21
1
Did you know your in mlb 09 the show
hahaha yes
I like swinging with a donut because when I get in the box and swing I feel like I'm swinging a toothpick. Feels way more comfortable for me.
Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching!!
I like it...but I waited 8 minutes for you to hit that damn ball off the tee and you never did! haha! Baseballs were made to be crushed....crush it!
haha I didn't want to break my camera lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you watch mark texeira he never swung at first pitch
Interesting! Thanks for watching!!
This works well but then I saw this pitcher who kept his knee up for 5 seconds then 3 then 7 than 4 etc.
Alex Jacques no pitcher would keep up his knee for 7 seconds because runners would steal too easily
No I mean when there were no runners on
Yikes a Clayton Kershaw
MATT PLEASE WATCH MY RECRUITMENT VIDEO AND GIVE ME A YES NO ANSWER AS TO WHETHER I SHOULD PURSUE COLLEGE BASEBALL OR NOT
Your swing looks pretty good. Might as well go for it! Thanks for watching!!
You sound just like Howard Stern!
you can time me up like that if you like... just expect get one under your chin when you step in the box..you right you wont have to worry about timing anymore
holy shit the earrape intro
Why would mlb players use donuts if they slow your bat speed down?
I think it's just something they have used for years and years and years. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think what he said was great maybe just show the lefties how to do the same thing
Lol you're a weirdo dude (in a good way). Those high school stats about never swinging at certain times are incredible.
Less talking more demonstrations
Thanks! Good luck to you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and defeated death and rose from it three days later spread the gospel I am not forcing you but I don’t want you guys to go to hell please do this
You CAN'T teach timing from a tee. You are completely lost. There is a dance but you're stepping on your partner. Geezzzz. This is sad
The tee has nothing to do with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Boring........
Sorry it didn't help you out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
