As someone who would love to try Baseball, but hasn’t played since Kindergarten, what would be your best advice on catching up to all the other players with more experience? What forms of practice would you recommend not involving a legitimate team so that I could practice before/ in between seasons if I get on some sort of team? As I said, I’d really like to give the game a shot, as I’ve watched for years, and I’m trying to find a sport to put time and effort into to try to get a worthwhile experience. Love the video, and I feel like it’s helping already, but I would love to hear what advice you would have for me if I wanted to work gain experience and attempt at real skill!
My biggest recommendation would be to just get out to the field every single day and work on improving a certain area of your game. There's lots you can do on your own so there's really no excuse. It's not going to be easy and you'll have to put in a lot of hard work, but I think in the end it'll be worth it! I recommend ironing out your swing on the tee as well as getting a friend to do soft toss, front toss, and BP with. If all else fails, take lots of swings off a tee. If you've got a partner you guys can hit each other ground balls and fly balls. If not, you can use a wall. You can also play catch and work your way out to long toss distance. Again, if no partner is there simply get a bucket of balls and throw them into a net or backstop.

I have the same issue
Yah I’m starting to play this year and haven’t played since first grade snd I have a game tonight
@@ICONIC_V1KING nice! More confidence than me haha. I haven't played since 7th grade. I'm 27 now. I just love baseball so fricking much man. Everything about it. Even the practicing. I love the brotherhood all players seem to have.
I play catch pretty much every day (and all my friends get super tired of it lol). I love baseball, it’s probably my favorite sport, and this tutorial was very helpful!
Thanks ⚾️

Bruh this man or coach the best explainer I now see what I'm doing wrong thank you UBT
What the flip beo
Jo don't listen to him ur going to be worng
Love these tips! My son is having a lot of trouble hitting and yet his coach and other coaches agree with his build and athletics, he should be able to kill it. We plan to concentrate on hitting and pitching this summer and can't wait to get started with this on day one. Thanks!
You're welcome! So glad you're enjoying the tips and I hope they help him progress this summer!
Thanks for this video! I’m a father of a 3 & soon to be 5 year old boys. I’ve always been athletic and played sports, soccer and football but NEVER baseball. So here I am!, watching your videos to be able to teach my oldest son how to play baseball! I’ll definitely be watching your videos! 👍
how is it so far? 😁
Thank you so much I’ve never played baseball and I always feel I’m bringing my team down whenever I get out bc I just can’t bat, but after seeing this video I feel as if I can hit a ball now
BRUH/ XD
@@citiesskylinelover801 i became the next barry bonds after this.
I’ve coached baseball and softball for 25 years. I currently softball at the collegiate level. I also work with young hitters. This is the best overall basic hitting video I have ever seen. This coach understand that there can be individual difference with some aspects of hitting and it’s ok. He also does a great job of teaching and keeping it simple! If your looking for a simple effective way to hit this is it! Keep up the good work coach!
Can't tell you how much this improved my daughter's hitting thanks bro!
Super helpful tutorial! Lots of our videos are about specific drills for hitting, but we lack a simple video on the basics. Love to see others teaching the game of baseball and trying to grow the sport.
I'm using my dad's account but since we are gonna hit a few balls I just wanna thank you for this, my baseball season is finna start in one month since its near march.
Great video Bro. Never been big on baseball, but Introducing it to my son it’s his first season at 9years old. I’m now learning all the fundamentals so I can help him with his craft, and this video was as good as it gets with how u break it down. Good job G!
i subscribed last march, it was my first year of baseball and i’d just like to say this channel has helped me a ton in all different aspects of the game
Thanks for being part of the UBT Family! I'm so glad the channel has been helpful for you.
Great job on explaining so many tips. I have watched many of your videos and I would sure like to see another minute or so of YOU actually doing the swing or throw in regular speed and in Slo-mo speed
Played my first winter practice yesterday, absolutely sucked during BP. Really helpful now that I’ve found this.
Great video man. Trying to teach my son a sport I never had the chance to learn or play. Thank you for your knowledge. Much appreciated.
Key points:
- Dance with the pitcher, keep moving
- Load against your back, not over
- Bat a bit over shoulder lenght
- Front shoulder a little down, back shoulder a little up
- Swing starts when heel drops
- Heels drops in front and back heel rises simultaneously
- Stay tight, stay connected for more strenght
- Elbows must stay same distance all through the movement
- Palm up, palm down
- Barrel below bat
since this whole corona virus thing i couldn't play baseball for a little and then heard it was coming back so i practiced more but i wasn't as good anymore but since i watched this video i'm back at where i started and that is best hitter on the team
Good work and demonstration good sir appreciate the help
real good approach for beginners to learn, gives you something to always go back to when needed!!
this is one heck of a tutorial,even after being a baseball fan for years I learned a lot and enjoyed watching this.keep it up please and thank you big time
Fantastic video. Thank you!
Started coaching my nephew recently and coach Justin has been invaluable. Big help. Thanks man.
I'm so glad to hear that Stuart! Thank you!
I stopped playing baseball like 4 years ago so I needed this
Lol, same. I'm trying to get back into it and I needed some relearning.
Hey man great video, love baseball and this was super helpful. I've been thinking of doing something similar to what you're doing, what do you use for recording video and audio?
You've just gained a new subscriber! :)
I have an 8 year-old son who loves baseball and am trying to find ways to help him develop and practice the fundamentals. I just stumbled across your videos and really like your tips and teaching style a lot. Please keep up the good work. You’ve earned a new subscriber!
Thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate it. Welcome to the UBT Family! 🙏🏼
Great video, Im watching with my son, I have never played baseball. We just signed him up for 10u baseball, I appreciate the attention to detail we are learning as we watch. Thanks alot
You are a magnificent instructor for how to hit the baseball. I really appreciate you making of this video- THANKS A BUNCH!
This is maybe the best 17min intro video I have ever seen! My son learned more in 17 min than I’ve been trying to teach all summer!
Dude your videos are the best! i am an 11 year old and I play for my 5th grade team however last year I suffered from an injury ive been having trouble batting lately and its hard getting out all the time because of COVID 19 but this video and your channel really helps me out! Peace
This was super helpful! Thanks kindly. Love your videos.
So glad to hear that, Sarah! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
i love watching these videos even though I don’t play baseball
I appreciate the support Karen!
I STARTED PLAYING BASEBALL YESTERDAY BUT IM STARTING TO UNDERSTAND THE BASIC’S THANKS FOR HELPING PEOPLE KEEP UP THE WORK
Thank you so much for this video I recently made my JV baseball team and I’ve been having trouble trying to get my swing down. It’s not really my strong suit and I’m probably the worst hitter and tomorrow I have practice and I’m gonna have headphones in while I practice at a T and hopefully this is gonna help me because baseball is my favorite sport and I’ve been trying so hard to get on this team and I finally did it and I don’t wanna let my team down. But I know it’s gonna work out so thank you so much in advance you don’t know how much this means to me. Keep up the amazing videos you definitely deserved my sub and like 🤙🏽
Amazing demonstration.
Great break down!!!
this video was very important, informative, thanks dude
Thank you coach Justin lot i learnt from this video...big up!!
Awesome Philani! I'm glad to hear that!
great video! thank you so much!
Those are great fundamentals about the swing UBT (Ultimate Baseball Training)! Thank you so much for the basics!
Playing "Over the Line" at 65 and wasn't getting much power so I looked for "How to hit a baseball." This video made a huge difference and my male teammates noticed a big change. I'm a bigger gal and the only other gal on the team weighs 105 lbs. I told her to check this video out. Thanks!
Very Very well done! Great video!
thank you for a nice video. this is the best video for beginners like me.
Great tutorial video - thanks for sharing this amazing tips!
Well demonstrated!⚾️⚾️⚾️
Gonna try out this year.... Learned alot from this.... Wish me luck😁
WoozY PandorA Well good luck brother 👍👍
This is super helpful. Gotta love the internet, man. Keep up the good work!
Great tips. Thank you
Thanks for the support! I appreciate it
I’m watching this to try improve my golf swing there’s so much good info here
Hey Justin. My 12-yo just started baseball and I'm assistant coaching which is a stretch as I never played a single team sport growing up, just surfed. I'm finding your hitting and throwing mechanics videos super helpful. We've been heading to the field between practices and working on fundamentals. Thank you so much. Looks beautiful where you are. Colorado?
Thank you Justin for your time and videos. I am trying to teach my kids (boys 8 & 9, girl 11) how to hold and swing a bat and I'm so happy I have found your channel. I wanted to know about the back arm(elbow) right handed hitter, does it have to be in a certain position, up, down? Close to body or not? Thanks again.
Really well done man! Nice Job!
You really do make great videos. And I reallly do mean that, I like that you actually explain and talk about it. So much knowledge
Thanks
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for the support! 🙏🏼
Great stuff thanks!
thank you for this lesson
Thank you so much for the help..
This is really going to approve my swinging thank you
I just got into baseball recently at the age of 28, but that ain't stopping me, I'm definitely hitting the batting cages near me after my bat comes in. Maybe I can get my boys to teach me how to throw and maybe learn a pitch or 2.
I play Vintage Base Ball and this definitely helped me out. Great video
I'm going to have my oldest watch this, over and over and over and over and over again!!!! But before I do that I'm going to record him at batting practice so I can then show him what hes doing wrong. Thank you for your videos, they are being put to use.
Great instructor and advice. Thank you sir, definitely subscribing 👍⚾️.
Thank you so much! 👊🏼
Been watching a bunch of your videos to try and hammer things home even did some drills today love the content man(ps I’m 22 and today was the first time I’ve really made contact with a ball)
Thank you a lot it helped me a lot!
This vid helps me a lot thank you
Hey great video thanks coach!
Dude i learned how to swing better on this video than 4 years of high school PE coach. Thank you so much. You got yourself a new sub here with just this video. Awesome explanation bro.
Great video
Thank you for this. My son and I just watched this and did these activities in the house. A few reconnections maybe not talk about all the different hits also would have been great to see a few slow motions of the hit. Slowed down. Good job.
This is gold.
I really appreciate you uploading this video seeing as I'm getting interested in starting to play baseball. I got a bit confused after seeing your batting/hitting playlist and couldn't quite figure out what I should watch/focus on first. Is there a similar type of video focusing on throwing (position player, not pitching)?
Yes! I think this video will really help you out:
th-cam.com/video/-aO9KtcUQCo/w-d-xo.html
I have never gotten past Tee ball I just recently had a desire to go to the batting cages. This is exactly what I needed a lot of stuff on TH-cam seems to be geared towards kids who are already getting coached or know how to play somewhat.
You really helped a lot 👍
hey, I'm new to the sport and i was wondering when is a good time to start swinging when the ball is in the air?
Thanks for the help!
You're welcome, Alec! Thanks for watching!
thanks for the tip i will use this in the game
You're welcome!
Keep making these videos they are good. For my grandchild
Such great pointers!!!

Great video! 👍
Hey Coach Justin, thanks for the video, extremely helpful. As an older beginner, I jumped into an adult league and obviously have a lot to learn. I had a couple of AB and got a single, but my back knee is now bothering me. It hurts to straighten the leg completely. I'm sure I'm missing many of these fundamentals, but are there stretching or dynamic exercises I can do to try to make sure this doesn't happen anymore? Thanks!
Slow motion Explaining The point of interest. Through the batting swing letting the video express through repetition. I really enjoyed all your points of interest
Really good video.
Thanx for help.. . Very owsm😍😍
Awesome content! Always loved baseball, was kinda good at softball but can't hit overhand to save my life! What would you consider to be great resources tools equipment for a novice to get back into baseball. Not trying to be a pro or semi pro just love hand eye coordination sports! Thanks, and I've also subscribed to your channel! Keep up the awesome content!
Bro thank you so much I'm just a beginner trying out for baseball this year these tips are easy to understand and practice a lot to get the contact and positioning
Same bro I’m sophomore and tryna start but never played I’m nervous
Great video. I would have liked to see the whole tee during the explanation for the inside/away pitches.
Very helpful
nicely done
COACH-
You are amazing to watch!
Your knowledge is Impressive, thanks for sharing.
I always learn something new every video, I thought I knew it all already! Wink!
Thank you very much!!
Believe it or not i have come here to help me hit a golf ball better.
As a golf swing has a lot in common with a baseball swing, i find when i use the baseball type of swing when i`m playing golf i hit way longer and straighter.
Thanks for the video it has helped me in my game.
What an amazing revelation this video was. I am 72 years old and have battled a weak golf swing for a number of years now. Most of what has been explained here just makes so much sense and, to my mind (having never played baseball) it seems I can incorporate this swing and have a lot fewer swing thoughts, positions, etc., to worry about. It looks like short load, rotate and “biff”. I’m off to the garage to work on this.
@@127notout The two swings are very similar, i follow i guy called Michael Broderick on you tube and he has helped me alot.
He uses a lot of the baseball swing into his teachings.
paul woolnough Thanks Paul, I’ve found him - here’s hoping!
@@127notout That`s great Alan, i suggest starting with his earlier videos then go through the whole series.
He is about 62 years old and can still hit 340 with driver, in fact one of his videos he hits an 8 iron over 200 ytds.
he has helped my game so much using his technique.
stick with it you wont be sorry.
This was posted 5 years ago and I just learned from it. Great video. Thank you! Never thought I would watch it, thou, in fear of hearing "fundamental" again after the introduction 😂😂😂
This really helped, thx
This video helped me with my bat.
Thanks a lot this helped me a lot and I am now able to hit home runs
great! this will help[ so much for my kid! thank you!
Your videos have been a goldmine for me as a first time coach. If you are open to "requests", I'd love to see a video where you have a young beginner player and are working on establishing a basic swing as a starting point. I find myself struggling to get some of my players to understand even the simplest aspects of the swing, which makes it difficult to have a starting point to fine tune from. I blame myself for not being able to explain what I want from the players in terms they can understand. For example, I had a kid this week, 10 years old, who gets his feet in a square stance, but then has his shoulders turned to where he is facing the pitcher. Of course, this puts his hands way too far forward and makes a decent swing all but impossible. I tried everything I could think of, including physically putting him in the position I wanted, and he immediately goes right back to what he was doing as if he didnt hear me. He is trying his best though, so I don't want to blame him or say he isnt listening. He just isnt getting what I'm explaining. I'd love to see how more experienced coaches approach those situations, how you adjust your verbal explanations, where you choose to put most of your focus, etc. Thanks for the help!
That's a really good idea for a video. I'll try to make that happen in the future. One thing I'd try with that particular kid... I assume he's a right handed hitter... Have him get in the batter's box and tell him, "okay, I want you to pretend you're playing defense in basketball. The point guard is dribbling up the floor and he's right in front of you" (pointing near the on deck circle on the first base side). Tell him to get into an athletic position like he's about to play defense, then simply turn his head towards the pitcher. Whenever he goes back to his old ways, just quickly remind him "Play defense! The point guard is over there." Just a fun thing to try that might help!
Ultimate Baseball Training That's actually a great idea and something I didnt think to try. We practice today so I'll see how it goes. Just the idea of relating baseball to other sports will probably help a few other kids too. It seems like sometimes the more I try to teach "technique", the more mechanical and awkward some of the kids get. I have to work on balancing technical instruction with more of a "just play the game" approach I think. This coaching stuff ain't easy!
@@dfin4588 Another "trick" that has helped me put a kid's bat on the ball, was to have them imagine there is a fork, spike, knife, etc coming out of the bottom of the bat. Thier first job is to try to stab the ball with the spike. This lines the hands up with the ball and in turn lines up the bat.
