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.
@@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 ⚾️
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!
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!
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! 👍
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
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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)?
Another good point to make is that during the load, there should be a 10 to 15 degree spine angle toward the plate bent at waist which is what Justin has here. This creates the rotational axis that gets the bat on upward plane at a slight up angle to match the downward moving ball. If you had a straight up and down spine during load then the swing plane will be level, not up.
really because you literally just said the ball is coming downward so it would only make sense to swing up because the ball isn't coming to you perfectly straight. Also everyone in the comments is ignorant. The MLB is focusing on power right now so why would you swing down or level to get the ball in the air? You swing UP to create power along with turning you upper body back to create tension and have a more explosive move to the ball you also have to have the right sequencing and separation between you hips and upper body
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.
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!
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
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
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.
@@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.
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
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?
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.
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 🤙🏽
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
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
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.
Appreciate the video. I'm 27 and have been coaching my lil sisters softball team the last couple months. It reignited my love for baseball. I only played in middle school 3 years but I made the all star teams every year and was naturally good imo. I never had formal training or anything. I plan on joining some sort of rec league and playing again after I lift and get back to hitting and fielding. Any tips?
Milo Kalliwart same bro I’ve been back in it but I’m not getting the results I want ya know like back then I was one of the best on the team but now I’m like the worst and I’m getting pissed and keep doing even worse instead of improving but hopefully this helps. Good luck to you man
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.
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 question! That just means separation from your upper and lower body. The more "separation" you can get, the more bat speed you'll be able to generate. Think about a rubber band. The further you stretch a rubber band, the more energy is built up. It's the same with hitting!
I’m 41 and just now deciding to learn baseball. I’m a natural athlete; just could never join a team or practice. I am half a step ahead of my family and want to teach true fundamentals so I greatly appreciate your teaching - means a lot to my family. I wish you all true joy as you remember this is fun.
I’m 11 and just got into playing baseball. I have a lot of catching up to do to be at the same level as other kids my age. These videos really do help!! Keep up the great work!!
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.
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!
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'm glad to hear that, Natalie! Thanks for watching! I always teach to "hit the ball where it's pitched." I don't recommend trying to aim or place your hits, unless you're trying to do a specific job like a hit and run or sac fly. But generally speaking, if it's an inside pitch - pull it. If it's a middle pitch - hit it up the middle. If it's an away pitch - hit it oppo.
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
I hope this is worth it, I really want to get into other sports like basketball and baseball, As A football player baseball did quite look fun last mlb season.
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 😂😂😂
It's obvious that you have hitting down beyond the basics. You've broken it down to a science and in great detail. The only recommendation I have is to make it a bit more concise as the video was a bit long. As a beginner, I would have like to see numbered steps. In each step, there would be a what to do with a green check mark then maybe a split screen of a red x of what NOT to do. So happy that you wore a lav mic even though it cut out once in a while. It still sounds better than NOT using one and it is very clear and easy to understand you. 113K subscribed? I'm surprised that it isn't close to at least 300 or 500K. I love your channel and hope for nothing but the best for it. You have my support.
Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to incorporate that into future videos. We're growing slowly but surely. Hopefully we'll be at 300-500k in no time! I really appreciate the continued support!
Thank you for a nice video and a video i suggested do you think you could do a giveaway with no social media becaus ei dont have any i really dont have enough money to get baseball stuff thank you keep up the good work
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!
I use your videos to help the kids on our 10u team! Great job explaining things multiple times. Like I said, 10u, some attention spans need multiple explanations! Thanks for the good work. Maybe you could do one on lead offs after every pitch.
Thank you so much! I will definitely do more videos on leading off. In the meantime, I think you'll find this one very helpful: th-cam.com/video/yHhqjPTkLeE/w-d-xo.html
I had a coach tell me keep the small knuckles aligned.. Not to teach the palm up palm down.that its a stronger grip when small knuckles aligned. Your thoughts?
Hey man, absolutely love your videos! Do you have any more beginner videos? Like for pitching and infield? If not, maybe you could do a series on that, and make a beginner's playlist. I bet there would be a lot of interest!
Awesome Aaron! So glad to hear you're enjoying the videos! I try to keep most of my videos "beginner friendly," but I like that playlist idea! I'll be sure to make more of them soon.
Looking to start playing Baseball - it isn't a big sport over here (UK) so never got to play in school. I have mild arthritis in my hands, is baseball likely to make this worse? I can lift weights etc with weight gloves with little issue, are there 'thicker' style batting gloves that people can recommend?
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)
This is the real skill your the best teacher in the frickin world you taught me so much that you inspired me to play baseball thanks xoxo kiss I love 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
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.
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
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?
You are a magnificent instructor for how to hit the baseball. I really appreciate you making of this video- THANKS A BUNCH!
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.
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 🤙🏽
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're a hell of a great teacher/coach. Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much Don, I appreciate that!!
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
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.
Appreciate the video. I'm 27 and have been coaching my lil sisters softball team the last couple months. It reignited my love for baseball. I only played in middle school 3 years but I made the all star teams every year and was naturally good imo. I never had formal training or anything.
I plan on joining some sort of rec league and playing again after I lift and get back to hitting and fielding. Any tips?
Thank you so much, I've been wanting to start playing again but I havnt touched a bat since elementary so this really helps to refresh
Milo Kalliwart same bro I’ve been back in it but I’m not getting the results I want ya know like back then I was one of the best on the team but now I’m like the worst and I’m getting pissed and keep doing even worse instead of improving but hopefully this helps. Good luck to you man
@@legendarycinematics3091 thanks man, same to you, just keep practicing dude, you'll get it
I’m watching this to try improve my golf swing there’s so much good info here
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.
My season ended today. I plan on training the whole offseason to improve next season
Now is the time to get better!
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.
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.
This is an excellent video! Everything is well explained. However, what is meant by "separation" as mentioned @ 8:38 and 8:54?
Great question! That just means separation from your upper and lower body. The more "separation" you can get, the more bat speed you'll be able to generate. Think about a rubber band. The further you stretch a rubber band, the more energy is built up. It's the same with hitting!
I’m 41 and just now deciding to learn baseball. I’m a natural athlete; just could never join a team or practice. I am half a step ahead of my family and want to teach true fundamentals so I greatly appreciate your teaching - means a lot to my family. I wish you all true joy as you remember this is fun.
Great video. I would have liked to see the whole tee during the explanation for the inside/away pitches.
I’m 11 and just got into playing baseball. I have a lot of catching up to do to be at the same level as other kids my age. These videos really do help!! Keep up the great work!!
J Hogg same I’m 14 and my first time playing since T ball and it’s going to be in high school so I have a lot of practice to do
@@PloopPlab same
real good approach for beginners to learn, gives you something to always go back to when needed!!
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.
Thx I just started kid pitch it this was helpful
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that!
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!!
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! :)
Amazing demonstration.
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.
This was super helpful! Thanks kindly. Love your videos.
So glad to hear that, Sarah! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
This videos are super helpful!! Thank you!! Do you have a video explaining how you can "aim" a ball to a certain part of the field?
I'm glad to hear that, Natalie! Thanks for watching! I always teach to "hit the ball where it's pitched." I don't recommend trying to aim or place your hits, unless you're trying to do a specific job like a hit and run or sac fly. But generally speaking, if it's an inside pitch - pull it. If it's a middle pitch - hit it up the middle. If it's an away pitch - hit it oppo.
Ultimate Baseball Training even that is very helpful knowledge! I look forward to more videos!
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
this video was very important, informative, thanks dude
thanks for the tip i will use this in the game
You're welcome!
Thank you coach Justin lot i learnt from this video...big up!!
Awesome Philani! I'm glad to hear that!
Those are great fundamentals about the swing UBT (Ultimate Baseball Training)! Thank you so much for the basics!
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! 🙏🏼
Very Very well done! Great video!
This is really going to approve my swinging thank you
I hope this is worth it, I really want to get into other sports like basketball and baseball, As A football player baseball did quite look fun last mlb season.
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 😂😂😂
It's obvious that you have hitting down beyond the basics. You've broken it down to a science and in great detail. The only recommendation I have is to make it a bit more concise as the video was a bit long. As a beginner, I would have like to see numbered steps. In each step, there would be a what to do with a green check mark then maybe a split screen of a red x of what NOT to do. So happy that you wore a lav mic even though it cut out once in a while. It still sounds better than NOT using one and it is very clear and easy to understand you. 113K subscribed? I'm surprised that it isn't close to at least 300 or 500K. I love your channel and hope for nothing but the best for it. You have my support.
Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to incorporate that into future videos. We're growing slowly but surely. Hopefully we'll be at 300-500k in no time! I really appreciate the continued support!
Great tips. Thank you
Thanks for the support! I appreciate it
Thank you for a nice video and a video i suggested do you think you could do a giveaway with no social media becaus ei dont have any i really dont have enough money to get baseball stuff thank you keep up the good work
You're welcome Brendan! Thank you for the support. You mean a giveaway on TH-cam? What would you like us to giveaway?
You should do baseball cleats or a bat
@@brendanriberdy7639 yeah that's cool I wanna have baseball bat/stuffs too
I’ve never played on a team before and I have tryouts next week. I’ve been training myself a lot lately
How'd it go
It went great and I made the team! There are a few better kids on the team but the coach likes me a lot also.
-Jays_Spaghetti- congrats
Great break down!!!
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!
Thanks for the video! Going to kill it in beer league this summer :D
This is super helpful. Gotta love the internet, man. Keep up the good work!
Keep making these videos they are good. For my grandchild
Playing baseball for the first time as a junior in high school, it is hard starting off with fast pitchers
I use your videos to help the kids on our 10u team! Great job explaining things multiple times. Like I said, 10u, some attention spans need multiple explanations! Thanks for the good work. Maybe you could do one on lead offs after every pitch.
Thank you so much! I will definitely do more videos on leading off. In the meantime, I think you'll find this one very helpful: th-cam.com/video/yHhqjPTkLeE/w-d-xo.html
My dad told me to watch this video as I'm starting baseball this year. Thanks dude.
Well demonstrated!⚾️⚾️⚾️
Great video
I had a coach tell me keep the small knuckles aligned.. Not to teach the palm up palm down.that its a stronger grip when small knuckles aligned. Your thoughts?
He’s wrong
Great tutorial video - thanks for sharing this amazing tips!
Any ways to help keep the eyes on the ball? Especially right before contact?
Hey man, its my first time playing baseball, can you give me some tips on what kind of training I should? Thanks. Really means alot.
thank you for a nice video. this is the best video for beginners like me.
Hey man, absolutely love your videos! Do you have any more beginner videos? Like for pitching and infield? If not, maybe you could do a series on that, and make a beginner's playlist. I bet there would be a lot of interest!
Awesome Aaron! So glad to hear you're enjoying the videos! I try to keep most of my videos "beginner friendly," but I like that playlist idea! I'll be sure to make more of them soon.
I agree with Aaron. I think a "beginner" series of videos would be super helpful.
Ultimate Baseball Training you the man! Looking forward to them.
Looking to start playing Baseball - it isn't a big sport over here (UK) so never got to play in school.
I have mild arthritis in my hands, is baseball likely to make this worse? I can lift weights etc with weight gloves with little issue, are there 'thicker' style batting gloves that people can recommend?
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)
This is the real skill your the best teacher in the frickin world you taught me so much that you inspired me to play baseball thanks xoxo kiss I love you ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
I haven’t played baseball since 4th grade and I’m gonna play for the first time in a few years so thanks for this video(I’m a freshman btw)
You're welcome!!
I haven't played in 3 years and I have tryouts tomorrow.rip :(
