If I said it once, I'll say it a thousand times. Your videos are very informative. I like how you thoroughly explain in detail your techniques without forcing it.
out of all the videos online yours are some of the best.. my son is a good player in our local league, but i have trouble helping him much, because i didn't play baseball. i'm learning though.
really excellent, called out things my boy does, swing for fences and spine angle leaning back opens shoulders and head follows. great drills, especially glove on head! thanks
Perfect timing. I struggled this weekend at the plate because i was pulling my head out, looks like that wont be a problem anymore! Thanks as usual and keep the videos coming .
Great video. This is exactly what I needed. I am ten playing up in 11&12 yo baseball, and I am in a slump with pulling my front shoulder/head out. Thank you for the great drills. I will try them everyday.
Thanks for a good video. Lots of good info. I'm coaching LL machine pitch for the first time ever & never coached baseball before. Got a boy that does well on the tee, but with the machine, he ALWAYS swings way under the pitch. Is his problem pulling the shoulder/head out, dropping the back shoulder? I've never heard of this being as significant of a problem as this boy has. Got any thoughts?
Ultimate Baseball Training I just posted a video on my channel of my son in the batting cage. I can see that he’s got a problem with a downward swing plane. Several of the boys on my team have this issue and it’s really limiting the contact. I’m honestly looking for any feedback that I can give them that may help. Thanks a ton!
Darryl Woodhurst I think that I can help you with that. Just have the infielders and outfielders line up in a strait line. Next, they can throw it to one another acting like they are cutting it off. Pretty much a relay.
One of the main causes of pulling the head is because the hitter is early on the timing. Just practice front toss and let the ball get deeper. It takes time but eventually you will improve contact.
Try to have them think about keeping their head between their feet. If you think about this, you literally can't lunge forward if you do it properly. If you lunge, your head will be over your front foot, not centered in the middle. Try that and see if it helps!
BaseballSecrets Thanks so much! When I saw this i noticed this is exactly what i have been doing in my swing. last year i was batting .363 now this year im batting .217 because i have not been thinking positive and my mechanics are off because of it but after watching this video im gonna try it out and see if it helps me out at all
+Michael Bray You need to consciously try to let the ball get deeper. Focus on hitting the ball up the middle or the other way, unless it's an inside pitch. That's the only pitch you should always be pulling!
Pakkun, you might be letting your hands slide forward as your front foot is still finishing the stride (pre-swinging). Try to keep the hands back, knob pointed at the catcher area and get that front foot down. You should begin to drive the ball right up the middle as Michael describes.
