This guy is spot on with every video. I’ve played ball my entire life but never had a decent coach that taught me the fundamentals. Now at 40 I’m dedicated to teaching my 11 year old the fundamentals of the game and all these videos are awesome. Thank you coach Justin for helping me and my boy better our game!

I am starting my first season in high school and need to up my game, this video helped!

Coach Justin = Coolest Coach Ever!

I'm a 15 year old guy that's never really cared about baseball before, I played in Little League when I was 7 or so but nothing since then. Your videos have been really helpful to get into the game, thank you!

Coach Justin is spot on.... it saves me time in practice. I require my players to watch a video each week prior to practice. GREAT INSTRUCTOR!

My baseball game is coming up soon and I’m really bad at reading and catching fly balls so this has helped me a lot thank you

The most underrated channel on youtube. Love ur videos coach

Your videos have been a huge help I missed my first season and a half of hs with an acl and these videos have helped me with learning a lot of what they coached in the offseason and get back to my normal self in the outfield

Thanks! I was watching this 10 minutes before I had to go for the game, and used these, and I was doing really good!

Thank you! I haven't played baseball since coach pitched in little league rec. I am finding your videos to be very instructional and helpful and am trying out for my high school's jv team as a sophomore. I hope I make it lol

Never realized there was that much to consider but wow! Great tutorial for kids starting to get serious about baseball, and for older kids who need to focus more on fundamentals. Was not expecting this video to be that much info. Great job, coach!

Thanks this really helped me out

I love your videos my dad just sends me tons of them while I’m at school and I heave to watch all of the like 20 videos when I get home😂. Thanks for the amazing videos keep up the good work!

Thank you so much I just started my first time on a team this video really helped. I like you a channel it is amazing you help me hit harder and catch fly balls I have subscribed and liked your videos that I have watched. Thank you so much

Love your videos use it to teach my little league teams and my son and he has made great strides in his game 💪🏽⚾️

Great video. Thanks.

I don't comment on many videos on RU-vid, but this one was great and I felt like it at least deserved some of my time to comment (for whatever my time is worth). As an outfielder of 20+years, I thought I knew it all, but felt like RU-vid would have something to offer, and you didn't disappoint. Much of what you said I already do, whether just by intuition or with purpose, so I can attest to its validity, but I've never had it so clearly articulated and presented in a way that will help me communicate this to others. So thank you for creating this video. I also learned some things I didn't know, so I'm doubly excited about that. Your drill looks really fun too. We will try it at my daughter's next practice for sure. Thanks again,

thankyou!

Nice way to learn for all

thanks helpfull

Awesome video! Wish I had this as a kid. Can't stress enough how important the drop step is in the outfield. Never go forward unless you know for sure it's a shallow flyball! Like Coach Justin said, if you nail that drop step and get to the spot of the ball quickly, you've won half the battle.

Can you make a video showing drills I can do at home for shortstops.

Tak you

Great video

Hi Justin can you make a video to help me with my son on coming in for a fly ball that's hit short? My son got hit in the mouth by a fly ball that bounced that he was just short of catching. and it's left him scared to break for the ball and I'm at a loss for a proper technique to help him.

He gives a good example

Thank you for doing all these videos I just started my first travel season and this definitely helps me out

thx bro ur probs the best coach and most helpful

Hey Coach Justin! Once again, sweet video. Can you try to make a video on drills that we can do by ourselves? My parents are working and I am alone at home a lot. Also, I need to work on squaring up the ball and making contact on the sweet spot. That would also be a great video. No rush but those would be very helpful because you are such a great coach and baseball player. Thanks, Coach!

This might help my tennis game on the vale is it basically just looking at where the ball should be, you know I'm still watching our movements and bracket Loomis this contract the ball that way better come into my racket

cool dance moves. Drop step!

Thank you 😊 I'm not that good at baseball so yeah thank you

Nice glove!

I'm coaching 9 under youth baseball, for my stepson and I've been using these videos for the practice, I'm new at coaching so I'm looking for advice

I’m 57. When I was in little league, fly balls were something that I struggled with. My dad just kept telling me to “get under it”. Nothing clicked until just now after watching this video. I suppose it’s too late for my little league career but at least I have a better understanding of it.

This is the best baseball Chanel on RU-vid!!!

So helpful!

Great tips ! thank a lot !

Bigfoot makes an appearance at 5:45

Nice video coach Justin I will use these key tips

Is that a Big Foot sighting in the background at 5:48 minute mark?

Can you do a video on how to work on pitching accuracy

I see that picks up a lot of momentum on your throw that baseball

Great video.

Yeah momentum's what you do when you come up that check step when you're coming into Vale want to keep that forward momentum going when you're going to Bali

Hi Coach Justin, my girl who's a lefty has just started playing baseball in elementary school. I'm also new to baseball. I would like to ask you if these tips apply to lefty outfielder? Do you have video on teaching tips for lefty outfielder? Thank you!

I like this vid keep it up

I just got into an old gu6s softball league. Growing up nobody taught me any of these tgings and I played outfield for like 10 years

Nice vid

Back but yeah that makes sense same as if I'm coming in to do a half-volley or Vale situation just go right to where I'm going to make contact with that ball no cut it a 45° to look for that ball right where I want to take it so I can buy it right in the corner and Tennis so it's the same thing no wasted movements first when you're going back to hit the overhead the same as you're going back to get that fly ball over your head and it's better just to hurry up and get right to the exact location instead of just drifted out there so tennis and baseball you'll be amazed at how they're the same where you're going to catch that baseball just like you're catching the catcher's mitt that's how you're supposed to be a lot of people if you can recognize this similarity between baseball and Tennis venue tennis cable improve

I have been playing baseball four years

I have a friend named joe and he can catch the ball but he can’t really throw the ball to get the out any tips on how to get the ball farther he plays left field

nice vid

I love the defensive videos nice job

O and what bat do you think I should buy for travel ball in you opinion

That's kind of the way I move when I go back to hit a overhead antennas

Ya Wanna catch the ball just like I'm going to catch up volley in tennis at some trying to emulate that so I'm looking at a baseball player because I want to emulate that catching movement for the best followers have that ability to catch it like a baseball player that got to let the tennis ball fall into the net

Rip to all the people who were sent this video

I used to just back up backward so I could catch the ball but that messed me up. I now run backward so I can catch it.

My dad has always said two hands and then when I’m in a scrimmage a fly ball is hit to me and I dropped it and when the inning was over my dad said what did you do wrong so I said two hands so now I use two hands

Coah Justin I got a question do you play or are you going to play college baseball?

I am in in field

Taco Bell should pay him to do more videos in front of that sign

Im playing baseball

that was great my kid is scared of flies ball.

We played flys up

If your in center and you can’t see over the pitcher where do you look besides the hitbox

my teach a player

Just saw a 2018 OF video and looks like that glove was brand new. It's all haggard now lol. I like it now better.

Do you know where I can buy a cheap net and batting tee?

My man you do such an excellent job could we encourage you to not just tell us what to do, but actually do it with a real live flyball. There’s only so much that you can learn from watching an explanation. We need to see it as well, so do better because you are better.

Why is hand and arm placement important for health?

my kid is 14 and he is now finally listening to me on how to do this, they dont teach the crow hop anymore. its so strange.

Hey coach Justin, I have a kid on my team that looks really like you actually

zach?

7:12 for later

Yeah how you throw the baseball same way I throw my service motion you get all that rotation it's the same thing and that ground force up from the ground or bend my knees straight and rotation the shoulders same thing in the snapping of my wrist is the same is my service and you're the way you throw the baseball are the same and the way you catch the ball with your med the same as I Bolly and the same way your footwork you move back and forth the same way I'm moving my foot working in tennis on the tennis court there's a big similarity between sports but people don't see that

Yo coach Justin love the vids.i just made a baseball team and need some tips of the infield cause that’s where my coach’s put Me and I would really like for a vid about that)(using my moms phone btw)

No le entiendo nada de nada

just put more fly videos of how to catch the baseball

Taco bell in the background

There is no big foot there what are you on

This is my second year

Im outt fieldd

Have you ever try to catch a can of corn? 🌽

Dude you missed a llama and a gold scar

Those mosquitoes tho

This is so bad

You dont catch a fly Ball. A Ball that flies, isnt catchable.
