In this video I talk about how to make better contact when hitting a baseball. Contact is very important in hitting. When everyone is concerned with bat speed and power, sometimes contact and bat control get over looked. But in this video I share with you a few tips on how to make better contact by tracking drills, timing drills, how to see the baseball the best way by using soft focus and hard focus, training small, training strong, and swinging wood baseball bats. If you follow these hitting drills and hitting tips you will be able to have better bat control and make better contact the next time you get up to bat!

Big proponent of the skinny bat small ball drill. I've been using that for years, the gimmick and competition of of it catches the attention of the young players. a twist I use to add pressure, fun and competitiveness is a different colored "money ball". If they hit 4 in a row they get a money ball, if they hit it I do 5 push ups, if they miss it they do 5 push ups. Either way it's fun and 1 of us gets stronger. Kids love making old coach push.

@physicalgrafitti4684 5 лет назад

A way to also help is getting a Traffic cone instead of a tee because a traffic cone is more sturdy and is heavier so if you want to do more than just hit the ball hit the cone it helps with arm strength

Again, Love it! My brother and I do something similar with the practicing small. In Ted Williams' book, the science of hitting, he talks about how he used to hit acorns and kernels or corn, we use marshmallows but same effect. Once we can square up a marshmallow, a baseball looks like beach ball! Keep it coming Coach!!

Minute 2:00 Excellent dictation of how to observe any sport. I just told some people this; where as you’re not really focusing on the object in front of you, rather, you are seeing the whole picture from a panoramic view and then you close into focus! I play soccer, and do that! But, I’ve noticed when in the batting cages, that I hit more when I do what you hit said!

@jakedearmitt7379 7 лет назад

People who teach hitting can make can make the process very complicated. John Madden keeps it simple. To me, the most important aspect of hitting is seeing the ball. If you can see the ball and study the ball and concentrate on the ball, then you can hit the ball. John tells you to start with a wide focus and then narrow your focus on the ball, as the pitcher starts his delivery. In my opinion, this is most important. Even if you don't have Mike Trout's swing, if you concentrate on seeing the ball better, you will consistently hit the ball. Great job Coach Madden.

Great info John. This is exactly what I am trying to teach my young players. They get so focused on the pitcher they only make guess swings. What is a good drill to keep their focus on the ball and not the pitcher besides what you said in the video? Also...what do you think of the AXE bat?

@YouGoPro 7 лет назад

Hello John I liked your video. I love baseball and my son also. Unfortunately my right shoulder is shot until I finally give in to a surgery. But your tips are greatly appreciated since I don't need a good arm to give this training to my son. Its school vacation here in Massachusetts so I really want to bring him to some outdoor batting cages about 35 mins away. Season starts soon April 29th but our spring has not been good still getting snow and rain so preseason practice are going to be rare. I will try to implement so of your hitting recommendations to help my son and any other team mates who are interested. I not a coach last few years but I love baseball and always let the coach know if I can can help during and practice or games it makes me happy. I can run some stations even if its just loading the tee and giving my best advise on our players swings. or keeping the score board since I go to all games and practice. I have to ask the head coach about the power swings using a heavier ball and hope he let me intergrates some of that. Cheers Michael

My son is a heck of a pitcher and at home he smashes during practice but sometimes at home and during games he forgets to stare at the pitchingbhand and ball (hard focus) He’s only ten and the last couple of years he was a clutch hitter and he still gets a hit a game but he’s lost power and consistency. Is that common with ten year olds?

@gotch7126 6 лет назад

My son went from hitting the ball all over the field in the fall to ..not even making contact... I’m no pro but I think he’s dragging the bat barrel.. any drills out there to fix this?

You should start an AAU program. All of the information in your video's checks out. You start applying this to good talent and when those kids succeed, you'll have yourself a successful business. People will be calling everyday to try to get there kid into your program. You can't make it about money though because it will come and go like every other AAU program. If you make it about the kids success the money will come flowing in and for a longer time then most programs.

How can I improve my form because mines is ugly

@wyattspop 6 лет назад

I need help please. I started teaching my son way too late due to a major spinal injury I had (years of recovery). My son is 12 and is just learning to play. I will tell you my son is as big as a stocky 15 year old, he's a tank. Forearms as wide as mine (I'm 5'1" 165 lbs, he's already 5'5" 130 lbs. His "natural" swing is just ugly, 1) He swings downward, 2) He doesn't use his arms or wrists at all, it's like he's twisting his body on a pivot to hit the ball, he looks "robotic", generates zero bat speed 3) Even when he accidentally gets a clean hit and squares one up, it never goes farther than the pitchers mound (and I'm about 30 feet away) and his hits never go more than 8 feet off the ground. 4) When I show him a proper hitting technique, he instantly swings the way I just desribed. I was an All Star, easily could have played college ball, I could hit the ball a mile even with my small frame. I'm a patient teacher but I'm not doing well with him, any tips to teach my son to swing with his arms, not twisting his body to swing? I'll end this by saying he already loves the game, he wants to do well so I'm not forcing it on him. I have taken him to the cages a few times. We will be playing softball for now as they're doing this daily in his gym class. Thanks for taking the time to help a disabled dad (I didn't recover from my injuries, but I'll "play" through the pain just to teach him. He should hit the ball a ton with his natural build. God Bless.

I know I'm a bit late to the video, but wanted to chime in that the most successful way to make contact every time is to have a camera in center field reading the catcher's signs and someone in the dugout to bang trashcans to inform of the pitch about to come.
