Live Q&A - Answering Your Hitting Questions 

Richard, the constant stretch is clutch and your vid a few weeks ago in the hand pause kind of threw me for a loop. Appreciate you speaking on that. So many of my hitters just have a goal to get to a spot with their load. ‘My knob is at the catcher,’ but are literally just chilling there. The constant stretch demands the scap stay in proper position, locking the rear arm into place as they tilt. Huuuuuuge!!!! Appreciate what you do. Hoping to find a way to come see you after your life slows down.

I literally don’t care about baseball at all but I played it when I was younger but I love watching him teach bc it applies to disc golf which I am obsessed with and it ends up being the exact same principles

With 20 (21 years ago) I rekt myself out of baseball with a decent Tendon rupture. Now I am back in the game in first league in an European country. I am now devour all of your content and am super glad gladful about it. GREETINGS ❤

This video is so helpful. Could never figure out why my hands wouldn’t stay back, but your point about the continuous pulling of the leg AND the back really helped things click. Also understanding that rearward snap IS the swing. Almost like you’re slicing the ball upwards with the knob from behind the leg

Genius. The guy is a genius! Once you feel it, you can't deny it!

I'd love to see a breakdown of Ohtani's swing. His "early foot down" seems to go against your theory of lifting the front leg while coiling the back, yet he produces tremendous power. I guess im looking to emulate Ohtanis quiet load while also being able to use your coiling/launch angle approach. Thx in advance

Good for pop ups and strikeouts. And batting .053.

What are the 2 most important takeaways that would apply to a slow pitch swing?

Does it help to have your shoulder way back like Kerry carpenter or what does that do

hey teacherman you use the phrase throw yourself forward as if you are jumping into a lake but pull back to keep your self from falling forward by pulling back so do i use leg to stride myself forward while i am pulling back

Hi sir, I've found a problem when I swing using your method. After the snap I rotate and there is a point when my hands are blocking the view to the ball. This happens mostly for high pitches on the tee. What a I doing wrong for this to happen? Is this a common issue you see with your pupils? I appreciate any thoughts. Thank you for putting your knowledge out there for us and for being brave enough to confront the old hitting methods out there with confidence.

Hitterman, Could you please do a quick video about gripping the bat? My son points his upper hand's thumb upward along the bat and I believe he is losing some power. Your answer would be a blessing...Thank you.

hey rich i got a question regarding no stride HLP should i still have the “going forward” feel? where it feels like there’s a string attached to my nose & pitcher?

Hello teacherman, a swing i like a lot it's the mookie betts swing it's that swing a good swing? What do you think?

Hi sr can you do any clinics ,drills,couching sofball or modified sofball Pitch

Do you think you could translate this motion into improving a disc golf back hand throw? It is a very similar “hit” motion.

Do you do any clinics, drills, coaching for softball?

How does this altered bat path affect contact consistency?

What percentage of your students would you guess just are not going to get your swing? In other words, when to stop, they’re just not going to get it?

I’d love to interview you sir.. how do I get in touch?

I find it difficult to keep both your hands on the bat throughout the whole swing with your method. Why?

Hi coach not knocking any company but do you think cam wood bat helps my grandson doing your drills

You say tilt and snap simultaneously but then say Matt Carpenter snaps after he tilts.

Can you get a better camera?

Why not start the bat position with knob pointing to pitcher initially And not have to snap

A++++

Nothing says batting coach like jeans and a tucked in polo shirt.
