Yes! Closer to the Plate! I have been saying this for years, it allows you full plate coverage and to maintain your swing mechanics without reaching for that outside pitch! Your the best! I always had stressed keeping your head still all the way until contact your hands will move with your head (eyes).Great video!
Do you have any videos correcting bat drag?? My sons developed it this summer. His back elbow is getting in front of his hands and into his belly button well before hip turn. Opposite field power, but also a lot of high pop ups to infield. Thanks, love your videos!
Coach Justin I agree with almost everything in this video. My concern is getting close to the plate at a youth level. I’ve managed 9U and younger rec ball and club ball. I’ve seen numerous kids go to a hitting coach who tells them the same thing. They get into a game and their relationship is so close to the plate that when a fastball is thrown inside they just watch it go past because they’ve been told by crowding the plate will cause younger pitchers to throw outside. They don’t give it a second thought about throwing the knob of the bat at the ball and driving inside pitches. Your advice is not wrong by any means. I hope it doesn’t come across like I’m saying that. It’s just with our youth players out there they need to learn to drive these inside pitches that are strikes. Just my 2 cents.
Nothing against what you said but you said 9u and and lower rec. Once kids get older and they have found the zone they know to swing if they are close to the plate and see and inside pitch they can hit it.
I’m 15 and last year I was one of the best hitters off the team but this year I’ve been striking out or when I do make contact it’s always grounders or pop flies. I only ever get on bag when I walk. My batting average is horrible. It fluctuates from .180-.200. I feel useless and makes me feel terrible when others are hitting doubles and triples while I can’t even hit a single.
Watch The Little League World Series and so many Japanese kids are CLOSE to the plate. Great advice from a man that only struck out three times in 20-years of baseball. Then again, I only had five at bats because I was the stats manager
Ok I struck out once this year out of about 35 games and that’s a lot what I thought and did great video except sadly I had to teach myself that this year
I'm a new High School Ball Player, and I am absolutely terrible. I have already tried your tips for beginners, but I still drop the bat and swing late. How can I get my timing right and focus on bringing the bat level? Thanks!
Do some push ups and body squats and everything else will follow. Oh, and some pull ups too.. Try it for a month and incorporate coach's tips and u will see an improvement...
@@mohammadarbab2801 baseball isn't a power sport..lol. Use ur own body weight in training and use "other" methods to build. But start with the basics.... #calisthenics
I am teaching my son to just forget about balls and strikes. Just find pitches he thinks he can hit, and then swing at them. Let the ump worry about balls and strikes.
One thing that I believe will greatly reduce your chances of striking out...is never wearing shorts when playing or instructing baseball. To paraphrase Crash...when you get to the show you can wear shorts and the press will think you're colorful...but until you get to the show, it means you are a softball player in an industrial league.
