Thome and DeRo Fix Lauren Shehadi's Swing 

Lauren: *hits walk off grand slam in game 7 of the world series* Thome: little better!

Just received more coaching here in 5 mins than I ever did growing up through high school ball. Coaching is everything in baseball.

Thome's face was priceless when she lined the inside pitch right up the middle

Man Thome is a hell of a mentor .

This is the best thing ever. I come back to this for soothing. DeRosa and Thome are stoked at what is happening. Not TV stoked, but they are legitimately stoked at seeing this.

Love how she is so excited to be learning and being successful. Thome, DeRo, you guys are the BEST.

This video demonstrates the skill involved in hitting and the hand to eye coordination involved.

After years of watching him play for rival teams, I never knew I was a Thome fan... This guy is awesome!

Shehadi is so cute!! Thome seems like such a cool dude too!

Thome was not only awesome on the field, he was awesome off the field too. he was a true "selfless star." he never missed an opportunity to talk to a kid whom he knew loved him, because he knew that kid would remember that moment for the rest of his life. he treated Indians fans like family and we loved him for it. him and Omar Vizquel were doing pregame warmups before a game and he turned to the crowd when they were done and I miraculously got his attention and he threw it to me. I was about 12 so, needless to say, my dad towered over me. when Thome threw the ball to me my dad naturally caught it not even thinking about. Thome stopped *dead in his tracks* and stared my dad down until he saw him hand me the ball, then went on his way lol then he proceeded to hit 2 HR's and a double that game. somehow once again I miraculously got his attention after the game and he came and signed my ball for me. he actually friggin' remembered throwing the same ball to me before the game, and said he didn't think "the guy next to me"(my dad) was going to give me the ball so he was about to say something to him haha still my prized possession of my entire life, that ball will never leave my family.

Jim, I grew up in Cleveland watching you. I want to thank you for the homeruns you hit and how you carried yourself throughout the years. I couldn’t have asked for a better childhood. As a kid, it was exciting and that’s the way it should have been. Thanks Jim.

Good catch by DeRo telling Lauren to stay square and not shift totally towards the catcher to hit to right center. And good that Lauren made him define “don’t bail out”.

Jim Thome is a genius! Would never have guessed a power hitter would known so much about hitting!

Thome is a great mentor and DeRo is hilarious. Lauren's genuine reactions to their tips working are perfect

Dero was a clubhouse guy. But would step up when needed. You need those kind of guys on championship ballclubs. "DON'T HIT ME." -Jim Thome. Awesome.

The thirst level in the comments is at an all time high

Incredible coaching!!! These guys know hitting!

The knob to the catcher tip is great! plus Shehadi rocks

The science of baseball and hitting is so awesome to watch

Lauren is one of my favorite TV personalities. She is awesome on all the MLB Network shows. And she's an awesome person too.

MLB Network is the ONLY thing I watch on TV you guys are awesome

6:08 “Don’t yell at me”. HE WASN’T YELLING! THIS IS YELLING!!!

Thome is a class act, phenomenal player & great man. The MLB Central cast (DeRo, LS, Roflo) are the best in the business, the most entertaining, influential & educational sports show on television. DeRo is my all time favorite, love the guy. He’s such an incredible baseball mind & great athlete. He was actually a pretty good college QB. Moreover, I have to say how beautiful Lauren is, she was a bombshell at UF. She can model workout attire 🤩🤩😻😻🔥💥❤️😍💕😍🥰. I pray 🙏 that MLB Central is back for the 23 season. Let’s get it Cubs fans!!

I have to admit I tuned in to watch this chick in her tight black outfit ....but I actually learned a good tip or 2 about hitting 😀😀😀

Thome was a beast! I loved watching him homeruns.

Jim Thome needs to be the Texas Rangers hitting coach. He will fix Rougned Odor and Joey Gallo! He’ll have them hitting .300 and not .200

Jim Thome is a class act. Provided very helpful instruction to Lauren without belittling or condescension.

My knob is pointed right now for sure.

I love how serious DeRosa is, "wait, wa-wo-wo-wait, you're cheating...."

Lauren "The Body" Shehadi 👌

God Bless the Yoga Pants. Gods Gift to men.

Such a crush on Lauren 😊.. Nice adjustments to Jim and marks instructions, also you hit the sweet spot on the last hit☺

Wow Jim Thome is a good coach. Shehadi has a nice swing..

Pretty good!

You know Thome want's to stand behind her to teach her how to swing but he's on TV😂

Thome had incredible power to the opposite field. Man when he pulled the ball... no one hit them harder. Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but she is hot as hell.

I love MLB network. Lauren is absolutely precious

I'm in love with this woman, and that last swing looked perfect

de ro comes off so great day after day show after show. making a name for himself after a solid mlb career. likeable and might get offered a gig in an organization soon.

This video was awesome. Loved it!

I love this woman 😍😍 She can swing!!!

This should be Lauren's mandatory wardrobe for every show.

I could watch her for days.

to get hitting instructions from Jim Thome has to be an awesome experience

She looks fantastic! Oh I'm in love!

My childhood idol right there. The purest home run hitter of my lifetime. Nobody hit the ball the other way with as much power.

What a gorgeous woman

Man Lauren is so cool and easy on the eyes as well

God bless yoga pants.

I love MLB Central ^_^

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Lauren actually has nice form... And her swing is pretty good too

I luv her she is the best they should host her on show MLB network

Not only was it hilarious. But it was also highly informative.

She's so excited. That's awesome 👍

excellent hip action 5:30

Man ....Lauren....😍👍👍

Love Me Some Lauren. She is super great in all facets. Keep it rolling along Lauren. Go Nationals..!!

When you say, just one more, just one more. You hit that sweet spot where improvements live.

She has a better swing than Chris Rose for sure but that's not really saying much

Maybe he could teach the Texas Rangers to hit, specifically Roughned Oh4

I can't talk trash to Jim he ain't no joke.

Al Kaline said it so simply: when you're in a slump, just try to hit the ball up the middle. Suddenly you'll be hitting ropes all over the field.

Smh........ fucking Lauren shehadi...... your a hottie!!!!!!! 😍❤️💍💍💍 #BaseballJunkie

Got some tips for the box and got to watch a beautiful girl demonstrate those tips.....this video is a win win.

I like when she gets excited

Wow....these two are great teachers as well

More like Lauren She-hottie :) And, damn, she can swing the bat. And, Thome was always a beast at the plate. Love that dude. Love the show, you guys are always entertaining and fun and informative.

Lauren Shehadi is so cute

Like many, I just wanted to get an eye full those cheeks but I will definitely consider these tips next time I hit the batting cage. I ended up learning a lot lol. Thank you, MLB Network.

Very Nice !!

DeRo going to have a heart attack after each of those early on swings

5:19 Thome trying to get a whiff while helping out. 2 for 1

I learned the same thing like Lauren shahadi one of my trainers taught me how to do the knob to the ball drill and shake the pitchers hand drill to very similar to what they are showing Lauren and I started to get better hitting the ball

I love this show. Base ball is hard AF.

This woman is perfection, beautiful, athletic, knows baseball, that voice, oh and did I mention beautiful?

When Thome came to the plate... especially in a tight game, you always felt like he was about to crush it. His persona on the field always seemed to bring the magic of baseball to life. For me, there are very few players today who carry that torch. Mike Trout, definitely... Harper tries, but is just a brat... maybe it's different for the younger generation... which players bring that magic alive for you?

You got Thome teaching you. You better listen.

Loved thome when he was with my sox and got a WS ring and hittin bombs

'I wanna still you UHHHH UHHHH DO a drill with you.'

That's a pretty good swing .... tough crowd

I don't know who this lovely young lady is, but she's definitely interested in learning the game. That swing looks pretty doggone good to me especially with Jim help.

She must’ve been nervous cuz he says back off u damn near step off the mound, he says move forward u move forward sideways 😂

Asking the most pull-happy slugger in history how to hit the other way......

DAMN!… I've never seen her before… whatta beauty!

Shehadi the body!!

Damn 612!!! That's amazing

She’s a cutie pie 🥰

Dude, Lauren can swing! She had to have played Softball or something...

She's putting on a show with that bat

Would like to take this time to thank MLB network wardrobe, well done!!!

Only baseball players will relate, but HOW MANY TIMES HAVE U HEARD THIS SAME ADVICE

Thome!!!

As someone trying to do the opposite (im a lefty that cannot pull at all) do players actually change their stance, where they are in the box, and where they hold the bat depending on the pitcher and where they want to take the ball? The changes are so minute I dont really notice them while watching games.

Awesome...

Frank Thomas. In his prime he was perhaps the most complete hitter in baseball.

She has a good swing looks like she played before

1:18 I died😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

LOL she high fives a fist bump. LMAO

Thong line
