How to Switch Hit: Baseball Hitting Tips : How to Swing the Bat Right Handed

[mrobles1028]

Watch Michael Robles - switch hitter - The dude explodes on the ball!

[ImBordCanYouTell]

How to switch hit: hit 100 balls off your tee every night left handed for 2 months. Thats how i did it =) just started switch hitting and im a sophmore in highschool

[controversialsports]

well first of all the batting stance is whatever is most comfortable for the batter.  his arms werent places correctly his right arm should be 90 degrees with the ground.

[watson6996xxx]

lousy

[vstarmachgoat]

k, first movement should be negative, back no matter how ever so slight, the 57 sec mark on this video

Awful. You want your weight moving forward a contact. That's why you get a trigger to put weight behind you so your weight transfers to the ball. But obviously you don't want to be past 50/50 at contact. Either this man is an idiot or he's teaching people who are idiots.

Yankees fan!

I like the phillies

[willwyne]

u should hit against ur front leg, dont squish the bug and u should stay inside the ball. ignore that wrist snapping crap

[friendsrock01]

csn u do a softball teaching because i play softbal i can hit the ball and i need to learn how to pich a strike and i know how to swing a bat but my sisters say im doing it wrong

[bigghitter7]

you do not open up your front hip.. this is a terrible swing

[jolupapi]

ExpertVillage is more like IdiotTown.

[jolupapi]

LOL, very wrong. You do not put the weight on your back foot. Your back foot is supposed to be off the ground. And your front foot perpendicular to the pitcher. This is while in the swing. Look up Albert Pujol's swing guys. He'll show you how to do this.

[softballhutch13]

ur true when saying this is bad but the one right thing about it is that u r supposed to have ur weight on ur back foot. if ur back foot is off the ground u dnt get any power and u will lose balance.

[jolupapi]

No dude, really, look at Albert Pujols' swing. The back foot is just used to keep your center of gravity on your front foot. After the swing and the contact all the weight goes to the back foot to not fall down and to keep balance.

[Ellodeycallmesexy]

Pujols kinda has somethin most of us don't have -- natural raw ability. The way Pujols hits is definately not for everyone. Btw -- Charlie Lau teaches back foot off the ground so the hitter ends on the toes. That man turned George Brett from a Mendoza-line hitter into a HOFer

[josef331]

i know im a right handed swinger and this guy has a problem to your toe should be in the floor and i think your absulutly right

[maginick24]

You are supposed to have your weight on your back foot and your swing naturally balances the weight, and gets your front heel down. If you want maximized power, you stiffen your front leg on contact.

[josef331]

the back foots heel should be up

[freestyle5000]

thanks. it was brief and right to the point!

[softballhutch13]

uhmmm... i'm pretty sure ur supposed to have ur hands inside when u swing. his hands r really wide and are too far out. this isnt much help. sorry.

[jolupapi]

This isn't the proper way to swing. With your back arm you have to form an L and have your lead arm all the way out. Also, try to keep a circular motion with your hands. Keep your hips in front as you bring your shoulder around. This is how a lot of MLB players swing.

[professorxox]

that's not how your back foot should end up. It should not end up in the same place.

[tresnezy]

His hands are way out in front and old dude is right u cant teach how to be a switch hitter

[qnion]

he is just like my JV coach....he cant hit either

[BrayisAG]

sorry man but u cant hit either

[sebastian703]

yo man not to be rude...but u cant teach how to be a switch hitter eithr you can do it or you cant...

[MoronVillage]

Juan no offense bro, but you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Make a video on how to bake a pie or something. Im sure you are a nice guy but not a baseball guy.

[hittheclutch]

this is garbage. this 'expert' will lead you to a .100 career average. guaranteed.

[krazynigg23]

this is not the way to hit,

totally wrong.

[FastpitchTrainer]

Check out my page and look at the "example.wmv" video, shows 4 of the best hitters in MLB with weight off the back leg. The back leg is an anchor during the swing once hip rotation has begun.

[r2nim]

He throws his hands so far out he might as well be fishing.

[Pocketluvr]

You don't deserve to wear a yankees hat.

[adblue15]

where the fuck do you get your power from???

[silvershell4]

good point

[videogal344]

if you think this is bad, watch the video on sliding, it's 10x worse

[cp3hornets1]

umm.... yes you do put alot of your weight on your back foot , thats were you get a ton of your power , but I think he plays softball.

[groganfan]

brutal to watch

this guy is a softball player or something.

I hope all my sons competitors watch this video

[Splosion412]

retard

[redneck21ryan]

you don't put your weight on your back foot bitches

[thejack505]

yes you do you retard

[jolupapi]

Albert Pujols' swing says different. You clearly see that Pujols weight is basically suspended in his front foot until his swing is finished. THIS IS THE PROPER WAY TO SWING. ALL WEIGHT OFF BACK FOOT.

[assholefarts]

omg, so terrible. show me one person who does that. ever seen a game before?

[st3v320]

i do it its called a mike epstien swing dumbass

[pantera55767]

[MaywoodMets]
