Please tell me this is a joke.... Those swings are horrible.. flying off, rolling over, not using the back leg to drive and the list goes on... Fucking muppets!!
Awesome sound on this. I have ADD so having the 1 video with 2 different people taking at the same time is perfect for me. I'm learning how a 3rd baseman fields a high-chopper at the same time on how to squre up my hips to the pitcher on the swing follow-thru...all at once!
@MistahFuzzy- Do you really want to swing down to hit the ball with backspin. Swing down to hit with over/topspin. Swing slightly up to undercut the ball slightly and hit the ball with backspin. Swinging down is good to hit grounders.
the swing should not be perfectly "level" with the pitch. Levelling out your swing creates bat drag and a tendency to drop your hands. There should be a slight downward path at contact to create backspin.
soxfarmer, The hips lead the way, meaning, the hips rotate first with the foot pivot going at the same time then the hands take the knob and the barrel to the ball with the shoulders following, meaning there is a separation of the hips and the shoulders during the forward movement, the whole body does not rotate at the same time.
It was proved that raising your elbow 90 degrees does not contribute to power, but the movement of your hands coming back as you stride. Couches may teach young hitters to keep their elbow up to stop the hands from rolling over too soon but as they get older it really does not matter.
Next time you watch a baseball game watch their elbows. Not all of them are up and most of them can hit pretty well.
the kid at 0:27 has a horrible bad swing. he has no power because his back arm is limp, cramped in and is aiming toward the ground! Your back elbow should be high/level with shoulder for maximized power. haha, and then it gets worse from there. i can't believe this is an instructional video lol! 1:11 is floppy like he has jellyfish hands. no power!
Best lunging rotational arm swing i've ever seen! Show me a clip of one Major league batter swinging like this? "How to hit ground balls 101". PITCHERS JOB: Throw pitches so the batter hits ground balls!!! This batter is doing exactly what the pitcher and infielders want him to do. Strike outs can take many pitches to achieve. A nice grounder will have this guy out in 2 or 3 pitches. He'll be on his face reaching for a breaking ball with that lunge every swing.
why do people show videos of how to hit "correctly"? Everyone has different swings, everyone feels comfortable with theyre own style swings.......the only thing every video should try to explain is keeping your weight balanced in every facet of YOUR swing
Why the fuck do people make this shit so complicated? Teach a kid how to do a sumersault, then give him a strength and conditioning program, then teach him basic mechanics and he will develop a hell of a lot more than anyone who basis their baseball preparation on this shit.
Why would you teach someone to do something that they will do automatically if they have proper posture and basis of athleticism. Look at the swings in the videos, they aren't even powerful swings. They are hitting fucking weak ground balls off of tees, when Major League players can practically hit the ball out of the park off a tee. The mechanics are forced, therefore they are not maximizing range of motion, nor kinetic link. This shit is why so many athletes get hurt.
If you swing parallel to the ground or downward toward the ground, then you have NO CHANCE to hit the ball...I'm convinced the VAST MAJORITY of LL coaches have NO CLUE!
Horrible. Is this a college program? The field looks damn nice. I bet it's alot better then the team batting ave. This poor kid hit 6 ground ball outs off that tee and even tried to hit the ball to right with the ball out in front of the plate. This is amazing!
your supposed to swing down and "cut" the ball in half. when you do it write that produces line drives and home runs. it also prevents you from popping up. you have a better chance at reaching base with a ground ball which may have a chance to go through the hole.
haha swing down.....swing down means roll over ground ball.....ur supposed to have a slight uplift inorder to get backspin for rising line drives...its funny how some people think swing down is hitting....name one big leaguer who swings down
lance berkman of the astros. few years back when the all star game was at houston and he was in the home run derby he was swinging down to create a lot of back spin which carries the ball out of the park
How about the player with the best swing in the bigs...Joe Mauer. Rolling over into a ground ball has everything to do with how you finish a swing, not to how you got there.
way to swing down on the ball, you produced three weak ground balls, you will be really successful in hitting when in fielders at the college+ level field a a .950+ average. Even ichiro swings up at the ball
actually power comes from, a level swing, when its level the bat will twist a little bit, but enough to give the bal rise
an uppercut swing is terrible, your trien to get the same thing out of it, but instead of letting the bat do the work, your having to use your arms and body way more
wow if anyone actually listens to this video ur crazy...all those people/kids swings SUCK!! their hands arnt in the zone, their load is horrible, they r never gonna pull a ball and many other ones too. especially the guy at the start of the video. he pulled his hip, shoulder, and everything else out of the zone before the bat head came through. NO ONE LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO ITS CRAZY.
and they think they're doing it right thats whats sad about it. the players are turning there back foot before there swing even starts! they're not using it to push they are just turning it! my gosh theres so many things wrong i dont have time to list them
read Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
its not that horrible. one problem is that he is on his front food whihc eliminates all power in legs. also his swings starts way to late and too compact, therefore losing all velocity which is obtained by starting swing early. for any coach that believes in thorwing hands or knob first, you are wrong.

myschoolispoor 2 years ago
Please go watch some videos of quality MLB hitters... Griffey Jr., Derrick Lee, Manny, Jeter, etc.
We want an upward swing to match the downward angle of the pitch: the optimum round ball meets round bat for square contact.
We want parallel contact not perpendicular contact with the ball.
Striking down on the ball, like crossing an "X" limits your opportunity to hit the ball, let alone drive it.
