COLE-MAN STARTER HITTING LESSON #1 - age 12

[pearlpearlpearl333]

My 8 year old watches your video's ....he is just now starting to get the fever....he has to work hard to get IT. Some kids it just seems to come natural others have to work hard for IT. Have you always had the IT factor? What a nice young man you are you seem very humble. Thanks for helping out my 8 year old. God Bless!

[Heavilinhobby]

@pearlpearlpearl333 thank you for your kind words. i have never felt that i have IT. when you think you have IT that is when your edge. some of my friends have lots more natural talent than me but just keep trying to work hard and play to the best of MY ablilties.

[Heavilinhobby]

@lilcrooklife thank you

[xxXRoxxyXxx]

Aspergers or way too smart???

[roccomont329]

i hate it when kids younger than me teach me!!!! lol

[Heavilinhobby]

this wasn't made for people like you. this was made for some youtube friends in peru who are elite soccer players and asked me to show them how to hit as they were taking baseball as an 8 week course in school. they wanted to learn from someone their own age. cole-man

[roccomont329]

@Heavilinhobby yeah but i learned a bit from it, it seems nowadays mechanics is forgotten, so seeing a basic mechanics vid reminded me

[mxpassion17]

He cole-man what do you do for batting drills/practice? soft toss? tee? batting machine? also what do you think of using the batting machine is it a good thing? or live pitching is better?

[Heavilinhobby]

@mxpassion17 i don't like to do machine pitch too much unless it is one of the new curveball machines that can be set with 5 different pitches. those help me. most everything i do is my teammates or coaches pitching to me in cages.

[mxpassion17]

kid knows baseball good luck in the future . i coach 13-14 my sons team in brooklyn NY.

[Heavilinhobby]

thank you for your comments. good luck back at you! your new youtube friends, heavilnhobby go brooklyn!! you should check out his video called Cole-Man Cooperstown. that was on your side of the country.

[GibsonSG4214]

I'm much better than u im 8th in the U.S so look at the videos that im putting up in 2011

[Heavilinhobby]

[mlbcrosschecker]

What team will you be playing on this spring maybe i'll come watch - Greene

[mlbcrosschecker]

Cole my name is Stephen Greene and i am an associate scouting director for player relations about to transition to a Major League Baseball Crosschecker. You look like you have excellent knowledge for the game of baseball, have you committed to college yet? I would not be surprised if you were the 1st 12 year old to commit to a Division 1 School! I'll be scouting you in High School, best of luck - Greene

[Heavilinhobby]

Wow. I don't know what to say. i am so happy to read your comment and it makes my day, my week, my year and my Christmas. Please keep in touch and let me know how i could do better. I'm in 7th grade and being trained by Tony Wolters, MVP Aflac All-American and USA team. I want to be the best player that has ever played. I have some work to do. Cole-Man

[Heavilinhobby]

Heavilinhobby is the dad. Who else would it be, Einstein? Yes, 5 year olds. Yes, your peers. If everyone shared information, you could pick up tips from your friends. Cole has. I have. You have. I see you trashing everyone on youtube. Do you ever say anything contstructive?

[BaseballFan1961]

[jewelkleeb1]

[jbnjk13]

[Bobeenshow]

Good info

[oka543]

ok cole

[Heavilinhobby]

No problem. Thank you for noticing my videos all the way from Peru. It is fun for me too. Load up your questions and put them in the comments of any video and I will do my best to answer them. I'm putting a video comment on the throwing and catching video right now. Check it out. cole

[scooter20]

Cole-man, thank you for helping the Davy College baseball club. Our athletic department is very happy that you are assisting us. The kids are racing to the field after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays to get started, and baseball is the talk of the primary campus. And it is great to see our girls out there competing with the boys and doing well. We've got a good thing started. Thanks again.

[oka543]

well, mi throwing is not good, my catch is almost, but i am practicing 4 times a week

[Heavilinhobby]

I forgot to tell you guys how to hold the ball. A short video showing my grip is coming. Cole

[Heavilinhobby]

do you have any questions about baseball? How is your throwing or catching? Cole

[oka543]

well, in a part of peru named HUARAZ

adrian

[Heavilinhobby]

does it snow there? cole

[oka543]

hey cole, of wath state are you, i wanna figure it, if you are a new yankee , or that ones from new yeerse.

ADRIAN M

[Heavilinhobby]

Hi Adrian. Welcome. I'm live in Southern California, near Mexico. We are on the opposite side of the country from the New York Yankees. We have The Terminator as our governor (Arnold Schwarzenegger). We have sunny and warm weather all year. I'm guessing it is like that in Peru?

[oka543]

well, in peru in 9:00 am to 3:00 pm is hot, then is going cold and cold

[Heavilinhobby]

Hi LimaJoe100. It would be great to figure out what the problem is with the resgistration. my goal is to have questions and answers for everyone else to see. We can all argue about baseball and discuss different styles of techniques and have it open to the world to learn better. Can I help you with resgistrring? It should take about 5 minutes to make up a user name and password. U can teach them since you've done it already. It would mean so much to me as I want it to work. Pretty please?

[limajoe100]

Cole, your videos were a lot of help. The kids watched and applied what they'd learned, but most can't seem to get registered. They do have comments and questions, but if we can't work through the registration problem, is there another way they can communicate with you?

[adrianferpla]

wow how can you hit so well? had you practice for long time?

since when?

[optumus123]

hey its me jason Whats up check out my channel yo

[Mortice62]

hey cole u rock thanx for cheking my vids one of this days ill talk to u about my country

[Heavilinhobby]

No prob if you get a few minutes maybe you can check out mine. Cole

[oka543]

Wow cole, your very right. When you can be an adult you can win all the yankees group

[Heavilinhobby]

I would love to be a Yankee. I think that would be cool. Will you come to my first game and sit front row as my guest? LOL Cole

[oka543]

yeah men, everything for seeing a master playing

[Heavilinhobby]

That is kind of you to say.  Thanks for commenting, Adrian. How is your baseball going there in Cajamarca?

[oka543]

well, some some , im not an expert

[Heavilinhobby]

Keep up the good work, Adrian! You'll get good in no time. Cole

[oka543]

Thanks cole , for knowing that i can make it(or thinking)

adrian

[Heavilinhobby]

No problem. Do you have any baseball questions I might be able to help you with? do you need me to make you any more videos?

[oka543]

until no, thanx

[limajoe100]

Mucho gracias, mi amigo! Tu eres muy bueno! Esta bien!

[herbiesnerd]

Awesome video instruction Cole! The first 7 minutes discussing pre-swing activity is awesome because that information is sometimes under emphasized by coaches and players. Your going to make a great coach someday!
