  • @buckmark23 Um. Where have you been. This is what you call linear hitting mechanics, and they're terrible and wrong. Firstly, your Beetle Bailey taught wrong, and also taught what everyone else taught back then.

    Rotational mechanics is a newer concept and it's how you apply the most force to a baseball. Go watch a good rotational hitting instructional video, and then watch a good mlb hitter analysis and you'll see no one hits like this fuckstick, and they all hit with rotational mechanics.

  • what if the pitch up high and the umpires are calling it? i let those go but now it seems like there just pounding it in that area about chest high inside. how can i hit that?

  • Beetle Bailey with LSU in the late 80's early 90's would teach techniques like this. He was way ahead of his time in teaching the mechanics of hitting.

  • There is something I feel is even more important than where you hit the ball, its how you do it, which I don't feel he's really explaining. Mostly how he is using his back leg to torque around to hit it and NOT trying to open up on it, something i feel is just as important.

  • @maggotsretards What does this have to do with baseball, dummy?

  • ever hear of hitting a homerun? Groundballs dont generate doubles and home runs.

  • Theres alot of wrong things there your arms are extended all your weight is on you back foot

  • actually no, hes showing people how to hit a good inside pitch.

    And why the hell would hitting a ground ball be bad? if you hit the ball the infielders have to make plays. its alot better than what you would probably do. (hit a pop out to 3rd base...)

  • what is wrong with this guy, it's almost like he is trying to ground out.

  • you identify the pitch from where his hand is releasing it and you open your hips up early
