My son is the young man he's talking about, and since he's got a better concept with the hands he's crushing balls! TEACHERMAN IS THE TRUTH!
Tanks
This is gold. Very very good explanation this man knows his stuff
this goes against everything i was taught about hitting as a kid and i love it
Thanks again Teacherman
Thank you sir
Thank you
I did some experiments with a blast sensor. The snap is faster. My time to contact was .13 to .14 seconds vs and average of .16 seconds. That’s huge.
Your biggest problem is that you are demonstrating the snap in isolation. When you properly coil the back hip and get the hips moving there is no more efficient way to transfer hand speed generated by hip rotation (actually at its peak at the start of the swing and in a normal swing declines into contact). Great stuff
You're right about the coil, But good hitters do not swing before the foot lands. The rear leg coil starts the swing and the front leg finishes the swing. Swing starts between the time the front foot touches and the weight commits to the front foot.
Yes!
Glad you said it. How this clown came up with this shit from watching Bonds if baffling to me. This shit is garbage
Hey @veritasium - I think this would make for an awesome science, physiology, physics video!
Can you do a video showing your system or high level pattern and use Hank aaron as a reference or if you have already done it can you post a link I would like to see that
look for him on his channel he has several videos, what you ask for is there.
Watch ken Griffey Jr. Watch what he does to preload his hips and, watch how he pushes off the back leg. His front leg and foot are a break pedal.
This ought to be good 😂
I would find it fascinating to see a small athletic kid (maybe around 7-8 yrs old) learn how to hit with the Teacherman method. It’s not a natural feel but I do believe it works. I’m trying to revamp my swing to this and I’m finding it a bit of a challenge. Every video I watch I learn something new.
I've been a high school varsity baseball coach for 15 years and I'm about to test some of these concepts and find out with my 7 year old recreational league player who had a rough time last season. He is an incredible soccer player but also loves baseball. We'll see how he does but I'll take notes. Maybe @Teacherman1986 would be interested in the results? :)
go see castro bros they regularly post young kids doing this swing pattern
You are finding this a challenge because it is all wrong. It might work sometimes for little kids with tiny 20oz bats, but it would never work for a high school player or adult with a woody or a BBCOR bat. It might be a quicker way to whip the bat around, but it is absolutely improper swing mechanics and is not at all the correct way to swing the bat for power or consistency.
@@matthewswanson5623 to say this video teaches improper mechanics implies there are proper mechanics that should be taught instead. Can you share what those proper mechanics are, how you know they are the proper mechanics, and why this video teaches mechanics that don't meet that standard?
The broad statement that these mechanics won't work with full sized metal or wood bats seems to be tenuous given the amount of college and pro players who have said rich's teachings helped them.
@@mn22286 Why should I give away for free what I have spent a lot of time and money to figure out? Actually in my opinion it is not that complicated and didn't take me very long to figure out. Here are the basics:
1. Establish a balanced athletic base
2. Start with your back leg
3. Transfer that energy up through your hips and torso
4. This will begin to rotate your shoulders, as that happens you time the throwing of your hands to work in conjunction with the rotation of your shoulders. It is all about starting with the right stance, the right body part, and then proper order, movement, and timing.
Your swing should be as balanced, smooth and fluid as possible, (like KGJr’s not Barry Bonds) with minimal to no vertical movement, and moderate forward lateral movement. Again the power starts with your back leg, translates up to rotational force (torque) in your torso, which then drives your shoulders, and you then just need to time the throwing of your hands to work in conjunction with your shoulders rotation.
Last but not least, your head should be pointed where the ball goes and stay as still as possible until after contact. There is way more to it than that, but that is the basics. It is all based on common sense, simple physics, and the most basic fundamentals of human body mechanics.
Its been a year... has no one taken this guy up on his completely unserious rhetorical $10,000 bet?
The other glaring issue is that the way the techniques are demonstrated... there's always way too much head movement as a symptom. How can you properly track a ball and make good solid contact on a moving pitch with a moving head? Better eyes on the ball are more fundamental to good hitting than any extra bit of power/quickness you think you might generate from a series of jerky moves.
your eyes can move for a reason
What Tee is that? Thanks
Once you learn how he exaggerates to make points (although with many of them he seems to think he isn't exaggerating) then you can actually start to learn from him. MANY great hitters begin their swing at full foot plant. He says that's not possible. A change-up alone forces that even when you try to swing before touching down. But as a cue he tells Judge "start the swing before foot strike". Great. And I bet it felt like that, and that exaggerated feel probably mostly resulted in swings being earlier then he had been, but I bet he was initiating his swing at toe strike, and the time to full full foot plant is so fast that it took until then for all systems to go. Meanwhile, since teacherman also refuses to say open hips were the results of "hips opening" or hips that are now facing the pitcher have "rotated", and he doesn't provide acceptable new terms to replace "open" and "rotate" to describe what he means, his following will remain small, and his comments sections full of naysayers. Thankfully I think I've finally decoded his "speak". So now I'm finally learning from him. For the naysayers, consider his good terms like "launch quickness" and NOTE that his wrist hinge/barrel turn thing isn't a solo, or first, act no matter what he says. It goes with "all" other parts of the swing, and the result is bat whip and "quick" short swing to the ball
Yes...THIS NEEDS pinned all all his vids!
100% Correct. The way he explains snap is wrong (and dangerous). And his front foot ideas are wrong. BUT what he teaches can work, because if done, it will cause massive back leg rotational power with coil and the swing path will be correct. It's a classic case of old school teaching that can actually work even though he doesn't explain it accurately.
Yep. You're better off watching and learning as opposed to listening and learning with this guy
So what youre saying is that some of the wrong things he teaches is because its either "misunderstood" or he "isn't saying it right." I'm sorry. Some of it is just wrong and should be dismissed as such.
This is a fair point. That being said, I’d say his instruction could be simplified by simply teaching hitters to not overly shift weight to their front first. The rest of his instruction doesn’t make sense, mechanically. For example:
1) The snap (rotation about forearm is weak motion and makes it far more challenging for the top hand to pronate….which all the greats do. Bat quickness is an admirable thing to chase, but doing a motion that nobody uses at the MLB level to get there, proves that this technique is problematic.
2) A rear legged launch (or stating you should be only on the rear leg at impact is not practiced by any consistent hitter. Bonds, Judge, Pujolz, etc. all have their weight centered through the ball at impact. Meaning, it is not a rear legged launch…but some balance of weight between the rear and front leg and pitch location. Very hard to rear legged launch and hit a knee high pitch that is moving away. His instruction offers far less flexibility in this regard….and opens the door to less contact and K’s.
That wild
Awesome Video. Simple physics. Identify the axis of rotation. The farthest point of the radius will always be faster than the nearest point. Snap will always be faster due to where the axis of rotation is located. The Axis of rotation will be faster than the axis of rotation in the body.
I feel, this is only half the equation. The other half is being able to judge the path of the ball. which is never talked about here.
I believe him
Like taking candy from a baby!!!! Mr Rich is about to get paid! 😂😂😂😂LUV IT
You got the taking candy from a baby part right. Anyone paying him to learn his methods is getting ripped off.
@@matthewswanson5623 and why would you say that Matthew??? What hitting philosophy do you TEACH/BELIEVE IN❓❓ I will wait on your reply
@@followthefanchers I believe in teaching methods that are based on common sense, physics, and the mechanics of the human body. Methods that are also similar to things that work and are taught for similar explosive movements in other sports, like football, boxing, MMA, Golf and so on. Not some silly unfounded gimmicks that are taught by an arrogant goofball with zero credentials or professional experience. Teacherman is a tool out for a buck and more moments in the spotlight.
@@dedriccorley1170 Not surprised at all. He hasn't responded to any of my comments calling out everything that is wrong with what he is teaching. People are starting to see how fraudulent his gimmicks are.
@@matthewswanson5623 Dang Mathew, I hate you feel so ill hearted against Rich. Have you ever met him or been around him?
So do you have a facility and teach others? If so what movements and hitting philosophy do you teach? I would love to hear
You can’t uncoil your hips or back leg until your front leg gets planted. It needs to be a smooth transition, but you can’t start bringing the bat around until your front foot touches.
I swing your way now but he's explaining a right leg launch technique. It's faster.
you can if you're balanced on back leg and torquing the back hip
@@davidboatman925 maybe I should edit my comment. Because yes, your hips and arms do start the motion before the front foot has landed. But you can’t really generate real power until it has.
@@matthollander6539feel vs real
😊I like it 😊
Just gotta be careful not to dump the barrel. The concept is accurate in terms of turning the barrel deeper but u have to make sure the athlete isn’t losing the barrel and then drastically swinging up to catch up to the ball
What you describe is exactly what he teaches, so...
@@rjlovell1 hes saying to have a true barrel path. you wouldnt have to move the bat drastically at all if you snap it correctly.
You want to hit like Jason Heyward (Cubs Dodgers(, then use this approach. He's on the back launch and hits weak ground balls MOST of the time
😂
False, shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Your loop maybe faster acceleration, but not quicker to the ball.
faster acceleration means faster to ball. lol
@nofurtherwest3474 let me make it simple. Jab vs Hook. Jab is quicker to the point, straight line. Hook has more power and faster acceleration. They are not the same
@@pskinny36 ok but the teacher's swing is straight no?
@nofurtherwest3474 no its not. Not saying the swing won't work, it has a launch angle that produces pop ups. It's not the best for all. Just like boxing again. Mike Tyson short stature, work well with his uppercut. Ali had the jab because of his long arms. No swing is best for all.
@@pskinny36 i see.
what about this - there is a lot of focus on swing. but what about reading the ball. if you can't be good at reading the ball (ie determining quite quickly if it's a ball or strike) then you're not gonna be very successful.. so what some drills to get good at reading pitches quickly
Don't disagree with the approach, but the ego is off-putting.
This is completely inaccurate information. There is no wrist snap and the objective of hitting is not to find a swing that is quickest to the ball.. The video instruction lacks a complete understanding of biomechanics and the movement of the body. Please look at any professional hitter in super slow motion and you will never see the movement that is shown in this video.
ITS THE SAME GOD DAMN THING. LOOK WHEN YOU MOVED THE TEE UP IN THE ZONE- HOW IS THAT SWING PATH ANY DIFFERENT THAN "KEEPING THE BARRELL INSIDE THE BALL". When you throw your hands (i.e. knob of the bat) at the ball, and stay inside, its the exact same swing path. You couldn't make your high school baseball team, we get it- YOU ARE NOT THE ALBERT EINSTEIN OF SWING PATHS. SO YES I TAKE YOU UP ON THE BET THAT "ROTATING THE BARREL" is QUICKER- because its not- they're the exact same swing... this f**king guy.
Just wondering if anyone lost 10 grand 😂
Wondering if this was even a real bet
The fastest swing is the one lined with your hands on your load closer to your eyes, hitting the ball at the level of your hands on your load less movements just a snap and you just snap it no upper cut snap.The location of the ball makes a difference.If the ball is low and away a pitchers pitch it takes longer to get there because it's farther away.Just like up and in.you need out in front hitting opposite field hand level just a snap.
I wish I could post a screemshot. At contact your palms are front and back because your trying to force this supination motion. It simply does not happen in high level hitting.
Teaching this is going to lead to many misconceptions especially to those young kids who haven't developed their proprioception... there's a lack of anatomical understanding here but the basis and foundation is pretty good. It still remains you don't know what you don't know...
basically what you are saying is that someone who doesnt know these concepts should not teach them. This is teaching 101. Watch the videos, children can and are doing this technique. Wait till those kids are pros, a whole generation of people swinging well will revolutionize the game
He lost me with swinging before the front leg touches the ground. Might as well tell the pitcher to throw the ball before his front leg touches down so he can get it out of his hand faster.
I agree - so many mediocre hitting lessons on UA-cam.
62 home runs just like he is explaining.
@@tubes-lut Judge's swing and this guy's explanation are not the same. See for yourself.
m.ua-cam.com/video/uW7vkeE5C3g/v-deo.html
The explanation here and the biomechanics of great hitters don't matchup either. Most importantly, even if Judge did exactly what is described in this video, his size would make the outcome much different from someone smaller doing the same things.
And how much time is there between swing start and foot landing? .1 of a second? Lessons are an exaggeration. Once in real speed the whole movement shows foot landing as swing begins.
@@tubes-lut 62 home runs from literally one of the largest men ever to play the game. Even some of his mistakes are home runs.
Please understand his challenge has zero to do with hitting a baseball
THIS IS ALL BASED OFF HIM WATCHING BARRY BONDS SWING.. LISTEN TO BARRY.. THIS ISNT WHAT BARRY WAS TRYING TO DO. BARRY WAS THE GOAT.. .LISTEN TO THE GOAT NOT THIS DAD WHO IS ASSUMING WHAT BARRY DID BASED OFF WATCHING HIM.. ASK BARRY WHAT HE FELT AND WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO.. YOU LOSE THE BARREL UNDER THE BALL WITH THIS AND WHY YOU HAVE HIS STUDENT STRIKING OUT SO MUCH
Yes, but nobody swings like that. It starts your barrel, but you don't pivot like this when you hit. And your plane sucks... Another bad hitting lesson. Good job hitting another foul ball.
Violently moving your head around as you try and gain maximum quickness means you might not hit anything anyway.
Good way to fly out 75% of the time 👎🏽
This is all wrong. Twisting your wrists like that, might whip that pipe around quicker than swinging it like you should properly swing a bat, but you couldn't even do that with a real bat. You just don't crank your wrists like that to initiate your swing with a Baseball bat. You are flicking a very light pipe. Swinging a real bat, at a real pitch, trying to do that with your hands and wrists, absolutely will not work, and might end up hurting your wrists. My Lord, I hope I can wake some people up from buying into your ridiculous nonsense. There is actually some truth and helpful information in your videos, but it all gets lost in your gimmicky BS and outrageous claims.
100% correct ^^^
It’s scary how many comments praise this guy, and they have no clue that this wrist-whipping is NOT ideal for the large majority of hitters.
This is just one drill out of many. This is an isolation drill.
He is partially right and partially wrong the coil he is right the snapping the wrist back is wrong the front shoulder coming up and back snaps the wrist naturally not mechanical like he is saying do not snap your wrist
