Very good video. Working with our 11u team a lot on their hitting and all around fundamentals. Never realized how much you pick up over the years playing until I started coaching and explaining the little things.
I need a few of those big league grips. We took a team who won 1 game out of 40 plus games. Turn their attitude about hitting around and went from single a to AAA in two years. Watching alot of your mechanics in hitting. Thanks for the videos
The best thing I did for grip is to hold the handle farther away from my thumbs. From the finger tips there's that first set of knuckles then it's that second set of knuckles where I lay the handle then wrap the rest of my hand around that. For a righty batter it's at the base of the right thumb that gets stung bad if you get jammed. I've never had a problem once I started holding the bat handle farther away from my thumbs. Seems like I also have more control and bat speed. You don't really need any kind of grip aid if you start out with the right grip.
Great video!!!! Thank you for posting these to help us Dad/coaches to help our teams on things that the kids struggle with. Great points in here and will definitely be implementing these to our team. We could definitely use that grip to help our kids work on there timing for their swings!
Great points on teaching the stride in progression. For really young kids, maybe 1st timers, the stride is too advanced. Keeping it simple is key for young minds, with short attention spans.
I have coached youth ball for many years... AND … in training them , it does take a youth approach mentality in order to share a coaches knowledge successfully . You have a great understanding of the process. Thanks for sharing . The grip looks like a great training tool to add to the tool box in order to teach the fundamentals of the swing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Coach! Awesome help and hints for coaches and parents around the world! This helps a lot of coaches! I do truly believe mechanics is the root of a good swing. If I were to win the contest I would have my team to use it with our Easton thunderstruck drills. This should help with correcting their grip while improving their tracking skills. Kills 2 birds with 1 stone!
I'm always looking to get my two boys and daughter something to help them with there swing. There grip with there little hands is something that is always challenging. But I'm always skeptical about buying something and it doesn't work. So if you are giving away a grip and it works the way you say it does. I would love to implement in my kids batting practices. Thanks for great Vid. Heading to cages to to work on it now.
First year coach here and I use your videos for advice daily. Also watch some of the other guys you have collaborated with found them on your channel. Big league grip would be great for the few kids on the team struggling with proper grip and my son included. He likes to open up and I just started getting him to start closed off so when he does take that stride he doesn’t open up as much. Thanks for the videos much appreciated
I would use the Big League Grip to reinforce how important it is to always go back to the basics when you find yourself struggling in areas that you previously excelled. My son is currently a freshman. He made his varsity team. He has played competitive/travel ball since he was 7 yrs old. We have played on the best teams in our area and at the highest level. Perfect Game etc. He has always hit in the 3/4 hole for every team. This year he struggled. Due to such high expectations, in my opinion, he was trying to do too much. IF THE HANDS ARE NOT RIGHT YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED AT HITTING.
Id give the big league grip to my son hes 10 and this is his first year playing thanks for the opportunity. I watch your videos they're great and now having my son watch them also
I coach Pony League baseball. I think your videos are great. We were in the cage today doing soft toss and full bp. One of my young 12 year olds is having an issue with what you refer to as an athletic stance. Everything in this video was perfect for his situation. I can't wait until next bp to implement this. I would love to mix in the grip also. Thank you, John.
I was actually just out earlier today teaching these same exact things to my 7 year old son and a couple of his teammates. Would love to be able to use that big league grip to help emphasize the palm up palm down as they get their bats through the zone. Keep up the videos coach. Love the content.
My Grand son had been tearing the cover off the ball this year.He was hitting like .800 with lots of home runs.His last 2 games he had hit the ball but they were weak hits. I took him to the field and we hit off the tee.That is when I notice he was not standing like he usally does..with his butt out and bent over.As soon as I gt him into the right stance he drove the ball hard and far. Thanks for validing that I was correct about his tsance.
I would really like a big league grip to work with my high school prep and my 10u travel ball team. I think this week help some of my players with their swing. Thank you for the hitting mechanics video. Very helpful.
Great stuff coach, I would use it to reinforce my conversation with my 11AA team about what I called grip the bat in your finger pits , which I believe is what that product produces. Love the channel
Very useful tip that I can implement into my players, particularly because I'm a first time little league coach and like you said one piece at a time. Excellent advice. I would use this to work on the proper grip. My players are 7 and 8 and never held a bat before, so it would be a very useful and effective tool for them to use
Thanks John great vid! I would use the grip for my 11year old son. He’s transitioning from golf to baseball and as you know the grip is a bit different. Using the grip tool will be one less thing to remind him about during bp
I would use this grip to help my boys and a couple of the girls learn to get their hands in the right position to give them the best chance to succeed.
I'd use the BigLeagueGrip at our little league group practices (since we only have few teams). That way we could see how many of these kids have proper grip, then show them this video to start helping batting stance. ⚾️👍
Great video. Like the way you go into detail about how to implement it with younger players. Always looking for good tips for my 6 yr old son. Would be good to see if that grip helps any.
Great tips here! I’m trying so fix my 11 year old daughter’s softball swing. She gets so frustrated with me that I can’t explain to her in an understandable way that she needs to be palm up palm down at point of contact. I’ll also have her subscribe and watch your videos 😉 Thanks for the great info!
Great video and good tips. I'd use the grip for my son's team practice. Maybe they won't look like the bad news bears after practicing with the grip and using your tips!
Thanks for the video - this really helps for working with the real young ones - I coach my twin 4 yr olds in t-ball and my 10 year old in kid pitch and having each section broken down really helps - oh and the bat grip wouldn't hurt :)
10:51 Al Cowlings and O.J. driving by to get a look at your new bat grip! I would use it for the high school baseball team I help coach. Thanks for all your great videos!
I would use this for my 12 year old son. He has been struggling at the plate and one thing Ive noticed is he is gripping the bat so deep into his hands he has no flexibility in the bat. This grip would be perfect as he has middle school tryouts at the end of the month. Love the vids coach
Hey Jhon let me congratulate you on this work , excellent , to me personally you and Matt Antonelli are the two guys with more knowledge, wish I can have the chance to spent a baseball hitting Clinic with both of you , I played minor leagues for Colorado rookies , and Phillis, now I transfer all my knowledge to my son , who I believe can make it. Thanks and make god and the universe to keep helping players .
I'm coaching minors in little league and all of them are new and pretty raw with their swing mechanics. I would use that grip trainer to lock in the basic fundamentals.
My first year coaching my daughter's softball team. I would use the bat grip as not only a visual but physical part of proper gripping of the bat. Ur right its a challenge trying to relate my knowledge of softball Mechanics to these girls. So with the bat grip, I'm sure it would help the girls understand better if they have an actual guide to match up with what I'm saying. R u still giving one away 😁
Can I have one of the grips plz it would help me by teaching me where to put my hands on the bat and also how to chock up on the bat because most I'm chocking up too much or I'm not chocking up at all. So it would help out my swing a lot. Thanks
#7 gets my vote as the best overall tip... piecemeal all this great info to the kids. I've never focussed much on grip, but that tool looks interesting and I'd use it to change up hitting practice for the kids... Introduce something new.
Great video and information. Feel free to send a Big League Grips my way so I can continue to develop my son and his teammates on proper hitting mechanics and grip.
Great video and the big league grip seems like a great product.. Feel free to send one my way and I'll put it to good use with my baseball and softball kids.
Another great video Coach John! I'm the head coach of a 9/10 yr old team, and your videos have been very helpful to me. I'm a little confused about the role of the hands in the swing. Am I supposed to snap my wrists at impact? Or is that something that should happen naturally? Thanks!
How long on each step should not only coaches but us as parents who are working with our little leaguer work on them so they don't get bored or tired from doing?
Coach i hyper extended my elbow and its been a year of rest and my elbow hurts when i trow i've gone to physical therapy and nothing. Any advice? Thanks love you r vids!
This is my third year coaching my sons baseball team. He is 11 and he is very big and has a powerful swing. just needs to work and stance body angle. A bit. Great pitcher. His bat grips are not great.
This video is good, but I think the kids would need to have at least a mediocre stance for this advice to work. We have about eight kids who stand stick straight and I can't seem to get them to bend their knees for anything. I can get a few of them to get semi-athletic by saying "bounce bounce" to them right before they receive a pitch, but I would have to keep saying it over and over every pitch. I'm coaching kid-pitch 10U. Any advice?
Trent Robertson yeh keep it simple and keep repeating. Some kids are smarter, pay attention better, have better feel, than others but everyone could use the reps and repeating.

I don't know about that but I wish
Good tips. I especially like the part about the knees.
First time t-ball coach here. Very helpful tutorial. Body mechanics on for today. Thank you!
Very good video. Working with our 11u team a lot on their hitting and all around fundamentals.
Never realized how much you pick up over the years playing until I started coaching and explaining the little things.
We need something like that grip in our 8-10 yrs old instructional league one less this to worry about when teaching the kids to hit

A 14u travel ball team is struggling hitting the ball... I would love to have this to get them back to basics and focus on fundamentals!

You’re an excellent teacher. You have to have the knowledge and know how to communicate it effectively. Thank you for this.
I love this video and would use the big league grip to help my 11 year old get his grip more consistent.
Thanks Coach! Awesome help and hints for coaches and parents around the world! This helps a lot of coaches! I do truly believe mechanics is the root of a good swing.

Have you looked at Ken Griffey Jr's arms at contact? One of the best ways to get those positions is to do front arm only swings.
Teach my 7 year old grandson hitting mechanics. Your video is very helpful. Big grip would be great to have.
Thanks for the video! Definitely will use this to help my little one bat. He would love the grips as well. Your coaching is appreciated.
Id give the big league grip to my son hes 10 and this is his first year playing thanks for the opportunity. I watch your videos they're great and now having my son watch them also
One of the few guys on UA-cam that really knows about hitting.
We would use this grip for our girls club softball team . Would be a great idea to introduce this grip to the girls fastpitch scene.
I coach Pony League baseball. I think your videos are great. We were in the cage today doing soft toss and full bp.

This a great video John. Great tip regarding the knee position. Love that shirt you are wearing. Mission 22 is a great 501C3 that does great work.
Love the videos, really helping me work with my son on the hitting mechanics. Anything to help him become a better ball player.

awesome tips I'm hoping my Little Leaguer can increase his batting average with your help. thank you.
He needs a Big League Gripper

This would help with my grips for school ball. Keep up the good work

I’d use the Big League grips for my LL team as a hitting station off tee, maybe sit on a bucket...:) great vid
You don't understand what your explaining, but you have the right idea.
Great tips here! I’m trying so fix my 11 year old daughter’s softball swing. She gets so frustrated with me that I can’t explain to her in an understandable way that she needs to be palm up palm down at point of contact. I’ll also have her subscribe and watch your videos 😉 Thanks for the great info!
Thank u coach John for the great tips
I would use the Big League Grips with my Little League Minors players. Routinely getting palm up palm down is the unicorn of hitting
It’s be awesome to get the grip to use for training with my 2 boys
My swing is finally coming together. My biggest problem is swinging all arms. But my body is starting to move correctly
Have you tried front arm only swings?
Great video and good tips. I'd use the grip for my son's team practice. Maybe they won't look like the bad news bears after practicing with the grip and using your tips!

I would love to try that grip on my youngest son who is struggling in his first year of kid pitch. Thanks!
It's my son's first year playing and I would use the big league grip to help his grip out
Would use the grip to get my son to not only start with good grip but also end with good grip
really good info here, folks!
Hey coach can you do a video for throwing over the top as a pitcher my little brother is 14 and he short arms the ball and throws from the side.
That's what I do always so it would be good to learn
john martinez yes I can

Would use the grip for my son who is finishing up his rec baseball play and moving into summer practice prior to travel ball start
Great video
Great video and information. Feel free to send a Big League Grips my way so I can continue to develop my son and his teammates on proper hitting mechanics and grip.
Thank u man
I would use it help our team improve there their grip technique. To help them to continue to grow to their full potential.
NICE
Great video and the big league grip seems like a great product.. Feel free to send one my way and I'll put it to good use with my baseball and softball kids.
Man, I need you to come help my kid swing a bat. He's so stiff and robotic...and like most kids just doesn't want to listen to dad.
I thought it was just my son that doesn't want to listen to me! Glad I'm not the only one.
That bat grip would be great for my 10 yr old.
Would use the grip with my 8 yr old son just starting to work on grip and athletic stance
I am a baseball player and can you do video on how to throw an curve sinker and a knuckle
thekidstrong Yes I can
Thanks

Another great video Coach John! I'm the head coach of a 9/10 yr old team, and your videos have been very helpful to me.
I'm a little confused about the role of the hands in the swing. Am I supposed to snap my wrists at impact? Or is that something that should happen naturally? Thanks!
With a proper swing, the hands will unhinge thru the hitting zone naturally. You don't want to unhinge the hands too early.
Thanks! So what should I be thinking of doing with my hands just prior to impact?
I would use it for my 8 Year son. To help him with his placement and grip
different colored shoes? nice video by the way.
what shoes are those in this video those are dope. where can i buy those
How long on each step should not only coaches but us as parents who are working with our little leaguer work on them so they don't get bored or tired from doing?
Well done. Please pay attention to last 2 mins "development takes time" & "no robots" - in most cases when is more important than how you coach'em up.
I'd use them to teach players to feel palm up/palm down - fundamental to solid/consistent contact.
Coach i hyper extended my elbow and its been a year of rest and my elbow hurts when i trow i've gone to physical therapy and nothing. Any advice? Thanks love you r vids!
Can I upload a video of my son batting...., we need help with his hitting ... 🙏
Thanks coach! Good tips . ⚾⚾⚾⚓⚓💪
Should you keep your elbow and bat up
This is my third year coaching my sons baseball team. He is 11 and he is very big and has a powerful swing. just needs to work and stance body angle. A bit. Great pitcher. His bat grips are not great.

I am playing in 10u and we are playing for first place
I’d give it to my son.
Yeah
Why did you skip leg day?
Is this for 13u
Anthony Kita Yup. Really all levels but I’d say 13 and below will benefit most from this.
