really not that hard to hit batting practice. I do it all the time for my team. What amazes me is that it amazes someone that someone else could hit 10 good ground balls to specific spot on the field.

They are even more prone to bad habits than little leaguers. Why you ask? Because these guys have the athleticism to overcome the bad habits, but even athleticism can only go so far.
Love your channel! And was highly impressed by this small video clip. I can't imagine the amount of great drills that that kids going to your camps get to see from your experiences.
I play softball now, but when I played baseball, there were too many coaches that got mad at you, but likely couldn't make the play themselves. Example would be playing LF on a bumpy field. Ball would come at you and take a hard kick to the side. Coach immediately gets pissed and starts yelling stuff like "keep it in front of you!" My favorite is when an overweight coach gets mad at an outfielder for not making the catch on a ball they had to run 90+ feet for and one that statcast would rate a 5 star grab if it's made.
Hehe when a great Master is teaching I don't speak much either . I go ok , and nod. Ig the subject is tactical,or formartions , then there is more room for questions, debate or opinions.
My favorite part about this is this it’s probably 5-10 minutes in real time. I love the unspoken expectancy of “You’re a pro. I’m going to show you something for a few minutes and after that, it’s up to you and the rest of your career to build upon this training.”
Jesus Rodriguez he means let the ball travel to you. Don’t go get the ball and try to bring it back to make the tag. Let the ball do the work by letting the ball come to you
it’s amazing to see professionals coaching he is already an insane athlete the fact his is established in the league but the coach is still able to expose his weaknesses that’s just great coaching
True test of a good athlete. The coach blatantly laughs at him when he messes up and the guy doesn’t even change his facial expression... in fact he looks more determined and goes for it harder... that’s a coachable guy. 👏
I am from the UK and love baseball. These finer details and technique`s i find so interesting. I remember trying to hit balls from one of those machines when on holiday but always hit the ball into the ground. I thought i was going to be better. I played Golf and Cricket to a decent level so expected results pretty quick. The next guy up played semi pro baseball, his partner told me and it was a thing of beauty watching him. Similar watching a pro golfer. Kind of extended the swing fully.You could see his swing repeated and he was coached. Its superb watching people who are good at what they do.
this is what makes Baez so good at the no look tags. he lets the ball pass his face and then drops the glove straight down, always making it the same spot
I love baseball. I never went past Little League. But, as a Little Leaguer and a son, I was able to watch and learn some from the late 1960s-early 1970s Championship Baltimore Orioles (Sometimes in person at Memorial Stadium). Hall of Famers!! I wish I had stuck it out. I was always a great fielder (mostly outfield, but I subbed at 3rd base very nicely). I think I would have figured hitting out, but maybe the times just weren't there, and I would just continue to suck at hitting! Well, now, my back hurts too much to swing a bat hard, so the OVER THE FENCE homer is still out of the question...ALWAYS WAS! But learning the game, like we see in this video, dotting the i's and crossing the t's, is just beautiful. Holding the tag was missing, where instant replay is so prevalent nowadays. But I love the fundamentals taught in the video, and would have loved to go through those drills as a young ballplayer! Great stuff!
Best infield coach in the Major Leagues , not even close . Coached him as a player in AA Albany NY 1989 . Should also get a chance to Manage at the ML level. 👍⚾️
I wish I had these type of coaches growing up. I ended up with the ones that told you that your swing plane needs to come down at the ball, hit the top half of the ball, and raise your back elbow as high as you can.
I love the way Bobby works with his players. When I first saw this I thought Renato was disrespectful by not looking at Bobby and tossing rocks, etc. Turns out he is in the minors now.
The coach kind of mentioned where to tag. The biggest problem on tag plays is the fielder reaches out to place the tag and the runner slides underneath it. Which this coach is apparently oblivious to. The good thing is umpires call the runner out if the ball beats him, they don't really care about when the tag was placed.
@@wildcard157 I'm aware of instant replay, but thanks. In theory replay solves a lot. In reality it doesn't. The A's/Indians 9th inning homerun 5 years ago, Angel Hernandez got it wrong in real time and on the replay. There are tons of examples but that's one of the worst ones. I guess you don't watch much baseball.
Agree and disagree, more times than not, a runner will slide into the closest part of the base and a bang bang play, if throw beats him and fielder is waiting then you will see a diversion in the slide. This is basic fundamental framework of the play, of course being a athlete you will improvise your tag accordingly. The key word in your example :Angel Hernandez
imagine how much better players (not just mlb players just players in general, even rec players) would be if their coaches taught them this stuff from a young age.
I agree, there shouldn't be one tag that you're married to. However, letting the ball get to you is absolutely good advice. The ball can fly a lot faster than you can swing your arm.
Only on a force play, runners would be on 1st and 2nd in this instance. If there's only one runner on it's not a force, and you would have to tag a runner trying to get into 3rd base out.

Duude just hit like 10 perfect balls to third base. respect
that was tight ima try to see how many i can hit like that tomorrow im willing to bet I will not come close to his perfection
@@KobaBlack113 did I say in a row?? How many could you hit to third out of 10??
Yes but when the ball is traveling at 95 mile per hours is a different story
really not that hard to hit batting practice. I do it all the time for my team. What amazes me is that it amazes someone that someone else could hit 10 good ground balls to specific spot on the field.
I know. What a guy
“You ain’t that cute don’t be afraid of the ball” love it
I dont understand what that means
Maple Strip because people are afraid to get hit with the ball so they are hesitant to get the ball the fastest way because it risks their “cute” face
Wack Daddy I’m going to start using that
@@andresg9347 ahh, i was drunk at that time so i didnt understood it even tho it was fairly simple. u also may be wondering why i replied to u a year later. its cuz u didnt @my name

Love what value this shows. Even major leaguers are breaking bad habits. Good stuff Nunez.

Renato Nunez actin' like a GTA Online character.
Dylen Mo he speaks no English
@@maxmckiernan8941 he understands perfectly and speaks it too.
Chasing Excellence he’s making a joke

Had the chance to work with Bobby back in 2012. Tremendous coach! 💯
He seems like a really good coach. Awesome seeing you here Matt. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Ton Sports lol 😂
Bruh we swept antonelli
Timmy Macgregor nice!
Love your channel! And was highly impressed by this small video clip. I can't imagine the amount of great drills that that kids going to your camps get to see from your experiences.
Played 3rd most of my life. Never knew I was doing this wrong that entire time, but the way he explained it made it so simple.
Dude i LOVE coaching like this... makes you actually excited and want to play the game better...
Chris Allen that is so true

Dickerson handles a fungo better than anyone I've ever seen. Wow, what control. Amazing teacher too.
Ik I was more impressed with his fungi skills than the skills taught
I always think these players have played so bbn much basevall they would know common sense techniques like tgis why have bbn coach es
That's basic. But when the ball is traveling at 95 mile per hours is a different story
@@mickeymelendez1605 Basic.? He's hitting line shots 90 feet directly at a guy. No misses.
My coach can do a good fungo
Rumour has it that Nunez still has not spoke
Hehe when a great Master is teaching I don't speak much either . I go ok , and nod.
Ig the subject is tactical,or formartions , then there is more room for questions, debate or opinions.
I don't think he speaks any English.
The Stove Show he doesn’t know much English
Blueshirt yes he does
Blueshirt he understands bobby dickerson which means that he can speak it

Do you guys realize how difficult it is to bat a ball directly to someone every single time? He makes it look so easy, mad respect.
You hit enough fungo and you get the hang of it.
Dude is a major league coach for a reason
@@ObiWanKenobi And has been for 25 years.
Played baseball for 14 years and this is the coaching I never knew I needed
If only youtube was around back in your prime :)
Good technique.
The ball is traveling faster than your gloved hand can. Let the ball do the work.
Fundamentals.
Matthew Bradley he broke it down from a fundament standpoint
Spot on!
What do you mean by let the ball do the work?
Jesus Rodriguez he means let the ball travel to you. Don’t go get the ball and try to bring it back to make the tag. Let the ball do the work by letting the ball come to you
Troy Wilson oh okay! That makes sense thank you
I just want to take a moment and appreciate the accuracy of the throws and hits by the coach
Not orioles fan but this video is SICK! Good on this club to show the truth about Pro athletes constant struggle to profect skills.
That's a great point! MLB's gotta get better with the marketing of their players. This is an awesome step in the right direction
perfect*
This coach is a great teacher and communicator.
Played, coached my whole life, never heard a couple of these golden nuggets before. Good sh*t
Right! Doesn't it make you want to go out and teach it to a kid asap..
Played for Bobby D in AA , great dude who loves his baseball .
it’s amazing to see professionals coaching he is already an insane athlete the fact his is established in the league but the coach is still able to expose his weaknesses that’s just great coaching
love how his coach is so passionate about getting him to get it right!..........always practice until you can't get it wrong!
Great coaching is mesmerizing. Even though I'm not that interested in baseball I couldn't stop watching.
True test of a good athlete. The coach blatantly laughs at him when he messes up and the guy doesn’t even change his facial expression... in fact he looks more determined and goes for it harder... that’s a coachable guy. 👏
The Orioles were 47-115 in 2018. Their team fielding percentage was 13th out of 15th in the AL. Nothing like good coaching!
😂
shut the fuck up internet dweeb
Yeah 2018 the house imploded. Not this coaches fault.
Dan Cobra Man exactly lol

love this type of content... wish we could get more of it
sparKos it will teach us a lot more right
Love that coaching. Wish I had someone like that!
I like how Nunez is playing with the dirt
this is what makes Baez so good at the no look tags. he lets the ball pass his face and then drops the glove straight down, always making it the same spot
Its wild that in any sport at the highest level you start getting to the most minute details and that you have to learn all of those.
Nothing like the fundamentals. Beautiful
Bubble Vest this is a little more than the fundamentals. None the less it was beautiful
I love instant feedback drills. That was awesome
Outstanding coaching
Love that custom O's ball bag; and I'm a Reds fan!
S W - Am I wrong or does Nunez STILL owe me a quicker tag ? What do you think ?
I love how casually he’s hitting those balls to third base
Damn I miss practices like this
Love yall so much. I love seeing professionals train!!!!
Good to see that a pro will put his ego aside to get better. I need to do this more often
"Nah thats a good one, show me a bad one" that line got me lmao
i didnt know i needed this type of content
Wish there were more coaches like this growing up. Who else want to to be out there doing those drills and I’m 38 lol
I don’t even like baseball, but big respect for this type of videos
Thumbs up 👍 for the coah for hitting the ball right in the range where the third baseman was
Getting some of the best coaching
: playing with dirt
No, he’s listening.

This guy puts the fun in fundamentals.
I play third and this is rlly helping me
I love to learn and get better, not a better feeling in the world. I always look to be better than what I was the day before.
Didnt think I would learn anything from youtube but here we are
Continue to love these videos. More, more, more!
as a casual fan even for the coach. i couldnt imagine being able to consistently hit the ball down that third base line like that lol
I love how he has him do the wrong thing so he knows what it feels like
I like my brother in the background kicking it with that hottie.
He's the hero of this story
2:09 just an old lady man. don't be so charged
@@traininggrounds9450 "Old lady"? She's MAYBE 35.

Wow ! Step by step practice, that's good to respond quickly!! Very good!!
I wish I had these type of coaches growing up. I ended up with the ones that told you that your swing plane needs to come down at the ball, hit the top half of the ball, and raise your back elbow as high as you can.
This actually helped tag at 3rd
that is some precision fungoing
I have to say he gave good advice 👍🏻
Bobby Dickerson is the type of coach I aspire to be!
Good coaching.
this helped me lowkey
"You ain't that cute"
It’s real reassuring that even big leaguers practice the fundamentals
This is how you learn. You shut up and listen then apply. Nuni got heart.
Hold the tab in case of overslide.
what kind of rawlongs glove does nunez have?
Let’s Go O’s I can feel our culture changing in a good way
Greatest fungo hitter in the league
Great work!!
I love the way Bobby works with his players. When I first saw this I thought Renato was disrespectful by not looking at Bobby and tossing rocks, etc. Turns out he is in the minors now.
If grown men worth millions of dollars are humble enough to listen and learn. We should all be able humble ourselves when knowledge is the result!
Great lesson and awesome🍦
And im training to be a 3B so this is helpful
I remember my high school coach always barking “let it travel”
Wish i had a coach that would work with me like that
J R - Better hurry ! They hire women now in place of Coach Dickerson . . . .
When you can hit that many balls right to the bag same spot you can say anything you want. Great coaching here!
Love how he makes him do it the wrong way to show the difference. What a great teacher!
Road to 1k subs, help ya boi out!

I can hear my old baseball coach now......."Where's my fungo!!"
That’s why Javy Baez is always safe, he’s getting around these robot tags. Generations change, ADJUST PEOPLE!!
I agree, there shouldn't be one tag that you're married to. However, letting the ball get to you is absolutely good advice. The ball can fly a lot faster than you can swing your arm.
who's the minx in the back?
"imma get some concrete" 😂😂
Man I miss practicing shortstop
Also, I never knew 6 inches could be so pivotal
Cool stuff
Twins fan from Minnesota in here but I've always liked this team growing up I subscribed
Why does he have to tag? Doesn’t he just have to be touching the bag for it to count as out?
Only on a force play, runners would be on 1st and 2nd in this instance. If there's only one runner on it's not a force, and you would have to tag a runner trying to get into 3rd base out.
very good :) thank you coach bobby dickerson :)
can we talk about the fungo skills?! hahaha
Dickerson is surgical with a fungo. Amazing
wow Amazing tec.
That cool to watch
We gotta talk about the placement on the ball 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Like i told Trey, “ you ain’t that cute don’t be afraid of the ball” is just one of those Saying that means more lol
I don’t even play third but I did learn something
What a coach
I wish I could hit fungo yhat well
i like Tato, so keep our Renato!
