Hey Coach, I am Mattes from Germany. I am 18 Years old and my dream is to become a Baseballplayer in the USA. Ur videos are a big help for me to become a better player for my hometeam. Thank u for that. Keep ur good content and stay safe!
Hey coach. Coaching 9U. Any suggestions as to how long the player should keep both hands holding the bat? Or is it wise to always keep both hands on the bat at this age even after the follow through?
The most important thing whether batting or in field is keeping your eye on the ball. The kids are sick of hearing it, I'm sick of saying it, if you don't take eye off ball you will catch anything that comes at you and you will hit anything that comes at you..... DO NOT take eye off ball.
Excellent video Coach Justin! You put out the best hitting videos of anyone I've seen. I shared the Yes, Yes, No video with the kids on our team, and it helped a lot. I'm gonna share this one as well and will probably come back to it often. Thanks for the excellent content!
One of the biggest things I like to explain to young baseball players is what I call the “TV” swing. They tend to do what they see on TV where it looks like the hitter is swinging away and watching the ball to see where it goes, instead of keeping their heads down even after the ball is hit. Basically showing then In Super Slow motion what it looks like even after contact is made, where it shows the players heads still down and looking at where contact was made even after contact, Then they can look to see where the ball goes. And it really helps them.
Hey Coach Justin, I am playing in a college summer league and I havent played in over a year due to COVID canceling my season. Hitting has been hard, especially with kids having some velo. The velo isnt the problem for me right now though. I keep striking out and being out in front with all my swings and its hard for me to even make contact. I used to be such a good hitter but Im really in a slump trying to get back into things. If you have any tips on how to sit back and make more contact Id really appreciate it.
Can u do a video on field positions/placement. If ur a first time coach and need help assigning or positioning players. What do u recommend or how would u explain the outfield to first time players.
How would you describe staying connected and pushing through the ball to younger guys, like 8u? As a (slow pitch) softball player back in the day, we were always taught to get our hands out. So while I'm understanding the concept of staying connected, I'm struggling with when/how to teach them when to extend, with words they understand! I know it depends on the placement of the pitch essentially, but how might you teach or describe the process of staying connected and then pushing through the ball to the young kiddos? Thank you so much for these videos! As a mama of 3 boys (and a coach for 8u) I use everything I learn to try and help my boys!
I have a question when you’re going to two but had I need to learn how to keep my eye on the ball because I Keep getting distracted with noise around me so I need to learn how to keep my eyes on the ball
can you help me , i had a broken wrist so i missed almost the whole season and i can crush the ball in the batting cages but when im in a game i strike out every at bat im 0-7
Face more live pitching. That helps identifying strikes vs balls and more important, timing. Cage hitting is great for sequence but really doesn't help with what he talks about dancing with a pitcher (timing). It also doesn't help pitch recognition.
I need some insight and it may be a good topic for a video as well! I have searched the web and can't seem to find answers. Sorry for the spiel here but context may help you understand where I'm coming from. I was an above avg ball player from ages 5-15. I was a pitcher/catcher up until i started travel ball at age 12. Coach put me in the outfield bc I was the fastest on the team and had a cannon of an arm. Unfortunately, I had to stop playing at 15 because my father passed away, and my mom was, let's say un-supportive. I'm now 27 and want to start playing again. We have a regional MSBL 28+ league I can get into next spring. I'm thinking the best route may be to get back into pitching. The league uses DHs and I think it may take too long to learn to hit well again. That all being said, is training for 1 year a realistic goal to start playing again? What are your recommendations for adults to learn pitching (again?). How many days is safe to throw and how many balls/day? Thoughts on velocity goals (I think the avgs may be around 80mph but I'm going to some games next week to see). How long should adults throw for before learning breaking balls? How long to get your swing back as an adult? I think it would be helpful to make a video on "how to get back into baseball as an adult". I appreciate anyone's insight. Stay safe all!
Hey Coach Justin! Any chance you could make a video of swing analysis where like we send in videos to say Instagram and you give each video a couple of tips and move to the next! Could that happen?!
