I can’t believe I received that knowledge in baseball for free (minus cellular data and time spent watching). I appreciate this and my sons will be doing the first and third guy’s drills. Good stuff
These drills are pretty much all drills that I have seen before, but the way these guys explain and narrate them is phenomenal. You know its gold when they can talk about something you already know and you end up understanding it better.
I absolutely love the Griffey drill! I played in the Mariners Organization from 94-99 and had numerous conversations with Jr. about hitting and he’d say he just “ walks away” from his hand and his hands naturally goes into launch position. It was fun seeing that sweet swing in spring training!
@@pamelaladner9459 how did the drill go, it looks good for the hips rotation but it doesn't create load separation. Did it help your daughter improve her swing.
@@ramotav honestly dont remember. My daughter was a senior then. I remember her going through a slump but I don't remember what drills I used to help her. She wound up batting over 500 because she got an award for it, but whether I incorporated this drill or not, I can't remember.
Thank you Coach, this is valuable information for all age hitters. The three coaches also gave very specific hitting drills. Will definitely implement these drills with my youth and high school team. Thank you once again.
I am going into middle school baseball and this helps me get a little better [edit 6 months later I was on the bench for most of the year and now I'm back on this video]
@@LandonChurch15 everybody i am sorry for saying that that is cap. But I do think saying that I am an idiot is very mean. Come to channel and I will show you my videos. and songs.
Guys who don’t get it will actually think the player is late on the ball with that correct swing path! Really their gonna do so much better against off speed and pitches away .
My son is really struggling with what coach Headley was saying at the end. He goes out and then cuts across the ball. Almost as if you were trying to create a curve in ping pong. Anyone have any other drills we could do to work on this? Thanks.
The best instructor there is the MRI of Hitting lol: the first one from Upfronting. He can pick your swing apart and put back together in a way that you would never imagine
Approx. Yes. That's why first tips on balance and athletic position are so important. Wind up or stretch..batter has to work with lead leg depth, heel up & down, time him. Mirror him
All great stuff, Let's try standing on back foot only, coil up Swing from 4-5 o'clock to 11o clock position see how that feels looks Williams ll James r IBEW local 94 international
Question: im 30 years old, i live in norway, with no experience with baseball. Is it any possibility to ever play in the mlb league with the correct training?
First two drills very effective the next two drills what is the point of it? keeping your weight balance or what is it ? And the last one don’t like at all doesn’t make sense and can create bad habits of uppercutting and dipping the shoulder
Great stuff. What are your thoughts on not striding? Just a wide stance and use the heel strike to fire? I’m trying to help my 9 year old so I want to simplify and help him with his timing issues
I see a lot of young hitters release their back foot at the end of the swing and step on the plate. I figure it's from really driving their hips.. Any issues with that?
What do you recommend to do with smaller stature players to produce more “pop” in their swing? Thanks for all the videos. Really appreciate everything your page is doing for coaches & players by providing valuable information that we can implement into our daily routines.
We do a drill our coach taught us, where he ties a rope at waist height, and we have to swing the bat, but the bat has to remain in contact with the rope throughout the swing. It really helps to hit the ball with better elevation.
Balance is key to everything... I used to give golf lessons and the first tip offered in this video is exactly how I would present golf swing theory with new clients. "How would you catch a medicine ball?"... get there and swing.
Just a thought...is anyone using a bat in practice with the thinnest barrel possible and the heaviest bat so in games they are better with lighter bats or bats with larger barrel surface. Eg like stick ball vs real bat?
Hi Coach Madden my name is Brennan Willis and I have problem I have a nervous habit of sliding m y back foot right before the pitch is thrown ants tips on how to prevent that from happening thanks for all your awesome videos.
Fun to come across this video. We’re from Nolensville and wish we could have met you when you were here. I know Joey well and glad he brought Hit Lab here. Thanks again for everything, your videos have been very helpful over the years.
The first guys just swung on a tee and talked. Telling kids what to do only works so so in my experience. The third guy gave actual drills so the kids could see tangible results. Love that!!
One of the really good things to notice here is the big toe of that back foot is almost directly down into the ground, like a spike. This is usually a very good sign for your swing mechanics.
I wish the orange shirt guy was my coach, he seems like he could help me hit more homers.
He’s the man!
Man that disconnect drill is crazy smart. I love all these drills but that one I’ve never seen before. Thanks for sharing guys.
I can’t believe I received that knowledge in baseball for free (minus cellular data and time spent watching). I appreciate this and my sons will be doing the first and third guy’s drills. Good stuff
May I question why not the second guys drills?
@@chancey540 maybe his son doesn’t need work on that

Ahh man that’s the coolest! He was so fun to watch
I love the mariners, you were on an amazing team 🫡
I love the marneirs I follow them like crazy
Ive played for fun but now ive had my first training. But this griffy drill is gonna help me alot.
But i think that pvc drill is great
That last drill with the ball on the shoulder.. that’s gold
Going to have to use that one with my daughter and her teammates.
My man needs to not come from his Lumberjack job lol
Looks like a lot of pop outs to me.

Casey Smith is the best in the game right now. A+ stuff
John Burke he is the man!
this helps so much. i’m going into high school next year and i’m dedicated towards baseball. thank you this is amazing.
Good luck bro I’m going nex year too and I’m dedicated towards baseball
Good luck bro i made the freshmen team just stay out your own head thats what killed alot of good players

Same and good luck
Good luck kid!
I am in kid pitch
🙌
Guy #2 and #3 have no clue what they are talking about.
The 3rd guy drill has made me realize what I’ve been doing wrong at the batting cages. Can’t believe this video was free!

That first swing......... damn.

Swing path is so important !!! If the kid can master that from a young age he will crush !
is good.

How many reps at each drill? All before seeing live BP correct?

Without youtube I would be nothing thanks for the drill it really helped
⚡⚡⚡ Thanks for the time ⌚
When do you teach to stride? I was told, as soon as the pitcher moves, the batter moves. Can you elaborate?
Approx. Yes. That's why first tips on balance and athletic position are so important. Wind up or stretch..batter has to work with lead leg depth, heel up & down, time him. Mirror him
I like the PVC guy in the end
All great stuff,
Let's try standing on back foot only, coil up

dude the second guy.. his drip is on point. the shoes, the hat and the swing. swagger 1000!!
Question: im 30 years old, i live in norway, with no experience with baseball. Is it any possibility to ever play in the mlb league with the correct training?
Excellent they went thru different swings, yeah! Kids there teaching you how to break thier records, listen!
Thank you
BABYNUTZZ 313 You’re welcome
Great drills. love the ones using the PVC pipe. Lots of reference to "the boys", just remember girls play ball too ;)
Why don’t you have your normal swing like the Griffey drill aka babe Ruth drill? They were human and were pretty successful
Hi God bless have a good day
Perfect tips from skilled guys. Thank you.
Sup

I was lucky I grew up facing two very capable left hand pitchers
My best asset as a pitcher was being left handed. 2nd was my changeup and then slider
Casey is alpha
I hit a homerun out of the park
Awesome!!!
Great stuff. What are your thoughts on not striding? Just a wide stance and use the heel strike to fire? I’m trying to help my 9 year old so I want to simplify and help him with his timing issues
I mean, all ages is a stretch. I came here for tips with 8 year olds. lol. Good video though. I'll use some of this for myself.
Cool. Thanks for the great drills. How long should the PVC pipe be, relative to a batters height?
Very useful
Connected turn insight is really. That would mean you are showing hips and shoulder movement to hit the ball?
I see a lot of young hitters release their back foot at the end of the swing and step on the plate. I figure it's from really driving their hips.. Any issues with that?
Weired I hit lefties better from the left. Acevedo had a wicked slider, smiling it would move wicked. Hard to hit him. Big up Al!
Do you guys offer boot camps, something where we can come to a 2-4 day clinic?
When he says the Griffey drill it makes me wonder are you talking about Ken Griffey or his father?😂
Keep bat in hand drills. When do you use pvc in baseball games. Over kill
Oak tree
Great techniques! Thank you guys!
HELLO
What do you recommend to do with smaller stature players to produce more “pop” in their swing? Thanks for all the videos. Really appreciate everything your page is doing for coaches & players by providing valuable information that we can implement into our daily routines.
Get in the gym if they are of age. Best thing to do for power. Everything else is secondary.
@@YouGoPro Hey thank you, what do you feel is of age?
@@joeray8868 I say 14, but that's just my opinion. A lot of it depends on how much testosterone they have, which varies from person to person.
We do a drill our coach taught us, where he ties a rope at waist height, and we have to swing the bat, but the bat has to remain in contact with the rope throughout the swing. It really helps to hit the ball with better elevation.
Great job Coaches!!! The PVC drill and the ball drill are great!!!
This maid my kid a star
He was like Randy Johnson
What is the thing on the top of the tee called
good
the last guy did'nt really help i don't have any of that stuff but the rest were good thank you.
Think DiMaggio
Balance is key to everything... I used to give golf lessons and the first tip offered in this video is exactly how I would present golf swing theory with new clients. "How would you catch a medicine ball?"... get there and swing.
lol
The PVC drill and ball drill fantastic. Thanks
Love these drills!
So good...
Hmmmm....."Hitting a baseball is the difficult thing in sports" .Then face Jimmy Anderson under clouds
Excellent content. 👏👏👏
Just a thought...is anyone using a bat in practice with the thinnest barrel possible and the heaviest bat so in games they are better with lighter bats or bats with larger barrel surface. Eg like stick ball vs real bat?
if you practice with a heavier bat in practice then you will swing early in a game they are 2x more practices then there are games.
How long dose the pvc pipe new to be for age 9 to 11 year old kids?
What happened to choppen tire to start
FUEGO!!!! Woo! Love it!!!!
Chanterprise It’s Mr. Ron Howard himself @Chanterprise
YouGoProBaseball 🤣🤣🤣
This has helped me so much in baseball and I am now one of the best hitters on the team! THANK YOU!!
All I want to do this year is hit live shots up the middle so I can get on base for my team 0:00
Y’all are the best people ever
This video is gold. Thank you
JeyRod you’re welcome
Really good advice from those guys 💯
Great video. Curious what size/length is the pvc for 50/50 drill?
John Fonseca 5 ft

Is that Dan Blizarian lmao, kinda looks like him
Thanx a lot 4 ur drills
You’re welcome
For the 50/50 PVC drill, how long is the PVC that needs to be used? 5ft? 6ft?
Don’t know if I quite understand the pvc drill I’m sure watching it another time will help me.
The first guys just swung on a tee and talked. Telling kids what to do only works so so in my experience. The third guy gave actual drills so the kids could see tangible results. Love that!!
is this the same casey smith that makes the funny tweets on twitter
Where can I get a ball like the one used on the connection ball drill?
ugoprobaseball.com/product/connection-ball-12/
If I hear some yokel say "Hitting a baseball is the most difficult thing to do in sports...by far" one more frigging time!
Hey, that's my coach
What do you guys film with? The video quality is A+!
Really Enjoy PVC path drill. Great Knowledge!
Good tips for the kids that play like me
Do y'all know who Doc Yeager is that's my baseball coach he coached pro for the Padres
Very good stuff guys, working with kids daily and these are def some of the most common issues we see.
I just think when you land and finish’s your swing think your head and both feet making a triangle
I hate when people say hitting a baseball is the hardest thing in sports. Totally not true.
Its one of the hard things but not the hardest
Appreciate it guys! My son (11yrs) wants to play so good starting point for hitting. Thx
One of the really good things to notice here is the big toe of that back foot is almost directly down into the ground, like a spike. This is usually a very good sign for your swing mechanics.
I'm studying this to teach my 10 year old he's really intimidated and can't seem to hit the ball but no coach has taught him
Is Casey Smith in Alabama?
