Hey why not just focus on the ball when doing tee work and not pretend it is being pitched? I have noticed that young players miss the ball frequently when they pretend they're looking at the pitcher instead of just focusing on the ball.When hitting live we try and see the ball the moment the ball leaves the pitcher's hand.
@@tava7886 Hi I believe I have an answer to your problem from personal experiences. When you look straight down at the ball on the tee some people will tend to get in a bad habit of leaning over towards the ball when they're swinging;therefore, they will often regurgitate that same action on the field causing them to have bad posture while they're in there attack position. I personally believe there's nothing wrong with looking down at the ball;however, kids will forget about it while they're hitting by themselves and often get in bad habits. People please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure my facts are straight. From random 14 yr old kid.
Josephic Jo you make a point, I guess every mind is different and therefore some of the things that might affect me won’t affect you. GOD Bless Brother 🙏👍⚾️
His father made him. Coming from work 8hrs plus driving to the field and pitching his son 120 balls every night! Kudos mr freeman, my hats off to you as a father.
ItsAllyn Clash of Clans Fortnite & more! Your stupid what do you mean he isn’t consistent he had a .309 average and last year with injury had a .307 and the year before that .302 .300 average is good and he consistently hits well and is good defensively so don’t say anything about my man Freddie freeman he is in my opinion the best hitter in the national league
I rlly like his hitting philosophy he’s just trying to be relaxed and hit hard line drives where most guys try to hit big fly balls and they also worry to much bout launch angle
Freddie was my neighbor growing up and we played little league together. He left our T-ball team and moved to AA half way through the year because he was tearing it up and jacking everything for a homer. Natural talent and unmatched work ethic. Glad to see him succeeding as one of the game's best.
Great video, very helpful I would be lost without UA-cam. Can't afford private lessons at $50 an hour so my son and I come here and it has always worked for us. Smartest and best baseball guys in the world are all right here just a click away......just got to know what your player is doing wrong and how to grab the information and then apply it.
Everybody saying that Paul byrd is annoying. He's actually a very genuine guy. He stopped and gave me an autograph when I was a child and chatted for a bit. And he was with his wife going to dinner.
Awesome stuff. I played little league and never went any farther but I love reading about the game and watching stuff like this. Just goes to show that the game never gets old.
the interviewer was awesome in the way he asked pertinent question and paced the interview...English is not my native tongue thats why most of the time I have a hard time understanding interviews..but this interview with Freddie Freeman was not only informative..p is also entertaining...thanks so much..please let me know the name of the interviewer...im a big fan
Nathanael Lingerfelt lol ask the stadium camera guys how that works. He destroyed the glass cover with a foul ball. Nothing to do with this video I know but it was cool to watch
I remember a YES Network special on Tino Martinez and he stressed the importance of hitting off a tee also. Great video. Kids need to understand the method behind the madness. Hard work.
My son smashes inside pitches but struggles letting the outside pitches get deep , so glad to hear that even the pros have to work on it daily, we will start working these drills now , really appreciate these videos because we can’t afford lessons and I trust the info of a pro!
i have his poster from when he played for the Myrtle Beach pelicans and I got it when I was in kindergarten i still have it on my hall and I'm in 7th grade now
one thing i hate doing is hitting off tees. so i bought a tee and now i use it in my warm ups to help me when i struggle to hit the ball where it is. if i am pulling outside or slicing inside the tee helps me adjust again
i can say to this day i have found i love the tee, and i found it to really help with my bat path. now in training or pre at bats i imagine having the tee set up where i want my pitch and invision my bat going to the ball cleanly. and ive hit a lot of balls flat and hard because of it
Ya know what would’ve been REALLY outstanding..? 1) if on that last swing you let’s us SEE him swing instead of just seeing him barely begin his swing and then cut to the ball on the tee and the bat coming through and hitting the ball. THAT would’ve been cool. 2) if the “Host” guy would NOT have been trying so hard to prove to the guest that he “knew shit” and just been quiet so we could listen to the guest instead of listening to the guest continually being interrupted by the Host. THAT would’ve been REALLY awesome!:)
Since his front foot ain't down way too early like 99.9% of you do, he still has a way to drive hard nearly any pitch in the strike zone. Except high and in. Because staying inside the ball too long with an upper cut bat path prevents him from getting his bat on the pitch. The other 8 areas of the hitting zone he can still mash the ball with his only slightly hampered kinetic chain.
I actually called a Freeman home run down to the pitch sitting behind Braves home plate. You should’ve seen the guy’s face sitting next to me… he couldn’t believe it! ⚾️
Ive noticed theres not many videos on bat angle when it comes to inside and outside pitches ..of course outside pitch let it get deep in the zone .. so im thinking knob of the bat is not dropped down as quik as an inside pitch??

Nothing warms my heart more than hearing a man talk about the time he spent with his father growing!
“When we finished baseball practice, everybody left and I stayed” the reason why he made it to where he is !
I just hit off a tee in the backyard everyday for probably 100-200 swings average a day.
its funny its the opposite for him now he always leaves practice early in his golf cart
No

Probably the most underrated player in baseball
jruedy01 only cause the braves are starting to get good again
How is he under rated? He's the 2nd rated 1st baseman in the league right now and a very well recognized batter
ItsAllyn Clash of Clans Fortnite & more!

ItsAllyn Clash of Clans Fortnite & more! It’s not just about home runs
streaky. Should be hitting .320, 40HR, not .310, 20HR but goes into long power slumps.
I rlly like his hitting philosophy he’s just trying to be relaxed and hit hard line drives where most guys try to hit big fly balls and they also worry to much bout launch angle
And that's why he's better than them. I can only imagine how many coaches have tried to get him to change that approach over the years.
This is something EVERY hitter at EVERY age should see and make a part of his or her routine.
Outstanding.👍😃⚾️

Tyler Cigich what state was it in prove it
What town huh
Orange, CA North Sunrise little league at Handy Elementary. Tee ball Red Sox around 1995-96.
So he jumped from 6 yr olds to 9-10 yr olds? Was he a really big kid?
Was it good genes? Was he naturally athletic?
Great video, very helpful

@Jeff B 100% Untrue... I know Joe won't see this but maybe others will - do NOT listen to Jeff - he's totally wrong w/his statement.
Jeff B
plenty of players excell without any help from past mlb players
Jeff B did you comment on your own comment get a life
Jeff B Jeff is a douche HES just like trump
The world needs more people like Freddie Freeman
Everybody saying that Paul byrd is annoying. He's actually a very genuine guy. He stopped and gave me an autograph when I was a child and chatted for a bit. And he was with his wife going to dinner.
love his stance and his swing. One of the most underrated player in the mlb.
Pure ball player. Honor to cheer for such a good dude
Freddie seems like a humble master and he certainly has a Beautiful swing.
Love how Freddie bows his head to George Brett, referring to him as a Hall of Famer. But we all know Freddie is going to the Hall.
Awesome stuff. I played little league and never went any farther but I love reading about the game and watching stuff like this. Just goes to show that the game never gets old.

Every young player needs to develop this kind of swing and attitude. Freeman is a great hard working player
the interviewer was awesome in the way he asked pertinent question and paced the interview...English is not my native tongue thats why most of the time I have a hard time understanding interviews..but this interview with Freddie Freeman was not only informative..p is also entertaining...thanks so much..please let me know the name of the
interviewer...im a big fan
Paul Byrd
I’m not he’s kinda annoying
I was in that sixth period class with him, and 3rd period. One of the best high school teams ever. #ElModenabaseball
I played for Tustin..you guys kicked our asses!
Curious what type of person/teammate he is or was, I have heard both sides nice guy and very annoying guy what do you think?
KB Adams nice guy, he seems really nice 👍
Super interview here for young players to understand how/why to use a tee and how/why to stay inside the baseball.
Love how he said he a MVP type player now 2020 and he won NL MVP.
excellent lesson on staying inside the ball and how to do it using the tee. Freeman is one of the best in staying inside the baseball.
He’s my favorite baseball player
@wesley the krusher no
After hitting dingers vs the Dodgers Robots, this was recommended
Same bro
lol who won
Yeah how’d that go? 😂😂
Still lose bum
Now a champion.! Well deserved
Everyone is hating on Paul Byrd but he’s the most genuine out of all the fox sports guys.... he’s actually a really big brave fan
I love Freddie Freeman
Such great advice that players can implement right away. Thanks Freddy
Gosh dang it put the camera behind Freddie when he swings 😫
Nathanael Lingerfelt lol ask the stadium camera guys how that works. He destroyed the glass cover with a foul ball. Nothing to do with this video I know but it was cool to watch
Dude I thought I was the only one... I was getting anxiety lmao.
@@Beer_Me nobody hits a foul ball off a tee
@@Beer_Me can't hit it backwards on off a tee lol
@@dawgsfan1196 its Freddie. He can do anything. Pretty sure he could be captain America
You're a Hall of Famer also Freddie 😊
Great video. This is a player who is one of the best in the game and people should watch him.
How bout that walk off grand slam?
I remember a YES Network special on Tino Martinez and he stressed the importance of hitting off a tee also. Great video. Kids need to understand the method behind the madness. Hard work.
This man changed my life on baseball man. He’s the reason why I watch it
Freddie Freeman = Class act!
"If you pull a ribcage I'm out of the job" - Byrd
Yeah, and out of the state of Georgia.
What a humble, friendly and funny player. I support Angels but man I really like "Frederic" so much.
Freddie freeman is a great guy you know
Thank for the help Freddie that helped and you are my hero
Freddie is the man. Great video.
He his the Best!⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
A cool segment to see but way too much butt kissing
Great video of Freddie doin' what Freddie do.
Congratulations champ.
U could tell this guy was a little annoying for Freddie lol
Jonathan Brady Paul Byrd is annoying to everyone.
Ahh Freddie never gets annoyed, his just a particular star.
Btw it is Paul Byrd and Freddie does not get annoyed about talking about baseball.
I didn’t get that vibe at all
When Freddie first came on the scene I remember thinking "I hate this guy because he is awesome! So scary as a cub fan." He's one of my favorites.
8:50 he just say “tear a rib cage”
My son smashes inside pitches but struggles letting the outside pitches get deep , so glad to hear that even the pros have to work on it daily, we will start working these drills now , really appreciate these videos because we can’t afford lessons and I trust the info of a pro!
What a great player and person
love being braves fan. we had the privilege of watching Hank, Chipper, and now Freeman. great hitters.
Yes. Don’t forget David Justice and Fred McGriff.
Now Ronald Acuna jr too
Dale Murphy
Such a sound and concise approach to the plate.
Good stuff man. Thank you. Any more vids to watch?

Freddie wish such a cool guy. Great player of course too
Freddie has a textbook swing. Beautiful.
My god that swing is beautiful. I wish I looked like that in the box
Luv this guy, Definitely top 10 player in the game. Definitely #1 humble guy in the game!!

Talking about Brett as a HOF and now he’s a guaranteed one too
Dee donde estas tienes que batear a los tres lados del diamante ♦️ excelente enseñanza fredie freman 😊
“The adrenaline of the game will make you swing harder. That’s where the opposite field home runs come from” this guy is a true professional.
Ya know what would’ve been REALLY outstanding..?

Best hitter ever
He is so good and my Favorite
The tip from Chipper and now Freeman I believe is worth some money. Keep your hands on the line people.
Freddie is a cool cat.
Freddie freeman is my favorite player

the kinetic chain?
Well this aged well
Great Information! Thanks so much!
Not a Bravos fan but learned something from this video ... thanks Freddie
I luv the effortless swing #talent
Great insight Freddie!
Best player ever ❤️❤️❤️
"Keep your hands on the line!" Chipper Jones 7:43
Have fun in LA 🥺
I actually called a Freeman home run down to the pitch sitting behind Braves home plate. You should’ve seen the guy’s face sitting next to me… he couldn’t believe it! ⚾️
We just love Freddie!!! MVFree indeed. Thank y'all for sharing!!
Freddie!!!!!
Love Freddie home he braves for life
Dudes a beast
hitting a 11" & 12" 44cor/375comp ball, is 300 ft off the tee any good? for some reason i cannot break that 300 ft barrier. 325 after the roll.
Good guy to watch.
After Cabrera gets his 3000th hit, I believe Freddie Freeman will be next.
here in November 2024 ahah WHAT A BEAST!!!!
Ive noticed theres not many videos on bat angle when it comes to inside and outside pitches ..of course outside pitch let it get deep in the zone .. so im thinking knob of the bat is not dropped down as quik as an inside pitch??
Hit buckets with his dad.. Love that.
