This was a complete and total knowledge bomb. One of the best I've watched. I never bought in to one handed drills but now I see them from a totally different perspective. Great video!!!
My son is 9 and your videos have been invaluable in helping me understand how to help him improve his swing. Out of curiosity, with all of this swing path stuff and keeping the bat in the zone for a long time, why do you think Ks are at an all-time high in the MLB?
Is there a reason why he is using a full length bat? I know many players that do this drill with a mini bat. Is there more of a benefit doing it with a regular bat
Do you think sometimes these drills screw up a swing? I know its a drill but his hips are not working like they do in his real swing, at contact. His hands are ahead of his hips, It looks very handsy and like it might mess of the naturalness of his swing. I guess if this is a drill he has done in the past it should not effect his numbers. Just see some guys putting up godd numbers try new drills and their numbers go down. Great Video either way and input!
I think it depends. There are certain drills that focus on very specific parts of the swing. Too much of one drill could potentially hurt other parts of the swing.
It you're in a game it depends on the player's skills and the situation. If you're practicing, you need to practice at different intensity levels to get a feel for your swing.
I'd say the swing is a bit more under control than a game swing. Focus on trying to get top hand palm up as soon as possible. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Matt I used to get the alerts to your new videos every time you posted a new one. I enjoy them now they all of a sudden stopped now I have a ton of catching up to do what gives????
In a load position. If you think in your head “knob to the ball/or hands to the ball” will your barrel automatically be on plane? I was watching your video on Carlos Correa and it looks like his knob was going to the ball causing his barrel to be on plane.
The knob does need to turn up a bit to get the barrel to turn up into the ball. If you go barrel down to the ball and don't allow it to turn up then you will probably hit down through the ball too much. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
I play baseball and if u have a two handed swing it makes your swing more circular. If you finish with one hand you are going to be able to extend out and make contact with the ball better . You want to make contact out in front more
Only adjustment I make is trying to start earlier and make sure I am loaded and ready to hit on time. If you feel stiff you are probably trying to swing harder. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey Matt, what are good drills for kids that are pretty good to contact but tend to roll their hands over early after contact and hit alot of grounders to third and SS?
I think it starts with understanding what in the swing is causing it. I've put a bunch of drills up here, but they can all technically be done incorrectly. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks and I’m happy they help! I have a video coming soon on that topic. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Should the barrel path make a Nike logo?!
Love this, thank you!
No problem! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I think you can do it both ways. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Should a player be swinging as hard as they can to try to hit hit the ball or tone back the aggression and just swing to make solid contact?
Yes

Matt do you think one handed finishes can lead to slumps prolonged and inconsistency
I play baseball and if u have a two handed swing it makes your swing more circular. If you finish with one hand you are going to be able to extend out and make contact with the ball better . You want to make contact out in front more
No I think it's personal preference honestly. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey Matt when I going against fast pitches I kinda get stiff but when it’s normal pitchers I’m really loose any tips
Only adjustment I make is trying to start earlier and make sure I am loaded and ready to hit on time. If you feel stiff you are probably trying to swing harder. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Any tips on throwing
