This is one of the best explanations of how to hit a baseball that I’ve seen. Appropriate for any age player too.
Nice work, Justin.
What an awesome compliment! Thank you SO much!
You are one of the best coaches on the internet
+Phil Bourdon Thanks man!!
Yeah you are right
Everything you say is correct. My son is on a travel ball team, and hits a lot of home runs for how team by doing what you state.
That's awesome to hear about his success! Thanks for the support!
I thought I was a good player growing up. I see though I never had proper instruction. Thank you for the videos. I'm coach "coach pitch" little league this season and we are heading to the batting cage now.
Awesome video! I showed this to my 11-year-old son to help him understand the mechanics of a baseball swing and he now understands it more clearly. Thanks for making this.
I think its so valuable to see all methods of baseball mechanics/teaching and choose to what fits your talent and ability. Stay in the game and mechanics are so important in pitching, fielding, hitting, running and knowledge of the game!
You don’t even know how much I appreciate you taking the time to teach others how to bat properly! I am a good fielder but terrible batter, I have trouble making contact with the ball. I have confidence that this vid will help me!
You are so awesome. I recently had an arm injury and was out for 3 months and took another 3 months out of baseball so it was 6 months in all. In that time I lost my swing my mechanics and in a way started from the beginning. This helped me so much and I have got my power back. Thank you so much.
Good video coach. One thing that changed hitting for my 4 boys growing up was getting them to see the ball coming out of the hand of the pitcher and watching their bat make contact with the ball. Once that is figured out their hitting really took off.
'keep your eye on the ball' is basic
Clear, concise, easy to comprehend. Thank you!
Thank you coach , you helped me a lot. Love from Philippines ❤
phenomenal video! So much information packed into less than 9 minutes. Thank you!
My coaches always tell me to get on top of the baseball. It makes me mad because i know that in order to hit doubles, triples, homers. I need to hit the middle lower quarter of the ball. Thanks for the videos excellent job:)
I never played much as a kid, but I played a season at one point. I grew up in the sticks and didn’t have anyone to play with, but now after I’ve graduated college I’ve gotten bored and decided to play baseball with some friends just to pass some time. Never realized how little I knew about technique l, and now it makes sense why I was a garbage pitcher and hitter. Thanks for the vid!
2 of the best terms I have heard of all the years I've played ball "put the pizza in the oven" yours is the hitting term and the pitching term is from hall of fame pitcher Nolan Ryan allegedly he said a pitcher must "fart on the catcher" in order to pitch right, anyone out of the know might think they are ridiculous but once they see what they really mean they say ah ha I have been playing organized ball since 1968 and you are one of the best instructors I've ever seen, thanks for helping me get my game back. I'm trying to figure out why your not playing anymore all of your lessons are dead solid perfect. I'm going to buy your program thank you!
thanks for this i just hit a triple today because of this video i was swinging under the ball alot so if i made contact it was a routine pop fly i did what this video said and i could tell how much better my power, contact and everything else was thanks coach!
One of the best explanation of the hitting mechanics! Subscribed.
I just left the cage and Hunter Lancaster told me the same thing about chopping the baseball down, I was originally taught too swing in a downward motion but you two just confirmed I need too be swinging through the ball not hackin it into the ground I appreciate both of you guys a lot ⚾️💯
great video- countless videos describing what not to do, finally a video explaining how to just get it done
Great description, great simplified advice.. I would say to talk about the hand ma and bat height position.. my sons struggled for a bit understanding correct wrist position and hand height..
As a new player trying out the sport for the first time, this video was the best by far that I have found. Thank you.
Great stuff! Thanks for your help on this! As a father who's never played, but has a 6yo son who LOVES Tee-Ball this helps me so much! FWIW, his teammates nicknamed him Asher Smasher and he swings at the name implies. I don't want to screw up his form by showing him something wrong, so the principles you shared really help. Something else that helps is the terms and you defining them for us! Appreciate you more than you know!
Hey Coach Justin. I have been coaching my kids little team a couple years now and I was always teaching them "cut down the tree". You know, get on top of the ball. I know now thatI have been sending my kids down the wrong path. I can'twait to start my next practice so I can help this kids for once! I appreciate the videos!
thanks Justin for the batting Mechanics my son needed some help and when he watched your video he went to his game and got his first Home-run.
Great video, has helped me a lot, I hit over the center fielders head in tonight's game after I have been struggling hitting ground balls all season. I play Masters over 38s here in Australia
great vid, using this for my three boys, all under five, on the go forward to start the muscle mem early on.
also... the knee pinch = the elvis.
I just commented on a drill from this channel. I also believe the swing is simultaneously performed and there is a little variance where the hands and hips will be to drive through the zone and cover the plate. I always used the knob as a pointer to the ball after I twist and before i throw or punch my hands out to meet the ball at the point of contact with the barrel.
thanks coach, cleared a lot of things for me!
on plane, on time....love it! great video!!!
Trying to explain to my nine year old how to swing was rather difficult until I found this. Thank you man. By far. This is the best instructional video I’ve found yet
This really helps me with practice and at home practice
Thank you
Good video. I agree that a good stance is important. What I would have liked for you to include is information about hand position on the bat. Not location, but grip. I always gripped the bat in the palm with my bottom hand and in the fingers with my top hand. I found that this gave me max hand speed which translated to more power at the plate. You also make a great point about worrying about your swing while at the plate. I tell my kids that working on your swing is not something you do at the plate. That needs to be done in the batting cage. At the plate you trust your mechanics and your swing and focus on the ball. Thanks for great instruction.
Hello sir ur videos are very informative. May i ask what would be a good tip to staying closed longer through the zone to prevent pulling the ball foul i have this problem. I have fast hands and have problems sowing it down
Thanks from Canada. Keep puttin great videos out
Awesome clarity, Thank you!!
Great video...Easy to understand. Plain English!!! Tanks coach!!!
Thank you for your Baseball skills!!!
You are the best coach on the internet thank you for sending me the video it HELPED ME A LOT so thanx 😃
First year coaching. Thank you for helping me teach these kids correctly.
Great video! Made it so simple!
Your sequence is spot on - this goes the golf swing as well. Wind up & throw it down the fairway. Your instrument is 2nd to none. Thanks
thanks for the tips I found your lessons very useful, you've gained one subscriber more, keep the good work! greetings
Wow this video help me so much understanding hitting mechanics.I normally swing with my hands instead of rotating my hips.Now I see why I strike out a lot. :(
These are always clear and interesting video's. I am Ronny from belgium and i am (trying to ) train the kids from age 4 till 9 . This is a very difficult group but we manage :) Thank you for all this interesting, and to my opinion, correct video's . Do you also have drills for this age category ? Greeting from Belgium (y)
Nice Video, you are the best coach on youtube !!!
This is the best. Im 36 and in both a baseball and softball league and played growing up but only now really learning to hit correctly
Love the videos keep on working and I’m a catcher do you have any advice for catching
Thanks for the video. It helped a lot!
You are a great teacher , thank you for this
Thanks a lot coach video helped me with my son. He is only 6 and running with much bigger kids do you have any tips or drills to build the fundamentals from the start? Any help would be great
My son was really improving thank you
Hello from DR thanks for the tips 🤗
Thank you, really needed this.
Love it! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for all the help
You're welcome!
Nice video, Justin. Greetings from Brazil.
Yes, well done Justin. You highlight some of the most important points some people take for granted. I have two issues that probably need more exposure as far as I'm concerned. One, although you do it, is the initial back elbow height. I find this mechanically important for correct swinging. The other is covered in your other video about throwing, [which is also comprehensive] but not pointedly mentioned here and that is that power comes from the ground. I feel that emphasis by others on hips, shoulders and arms is exaggerated if one does not understand anchoring to the ground.
If you look at major leaguers some have their elbow up, some have it down. I don’t think it matters much and I hate going to little league games where every parent is yelling “KEEP YOUR ELBOW UP” when it makes no sense and it is only a distraction.
Coaches must master the swing to be able to instruct it. I just got done hitting. Your coaching is invaluable to a players
success.
Nicely done!!
Thank you so much. I got cut because of my throwing and hitting power. Both of your vids have helped me figure out the problem.
Awesome! I'm happy to hear they have helped you
This will be a big help in baseball ⚾️ .Thx👍👍✌
This is great man thank you
Hands down the best break down of a swing from start to finish!
Wow, thank you so much! 👊🏼
Havent played baseball for almost 6 years. Needed this recap lesson, thanks.
Same I’m getting back into baseball and just needed something to jog my memory

@@talibaninternetexplorer I am playing team for high school now I was bad but got better
Great video! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I will!
Great philosophy and it's simplified
This was great. I subscribed.
I agree with this philosophy Justin, thank you
Galarraga field Pueblo Colorado!!! Been Watching you For A While now this Is Awsome!
Very good advise 😃👍
Love this! I’m constantly trying to help my players “get out of their head”. It’s ironic, baseball is called the thinking man’s game, but to perform well, you have to have an empty mind
Thank you this was very helpful
5:12 when I was in high school the Padres hitting coach (Nate Colbert) came to our small town and did a baseball camp for kids. He had us helping him. During one of the breaks he asked to see my swing. He made one tweak. He told me my arms should be fully extended when I make contact. The next day in practice I was cranking everything out of the park. That is the one adjustment I would make in your video. I remember several years later while playing softball my brother was baffled with my swing. He said it looks like I’m swinging so slow yet I kept hitting everything over the fence. He was always taught that bat speed is everything. I don’t know the science behind the fully extended arms but I know from experience it will give you more power!
I would agree with this minimal critique as well. Full extension met on plain with the ball is the key to power. If you don’t teach full extension you get a bunch of kids rounding out their swings. Not a fan of the slight upper cut in the video although what he is saying is correct I’ve always taught a neutral or level bat neither chopping wood or slight upper cut. The mistake of a home run or deep ball will definitely happen with what he saying but if you teach that concept to young kids you have all of them dipping the back shoulder. He’s not wrong but the concept is more age specific. Neutral bat until they are able to understand the concept of what he’s teaching. Great video though.
Very helpful instruction
cheers bud that was good enjoyed the throwing video too
This helped a lot 👍
Amazing vid!!! Like everyone else this helped me a ton! :)
Great video!
Can this technique be applied to softball or should I need to tweak some things so that I can fully utilize the techniques that were being taught here? BTW good concise vid 👍
Thank you for the major help
Great video!😊
Thank you Coach Justin! This should help me fix my swing since I keep trying to load but end up dropping my hands to where I swing under the ball ;/
Excellent!
Great job thanks
Thanks a lot really appreciated!!
You mentioned palm up, palm down at contact, but is there a starting grip what will ensure that happens? Which knuckles should be lined up before you swing?
Hey Justin, I am in a slump right now and are you saying for the bat to come through at the same time as the hips? Or is there something else I need to understand?
Coach Justin @ultimatebaseballtraining What are your thoughts about line drive nation? the service that does online video batting coaching?
I've never seen any of their stuff so I wouldn't be the right person to ask. However, if you enjoy our videos and believe in what I teach, we offer our own premium training programs on our website. I believe our programs are some of the BEST out there
this is your best video by far
Thanks Amanda!
You helped my swing so much
Thank you 😊. My son is 9 and He enjoyed it. He doesn't know the basics yet.
Do you like drill with the Tee close to the fence hitting into a net to keep the hands in?
You put my mind at ease. My 9 yr old's coach teaches hitting top of the ball with a ball on a stick. The coach played back in the day but hell...I used to drop nukes from orbit...I never hit the top. Thanks for the tips. What you described is essentially how I swing. Never liked the Donaldson step. Hard to time IMO
is a bat tip needed? i seen videos of aaron vlad manny getting the bat tip before launch
You could make a lot of money doing hitting lessons
Rory McIlroy and Micah Morris brought me here. They were discussing baseball hitter swing mechanics during their recent long drive competition. Should out to Bubbie Golf who exemplifies the golfing baseballer!
Me watching this: hmmmm ok
Also me imagining I made a Home Run and Make the Field Wild
Just excellent
Coach my son keeps going under the ball and looking away??? Looks like he drops his shoulder and picks the front upwards. What do you think? Thanks
There is effective feet stance to direct the knees so the hips can turn through the ball for in the end you want the hips facing the pitcher are the shoulders twist your body as force of action. Hips turn and shoulders rotate. Your so right the swing is build from the ground up. Having ground force so the hips can rotate with balance direct force and hips support the shoulder at impact with the ball. My self I broke the swing down by building up so have three areas to develop. Lower body that feet ground force and placement to support the direction of the knees so hips can turn to best placement and that is facing the pitch. Then you have upper body setup that with shoulder and its placement for the swing. Shoulder support arms in bring its force into the hands. Consider hand ergonomic for the bat to transfer force into the ball for hitting a ball you have recoil affect the hands and body has to deal with. Then have all the other development in timing but swing mechanics affect timing abilities for develop your timing around swing mechanics. You can disagree with me for now but I will prove it in time. its matter how intense a person wants to form their swing mechanics for the swing then release that coordinated muscle tension in the rotation of the body to hands. Hands are separate in development then body for body function is to bring force into the hands and have convert it to higher level. Thanks for very clear video.
Hey are you a coach because your helping me out alot
