I'm a high school player who had bat drag about a year ago. As soon as I fixed it i was absolutely destroying balls. Absolutely crucial to have the back elbow up
Awesome thanks for sharing!! Thanks of watching!!
Bonds didn’t have the back elbow up. Yes williams, hank Aaron, babe Ruth, etc … it’s not about the elbow being up the elbow needs to be back. But for kids that’s automatically where they go because the bat is too damn heavy.
Ive never even played baseball and idk why I watch these videos, but they're great
Hey Matt. I just found your old rookie card. Can I send it to you to get signed!! Thanks
Finally. . .somebody that gets it. Staying connected with the lead arm, posture and alignment. Good scap load is also important. Thank you!
Thanks so much!! Thanks for watching!
You are certainly one of the best hitting instructors online. I have my two boys watch your videos all the time. You obviously understand what the elite hitters do!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!
There's plenty of information to get from just watching you load and start your swing
I work with the tee a lot to try to find just how much I should drop the front shoulder (and what it actually does for my swing) and how much to turn my hips away from the pitcher when I load. If you have any advice on either, I'd take it!
Also thanks a lot for posting frequently. Best baseball youtuber and there are lots of good ones.
Thanks so much I appreciate it! Thanks of watching!!
Hey can u do a video on how u got to the majors, the process, workouts, different practices you did throughout your career to get the the majors
Thank you Matt for the video. I was working on this at the batting cages and was hitting the higher speeds a lot better and with more consistency.
No problem! Thanks for watching!!
Perfectly logical. Good stuff coach.
Thanks Matt these videos have really helped me
What are the types of punishment workouts did you do at college????
I have a video coming up tomorrow on it! Thanks of watching!!
I have a question
Is there anyway I can send you a video of my son swinging bat and can you give me some suggestions work on
Thank you
Jerry
Awesome tips and extremely helpful. Thank you!
I had this problem in high school. I could only hit it hard to RF, only on outside 1/3 of the plate. All bc I was working on getting my hands in tight.
you are great coach. I am Korean
Thanks so much!!! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Try starting your swing with the bat on your shoulder. Fixes a lot of issues, including bat drag and it's really simple to do. Give it a try.
Yup we do drills with the bat on the neck. Great stuff!
Antonelli Baseball, I don’t do either of those but I still can’t hit many fastballs to right field
Matt, the content you put out is fantastic! Keep them coming!!
Thanks!!! Thanks for watching!
Love these videos!
Thanks and thanks for watching!!!
Antonelli Baseball can I send u a swing and you help me a bit on it?
Antonelli Baseball ?
What position should the elbow be in at contact?
Big difference in drag and lag,,lag is good lag is power,,don't let the back elbow circle the belly button leading the back elbow.You glue it to the side ribs,don't let it float up,that loses support of your hands
Thanks for the help!
Thanks of watching!!
Fantastic video.
Thanks a bunch!! Thanks for watching!
What do you think of this camwood bats ?
Hey Matt, I'm currently playing 3rd base in high school. Any tips on when to dive for a ball and when not to?
Thanks man Ive been trying to get used to it but my coach moved me from left field to 3rd base. Diving in the outfield is a big no-no with my coach so Im not entirely comfortable diving yet. Im going to try to get some extra reps in and see how it goes
It is tough to say. When in doubt, lay out for it. There are balls that are tough to decide whether or not to field standing up or not. That comes with reps and practice I think. Thanks of watching!!
Can you talk about closed stance compared to open and so forth.... I prefer to teach open because it works for me, as to seeing the ball better
Sure thing!!! Thanks for watching!
Jason Watson, take a look at what Bryce Harper does. He doesn’t really have too open of a stance, instead he turns his head more so that his dominant (left) eye sees the ball too.
Can you do a video on colleges that are good for baseball??
Sure thing! Thanks of watching!!
Thanks these are great definitely very useful! Great vids watch Dailey
Thanks I appreciate it!!!
If you wear a different Jersey every game. Do you get to keep any
You get to keep one a year usually. Thanks of watching!!
Is the quality of dugout different in the minors?
Yes definitely! Most are smaller for sure. Thanks of watching!!
🙌🏼💀
👍
I gotta say a lot of players never had this bat drag problem
One guy which I remember whose back elbow didn't really get up was Jeff Kent
I'd be interested to see where it got to when he launched the bat. Thanks for watching!
You did a good job of telling us what bat drag is, but your video is titled “How to correct bat drag”... I didn’t see any correction mechanisms.
Philip Byars you must have not watched the entire video. At 4 minutes I talk about how you need to get your back elbow up to correct it
Antonelli Baseball , thanks for the reply.
I did watch the entire video and rewatched from 3:00-end (just in case I missed something).
You did a great job explaining one of the major issues that affect 90% of 14 yr olds and younger but I still did not see any part to “correct” the action.
I liked the video itself, just believe the title is misleading is all.
I agree with your assessment. Search UA-cam for Epstein Hitting. There are a few guys with Jake that show what it is, explain what causes it and gives some drills to correct. Or search Baseball Barn- 'Bat drag, how to fix/correct it". Lastly, search Contact Drill on UA-cam. Good luck.
Hey
Hi!
Are minor league coaches strict
Some are, but most I would say aren't very strict. Thanks of watching!!
My coach tells us to act like your punching a guy with a uppercut to the chest so that way people don't lead with the elbow
Hmmm haven't heard of that before. Interesting! Thanks of watching!!
Horrible clue,the hands don't punch anything,the barrel gets on plane early not the hands
hitting too much tee or playing tball can cause this bat drag issue. Players who learn to hit bombs off tees, develop drag the bat because they larn to generate power that way. Then they get to coach pitch and strike out because they cant adjust bat swing plain. You'll see coach tell players "make the L & V" or "put a ball under the back arm and don't let it fall" or the worst "get out in front of ball"- all big mistakes - should always stay behind the ball and have elbow up a little like they taught you back in the day
Bat drag drives me crazy
Me too!
