- Struggling to square up a baseball? In this video, you will learn 5 baseball hitting drills that will teach you how to consistently square up more baseballs.
This video is a guide to show how to square up a baseball.
1) Start by standing in front of the batter's box, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2) Place the bat on the ground in front of you.
3) Lift your left foot and place it on top of the bat.
4) Pick up your right foot and place it on top of your left foot, so that they are touching each other but are not touching the bat.
5) Keeping your weight on both feet, lift the bat off the ground with both hands, holding it by its handle about six inches from its end.

Former teacher and coach here. Really excellent progression and nice job teaching. Not only has God graces you with hitting talent, but also how to connect with others. Well done!
Thank you, Bobby, for the great words. I truly appreciate you. Made my day.
As a former MLBer I liked it so much I made my 12 year old watch it twice …great drills for any level player
Love to see my mlbl brothers! Hope all is well
@@JermaineCurtis55 …no complaints…just enjoying watching my kids start the journey of playing competitive sports!! Hope all is well with you and yours …again great stuff …simple yet affective!!
I'm subscribing because of the honesty! Great video, thank you!
Great video Jermaine. You do a phenomenal job explaining and showing the drills in a simple and effective manner.
I wish the kids on my team would take the time to watch!
Love your videos. Great drill.
I love progression drill, they help build a proper foundation. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us! AMAZING!
Well done brother!! Catching it through out to the middle of the field….
love this progression. thanks!
Thank you so much!
I once heard Barry Bonds say he tried to catch the ball with the bat. You gave me the visual. I cam now break it down go my 9 year old.
So efficient and thanks again!
Great video. I have watched all of them. Great explanation, awesome drills, and nothing over complicated. These cage drills are great! Thanks and keep up the great work. 55
Love these drills Jermaine, can take your same lesson and use it to turn on inside pitch and take outside pitch the other way, all about hands and timing. thanks bro, we will be using it next time at the cages
Great drills Mr. Curtis, videos are gold💯#55
Very informative and I appreciate the drills to work on. I'll let you know how it helps
Love your drills! Bruin here. Training my son now. Great content!
Awesome, get that work in. We need him to be a Bruin haha
how wonderful! you have shared real gold.
Haha thanks Armstrong! I appreciate it.
Very awesome video! I'll be adding some of these drills into my teams batting practice routine. 55
Thank you Mario! I appreciate it. Let me know how it goes when you implement those drills. Also, I just released a new video. Check it out. It's similar to this video.
Great drills... catch, pepper, 3/4 drill is a nice progression. Hadn't thought of doing a 1-hander off the machine but a good idea. Am thinking maybe dial the speed down to let it bounce in front of the hitter to simulate the curve ball but also take pressure off the elbow. Huge thanks, always great vids, appreciate it!
Steal and alternate this progression, Albert! haha thanks for watching, your comment, and for the positive feedback. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from this video. Probably, the most...besides my swing breakdowns. It feels good when I get those positive comments.
7 for 10 great work😊
55! Been loving the videos recently! 👍

My son loves your videos. What kind of pitching machine you suggest. What are you using in this video. Do you suggest hard ball or the machine your using. I can by a net at Dicks it’s 22 feet long will that work
55, I love the tips!!
Thanks Pedro! I appreciate you watching, your comment, and for the positive feedback.
Thanks I went 3 for 5 combined in my double header today👍
WHAT A STUD! Congrats to you. Keep it rolling tomorrow
good job
Great video. I love the progression. Do you have a recommendation of speed and how many reps with each progression? And how would you adjust it per age? A 17U player vs a 12U player? Thanks again! #55
My advice would be to start it at there normal speed - (17U -> 80mph? And 12U -> 50mph? I'm guessing), Then go from there.
I usually just go off of what I seefrom the player. If he's struggling, lower it. If he's not, keep them there.
So my son bats left throws right, should I look into finding him a left hand throw glove for the glove drill? Your videos are great, I truly appreciate the simplified breakdowns and your delivery. Keep it up you have and will continue to help countless people with your methods of instruction. This Sir is gold, I shall and will suggest and forward this on to others. Thank you
Hey J F2it, Thank you, I appreciate you. To answer your question, you can use a pancake glove, but if you're talking about the "catch drill", he can use his normal glove - just put it on his top hand and catch with it. If he batted right, then you would need to buy a glove or use a pancake glove.
😂, Oh man. What a dumb question when you specifically stated at the beginning what to do. I'll rewatch with no distractions this time. So forget the original question, but remember the rest of the statement. Thanks for reply!
55 thanks for the tips

Thank you for watching and for the comment!

55 goos video different from what other coaches online are teaching
Hey Dre, thanks for watching, commenting, and the positive feedback.
I'm curious, and what are the other coaches teaching that's different?
fire
Thanks Marty Raw! I appreciate it.
@@JermaineCurtis55 out of 4 years of watching hitting instruction... you're stand alone in the approach of hitting... will be using your drills in my Highschool baseball program...
Thanks Marty! Yeah, hitting is way more than your swing. But, you wouldn't know that if you watched the videos from the other coaches in the space. They only talk about the swing. Never about the me tal side, the hitting approach, the adjustments, none of that.
1, fire video 🔥
Thanks Kendell! Update me on how you're doing
@@JermaineCurtis55 I gotcha! Check your DM
55 love your content jermaine
Also watching your swing reminds me of what I once saw and that was a net by a guy named Kenny Myers he was a minor league player just before WWll probably youngest guy to sign pro contract in old pacific coast league he was 15 but during the war he was injured and in a hospital for a year unconscious for 4 1/2 months later on he came up with a lot of hitting gadgets was ahead of his time he signed Willy Davis your action through the ball reminds me of that catch the fish in the net throw it up the line you look a lot like my father on those swings my father described Kenny Myers swing as very similar to Rafal palmero
Trying to get my boys hitting hard as possible, correctly. These tips are helping us so much.
Edit: 55
Keep working DJ! Thank you for watching and commenting
55 I am this the kid who talked to you at hit after hit I was whereing a mafia shirt
Hey whats goin on? You can hit.

What if you throw with the same side you bat?
Ex: Left hand batter and thrower. You would have to bat/catch like righty?
Catch with the left hand if you're a left-handed hitter. If you're a right-handed hitter, you catch with your right hand.
@@JermaineCurtis55 Thanks 😊
I'm watching this before practice so I will try to use the drills. And the number was 55
Thanks Korbatron for watching and commenting. Hammer in practice!
Jermaine when did u start implementing the diamond approach to your game? In the minors?
I would say in the end of college, but honed into it in professional baseball. My on base percentage went up like crazy and I started hitting way better once I took it seriously.
@@JermaineCurtis55 do you think i should you use in juco
@@JermaineCurtis55 or just sit on the outside pitch. Im
Try it a few times and see how it goes. Basically, the diamond approach is like thinking 2-0,3-1. Hitter type counts where you can shrink the strike zone so you can do damage.
@@JermaineCurtis55 ok so in hitters counts use diamond approach. Or sit on a pitch that is to your advantage. For example, that would be pitches up in the zone for you, but pitches inside for me.

Thanks for the comment Tyrone! I appreciate it!
We usually use the 3/4 swing but pointing the barrel out to center. Is this wrong?
You can do it many ways. The goal is are you hitting line drives though? If so, you're doing it right.
FIFTY FIVE!!
Cloran, Thanks for the 3 comments! We are going to wait for a few more people to join in before selecting a winner.

Thank you Mr. G! I appreciate you watching and for this comment.
Hey Jermaine I am as lost as I’ve ever been at the plate. I used to hit .500 in my sleep and would dominate every pitcher. Now I can’t hit literally anyone who is on the mound in games. It’s gotten so bad I’ve lost my starting job. I don’t know what to do today I barreled up the baseball in both at bats but they both went foul it’s extremely frustrating I’m at the point of giving up but it’s embarrassing because I can do it.
55. I thought you were showing the speed of the machine. 🤣
7 out 11 not bad great drill ,u were 1 off when swinging lol

@@JermaineCurtis55 nice work Jermaine. I always think of Gwynn when he said swing the knob. It made sense to me.
Yeah, whatever gold nugget works, run with it. Seems like that worked for you.
