"Almost Matty, certainly just missed it, with this guy's big power he's feeling pretty good at the dish, look for him to try to get on something and drive it out of the yard this AB."
Ya'll need to get Edwin Encarnacion in studio to talk his rhythm and mechanics... his mechanics are so laidback/chill, I mean compared to many other hitters his movements are so minimal which make his hitting mechanics look so effortless compared to say Josh Donaldson who is doing a lot with his mechanics and just watching him you can tell he puts a lot of time and energy into developing his swing... Edwin's swing mechanics on the other hand just seems natural/basic and non-overly complicated compared to other MLB sluggers. Especially with every little leaguer these days doing exaggerated leg kicks and such. Edwins mechanics need to be highlighted more often to show youngsters that good mechanics finding a rhythm, weight transfer, getting in plain/correct launch angle etc don't necessarily need all these big exaggerated moves that most of the big leaguers seem to use. Hitting mechanic segments are always my favorite.
Jackson Groat Agreed, may just be me but it seems hes way underrated... likely because hes not the most flashy at the plate, I haven't even heard anyone talking about the fact hes on pace to potentially hit 35 HRs or more this year... which would be his 7th straight year... and crazily hes showing no signs of slowing down... IMO the biggest mistake the Jays have made in recent years was letting him get away during his prime and not even getting anything in return, since they allowed him to go to free agency without resigning or trading him.
Spot on & Amen. I watched a Sunday night baseball game back in the day & Joe Morgan broke down Griffey & Bonds & others, they all stared differently, but at the point that they came forward, everyone of them was in the same position. DeRose is on it !
If you wanna be a power hitter, ALL POWER HITTERS ARE ROTATIONAL. Rotational Hitters have circular hand path, don’t roll wrist, don’t extend arms, and keep hands and weight back of their swing. Their elbow is tucked and bent through the swing. Most power hitters like Aaron judge, Fernando Tatis Jr, Barry bonds and chipper jones do it.
I’m a 13 year old kid and I am a home run hitter and play third my approach is think fastball and I can always slow down to the curveball is that right or no
Edward McLeod at your age, yes. That being said, if you’re facing a pitcher that always throws an 0-2 curve, then you should obviously sit curve. The guys in the MLB have analytics that gives them a very good idea about what a pitcher will thrown in certain situations so their approach will be much different then someone your age.
an approach isnt just sitting fastball thats what you should be thinking you sit fastball on fastball counts your approach is gonna be something along the lines of gap to gap middle middle or away away i use all three approaches i use away away on slow pitchers so i can get my timing right and with a slow pitcher i can still react to the inside fast ball because the big thing now is hitting your spots well most of the time your trying to throw an outside fast ball then when you have the bp speed pitchers you can think gap to gap and on the fast pitchers i like to think middle middle all of this is probly spanish to you until somebody starts to explain it but when they explain it it will all make sense
Eventually you’re gonna wanna start recognizing spin and adjusting that way. Sometimes, you might even have to guess if guys are throwing hard enough. But whatever’s working, stick with it
7:34 that’s could rhythm right there. Cause you don’t wanna be standing completely steal THEN swing cause you miss the ball a lot more like that. You wanna be somewhat moving already so you’re not really “fighting” that swing if it makes sense. It’s almost like the moving your hands with bat trick. You don’t wanna be completely still cause then it’s easier for you bat late like that when it’s a good pitch. You want to be in the rhythm already before the ball gets to you.
Indeed, there are many ways to skin a cat. I've never felt any batting stance should be mandated by any coach. Whatever it takes to get the bat on the ball. I actually love unorthodox stances.....if they work.
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say...
Can I add comments on hitting baseball from my prospective the following hitters swing ball looking baseball Mona Liza. 1.Ted Williams 2.Stan the Man 3.Matsui If take step analysis their styles of hitting if looking at art work.
Again, Derosa proving that most pros don't understand technique versus style. "Cookie Cutter" is exactly what you want to do from Launch to Power-V-just before finish. Style, agreed...totally different between players.
They all land in the same position. He’s gotta mention that. They don’t just let their hands do whatever they start different but all land the same. Knob to the Catcher. They are VERY aware of where their hands and bat are. Kinda poor analysis. These guys don’t work with kids it’s obvious. Tell a young kid to stretch the band you get baring out 90% of the time.
Gotta love being an all star caliber player listening to a guy who played for 8 teams in 13 years, who was a backup, talk about how you should be hitting the baseball...smh. Derosa is a joke to be honest
"Almost Matty, certainly just missed it, with this guy's big power he's feeling pretty good at the dish, look for him to try to get on something and drive it out of the yard this AB."
"throw in the dirt but a good scoop at first saves the error"
But if he catches it a grain lower, we got action.
It’s sad this is still the exact quote that’s in the new game
@@blakebailey23 they have added like one or two new phrases, but it's basically the same since The Show 18.
Broooooo

He's got a great eye at the plate too. Multiple bits they could do with him for instructional purposes.

Tyson Hook i like guys with not a ton of moving parts in the swing. Simple and short
Spot on & Amen. I watched a Sunday night baseball game back in the day & Joe Morgan broke down Griffey & Bonds & others, they all stared differently, but at the point that they came forward, everyone of them was in the same position. DeRose is on it !
I’m glad you guys are posting again
What I've learned over the years is that we are all experts in swing mechanics.
great sense of humor
Love that guys passion for the game .
"It ain't that one!"
Lmaoooo
Great (rubber band, rebar, etc) analogies
Mark DeRosa would be an incredible coach

Good stuff love how mlb network does these demonstrations great for kids!
Edwin Encarnacion is so underrated
he wasn't underrated when he was a Blue Jay.
He was my fav Jay to watch
Edwin had a great run. From 10-15 he was one of the most feared bats in MLB. You couldn't pitch to this guy!
I’m a 13 year old kid and I am a home run hitter and play third my approach is think fastball and I can always slow down to the curveball is that right or no

Interesting he’s partially suited in these reels but the prank from Impractical Jokers, he’s was wearing track suit.
" and he creates a little rubber ban.. PAUSE!.."
7:34 that’s could rhythm right there. Cause you don’t wanna be standing completely steal THEN swing cause you miss the ball a lot more like that. You wanna be somewhat moving already so you’re not really “fighting” that swing if it makes sense. It’s almost like the moving your hands with bat trick.

I love this guys analogies

As long as you hit the main points to create power you're good. Course its gonna be similar to MLB hitters.
Mark DeRosa is my guy!!
love the mlb network for doing this. wish i had this when i was palying baseball!
“It ain’t that one”
Damn Giancarlo Stanton is a giant.
@Michael Littlefield 6'5 is a beast already man
What is cheating to the heater
Derosa- De Dude!! That's All
What bat is that
NF calms me when I am at the plate
Baseball fan pr21 NF is trash
Justin Peralta your trash bye 👋🏼 .
Baseball fan pr21 wow, great comeback
Justin Peralta NF is good, maybe not to you but whatever idky ur starting an argument for no reason
The lingo crutch
Love these vids
Plesac it ain't that one LOL
I still don't understand the Red Sox trading him. And they got back nothing. Fucking Verdugo and half a bag of chips. wtf?
I love baseball ❤️

If take step analysis their styles of hitting if looking at art work.
The pre attack song and dance can all differ, but the actual "load, hold, fall, push and attack" are cookie cutter.
I'm over D Ro
No mention of Odubel Herrera? Such bias
GalacticStorm bias towards what?
There's way too many great hitters to put on here. These guys are the guys who are constant.
Kids. Don't sing songs in the batters box. Focus on your plan
I’m like Arenado
giants stadium newYork Yankees stadium
😂

So the best hitting coaches in MLB, were MLB all stars?
Some guys can talk and teach hitting, doesn't mean they can go hit 40 homers themselves....
MLB
