Secondary is horseshit. If you can't raise your bum as the pitch arrives, then you are not athletic enough to catch. Try jumping from both stances and see which is more athletic. Lose the secondary, perfect the primary.

First person to practice standing up. Please educate your brethren. Everyone else is clueless. Only mistake is the secondary. If you can't pick your butt up by the time the pitch arrives, then you lack the coordination necessary to be an athlete. Stay in yoir primary and explode up through the ball. Time them both and get back to me. Secondary is the worst sin on catching ever perpetrated. I

Not talking where beginners put their hands on the bat. Line up knuckles? you need to be specific on hand placement.

I striggle qith being afraid if the inside pitch. This video helped out a lot thanks!

You might want to actually put the tee inside, if you are going to show how to hit the inside pitch!

His hands look like they're staying in front of the wall because the camera is at an angle from the right. If you were straight on, he would be at least hiding his top thumb.

Almost Japanese coaches tell us not to use your hands but use your lower body and give power that was generated by lower body to upper body or hands.However, it's unnatural to hit the ball because you have to use bat with your hands. The most important thing in baseball swing is the way to use hands. Japanese coaches should watch this video. They don't know about swing plane and exact meaning of down or upper swing.

I played baseball. I can hit a baseball. I am now coaching kids on how to hit a baseball. I had no idea that I could not explain how to hit a baseball until I had to teach kids how to do it. “Just hit the ball!” is not a good coaching technique. This breakdown is going to change everything! You explain it in a way my brain just couldn’t process it. Thank you so much!!!

It looks like when you get in contact with the ball, or just before, you are kind of flicking your wrist or arm? Is this the case or does it just look like it

😂😅😅😅😅

I am 8 but my dad told me that there’s a box that you need to stay in it’s called a phone booth that you have to stay inside it

watching your footwork helped a lot with my weight shifting

I disagree with the quickness of turning the body vs the hands. We did a study w pressure plates in grad school detailing this very subject.

At 4:26 who is the first hitter up in the right top window you show swinging? Is it Cano?

Been training to get back into baseball (Adult rec leagues). Haven't played since I was, about sixteen. I'm 25 now and am having to relearn the mechanics from square one. This was a great vid. Thank you.

This was a great video, well done

Hi I play baseball for fun It's been a while and I'm not confident in my batting because: That I hit with my right hand down and my left hand down and I'm even right-handed, I realized this when I concentrated well on the professional hitting of baseball players and I'm the only one doing it, is this hitting okay or do I need to correct it? Thanks.

Where that tee is isn’t an inside pitch

You’re not correct

yeah i don't know what you're talking about, it's not clear. and also the title is click bait.

this is pretty sigma

Why are we hitting outside pitches in front on the plate??? 🤨

Tilt is a must your pointing out improper tilt correct?

Great explanation!!!

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹oh so due to armbl my shoulder get pain during hitting ball I can’t even able to hit second one that’s a huge problem i been facing and fearing to play🥲🥲🥲

🎉

Dear Netis, Thanks for sending us this.

How come you’re the only person who still teaches pushing the hands to the ball? Odd. Either you’re the smartest instructor out there or the dumbest. That’s a very old school method that video analysis has long since debunked. Time to get with the times. Just saying.

Not stepping into ball but towards pitcher, my kid opens up which I'm trying to correct

Revisiting this. Thanks for the this video. My average has dropped and power has significantly decreased over the past couple of seasons. My issues have been different to what you described but still from the same source, my hands don't seem to be slow to the ball but I keep getting out in from and toe ending it, getting lazy pop flies or huge top spin grounders to 3rd (my pull side). I think a lot of it is because there's no acceleration into the ball at contact so there's very little force (Or maybe starting earl to compensate for the slower hands). I'm burying my front shoulder too much so I rip it open and my power all leaks to the 3rd base dugout and very little gets behind the ball. On top of all this inside pitches feel very close because my shoulder is turning in and getting close to the plate, the outside pitch is also an issue because it feels far away from my hands. I think a lot of the teacherman hitting instruction style has caused this, trying to manipulate the swing into feeling like a lot of the pros look has made me feel like my swing needs to powerful. Dry swings after this makes it feel like my bat is quick and my body is doing very little. Not that the teacherman style is wrong, it seems to work for some guys but I think it caused me to over emphasise a lot of movements and swing my body rather than swing the bat.

Ive never played baseball but my son wants to and i cant afford a coach. This will get us started, thank you.

Please quit giving lessons , youre hurting kids

ive been using Pro Speed baseball for 4 years, Michael is absolutely the best teacher ive ever seen, his plan works, my son plays college ball and actually had no chance to play until we started working with Pro Speed in August 2019

This is so fundamentally WRONG in every way! Im sad that he is leading so many kids down a mediocre path of hitting. Watch how the big leaguers ALL hit. Watch them in slow motion. This guy is swinging the opposite and this chicken wing fix is painful to watch.

Great Video

My absolute favorite swing, I'm sick of seeing all the 'stop roll over' & 'palm up, palm down' through entire swing.. this was my natural swing and afforded me a varsity spot when I was an 8th grader and I hit 8 home runs at 115 lbs.. people now are hating on this swing. But back then, everyone wanted to know how I did it and I couldn't tell them.. well, this is exactly how people!

I love that you're animated and really care about the science. But it's flat out wrong! Based on slow motion and 3D analysis this is absolutely NOT what creates proper swing plane. Throwing hands down at the ball creates a terrible angle and produces missed balls, ground balls or poorly hit flared fly balls. The swing is a 3-dimensional disc that rotates around a spine axis that tilts slightly based on the pitch location. One example of this is a low pitch will have a higher follow through whereas a higher pitch will have a lower and flatter follow through. There's too much to accurately write without showing. Anyone who says to throw hands DOWN at the ball hasn't figured it out. Likewise no coach should mention launch angle when talking about bat path. Upward is also terrible (Richard Schenk). The problem with the majority of hitting coaches like Schenck is they haven't coached any teams. They haven't seen over and over again that his upward launch and Pro Speeds downward angle creates players that bat 9th consistently. They are cage coaches. Game coaches who've fought it out with struggling hitters at-bat after at-bat are the ones that know the truth about hitting. Go to Matt Antonelli. He's slow and sometimes boring, but spot on. Also Matt Lisle's videos will get you there at a price.

Horrible.

this is trash

Why do we assume that he hits that ball so hard despite having weight on his back foot, rather than “because” of it. He is almost like those hammer throwers in the Olympics, that use centrifugal force to achieve maximum distance. He uses that to get the barrel launched into the ball. His body is the fulcrum, which is slighted tilted back on contact to create the optimal launch angle. The front foot stops the transfer of weight forward, so that the applied force to follow can all be applied up through the body from the ground, up through the barrel. When a car comes to a stop gradually, the force is dissipated gradually, so the objects in the car don’t get propelled forward as it does when you slam on the brakes or hit a wall. The front foot is the brakes, but we don’t want the force to transfer in a straight line. We want centrifugal force, applied to the bat which has to turn before it gets into position to impact the ball.

All MLB players have a bent elbow at contact. ua-cam.com/video/QUFRZyxI5rI/v-deo.html

How about simply letting the ball get deeper, rather than manipulating your swing?

Bad habit for kids to start moving their hands first in my opinion.

Great video and explanation of the how the swing and contact works! You mention leading the hands to the ball, is this similar to when other say leading the knob to the ball? What's your opinion on that - "knob to the ball" ?

This is terrible hitting advice. Please thumb down this video.

he's turning the barrel without knowing it

Great stuff

Can you pls help me by telling me how to get my bat speed faster pls.

Can’t find a video of a major leaguer who does it that way.
