By far the best hitting advice out there. I am completely self taught when it came to my swing. I always felt most of what is taught by coaches was always incorrect. I came to the realization of a lot of what he talks about in his videos on my own through trial and error. Right now I am trying to teach my 10 year old some and this video will help a lot. Thank you so much.

This video was rly helpful. I can feel the difference in my swing and my bat path is a lot better gracias

Best explanation of bat path I've ever seen. Thank you for continuing to debunk the "hitting down on the ball" dogma.

WOW!! Matt I love your videos, but in this one you really simplified the turning the Barrel move! I’ve been trying to teach my son this, and he is very armsee when trying to do it... I love how you just kept the bat on your shoulder and let the hands do the work!!👍 Thank you so much for this video and for all the great work that you do!💯

Thanks for the tips, Matt. I'm definitely going yard once co ed softball, social rec league starts back again. Trying to impress those hot IT recruiter and HR chicks on the team.

Hi Matt, great video as always. By far the best hitting technique anyone can explain.
Can you please do a video on low-ball hitting. Most of the videos on the turning-the-barrel technique have the tee at mid-thigh or up, so it's easier to get the barrel from the turned, horizontal position to the ball. But what should the path be to knee-high pitches? Thank you!

simple ways help a lot while I am making it so complicated, love it

[youngmelo]

I have a question Matt about Blast motion plane scores and how it correlates to major league swings. Would they all have a good score?

[peterdudley]

Hey Matt, love your videos. The problem with players being able to grasp the concept with the action is that a lot of players have been given long winded tips, and drills that have been ingrained in them through relation, and usually work counter intuitively against each other. When I work with my players especially the younger ones I had figure out away that was simple to grasp and easier to say. I tell them "Back elbow to belly button" even my 4 year olds know what and where those are. It immediately puts the barrel in the hitting zone also keeping those hands nice and tight, and keeps the knob of the back from facing upward. Just with those to words, try it and see how it works. Let me know what you think.

You have a lot of good info on pro hitting, i wonder why your not in the show anymore did u just age out??

[chenrayen]

Lol watching these vids the “too up” swing might be worse bc an ideal “too down” swing could still create one perfect contact spot that results in backspin and flight.

[dman]

Very similar technique to HLP and Richard Schenk.

No wonder Video game Matt is so good, he is going to be super MAD when he finds out that he will only be getting 500, 000, 000 dollars instead of his yearly

[jafetautocenterinc]

You are so amazing that you should even have a billion subscribers!!!

[jayzoncano]

Imagine you swung and miss at the end of the video 🤣 after explaining all that in one take.

[steveisrael]

Another excellent video, thanks for the amazing content. Your demonstration with top hand and bat in neck slot is one of the most clear and concise explanations of barrel turn I have seen. The visual of top hand palm pivoting from facing the pitcher to palm up is tremendous. This really simplifies this action. Thanks again!

Funny this is the exact same ideas Aaron Judge’s hitting coach is posting all over and you had it up years ago. I still prefer your teaching tho because it’s a bit more kid friendly and comprehensive.

[austinrandall]

I know this is a older video but man these people just don’t know how much game you just dropped thank you for stamping the approval on what I’ve been saying 💪🏽

[malachiwright]

I can't tell you how long I've been trying to get the dip out of my swing and be on plane with the pitch. Years of struggle and one video changes everything. Much thanks and love to you coach Matt. Very much appreciate the help.

[michaelspadaccini]

Matt, in your opinion is turning the barrel the/an approach for all batters regardless of their size, strength, and goals at the plate? I realize it’s about getting on plane, but do you think it applies to smaller, non-power guys or will those types of guys wind up flying or lining out more frequently with this approach? Thanks
