My man almost came out of his new balances on that last one

35 years later. Now i understand what coach meant by "Throw the bat, just don't let go of it."

[yeriel]

I’ve only seen two clips from this guys and I’m already convinced he’s the best hitting coach of all time lol

[thomasduran]

That paddle of a bat gets you to hear the speed of his swing

[BDiligent]

A great coach can change your life. Thank you to all those who share their game changing wisdom.

Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and this guy.

This guy looks like every guy slowing me down on the golf course.

This is the best slow pitch softball hitting advice I have ever heard. When he drops the head of the bat, his eyes are automatically looking up to see how far the ball is going to fly.

The most important part of hitting is barreling the ball with the sweet spot of the bat, the ball will fly off the bat if you do that. In order to do that consistently, a "handsy" swing is best because it gives you much greater barrel accuracy, as you can see exactly where you are taking your hands and the bat. Watch Tony Gwynn and his "handsy" swing -he definitely would let his hands go ahead of him in his swing, he wouldnt swing from the back with his hands stuck to his back hip and shoulder.

I’ve watched several of these videos now and don’t usually comment. However, this explanation of force and energy is making my hair hurt! All that quick bat flip is doing is getting the bat in the proper swing plane . All the energy is coming from the potential energy stored in the coiled torso, which is then converted to kinetic (mechanical) energy as you uncoil/rotate through the hips against your feet fixed at the ground. The “force” has to be in the direction of the incoming ball “at contact” or the ball will go no where. That’s just simple physics and more specifically called momentum. If you graphed your swing force it would look like a sin wave, starting at zero at the beginning of your swing maximizing at mid point and ending at zero again. The key to being a good hitter, for power that is, beyond just having excellent hand eye coordination, is timing your swing so the peak force, at the top of the sin wave, is at the point of contact as you uncoil. This is why it’s important to keep your weight back so you do not lose the stored potential energy in the transfer of weight from back to front foot and maximize it through the rotational kinetic energy which generates the bat speed and corresponding force.

The technique in this video may not be bad, but the the explanation of the forces and energy at play here are just wrong. This is all about converting stored potential energy to mechanical kinetic energy efficiently, and timing it so the peak of of that conversion happens at the point of contact with the ball. This is of course is for maximum power. “Great” hitters are not all power hitters. Any energy that doesn’t contribute to the efficient conversion of energy, is just wasted.

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George is telling Jeter how to hit 😂. The way he’s choking up on the bat and everything.

The difference is when you’re “applying force at contact” you’re swinging AT the ball instead of THROUGH the ball. Big difference.

[williamsparks]

For me, swinging at a baseball and swinging at a golf ball are the same thing in one respect. The easier I swing the better my contact and the harder I hit it.

What’s amazing is watching Aaron judge apply exactly what you teach. I’m pretty sure I recognized this at a young age but it was never taught the way you teach it

[matthewcote]

With this advice, You will strike out 90% of the time and hit 500ft. Dingers 10% of the time ---UNLESS, you are in the 0.001 percentile

[Thimick]

Teddy ball game be rolling over in his freezer saying, hold my 🍺

[Elsanta]

Of the force and momentum stays consistent through the swing then it doesn't matter if you connect way back or in front of the plate the impact on the ball will be the same....

[bsnbloodlinesportsnetwork]

Please stop posting on hitting. You are ruining the game. I've asked to debate you and all you did was call me an idiot.

[Gringo-jq]

I’m applying force at contact point and still hitting good off 90+ plus. Don’t need to be like Aaron judge. He’s 6’7 and is a giant. No one is the same
