This is the single best hitting advice I've ever found on youtube. Excellent demonstration and explanation. Superb job.

[phardiman]

Solid video. I wish we could hear what you were saying to this kid during the session, to know how it was all explained in a way the player could easily understand and absorb it. I find that to be the hardest part of coaching. What's in my head may translate to something different in the players head, or they may not understand me at all.

Oh this was perfect. My son is doing the exact same thing with his lead arm. Now I can really show him what he's doing and what needs to change. Another great vid, Matt!

There's so many YouTube hitting instructors out there - but I like your instructions and have successfully implemented them last summer - with great results! It's very similar the The Hitting Vault - and somewhat dare I say it, to TeacherMan's but all in slightly different terms. There is one YouTuber who I checked out called, TheSwingMechanic who teaches the arm-bar on the left video - He builds his philosophy off Griffey Jr's swing and calls it front arm compression against the chest... I've pretty much rejected his style although I'll get into a cage soon and try different things. It's all so confusing - but I still like your methods, Matt! I'll keep watching :)

My son was doing the exact same thing a year ago. Great video and explanation!! Video is so essential for them to see and correct mistakes

@08:55 That is like Teachermanhitting with that one legged snap. I noticed this a bit with the kid too. My kids have the same issue with that right elbow going more forward and taking that longer path. It's much better now, but as the velo goes up, can't sit on it as long now. The timestamp I show is exactly how I got him to realize it. One legged forces you to get there. Once you get there, then it's a matter of practice on that shoulder tilt (Most coaches yell, fast hands, knob to the ball, stop dipping shoulder - all nonsense!) and then that snap and swing, which is as you show here everything all at once coiled, stretched and explode.

This is awesome! Makes complete sense to me and (most importantly my 9 year-old). Please keep the lessons coming. Thanks for all your help!

[andybufano]

Thanks very much for your help. Amazing difference in just 1 hour.

[hadoukevl]

My son is just now developing this long swing and never did it before (9yr old) thanks for the video, always great info no matter how long ago you posted

[petersuit]

I sure wish the coaches had today’s technology. As a major fan and once player. And now a Dad, who’s sons playing the best game ever “Baseball” I’ve watched many videos on how to help him. Respectfully yours is Definitely amazing I’ve been working on his muscle memory and many hours of hitting off a T and soft tossing to him. And he’s going to watch this video like 👍🏻 I just did so he can see how important bat speed is. As he’s already learning the pictures are getting faster, thus the time to swing is Definitely a lot shorter and anyone who’s ever played. This video shows just how little time a batter has to swing and I Truly appreciate seeing and listening to what you’ve said. Thanks for sharing this with us, The Suit3

Thank you Mike for paying it forward. God bless you. By the way your boy is amazing at his age. I'm sure that brings you many smiles. Keep up the good work

[aceting]

Brilliant video. Love the philosophy! Keep it up, sir!

[steveterry]

This is a great example of what we typically see when working for the first time with younger players.

Great advice easy to understand instructions!!

[mlb_zity]

Great stuff like always!!! I was working with a kid last wk doing this Something and an hr in the cage together the wkend game he did great, thank you again for sharing great info….

[Holyghost_]

I did this with my son And he is making solid contact now. Thanks

[PatrickIsland-oh]

Hey. Just wondering what app your using to analyze the swings? Thanks

[thomastisdale]

Matt I am forwarding the link to youth and high school coaches in our community. A Major problem hitting instruction is the cue "take the hands to the ball". This cue leads
to major swing problems when the hitter graduates to a 90' diamond. Have you ever done a video on the most critical misinterpreted cues used by hitting instructors?
Thanks for what you do for baseball and softball.
