as a hitting coach and former mlb'er i know says, "they're all kind of right"... my add collapsing early is always bad, you don't collapse you turn first and tilt to the ball, your bat will plane, don't force it to plane.

This coulda been a 5sec short form video. Video of Griffey hitting a homerun 😂😂 Still really enjoyed the video. I enjoy the in depth breakdowns!

Griffey jr and Manny ramirez best swings ever in mlb

Best swing was BONDS. And Gwynn, Griffey

Agianst the Cardinals😂😂😂😂

How does this channel only have 3k subs? Everything about this video was so good. From the background jazz music, to the commentary to the content itself...🤌🏻 so good

Will Clark always had the smoothest swing to me. Similar swing and launch angle as Griffey Jr.

What is a changup? Still have no idea. - This old man

Wow. A hitting view without BS. Facts no feelings. Rare these days. The holes in batters swings these days is a pitchers dream.

Where's the balk?

I did not see a balk. Just a pitcher following through the pitch.

That was on the borderline for sure. Sucks to lose that way

this channel is crazy underrated

Robinson Cano had a smooth swing also

Ohtani's swing is the best ever

Robinson Cno, Nelson Cruz, and Alfonso Soriano had some of the best swings ever. The way Robinson Cano created his rhythm and whip on his swing was so smooth and effortless and absolute perfection! Then the way Nelson Cruz maintained bat path on his swing made him a great hitter. Then ole Alfonso Soriano who looked like he was swinging a log at the plate and was the best at creating lift on contact and using his legs to create that lift and launch. All different swings and great hitters!

What a great video! I am 56 years old and i still enjoy hitting. I go to the batting cages every chance I get. Years ago my batting cage that i went to had a curve ball machine , i can make contact in the fast ball cage but i looked foolish in the curve ball cage. It was 12 to 6 just like you described. I had to force myself to swing lower than what my mind was telling me too just to make contact. Pitch identification is truly the key. Get ready to hit the fastball then make adjustments from there.

What exactly does it mean to "stay inside the baseball"? I dont' get it

Great video

Great video ! Too many coaches forget that unless a youngsters fundamental swing is just totally screwed up, it doesn't matter what you tell them to do if it's uncomfortable...feeling comfortable in the box is huge ! And I think you made a great point with "Semantics"...to me, "getting on top of the ball" didn't mean swinging at the top half...my goal was always to hit the ball hard consistently and you accomplish that by A) Making sure each AB you get at least one pitch in a zone where you consistently crush the ball B) Getting barrel to ball as quickly as possible and keeping the ball "Barrelled up" thru your entire swing. Again, "getting on top of the ball doesn't mean you're "chopping down" on the ball. To me, and maybe this is just me, I always felt most comfortable "Throwing my hands" ( and the barrel ) at the pitch...and the quickest way to do that ( for me ) was throwing the bat from my back shoulder at maybe a 30 degree downward plane ( depending on pitch location ) and as my front foot hits and I "pop" my hips the swing would level out ( actually with a slight upswing ) naturally ! That's what felt most comfortable to me. BUT...I was weird. I switch hit and unlike most switch hitters I had totally different stances, set - ups and timing mechanisms between Lefty and Righty. I was mostly a pull hitter, with a lot more power Lefty, I struck out more Lefty ( but my swing looked prettier doing it than Righty, LOL ) Righty, I was more of a line drive hitter with gap power that hit to all fields and didn't strike out much. I never tried to figure out why I was so different Righty vs Lefty...as I said, I just did what felt comfortable. I guess if I had to sum it up quickly...Righty, I looked like a Charley Lau disciple, Lefty, I looked like a Ted Williams "Science of Hitting" student. But again great video ! I could talk hitting for HOURS !

Bonds most compact and efficient.. Griffey more sweet

I grew up a Ken Griffey Jr mark as a kid, had his shoes, had his jersey, had his cleats. I modeled my entire game after him. I didn’t have the power like him as a kid but I could hit for average and if you left one hanging because I copied his swing I could send a ball flying out of the park on occasion. The Kid.

Best player ever imo. Griffey Jr

Your opinion is wrong. It has nothing to do with lunch angle! Spin rate and resulting fast ball movement is the direct cause!

Ichiro Gwyn Manny Pedroia do not push the barrel through the zone. High pitches are line drives when swinging correctly. Teacherman is correct via the fruits of his students

Most honest video I've seen!

I bought one of these for my 8 year old son and he broke it on his third swing :( (he hit on his swing, whoops!)

Strikeouts have gone up, but so has runs per game. Pitching has gotten harder to hit over the last 2 decades. Batters adjusted to be better sluggers when they do make contact to compensate. More strikeouts, sure, but better to get the double/rbi or homerun on the next AB than to hit singles and get stranded on first or second because judy can't get his mis hit off a modern splitter past today's great defenders.

basically begin your swing with a gather and doesnt matter what happens after that, if you contact the ball and use your hips to thrust the bat youll be a amazing hitter.

My favorite pitchers were knuckleball pitchers. I wish we saw it more often. I just love watching a knuckleball.

Great stuff

There’s no thing as a perfect swing. Every body is different. Arms, legs, torso, just like throwing. These guys try to make it more complicated just so they can seem smarter, techno crap

Unpopular opinion, Ken Griffey Jr swing is overrated. There I said it!

Very well done vidéo. Thanks.

I tell all my hitters just to swing like Griffey

Top of the ball you can control it, less likely to get extra bases though. Coaches want average. Looks better on resume.

Using a round bat to try to hit a round ball coming at you at 90mph with english on it is still the hardest thing in sports. In baseball, you are considered an all time great if you fail 7 times out of 10.

This isn't really "Pete Rose On Hitting". It's somebody who isn't Pete Rose telling us what he thinks of Pete Rose. Click bait.

What's the name of the song at the start?

I learned nothing.

Study the pitcher Decide which pitch you want Prepare to swing at every pitch Understand count probability Hit the breaks once unwanted pitch is identified No breaks if unwanted pitch is not identified Always expect to swing!

I love the videos they are short and simple

When computers instead of umpires were used to call balls and strikes during a testing run in the minors recently, the pitchers were happy because the computer was finally calling the very high strike. These would be strikes at the very top of the zone that umps traditionally have not called strikes, even though they ARE in the strike zone. These strikes are the hardest pitches to hit. A power hitter has to work very hard to get a good launch angle on it. The hitters that would do best with this strike are the finesse hitters/ contact hitters. So if computers eventually do end up being the home plate ump, you'll probably see yet another change in batting swing trends.

Very cool editing. Was it done in Adobe Premiere? One question I have is, is the ball moving shown in the perspective of the batter or the pitcher?

Let me guess. He never sat the bench and played every minute in every big game.

This explains nothing
