- In this video we are talking about 6 baseball hitting drills for players of all ages. I’ve made many videos about baseball hitting drills in the past but this time I brought in the heavy hitters (pun intended). Casey Smith of @outfronthitting on IG, Joey Lewis @thehitlabllc, and Nate Headley @nheadley14 all share their two favorite baseball hitting drills for players of all ages.

These drills are pretty much all drills that I have seen before, but the way these guys explain and narrate them is phenomenal.
You know its gold when they can talk about something you already know and you end up understanding it better.
Maddie F So true! 🙌
So True!
I absolutely love the Griffey drill! I played in the Mariners Organization from 94-99 and had numerous conversations with Jr. about hitting and he’d say he just “ walks away” from his hand and his hands naturally goes into launch position. It was fun seeing that sweet swing in spring training!
Ahh man that’s the coolest! He was so fun to watch
I love the mariners, you were on an amazing team 🫡
I love the marneirs I follow them like crazy
Ive played for fun but now ive had my first training. But this griffy drill is gonna help me alot.
But i think that pvc drill is great
That last drill with the ball on the shoulder.. that’s gold
Going to have to use that one with my daughter and her teammates.
My man needs to not come from his Lumberjack job lol
Looks like a lot of pop outs to me.
@@pamelaladner9459 how did the drill go, it looks good for the hips rotation but it doesn't create load separation. Did it help your daughter improve her swing.
@@ramotav honestly dont remember. My daughter was a senior then. I remember her going through a slump but I don't remember what drills I used to help her. She wound up batting over 500 because she got an award for it, but whether I incorporated this drill or not, I can't remember.
Man that disconnect drill is crazy smart. I love all these drills but that one I’ve never seen before. Thanks for sharing guys.
I can’t believe I received that knowledge in baseball for free (minus cellular data and time spent watching). I appreciate this and my sons will be doing the first and third guy’s drills. Good stuff
May I question why not the second guys drills?
@@chancey540 maybe his son doesn’t need work on that
I wish the orange shirt guy was my coach, he seems like he could help me hit more homers.
He’s the man!
Casey Smith is the best in the game right now. A+ stuff
John Burke he is the man!
The 3rd guy drill has made me realize what I’ve been doing wrong at the batting cages. Can’t believe this video was free!
Thank you Coach, this is valuable information for all age hitters. The three coaches also gave very specific hitting drills. Will definitely implement these drills with my youth and high school team. Thank you once again.
this helps so much. i’m going into high school next year and i’m dedicated towards baseball. thank you this is amazing.
Good luck bro I’m going nex year too and I’m dedicated towards baseball
Good luck bro i made the freshmen team just stay out your own head thats what killed alot of good players
i know im late but , im in my freshman year & i made the team too. hope you made it & i never played baseball ever & now im in love
Same and good luck
Good luck kid!
I am going into middle school baseball and this helps me get a little better [edit 6 months later I was on the bench for most of the year and now I'm back on this video]
cap
@@PhD23 what?
that is cap
@@PhD23 what are you talking about idiot
@@LandonChurch15 everybody i am sorry for saying that that is cap. But I do think saying that I am an idiot is very mean. Come to channel and I will show you my videos. and songs.
dude the second guy.. his drip is on point. the shoes, the hat and the swing. swagger 1000!!
Great breakdown on hitting! Thank you!
Great techniques! Thank you guys!
This has helped me so much in baseball and I am now one of the best hitters on the team! THANK YOU!!
Great job Coaches!!! The PVC drill and the ball drill are great!!!
Thank you soooo much! This helps so much and has done me wonders!
The PVC drill and ball drill fantastic. Thanks
FUEGO!!!! Woo! Love it!!!!
Chanterprise It’s Mr. Ron Howard himself @Chanterprise
YouGoProBaseball 🤣🤣🤣
Swing path is so important !!! If the kid can master that from a young age he will crush !
Love these drills!
thank you for all the help, love this
Hey guys, I want to give a huge congrats to the first guy talking about balance. What he said about being in an athletic position, has really really helped me. I am a 13 year old starting baseball, and I am getting better, also when I swing should I bring my elbows in or keep them straight?
Perfect tips from skilled guys. Thank you.
Excellent content. 👏👏👏
Thanks! Definitely gonna ace baseball tryouts s now!
All great drills! Many thanks to everyone.
Great stuff, Thank you for sharing!
That first swing......... damn.
Can't wait to learn these drills so I can teach my little leaguers. Great video!
Really Enjoy PVC path drill. Great Knowledge!
Excellent they went thru different swings, yeah! Kids there teaching you how to break thier records, listen!
Very good stuff guys, working with kids daily and these are def some of the most common issues we see.
Y’all are the best people ever
This video is gold. Thank you
JeyRod you’re welcome
Very useful
Appreciate it guys! My son (11yrs) wants to play so good starting point for hitting. Thx
those tips really helped me thanks for the video
Balance is key to everything... I used to give golf lessons and the first tip offered in this video is exactly how I would present golf swing theory with new clients. "How would you catch a medicine ball?"... get there and swing.
lol
A lot of good stuff here!
J S Thanks 👊😉
The best instructor there is the MRI of Hitting lol: the first one from Upfronting. He can pick your swing apart and put back together in a way that you would never imagine
What do you recommend to do with smaller stature players to produce more “pop” in their swing? Thanks for all the videos. Really appreciate everything your page is doing for coaches & players by providing valuable information that we can implement into our daily routines.
Get in the gym if they are of age. Best thing to do for power. Everything else is secondary.
@@YouGoPro Hey thank you, what do you feel is of age?
@@joeray8868 I say 14, but that's just my opinion. A lot of it depends on how much testosterone they have, which varies from person to person.
Fun to come across this video. We’re from Nolensville and wish we could have met you when you were here. I know Joey well and glad he brought Hit Lab here. Thanks again for everything, your videos have been very helpful over the years.
The first guys just swung on a tee and talked. Telling kids what to do only works so so in my experience. The third guy gave actual drills so the kids could see tangible results. Love that!!
So good...
great information!
Thank you
BABYNUTZZ 313 You’re welcome
Weired I hit lefties better from the left. Acevedo had a wicked slider, smiling it would move wicked. Hard to hit him. Big up Al!
Great drills. love the ones using the PVC pipe. Lots of reference to "the boys", just remember girls play ball too ;)
yea the pipe and the ball on the shoulder ... good stuff!
Cool. Thanks for the great drills. How long should the PVC pipe be, relative to a batters height?
Without youtube I would be nothing thanks for the drill it really helped
Super helpful
I like the PVC guy in the end
Great stuff. What are your thoughts on not striding? Just a wide stance and use the heel strike to fire? I’m trying to help my 9 year old so I want to simplify and help him with his timing issues
Great video. Curious what size/length is the pvc for 50/50 drill?
John Fonseca 5 ft
You really help me! 🙏
👊😉
Awesome instruction....
Where were these guys when I was in little league?
good drills
Hell yeah thank you
Thanx a lot 4 ur drills
You’re welcome
Hey Coach Madden, what is that angled unit on the tee that Coach Smith is using? Thanks for all the great content, btw!
Shamus Beauchamp Launch Angle Tee
Thanks Coach!
Great vid... can u guys do some pitching vids as well for us POs
Ryan yessir you got it!
Well said, great direction from the 1st guy, ive been using this with my 12-13 club and every player looks like a pro now. Thankyou
Awesome video
Thanks 🙏🏽
Great video
619 San Diego Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 💕
This is Great!

We do a drill our coach taught us, where he ties a rope at waist height, and we have to swing the bat, but the bat has to remain in contact with the rope throughout the swing. It really helps to hit the ball with better elevation.
Coach Casey my guy!!
i wish i had this advice in high school!
Top 2 for me- isolating parts of the swing and the Soto drill
awesome
This was a very good video
is good.
Guys who don’t get it will actually think the player is late on the ball with that correct swing path! Really their gonna do so much better against off speed and pitches away .
Love it! What is the length of the pvc pipe?
5 ft
Mason Ochinero sorry to burst your bubble but you where pretty confident that the pipe was 5’ and your %100 incorrect lol...that would mean that the guy is like 2’ tall lol 🙄...the correct answer is that the pipe is around 8’
Pipe is about 8’
How many reps at each drill? All before seeing live BP correct?
⚡⚡⚡ Thanks for the time ⌚
Really awesome stuff!! I do have to say the hardest thing to do in sport depends a lot on the athlete. Tony Gwyn probably found hitting a baseball a whole lot easier than he would trying to survive an NFL pass rush.
It's just a pet peeve of mine. Every sport has its extreme difficulties. That said, thanks again for the tips!!!
My son is really struggling with what coach Headley was saying at the end. He goes out and then cuts across the ball. Almost as if you were trying to create a curve in ping pong. Anyone have any other drills we could do to work on this? Thanks.
What do you guys film with? The video quality is A+!
The last drill will help me so much I’m in 8th grade playing varsity and that is the missing part in my swing
Coach, Great, Great Video, lots of insight from the gentlemen!
Mike Saiz 🙏🏻 I agree
nice vid helped my son he is on Maryland
good video
Hi Coach Madden my name is Brennan Willis and I have problem I have a nervous habit of sliding m y back foot right before the pitch is thrown ants tips on how to prevent that from happening thanks for all your awesome videos.
When do you teach to stride? I was told, as soon as the pitcher moves, the batter moves. Can you elaborate?
Approx. Yes. That's why first tips on balance and athletic position are so important. Wind up or stretch..batter has to work with lead leg depth, heel up & down, time him. Mirror him
This maid my kid a star
For the 50/50 PVC drill, how long is the PVC that needs to be used? 5ft? 6ft?
Helped me
Where can I get a ball like the one used on the connection ball drill?
ugoprobaseball.com/product/connection-ball-12/
One of the really good things to notice here is the big toe of that back foot is almost directly down into the ground, like a spike. This is usually a very good sign for your swing mechanics.
can you make a video to help with aiming the bat?
Don’t know if I quite understand the pvc drill I’m sure watching it another time will help me.
Great Video... ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Phaith Jones 👊😉
Connected turn insight is really. That would mean you are showing hips and shoulder movement to hit the ball?
good
Do you guys offer boot camps, something where we can come to a 2-4 day clinic?
