Okay, sounds good! Thanks for the feedback!
Ultimate Baseball Training Hey Coach how about a video on hip shoulder separation for pitching.
Haven't rolled over SINCE thanks for the tips
Worked for rod carrew
Players, coaches & parents - I just came across this video and, IMHO, every detail Coach Justin mentioned in this video is spot on. Save this video and refer to it often.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 🙏🏼
This helped so much. I love getting hits, but I don’t like getting ground ball hits instead of line drives or deep flies. All of your videos literally speak to the subject that I need to hear.
I'm glad to hear the videos are helping you man! Thank you for watching!
Thanks Coach Justin! Your videos are always super clear, and you leave plenty of room for nuance (no "one true way"). Appreciate the help!
I love these videos! Going to practice these drills today!
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching! Let me know how it goes!
Hi coach! Thanks gonna implement these drills tonight for my 11u softball team!
Thanks for the video bro! I play slowpitch softball and have adjusted my batting stance that allows me to hit for way more authority and power. My teammates have taken notice so have our opponents, but I'm still surprising many of them especially when they play me shallow. boom!
from middle school-high school, we were taught to roll-over and to squish the bug 😑
Sometimes I wish I wldnt have been so "coachable"!!
Thanks for the video. My old ass plays slow pitch softball and apparently my stance has been too wide without much of a stride and have not been hitting for any power whatsoever, but I've corrected it by watching your videos and I'm back to my old self with a minor adjustment. 2 thumbs up!
great video as always justin. this really helped me out
Thanks Trey! I'm glad to hear this really helped you out!
Been watching your videos for a long time and just realized I haven't subscribed! So now I subscribed and keep up the good work! I love your content and this is probably the most helpful channel in all of CZcams. I've been struggling lately with hitting and I think the content of your channel will help me out, so THANK YOU!
Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate that and so glad the videos are helpful!
Really good stuff here Justin. Thanks

You're welcome, Luis! Thanks for watching!
THANKS COACH!! I'M ON IT!
You're welcome man!!
Thanks it helped me hit my first homerun
Let's go!! Awesome to hear that!!
This helped so much thank you bro
You’re welcome bro! Thanks for watching!
How to Turn a Double Play from all positions, and how to do it the FASTEST. That would help a lot! Thank you!
Good idea! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Great video!!! Can you do a video on left hander groundball footwork!!!
Left handed footwork would be just the opposite of right handed... so left right, catch, left right throw!
Great video coach Justin thank you! I just start coaching young boy of 8-9 years old and their biggest weakness is how to position the glove when catching the ball. If you have a drill I will love it 😊
again good stuff Justin
Thanks Thomas! 👍
Thanks for the great videos man. I’ve watched dozens maybe hundreds of diff videos from diff people so I can refresh on all the stuff I learned as a youngster and attempt to pass it on to my kids. By far you and your videos are at the top of all the people submitting videos and by far the things you say and knowledge for the game BY FAR exceeds 99% of all the other garbage on CZcams. Really appreciate the time you take to post things and we pay close attention to what you have to say. Keep up all the good posts man. If you required us to pay to subscribe I would but I’m grateful it’s free knowledge your giving out and thankful your willing to do so. Much appreciated. Awesome ACCURATE stuff. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you SO MUCH for the support! I really appreciate your kind words and it's comments like this that keep me going!
Nice video. My son sometimes casts around to the ball. We will practice keeping our arms closer to body. Thanks
This helped. I’ve been in a slump hitting like this for a month.
Godbless you man This helped
Good stuff. I finally know what casting is. I do that rollover stuff all the time. I hit some of the hardest grounders to short you've ever seen.
Hopefully this video helps you turn those into hard line drives!
exactly i square up the ball and hit it right on the barrel but its a ground ball and its so frustrating because if i didnt roll over it would have been over the outfielders.
I cant believe ive been doing this wrong all this time ive been hitting rolled over balls for the longest time not being able to figure out why this video helped me a unbelievable amount. Im playing 14U and just hit 3 doubles 2 triples and 2 hrs after watching all of the things i need to work on from your vids. Thanks Coach!
Anyone hits "doubles and triples and Hrs" in the comment section Vinny dude
the first thing you said really worked for me
I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
love the vids bro!! i have been rolling over like crasyyy u helped alot and do u coach any travel or school teams?
Good video man! how about a video about how to warm up properly before a game
That's a solid idea Brian. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback!
Very Good video
I can smash home runs all day with an effortless swing with palm up, to the point of lead foot, then exaggerated turn over. This also prevents "swinging for the fence" slumps. Quick turnover just prior to contact greatly increases bat speed.. Unless you actually feel what I'm talking about, you'll never know.. but if I didn't have my swing, I'd adopt something like this.
Thanks
thanks im going to start doing these i keep hitting weak grounders on pitches right down the middle
Can you make a video of how to stay ready for multiple positions? Like going from outfield to infield or switching infield positions. Thanks, love the vids!
Good idea! I'll see what I can do! Thanks for watching!
Seconded. Coach Justin, you are the most trusted source of game play improvement on the web for my team and I.
this is my biggest problem at the plate. thanks so much!
It’s cuz u like the Cubs 🐖 the Cardinals are better
@@flameshreds8450 lol
Legit video i enjoyed it really good and yeah i used to hit it bad now i hit it greatly powerful bye
Boom! Happy to hear that!
Thats right coach you knows what im talking about
Thank you sooo much!
I really hope to make my high school team it's just I'm not the best so I can try
You're welcome! Best of luck and keep working hard!
Did u make it bro
@@bradyeggleston1112 yea but the coach just had us hit off a tee for an hour as practice so I didn't do it this year
The Park Ranger glad to hear u made it bro
thanks
Hey coach Justin love the videos keep them up they help me with my 11 year old but his problem seems to be when he swings he's more upright he doesn't really pull his left shoulder out but he swings from a more straight up position instead of keeping his left shoulder kind of dip and driving his body through the ball when he swings I'm struggling to fix it I don't know if you have any pointers on that thank you preciate your time God bless. He he bats right-handed I hope that made sense on how I described his hitting
I think I understand what you mean! It seems like he's probably not allowing his front shoulder to lower in his load and then not letting his back shoulder lower when he actually swings. I'd make sure he understands that you don't actually swing "level." He's probably trying to do that which is why he's so upright. Instead, you have to have a good spine angle and some tilt. Show him the thumbnail on this video... the picture of me on the left with the green checkmark is the way he wants to look at contact. My right shoulder is lower than my left and I've got tilt! Definitely not swinging level.
My son picked up a terrible batting habits this year... the last one is his problem.
Good looking out
Your demonstrations are great! How can I help a 12yo little league player who can hit homers and hard line drives all day in practice but frequently strike out in games. Maybe a drill to simulate fast pitches without a pitching machine is the answer or are there other factors at play? Thanks for all the great advice you provide.
I doubt that the fast pitches are the issue, unless you can clearly see that he is late on the fastball. It probably has to do with a combination of things. If he's trying to always hit home runs, he could be pulling off the ball. He might not have the proper mental approach at the plate. He might not fully understand how to protect the plate and battle with two strikes. Why do you think he strikes out? Is there anything that really stands out?
Ultimate Baseball Training He sometimes swings too early because he has a quick bat. Sometimes he is swings over the ball. He will foul one right field and foul one left field with the same pitcher. He has really good form, is a lefty. He says he just tries to put the bat on the ball because he knows he can easily hit it out of that park but almost always misses first pitch at bat in games.

Love the videos. Thanks. Have watched many of yours and this one is also a great fit for me. Justin have you thought about setting up a Patreon account or something similar? If you did I'd be happy to pay.
Awesome Neal, I'm glad to hear that! The best way someone can support our channel is by picking up our training programs on our website!
Hes paying u just by watching the video too lol
Is there a way I can send you a video of my swing so you can look at it and tell me what’s wrong with it? I’ve lost a lot of power because I was injured and kept playing which caused bad habits but I’m not sure what they are or how to fix them. Let me know if you can help. Thanks
I have a question. Why would you teach contact with a tee up ball over the middle of the plate? Seems late to me. A pitch in that location of the plate would need to be attacked in front of the plate to get the most power and best lift...thoughts
Ideally you’d make contact with a middle pitch about even with your front foot!
@@UltimateBaseballTrainingThe commenter neglected to notice that you were deep in the box. The contact position is dependent on the ball’s relationship to the hitter, not the plate!
no problem
Can you make a video on how to take care of your knees I am a catcher and after a tournament my knees hurt a bit you got any tips?
I'd make sure you're in a good stance first. If you're not, that could cause some pain and issues. I'll try to make a video on this soon!
First off if you are catching you will have bad knees - this is from 20+ years experience :). A couple of things you can do to help out are as follows:
Develop your quad muscles (thighs with squats with weights, deadlifts with a trap bar, and straight leg raises. Get an ankle weight 5-10 lbs, and do front raises, side raises, and rear raises to work and develop all of the synergistic muscles around the knee to get them stronger.
Your stance with nobody on base should be one where your feet are wider and knees brought in close where your butt close to the ground. This will take the strain off your knees and place it on your thighs and hips. This helped me out a lot.
KC
man up
Could you fully swing using the method?
Thanks coach I think you gave me the solution to the reason my son is hitting tons of ground balls.
Happy to hear that! I hope this video really helps. Thanks for watching!
Does all of this work for softball? Because I roll over bad.
Yes, it absolutely works for softball as well.
Do you live in Tennessee
No, but Tennessee is a beautiful part of the country!
I feel like my son hits ground balls because he is hitting the ball too far in front of the plate most of the time. People are always telling him that it is this mechanic movement or that. I think it is hard to extend the arms after contact when he does this because it it easier to roll over or swipe through the swing when you are out front too far. People in the stands automatically assume that if you hit it to the right side that you were late on it. If you watch it in slow mo, most of the time he is actually still out front too far, but on an outside pitch. With no extension he just swipes through and the ball and it glances off the bat to the right. If this happens a lot, is this caused from timing mainly or mechanics? I feel bad timing always causes bad mechanics. We always watch the great players hitting home runs and rarely study their bad hits. Their mechanics always seem perfect when they hit a dinger. If you watch them get fooled on a pitch and hit it too far out front and ground out then their mechanics look terrible. I want drills that focus on timing mechanisms. I see so many kids with perfect looking swings because of all the instruction they have had but they can't hit worth a damn because they can't read the pitch and time it up. I wish someone would master this timing different pitching deliveries and being on time thing. I know that is what natural hitters can do but can it be taught? With the ability to break it down in such detailed slow motion it looks like we could teach a kid to a least get a letter better at it. It is a shame to see a young kid that can hit the ball 400 feet but just can't seem to figure out the timing mechanism against live pitching consistently. I think when timing and decent mechanics come together you get an above average hitter. Any response to this ridiculously long post is appreciated.
How to hit it high
You mean the high pitch? Or how to hit it high and far like a home run?!
Hit it high like a home run because ever time I hit a ball it rolls to the pitcher or the first baseman
Plz soemone help me. I am 13 years old and I am struggling to stay short and pulling everything I'm even struggling on the tee someone help
Plz!
might be as simple as moving up in the box, even during tee work. especially at slower pitch speeds, sitting back in the box is a surefire way to arrive early and pull everything hard. try inching up and see what that does for ya!
coach justin do you know how to play softball
I know how it is played, but I've never played it competitively.
"Hands above the ball" is the better term instead of "on top of the ball".
I guess Ronald Acuna is doing it wrong, his bat is straight up and down when he is in his launch position? 3:58 of video
Hey your video is fine but the issue I have is all the hitting instructors on you tube seen to place the tee at waist level. Show me how to hit with your approach pitches at the knees,,, and lower,,,, 3 plus inches of the plate. That's what we see in tournaments, not rec ball.
12th
Thanks for watching man!
Coach I left Instagram msg, please check it!
You should be glad bub
Don't EVER listen to what they think they do...watch what they do.
YES! Couldn't agree MORE!
Please stop adding the background music. Kinda distracting
Alfonso Tobon I agree
Okay, thanks for the feedback!
aren’t you dropping your shoulder tho i always watch ur vids but my coach says it looks as if you are dropping your shoulders
This guy’s videos are three times longer than they need to be. The information is good, but he repeats yourself too much. I rarely sit through a whole video.
Coach- not sure what’s going with the music but it’s terrible and distracting. The video is solid tho.
Thanks for the feedback man. At least you find the video helpful!
I don't know if I've seen a worse baseball field
Id like to know how many of these kids are working with computers nowadays. 😂
Hey dads, your son is never going to make the major leagues. It’s a one out of 300,000 probability.
Unless he was born in the Dominican republic or eats sleeps, shits, and drinks baseball stop voicing your time and money either they have it or they don’t.
Why are you such a useless human
what if... crazy thought.. some people just play baseball for fun? what if some dads care more about sharing something with their sons, rather than their sons "making it"? what if the pursuit of skill development is its own reward? your zero-sum logic (either you make the show, or you're a waste) is cynical and cruel. get a grip.
@@ckaledin I always shot from the hip. No nonsense. You’ll get a lot less from most people, nothing but BS and lied to.
Of course, you can prove me wrong and tell me if you know anybody who’s son bypassed hundreds of thousands of people and made it to the major leagues, and better yet stayed there.
Think about it, man, the greatest hitters the game has ever known, didn’t watch CZcams videos to get there.
Mike Trout and get on top of baseball is all about FEEL... Proper way to hit is from top to bottom.... so he wants to stay on top.... and not drop his bat head. This guy does not know high level hitting at all.....
OMG! Would you just hit the dang ball already!!
Terrible video unless you want to hit towering pop ups
You talk to much do what your teaching
