Thank you for this it will help teach my young athletes in Zimbabwe

[@ri-cs2kz]

Thank you this is SO helpful. I'm the least athletic in my family, and I need the knowledge to make up for the fact so I can play and help my teammates.

I watched Aaron Judge homerun paths and his body position just as you said. I am a 5X batting camp you're 100% correct in this video.

[@MARTINCAM24]

Love this!

I find "Keep your head quiet" helps hitters see the ball better.

[@antonellisoftball]

For sure!!

Great video! Nothing about a swing can work until correct posture is optimized. And the hitter works around that posture. All 10u and 12u hitters should train posture heavy with PVC above anything else. Always drives me crazy when coach yells out to a kid “keeps eyes on ball”. Or my absolute favorite “stop pulling your shoulder out!” I instantly know the coach does not know the swing. I want to hear “get into correct posture that matches height of pitch and stay in it”.

[@Samwise_92]

Cool thank u!

I love this video . I love this video because everything I teach is included in this short video. I am sure your other videos catch the other parts of this but this is a really good quick video to that points out a large number of key elements. I have coached or played softball for 50 years. Nice job.

Ted Williams famously while coaching would put pine tar on the bat and tell his MLB players where he marked the ball after hitting it. The proof was on the ball. His eyes were legendary making him an ace in fighter planes twice in props during WW II and jets in Korea.

Do you have any fitness or fielding videos?

[@antonellisoftball]

We have tons of fielding videos on KZbin. Also have an infield course. You can check the description of our KZbin videos for a link. Thanks!

Good video. I just shake my head in the 3rd base coaching box every time I hear, "keep your eye on the ball!"

[@AABradyKK]

I dunno what you're talking about buddy. The most common thing I hear when i play is "A swing anda missss"

[@twhite3850]

I have seen the ball foul tip off of my bat. I promise!

[@antonellisoftball]

That's pretty impressive!
