My 1st coach was a pretty damn good coach (Horrible teacher) he basically took everybody who was a failure and let them play for him. Since it was my first year (And my friend where on that team) i decided to play. He said i may make it to the Major or Minor League Baseball if i tried so im trying!!! Taught us the bug squash technique so im trying to remove that from my swing.

[@digitalkonfusionjoe]

I'm 47 years old and lucky enough that my body is still healthy enough to play baseball! Your videos have helped me to go "back to basics" which has helped improve my game even at my age! Now I'm an efficient lead off hitter who can still do damage without having to expend too much energy hitting .434 with 20-20 stolen bases! Thanks Coach Justin!

[@nofurtherwest3474]

how's it going, are you still playing?

[@steveterry1686]

I study as many hitting coaches as possible, and have found that Justin's instructional material is up there with the best. His presentations are clear and easy to understand. Outstanding work by Justin. Steve Terry, Peterborough

Thank you. I taught kid to hit in little league like a golfer because all I knew was golf. Now he is on travel ball where the power and control is necessary. I see the difference of balancing from back to front of a driver VS a coiling load . This is a very detailed explanation. Tweaking the concept to a baseball swing. He is almost there.

Your videos really out here saving me I’m starting late (13) first year playing and your upping my game so much thank you 🙏🏻

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

That’s awesome to hear! You’re welcome! Keep working hard and continue to get a little bit better each day

[@iamjunior5373]

It going to be hard to be good starting at 13 but keep working hard and lesson to your coach

[@anajuarez4142]

This is helping me! I didn’t make my school team and I really want to play varsity level but I have to get better and like the saying goes “Practice makes perfect”

[@r.jguerra5526]

Bro I started at 14 and now i'm 15😭😭

[@ibethgavarrete]

Never is late to start something new it depends if you believe , work hard , discipline yourself.❤

[@SP-ve1im]

This is something I been teaching my son since U5 as most coaches do not emphasize the importance of lower body balance. One thing I do differently is, I always put tee on top of home plate rather than front to make sure he doesn't rush his swing up and learn how to protect the plate. Tony Gwynn used to start his tee routine from the plate then slowly move around tee for differently angles...

[@karawunderlich3289]

Your videos have been absolutely instrumental to me and provided me the information I needed to offer good solid sound advice to my son. It’s his first year in majors, but for the past 2/3 years I’ve turned to your videos as a way to educate myself on baseball mechanics, because I did not play any youth sports myself. Thankfully, I’ve been able to make up for my lack of first hand knowledge, by watching your videos (usually more than once). I can’t express how much I appreciate the time and energy you put into your videos, and how thankful I am to have your channel to turn to. I’m a better parent because of the content you create. Infinitely grateful!

[@Rooster_king]

I sometimes tell my batters to snap your belt buckle to 3rd base (right handed hitter). Seems to help with their footwork the best.

[@tootallforbaseball]

Coaches and players should never take these videos for granted. Many have been paying big bucks for this knowledge that you have shared without charge. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise!

[@joshhart9627]

It was nice to finally find a video that broke down the lower half of a swing. There are a lot of hitters that just arms. There is so much more power than they are not tapping into.

[@johnnyjohnstone9404]

One of my favorites for baseball, technical-mechanics of the game!

[@brettblackledge3411]

Dude I literally got this notification while I was watching a video of me batting wondering I wonder how far that would go if I got my hips into that thank you so much!! Edited 0wait is is footwork video

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Well thanks for tuning in and hopefully this video will help you use your lower half more efficiently!

[@brettblackledge3411]

@@UltimateBaseballTraining always glad to get a new video from you helps me a lot!

[@Jermzjq]

I’m 15 and haven’t played base ball in 8 years and it’s really helping a lot try to get back in it the vids your making ty

[@rmoore4872]

Watched your video to hopefully get tips on how to stop the rear foot drag with my son. Surprised to see that u encourage it. Thanks for the video

[@johnwilson6319]

Very true seems to me when your front foot lands a pivot there also moves your front knee and hip when that happens as opposed to no front foot pivot or front hip opening the knob of the bat will be tighter to your back shoulder which is desirable then comes "hand action " thru the zone you know palm up palm down solid to the power triangle like your video

[@jeffgreen7499]

Thanks Justin! - Excellent Advise! I'm still learning after all these years. 😮Senior League Player.

[@jacobscialabba1816]

Thanks coach this helps because I need to start leaning towards outside pitches and throw my hands at the ball

[@DUpProductions]

Love ur pfp #STEELERSNATION

[@adamorly2971]

Hey Coach! Love the videos. Can you do a video of you doing BP? That would be super helpful!

[@adamorly2971]

Even just off the tee!

[@aaroncampbell4196]

So glad you said not to squash the bug. Drives me nuts when inexperienced coaches teach that.

[@Sirfallsalot06]

I played for 10 years and had to quit because of covid, so I'm pretty rusty. I want to get back at it, and your videos are helping alot. Thank you so much

[@troyt6864]

Great explanation in fundamentals of lower half hitting. Thanks!

[@elsee1015]

Great stuff as always man. My son is making big strides daily because of your vids. Thanks a lot bro !

[@MartianGod1968]

I took away squish bug and changed it to turn left shoulder right hip follows hands explode behind. hope that makes sense. all 6 of my kids were amazing hitters. 2 still playing.

Big question here. Can you stride by just picking up your front heel and putting it down. What advantages would say having a step helps?

Also coach Justin I know this may be late but what should my KZbin channel be called

[@hiTCAM00]

Hey guys Any pitching videos out soon?

[@standupclips2768]

So when you get into the stride position your weight is 50/50 between the feet or is it still mostly in your back leg?

[@jaxchambers7652]

THX!!!

[@opgamer9296]

for me when I do it slow by back leg gets that bent shape but when I swing full speed my back leg is not that bend and actually decently straight. any fixes or drills I can do? can I maybe send an image somehow?

[@tjc30]

More powerful hitting workout?? (video idea)

[@danmeier9645]

After the swing many of my hitters back foot will release and fall in towards the plate. Is that a problem?

[@chunkypancake1018]

What college baseball level did you play? Also you should do a draw my life video
