How Often Did I Practice In High School?

[@mattg4836]

I jacked up my swing for a while from taking too much batting practice at the batting cages and taking a few months away from swinging helped more than any amount of practice

[@Mitten4371]

Yea your path is almost similar to mine because I began playing travel ball at age 13 and when the season was over then we would meet at a batting cage and hit off of machines and that would be in the winter months. I never made it to college or pro but travel ball made me a better ball player. But it showed because I was able to make it with my highschool team

Real OG bro. The sandlot talk is underrated, real skill can be developed completely on one’s own. You know you’re going to give it everything you have in said game just to talk later about what you did on the Diamond. Great stuff brother

This is exactly what I need! Love the training advice from a pro, please keep it coming!

Awesome!!! Good luck to you! Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

Cool vid. So when U got drafted who did “experts” and baseball people say your comparison was as a player know a days 1st rounders always have comps.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Lot of people said Aaron Hill. Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@y.sasuke451]

Antonelli Baseball hey that would be awesome to be compared to him he had a couple big years

[@robertstanley4644]

Man, this is a GREAT post. Fan of your channel for a long time.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thanks Robert!!! Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@TandTomletsplayMC]

heard that you are helping out in the Brookline babe Ruth league. I play parkway babe Ruth which is in West Roxbury right next to Brookline. Really wish that I could get the chance to meet you and get some good tips from you especially since I am just starting varsity baseball in my freshman year.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Yes I helped run clinics this winter. Maybe you can get to one of our clinics down the road. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@TandTomletsplayMC]

Yeah no problem. Will definitely in the future try to make it to one if you clinics!

[@kaylon39]

Good advice, other sports throughout the year will keep you in shape. I was fortunate to have a college coach help me out and some 3A players gave great tips. It's a more complex game than people think.

[@BeTTaPacKaZombiE]

I got a video suggestion, what a happens when a team using up the entire pitcher line up and the last picther is inhured

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Throw in a position player. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@y.sasuke451]

man i love your channel. this is good stuff keep making great videos my man

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Thank you!!! Thanks for watching our stuff and for commenting!

[@redbaseball967c8]

can you do a video on developing proper throwing mechanics after they have developed bad habits? Pitching and catching have made awful mechanics

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I'll do my best to get something up here! Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@duckfan2448]

What position did you play in hockey? If you played college hockey would you have gone to a school in MA?

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I played center. And probably would have stayed local. Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@haydenbullock1813]

Did you guys ever play the Beavercreek Sox with the warhawks? We’re in Dayton Ohio and we played the warhawks.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I don't believe so, but it was a while ago

[@kennethreichelt]

Sport specialization is dumb. The cream of the crop is god given ability that all the practice in the world wont get you. The phenoms will rise to the top naturally. Play every sport for as long as you can.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I agree! Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@Luis-rf7tb]

Hi Matt, how you doing. I have a couple of questions: 1) At this moment of your life, how do you stay in shape? 2) Do you play recreational sport (baseball, hockey...)? Congratulations for your channel, it's very interesting.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I don't try lol. I'm lucky, eat horribly and stay in shape. Thanks for watching our videos!

Stupid travel ball kinda unfair

[@BallDontLie-zp9hc]

How did u get noticed as a high school player? Also should I play summer ball or practice on my own with my friends? Thank you and keep up the good work👍🏾

[@AntonelliBaseball]

I have some videos that talk a lot about both of these. Check out our q&a playlist. Thanks for watching our videos!

Thanks Jay!

[@natediaz6759]

Is it better for me to play on a high school team that is in the fourth Best conference in the city and starting in the middle infield and batting .516 or playing in the best Conference in the city but playing in the outfield and with a lower batting average?

[@josborne711lupinesports4]

I can't tell you for sure because I don't really know your situation (a lot probably goes into that decision besides just school baseball prestige), but I'd say it depends. If I were you, I would play the best competition and hit the best pitching available because I want to play at the next level and if I can't survive any conference of hs ball then odds are I won't survive college ball. To be honest, I don't care where I'm hitting in the lineup as long as I'm in it, and it can't hurt to learn outfield either (I might be a lil biased as an outfielder) as long as you keep your other skills sharp. But like I said, I know nothing about your situation; if you just want to enjoy your season, then your safest bet is probably to stick to the conference where you're a stud. So basically it depends on your goals. Btw I'm just a little high school pud too so don't take anything I say too seriously.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Tough to say. Depends where you want to play I guess. Thanks for watching our stuff and commenting!

[@sixshot4]

I don’t know if this is already answered but have u ever considered going oversees to play while struggling???

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Nah never thought about it. Wanted to play in MLB. Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@yunghanhuang8188]

It sounds a lot to me you practiced, do you think your wrist injuries might related to hockey? I think even high school players should have one month off every year, just go fishing or some easy activities, but you made it to pro so maybe that worked for you

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Not sure! I always liked doing something athletic. Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@yunghanhuang8188]

@@AntonelliBaseball hey Matt, if the relay cutoff shortstop was standing in wrong direction(toward 2b) and asked for ball on a triple hit but outfielder insisted to throw to 3b direction, who's fault?

[@ljw3491]

I think the best baseball players have been those who played many sports in their youth. Kids now are brainwashed into having to go to clinics, practice, practice, practice and lots of those kids burn out mentally. Let's be real, if a kid has natural ability and refines that ability and can do it while having fun doing it, he will likely excel. To much of anything is to much.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

For sure!!!

[@mikeyj10]

Just came across your channel and have been bingeing all these Q&A videos, great stuff. I always wondered what options guys have if they don’t want to play in the organization that drafted them for whatever reason. I know in hockey guys can go play in Europe and make a living or go to college an become an UFA after they graduate, but that doesn’t seem to be an option for baseball. Thanks for putting out the great vids.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Really aren't many options. They could go play in a different country I guess. Thanks for watching our stuff!!!

[@joe_sindell]

I play one other sport and I train a lot during the off season. A couple days ago I got benched for making my first error of the season on a fairly hard play. I am pissed because I am a sophomore and I'm not starting full time on JV.

its all about who you know also Lot of politics involved. I would bet there are tons of players in the majors who should be in AA Same applies to the hall of fame there are some who dont even belong there but because of connections with the committee they got in
