Hey man do you think I’m doing good I just started hitting the gym and after I go practice for baseball but not on a team just wit my friend and summer I’m going to DR and get on a league so I can become better and get on the school team but I don’t know what to do winter time should I just hit the gym?

[@t_reaper_3445]

Also I recently turn 16 is that late I used to play my younger years tho like 5 to 9 then I stop bc I got into a new country

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Hey T, You Definitely want to continue hitting the gym this winter. This is where you get the gains for the season. However, you still want to workout in season so you don't get hurt. In the off-season, you lift to get stronger. In the season, you lift to maintain so you don't get hurt. With the weather like it is in the D.R., Definitely continue to lift.

[@JermaineCurtis55]

No, it's not too late. Just gotta work harder. Make baseball, and practicing, your lifestyle and not your hobby.

[@t_reaper_3445]

@@JermaineCurtis55 alright thanks for the advice I will make it a lifestyle I still need to watch all your videos to get all the info I need👍🏽

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Get on it! What are you waiting for? Hahaha just joking. Glad you are going to watch them. I appreciate you T.

[@thatboydre8649]

I was visualizing then I stopped because i didn’t see any progress but I’m going to get back to it. Any new habit that you do you should give it 90 days

[@JermaineCurtis55]

You shouldn't put a time limit on it.. If you give up on a simple mental exercise, how do you think you will be able to be successful in baseball. All of this is a lifestyle. That is if you want to be successful.

Awesome video! Thanks for giving back to the baseball community. #muchrespect

Great video and just a small sample of all the amazing baseball content here. My son just started using positive visualization and mantra. Went 3 for 3 in his opening game, he smiled and said the ball did look like it was in slow motion 😀

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Amazing, congrats to you and your son! ...and thank you for watching. I appreciate you.

[@ehp7]

Great information Jermaine! I had my daughter practice the UCLA method in the cage to catch up to some fast softball pitchers she was struggling. She had a couple hits and tied the game w a bases loaded double! She told me after the game the technique worked!

[@thatboydre8649]

Very true no ones scared of a guy who hits singles. Never heard anyone being scared of Derek jeter a all time great at the plate

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Agreed Dre! I appreciate you watching and commenting

[@patricknoonan3610]

Look up Derek jeters ba base loaded.

[@randypoll3484]

I like the focus on the mental side. I pretty much like to pull the ball from the left side, although I am good opposite field hitter. I really enjoy working on mechanics.

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Thank you Randy! Amazing, stay at it

[@an67ony]

4:00 wym by that?

[@johnwilson6319]

I have commented before but anyway I went out today with my fast pitch pitching machine I have been off for a while due to cold weather here in Reno ok at first just taking half swings but at the end I quit.on 2 swings one was down.and in I cranked that for a home run the other was a low rise ball that came in on me I beat it to the punch and hammered out a double ok the point I want to make i.was top hand all the way ok I have watched your stuff and the Barry Bonds drills now when Jenny Finch was striking out all those guys he kept saying top hand I found that to be true softball comes in up anyway and my machine probably harder somewhat more than Jenny Finch so he I believe for me anyway he was exactly correct

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Hey John, thanks for commenting and giving me an update. I appreciate you. Glad you out here hammering pitches. Makes me feel good that you use the stuff I teach. Thank you 👊💪

[@theobryson3265]

I’m trying to gain weight to hit for more power I workout regularly but am just not that big so do you have any tips.

[@JermaineCurtis55]

How many times are you eating per day? And what are you eating??

[@johnandreas3727]

Love the videos Jermaine! I jst went on a huge binge watching spree of your videos and I feel like I gained $1,000s of information!

[@JermaineCurtis55]

This is probably the BEST comment i've ever read hahaha seriously. Thank you so much. I put a lot of effort in these videos,, glad it's starting to get some love haha

[@danedralin8064]

I would have to disagree. Ichiro and Pete Rose were never home run hitters. Pete Rose hit 160 over 24 years, which equates to 6 per year. Ichiro had 117 over 19 years, which equates to 6 per year.

[@JermaineCurtis55]

True. But, can you remind me of when I brought up Ichiro and Pete Rose? Thanks for watching too, by the way.

[@danedralin8064]

@@JermaineCurtis55 you didnt bring them up sir. But the whole video was about how if you dont hit homeruns, no one will notice you. Rickey Henderson 297 home runs over 25 years. Equals to 11.88 a year. Being someone who can disrupt the pitcher makes a difference also. Homerun hitters do get the bigger contracts, because they bring the fans in.

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Very true. But, I doubt you will see players like them (Ichiro, Pete Rose, Rickey Henderson) for awhile. The analytics have changed the game. With guys throwing harder, its harder to hit 3 singles to score 1 run. I can't remember the stats but they told us it's very hard to hit 3 sibkges in a row. This is why they have gone towards power hitting because home runs can change a ball game. Plus, 1 swing can get you a run.

[@johnwilson6319]

That's a good point on how to build a team high avg low power guys are what they call table setters and that's a good thing a Rickey Henderson who's a base stealing threat BUT power guys clear the bases baby

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Yeah for sure 👍

[@randstokes5048]

Do you have tips on how to stop hitting ground balls I have a bad habit of hitting hard grounders every time and when I try to hit a line Drive I usually pop it up to the infield

[@JermaineCurtis55]

Have you watched my video on how to stop hitting ground balls?

[@qtip8907]

It's interesting Barry Larkin told you this because he wasn't a home run hitter...I think encouraging kids to hit homeruns has slowed the game down ..Less action on the bases and the stolen base is practically gone away...Guys like Michael Brantley and Tim Anderson prove singles and doubles are still effective

[@JermaineCurtis55]

I agree with you. It has slowed the game down a bit. However, everything in life evolves. Men used to wear bell bottoms haha. Even, Barry Larkin evolved. He was a singles hitter when he 1st came up and then changed his game. That change turned him into a hall of fame player. Anyways, thanks for comment Q tips.

[@samueljones9171]

Thank you sir

[@aura809]

When I pull the ball I definitely get more power but I also swing at worse pitches (I get way early on breaking balls). Should I be trying to pull the ball or no?
