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.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! 🙏🏼

[@mason_ncba1353]

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 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!

[@internet2055]

Anyone hits "doubles and triples and Hrs" in the comment section Vinny dude

[@HaQDang]

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!

[@cjmathis6117]

I love these videos! Going to practice these drills today!

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching! Let me know how it goes!

[@jacobmckinney6903]

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.

[@DjStalin100]

Nice video. My son sometimes casts around to the ball. We will practice keeping our arms closer to body. Thanks

[@HaQDang]

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!

[@gmoneygrant5684]

Thanks it helped me hit my first homerun

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Let's go!! Awesome to hear that!!

[@mrjcbuc]

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.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Hopefully this video helps you turn those into hard line drives!

[@masoncrockett1157]

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.

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 KZbin. 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.

Thank you SO MUCH for the support! I really appreciate your kind words and it's comments like this that keep me going!

[@mr.g6309]

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

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

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.

[@charliecommeret6369]

thanks im going to start doing these i keep hitting weak grounders on pitches right down the middle

[@cbanks1980]

THANKS COACH!! I'M ON IT!

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

You're welcome man!!

[@cydmarantis]

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.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

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?

[@cydmarantis]

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.

[@Wavy_Potts]

My son picked up a terrible batting habits this year... the last one is his problem. Good looking out

[@rippermcglothlin8289]

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

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Ideally you’d make contact with a middle pitch about even with your front foot!

[@raelsackey104]

@@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!

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

[@viktor5803]

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?

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

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!

[@keithconrad3237]

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

[@ckaledin]

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!

[@brandyglick6121]

Do you live in Tennessee

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

No, but Tennessee is a beautiful part of the country!

[@rickleesma]

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

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

You mean the high pitch? Or how to hit it high and far like a home run?!

[@jacksonyee9859]

Hit it high like a home run because ever time I hit a ball it rolls to the pitcher or the first baseman

[@user-mp2qj6rs9c]

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.
