A big thing to point out is the importance of doing these drills in a full length cage. Seeing the ball flight direction and spin will be instant feedback on how good the bat path is.

My Son is a big LSU fan and I took him to the South Carolina vs LSU series last year in Columbia, SC. He met Tommy Tanks, Dylan Crews, Trey Morgan and Paul Skenes. He plays 3rd base and is a big Tommy Tanks fan. After he found your previous video about Tommy's hitting routine, he adopted the same routine. He had a breakout year. He is in the 7th grade and plays for his school's Freshman team. He hit .545 with 1 strikeout. Last week he played in the first tournament with his 12U Summer team, and he hit 2 Home Runs. He has always been a solid hitter, but he really took off after the Tommy Tanks videos.

Atta kid 💪

[@tjam0499]

This guy is great. He isnt acting like his way is the only way to hit and gives good examples of how these drills come into olay in the game.

[@user-yr7ry3qx9p]

Love watching this stuff Summers. Nice work.

[@jockoadams3377]

This is gold. Thanks for sharing.

[@YouGoPro]

Great video! 👊😉

[@42frankiebaseball29]

Great video, I have to add these drills in my BP!

[@classicallymodern6261]

Awesome drills! Love you alls stuff. I have a daughter going to a P5 for softball and couldn't agree more with the bad barrel dump. Also want to send her to you guys for a week.

[@leojimenez3294]

Awesome video! Thank you!

[@42Pros]

High Tee drills were what led me to have a .380 BA and a 1.107OPS my last season at NC State… creating backspin to the back of the cage. KUTGW

[@charliescottie9635]

Phenomenal drill.

[@pablochilla]

Oh yeah, love these drills.

[@devisedbydev2764]

Very impressed. Been watching and digesting as much as possible as coaching 12U including summer All Stars. My son is a talented hitter but can hit with so much more power. I was a pretty good pitcher back in the day. Threw 88mph at 16. Agree 110%. Cranking it up and seriously, seriously challenging batters can have immense benefits during the game. I throw my son about 65-70 mph including sliders and pretty decent breaking balls. I can certainly strike out my son if I am throwing to do it. But when I just throw 70 mpg fastballs? Kids is on top of them. Kid has no fear of them. And kid is an amazing hitter in game times. Struck out twice during regular season and that was early. Proof in the pudding. Problem is, soon I wont be able to throw hard enough. Gonna have to teach my old bones to get better with the off speed stuff! Subscribed and gonna watch many more.

[@nomadnds2410]

Three great drills.

[@RecruitTalent]

Like watching these inside practices.

[@mattwalker138]

Just worked this high & tight T drill, seems to help almost instantly, college hitter said felt quicker to the ball on reg zone pitches …interesting feedback

[@FatGuyBP]

I’m curious about the high speed drill ? Seems like you could be very susceptible to off speed stuff. Seems like you need to add in some off speed stuff so you’re not so out in front in a game. I do understand the concept. Love the videos! Keep it up!

[@tinbus149]

All good hitters are susceptible to off speed stuff. Bad hitters are susceptible to the fastball. The fastball is thrown more than 60% of all pitches thrown. All hitters are guaranteed fastballs. Choose which you want to be.

[@BJandtheBearCustoms]

​@tinbus149 that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Good hitters don't just wait for a fastball or only hit big off fastballs. Goh

[@chrislewis5069]

I think everyone has a power v, it's just where in your swing your power v is, sometime earlier and sometime times later depending on where the pitch is and where in the swing a guy makes contact

What kinda pitching machine do you use? I want to buy the bata 2 for my son his a freshman in highschool on the varsity team but I want the machine to grow with him for the next 3 years

[@anthonydolce5401]

That looks like a Hack attack. They are expensive but there’s no better pitching machine out there that I know of. It’s a big investment

[@vannesshestingandair]

[@juicecounty714]

Dog ur right I love them high

[@clashersofglory7903]

How do I know if I’m dumping the barrel and will the high tee transform me into getting rid of that habit?

[@ThatGuyProdz]

If you do the high tee drill it will take no time at all to realize if your doing something wrong. It’ll be super uncomfortable and hard to do the drill if you dump your barrel

[@gradyjean8654]

Could you elaborate on the “dump the barrel” term you used?

[@tinbus149]

Guys who take their back elbow to the rib immediately dropping the barrel low enough that their only path through the zone is on an upward path.

[@Logo-qr3he]

Dont mob olayers do that?

[@daveb8795]

Lol, your highlight of Tanks clearly shows a rearward launching barrel that you call a barrel dump. Wish I could include the screenshot.

[@Norcaldaddy]

I noticed that too 😂

[@user-ds6ur2og5p]

Most of them do but they deny it. Basically they don’t want you doing what’s giving them success. They rather you continue the old way that wasn’t working!

[@mattwalker138]

You do have to understand, the barrel will always work rearward first with a good swing mechanic. He’s just focusing on a tight turn vs casting where the barrel has huge separation from the shoulder. Remember guys, this is a quick video and lots of hitting stuff is semantics. Try to see the spirit of the drill vs focusing on the precise way he describes it. These drills make good sense. We call the power V “half or 3/4 swings” to show direction and extension. Always do High T, but will incorporate the tight 1 ball in - high T and max velocity machine as well. It’s just like adding a couple new excercises to your workout to train a new muscle group.

[@daveb8795]

@@mattwalker138 - You summed it up right here "the barrel will always work rearward first." He made it sound like that was a bad thing, regardless of semantics or the length of the video. Calling a reward launch a barrel dump is just wrong...sorry.

[@jefffinney4233]

Tanks gets the barrel working back too even though u day he doesn't. The homer u show in this clip even shows the barrel working back initially

[@bennattj]

FWIW: teaching a mechanism that "stops" at contact is a really bad idea. Maybe good for hitters that already know what they're doing (and understand follow-through) but really bad for a hitter that literally does this in a game (they hear/feel the contact, and then let the ball "bounce" off the bat rather than pushing it with power).

[@tpross86]

😂 the onky way he getd to that pitchbid dump the barrel rearward as his 1st initial move...lmfao good advice but its all the same just difficult fir some to see through the different verbage and real vs feel for each individual

[@Mrgood189]

He does!

[@russfalkowski2249]

He truly does ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@digitalmdrealmd9124]

Ugh! The V comes at contact with hands in fairly tight to the body, elbows at 30-45 degree angles, you're showing hitters with extended arms after contact, thats the follow through. Anytime anyone mentions extension to a young hitter they think they hit with their arms extended; thats death to a hitter. Also, why anyone would teach a drill that stops the bat is beyond me. You want acceleration through the duration of the swing. That "drill" imparts deceleration. That's one of the culprits (among others) that give so many softball girls a funky two part swing with deceleration at contact. High tee? Sure, gotta be able to hit all quadrants of the zone. Hi velo? Absolutely, as long as it doesn't cause a change in mechanics to just but the bat on the ball rather than swing the bat.

[@user-yr7ry3qx9p]

Seems to work for his players because most of them rake.

[@rblaclewell]

Sounds like bad hitter excuses to me!!

[@jaredm730]

"Extension"- like nails on a chalkboard to anyone who coaches youth players! Just, no. Well said, by the way.

[@digitalmdrealmd9124]

@@rblaclewell well i did hit .300+ over several season in AAA (Mexican league), so theres that

[@harrisoncrawford6322]

I actually love the power V or finishing as hard as you can as soon as you make contact to feel our decelerator muscles working. While this certainly isn’t the first drill I teach and is something I get to after we understand the swing better, it’s a great drill for immediate feedback in my opinion.

[@Mrgood189]

"Dump the barrel" is garbage.

[@timcasey6815]

Just a note: Substitute the word “inability” for your use of “unability”. Then you won’t sound so uneducated. Same goes for the beard. Trim it nice and short. Plus do you have to use foul language in your videos? It diminishes you. Don’t look and talk like a hayseed. Your info is great. Just class up your act.

[@Ifugiveubegin2live]

Aaron judge needs to.watch this

[@aaronking5076]

Looks like you have not seen what teacherman is showing. You literally laid the bat back along your arm, which is what he tells you not to do, then claimed that's what he teaches. Losing credibility.

[@Smi77y1]

Yeah, and teacherman doesn’t teach dumping the barrel either. He explains very clearly how to hit a high pitch. And it’s basically no different than what this guy showed. That said, I do like these drills!
