Saludos y muchas bendiciones Antonelli. Siempre mi respeto y admiracion para usted dobre todo por tomarte tu tiempo y enseñarnos a todos aquellos que somos amantes del beisbol. Esos comentarios negativos y criticas absurdas ,solo lo hacen personas que quizas no conocen de beisbol, recuerden que la tecnologia y el mundo moderno nos da la ventaja de cada dia aprender de ustedes los entrenadores en linea, si vamos aprender a leer, obviamente debemos seguir unos pasos que son aprender las letras de un abecedario y asi lograremos leer, asi mismo funciona el beisbol, hay que aprender tecnicas para ser mejor bateador en un caso específico. Saludos Antonelli y que Dios te continue bendiciendo. Trino Calzadilla desde Venezuela, Ciudad Bolivar.

I was once told “swing for the fences”. That didn’t help me either.

[@tatert.v.9908]

But Matt I pick things up and put them down all the time in between my practice too...lol

[@dagruddicker22]

I understand but "see the ball hit ball" is a psychology tool that can allow the player to relax and allows all the knowledge and muscle memory that they have learned and practice to come out with less effort. The higher the ability of the player, the less we have to relax them to swing correctly. I used that saying once yesterday and it worked with my softball beginners. Once they understood the swing better that quote becomes more specific to the swing and less simple rhat just see it and hit it. I told them yesterday aim small, miss small which is a quote from the movie the Patriot. But these sayings are just a psychology tools that are over used, and the people who are saying it, do not understand what that quote is used for, which erks me. TIMING IS EVERYTHING INCLUDING WITH WORDS AND ACTIONS BESIDES THE BAT! 😢

You said it exactly right… this is exactly start I tell my 8U daughter… we train to hit correctly.. and on game day I her that the only thought she needs to have is #1 line up in the box.. #2… see the ball, hit the ball… the last thing you need is a better thinking too much!

[@crypticsymz790]

"Trust your training." - exactly.

[@tombonen2152]

great advise

[@bigaz72]

I've said it too! Then when I get the blank stare...Hmmm maybe that's not very helpful!

[@dagruddicker22]

The blank stare is what we are going for, then your next words will be obsorbed, so they should be used to relieve their confusion which helps them relax, which is the goal of "see the ball hit the ball." Got the stare yesterday, and it worked.

Bro Labron is deff not the best to ever play, maybe top 15 but Tottaly not top 5. He couldnt hang in 80s-90s ball
