What’s up, UBT Family! Thanks for watching! 😀 If you enjoyed this video, please smash that LIKE button! 👍 And be sure to grab the FREE "Contact Point Checklist" I mentioned in the video here: ultimatebaseballtraining.com/checklist/
In the physics of the swing, a "connected" swing means that your entire body mass is behind your swing. If you are disconnected, only the mass of your arms and the bat are behind the swing, not the mass of your body. Force is mass times acceleration, so if you have less mass behind your swing, you are applying less force to the ball. To maximize power, you want to maximize the force you apply to the ball, so you want all of your mass connected to your swing.
This video finally helped give me an idea of what I was doing wrong in my swing. I am finally keeping my elbows separated through the swing, and I’ve never felt as easy as now. I was just hitting off a tee in my basement, and for the first time, didn’t feel anything on my hands, and felt like I had easy power. Just focusing on keeping my elbows apart stopped my bat drag entirely when I watched back my video. Seeing as I’m 21 and no longer play any form of competitive ball, I’m a little pissed to just figure this out now, but I’ve never been more excited to do tee work before. I’m hoping I get to play some season this year. Anyway, I’m rambling, but I just wanted to tell this to someone, because I feel like I can finally start from the ground up and really build my swing now. Thank you!!!!
Justin, you have made my favorite sport go from basketball to base baseball. I am hitting 10x more dingers that I was before watching u. U give amazing advice and have made me the player I am today. I used to hit balls just out the infield, now I hit at LEAST 25 to 40 further. In batting practice people now My team has to say in BP “big hitter back up!“ Thanks Justin. 👊🏽
Hey Coach Justin, thank you for your videos. I had my first freshman game today and your How to get noticed as a freshman video helped me a lot. I am already going to be playing with sophomores.
Duuuude my girl's been videoing my swings in games because i could not figure out wth was up with my swing. Everybody said i was just early and pulling off but the videos proved otherwise. Just watched ☝️ this video and was like "DUH". Thank you dude and keep up the awesomeness!
That was an incredible amount of information. Thank you for taking the time to make this next generation of ball players explosive hitters!!! Well done. I told you, hitting is simple. 😂
Can you please do a short on video on grip pressure? And how it changes through out the swing. I feel is hard to find a video on it and it plays an important role in your swing speed and how relax you are.
Just my personal preference, but I find that initially you want to have the bat tucked deep into your hand and thumb pocket, to where you can remove your fingers but still hold the bat there, then when you wrap your fingers around thats the pressure you want to maintain through out the swing.
Hey Justin, do you have any videos on what a hitter should be thinking about, before and during a pitch..? I know I used to get in my own head, especially after an 0-3, 0-4 day. Any advice or videos on this would be appreciated! Thx!
Can u make a video on elevating the ball becuz I am nine years old and I hit ground balls to shortstop a lot and they are usually the best fielder on the team and I get out pls it wil help me alot
I have a problem when I hit off the tee I have amazing fundementals but when I go in front toss and bp my swing isn’t as good I get away from my body and pull my shoulder off the ball why do I have an amazing swing off the tee and bad swings on live and bp
Entirely misinterpreted that one. Connection is having back knee, back hip, back shoulder and hands CONNECTED together ( locked in) moving together until you are turned toward contact direction. Then you release to extension through the ball. Hips lead does not mean going before shoulders creating separation, it means the hips are the driving force taking everything else with them.
I have been told I have a great swing (Power wise). But that swing can NEVER connect with the ball. If I can get a great swing with an amazing pitch I probably could drop it into center maybe a bit before that. May I remind you this is a 14u / middle school team.

Stay inside the ball and keep the bat close to your shoulder, what an amazing tip. It helped me not get so around it.

What would you do if you found some guy throw 100-110mph bullpen behind a Walmart?
Hitting 110 mph occasionally

focusing on elbows apart...That just made me change my whole hitting sensation,I will definitely try that out.

this might be the most important aspect of hitting
