Is he the ONLY guy in the Major Leagues who actually talks about how he hits a baseball? He seems like a great guy to me. He appears to care about helping kids learn how to hit, I've seen a video of him sharing his ideas on hitting with all his teammates, and he also must be aware that young players around the league probably watch his videos.
Comraderie among teammates is the primary bond in baseball, but I believe there is also a comraderie among hitters that Donaldson seems quite happy to unashamedly acknowledge.
Honestly, he's the only guy ive seen break down his swing on the high inside fastball and actually use the exact same swing in game ... where other players.. it's not 1:1.. i think Donaldson is a 'craftsman' of his swing like pitchers are with their pitches.. #20 earns his money !
WGB 8210 a rod
Not many actually understand their swing like this, they'll describe in slow motion something completely different than their real in game swing. That's the thing with Donaldson. That is how he swings a bat. That's actually a really rare thing in professional sports in general. Tom House made this hierarchy of athletes where they go from unconsciously incompetent to consciously incompetent to unconsciously competent and consciously competent. It's basically four different kinds of athletes or stages of athletes. He says that like 95-99% of professional athletes are unconsciously competent, and couldn't actually describe what makes themselves elite on a biomechanical level, even in their sports' jargon.
@@noahmcdaniel4920 House, I suspect, believed that unconscious competence was the highest stage and that most athletes spend little, if any, time at the second highest stage, conscious competence. Am I wrong?
Jd Martinez understands his swing
I need a daily josh Donaldson video please 😩😩😩
BEAST. LOVE watching him play and his knowledge on hitting. I wish Braves could keep him but he will probably seek a bigger contract than they will give him. He's having just as good of a year as Manny Machado right now and other top paid guys.
He’s having a way better season than both Machado and Harper
I think that there’s a good chance that they’ll re-sign him. Especially with Riley becoming a question mark.
As a Blue Jays Fan, let me tell you that I think you shouldn't underestimate the great professional relationship that JD has with Alex Anthopoulos. Wherever the two of them have been in the same organization, JD has flourished. Plus Atlanta have a good-to-great team that are WS Contenders.
If I had to guess, given his age they will offer him a 1 Year Plus a Team Option for another. Or 2 & 1.
The way he starts his swing is beautiful ❤️
He's solidified 3rd base and provided protection for Freeman. He's great to the fans and tosses baseball's into the stands almost every half inning. Great addition, absolutely deserves a 3 year contract with us.
That's awesome . Your got a sweet swing man❤
Close your eyes and swing for the fences! Nice swing
Love Josh Donaldson
even though he's now wearing the wrong letter A, hes still my favorite player in the game. #regulators
I think the Braves will & should keep him, he deserves at least a 3 yr contract though
stevebrownrocks, this didnt age well. hopefully the twins keep him cause he is what they need to continue breaking Home Run records and make it to a world series
@@baileysmith4744 lol now your comment didn't age
His defense is unbelievable
I love the way you think ❤
4:15 is such an amazing explanation. Haven’t put it in action yet, but that made something click in my head.
From what I understood maybe I’m off but it looks like he’s turning back shoulder and back hip instead of using your “hands to the path of the ball” if that makes sense
@@serglecoqgrandegaming2856
Even if you have Popeye arms/wrists with the hands to the ball approach you lose a lot of lower body power/torque. For guys who weren't 'hands to the ball' see Griffey, Ruth and many of the old timers.
@@ThekiBoran babe Ruth has a lot of torque he’s amazing and Griffey just has a smooth swing
@@ThekiBoran and yes I agree with this 🙏
This guy sounds like a golfer. Elite amateur move mechanics. Good stuff 💪
Im a mets fan and i love josh donaldson!
Great tips
Hitting is totally crazy and every one thinks of it differently. Because this is not what Mike Trout and Alex and Bonds saying about hitting. They’re saying coming down level to the ball.. so what should one believe or teach the kids with so many ways and style to get from point A to point B. I really believe that one should stay with whatever works and if is not broken don’t fix it..
If he was explaining all that to me...... after he was done l would just say...... what? Mind blown
Close talker? Keep it up Donaldson! Cobb county loves ya! Y’all need to call up Domingo Ayala!
6:07 Josh has been watching Producer Michael videos.
I wish he was still a Jay. What a competitor. Great at explaining mechanics.
If you want more of this kind of thing see Jaime Cevallos.
future hitting coach
This is so important.. Been working on this for the last year and finally is starting to click. Notice how his top hand holds the bat like a lumberjack would hold an axe... Get on plane and rotate baby. You're swinging lumber not throwing a punch.
Nice mullet
I hope he signs with the braves again
He just hit only the THIRD GRAND SLAM walkoff homerun in Yankee History. Yeah he knows what he is talking about!
FYI Babe Ruth and Jason Giambi are the other two!
Do Acuna next
Ñ. Have respect mañ
@@the3prankskateers704 stfu
Acuna no speaka da english
Mets need a third baseman. Make it happen Brodie
@Chris Simmons nah
tmg tmg that didn’t go as well as you tought
#RootedInOakland
Am i the only one who thinks this guy is high as a plane?
You can get this kind of instruction somewhere else. See Jaime Cevallos.
Love JD! But...should he back? If you think so go look at my latest vid! It may change your mind!
War eagle
He seems high lol
HAHAHA J.D. trollin heavy
Charles Houghton funny thing is...he isn’t.
What he says and what he does on game film is different...
Sounds like nonsense but I like his baseball ability
Homero Sanchez its all non sense
He is drunk as shit 😂
The fuck is he talking about
He's not exactly a genius is he?
I love jocks tho man, they're hilarious.
