Terrific breakdown. I have introduced you and this page to my son (17) and daughter (15) they've been playing since t-ball. They will and have so much to gain from your videos and insight about the game. Thank you!! New subscriber - Dan, Chicago
I started following this channel after my son was hit twice in a game with the baseball; kids pitch. Started watching the catching mechanics video which used soft balls to develop hand-eye coordination and confidence. Now, my Son watches these videos at 7 years-old and prefers them over video game videos. It is an amazing compilation of knowledge and has helped a young boy through the challenges of being afraid to being in love with the game.
This is, without a doubt, the best short video that covers nearly all aspects of a great swing. Thank you Matt, for everything you do! My kid is almost 6 and grasping these concepts already(in fun, non-work, non forced ways when he wants to). You also show a great example with your son, who is 7-8 right?(keeping it fun but infusing some basics of expert mechanics).
Love this video man. current grad student in my second year as an assistant coach of a b team and ive been struggling on how to properly explain hitting mechanics to these middle school kids. gonna explain this on Monday to them!
Antonelli Baseball Matt awesome video, question for you. When you are pulled back and fully separated in the swing what muscle do you feel a stretch or tension? I feel it in my front lat muscle but im not sure if that’s right
Not sure if you’ve done a video on this, but what is team chemistry like on an MLB team? Are there different cliques within the team or is everyone best friends like you would see on a travel ball or high school team?
Hey Matt, 2 questions. 1) How big is the difference between minor and major leagues when it comes to facilities? Like, could you compare mlb and minor league clubhouses? 2) Did you or anyone of your teammates ever get tired of or bored with baseball? Did anyone ever just get enough of it after so many years?
They are typically completely different. I will do a video for you. And I think baseball can become monotonous. You do have to really love the routine of baseball to continue to play every day.
I love ur channel and all you do, but I just having problem agreeing with the turns of the barrel for many reasons- one been the position of ur head when you get to that position -looking up instead of straight at the ball and 2 -Bonds and Alex and case who happens to be my favorite Players when it comes to talking about the this subject.. they strongly believe in going down to level with the swing and why, so I tried both ur way and Their way and for me after 1000s of swing going down to level has worked much much better.. I still love ur channel and think that what you show here is golden 90%
Todd..looks to be 3/4 inch. 1/2 is too skinny..1 inch to thick…3/4 will give a little and that’s what you want. A slight bend on impact..then it reforms.
Your enthusiasm is great and view of pros and how they swing is accurate. To Me your understanding of swing mechanics base on swing coil ideas and how to create it is very limited in generating force into the bat to hit the ball at a 50 percent rate. . My self for baseball bat swing mechanics I teach there are three areas body to be develop a affective swing Mechanics with the goal of having the highest chance of hitting the ball. The first area like you did is lower body but foot work at basic level for me they do not need to move the front foot at all. What you show moving the front foot looks hard for young new baseball players for there is so much movement of feet which is hard to control balance in the swing it self and that makes them weak. Lower body is the foundation of movement of the hips that creates a link with shoulders. The upper body is shoulders and head setup for shoulder rotation and third point is grip around the bait and how to use left arm and right arm in the swing to bring bat to ball. My view point is hips turn so feet and knee direct hip action. Here is point I take which does not make me right. The goal in the swing is to have a fast hip turn so setup of the feet to make the hips turn fast without movement of the feet. Shoulder rotate and the separation between hips and shoulder makes the coil for the goal is have the hip turning pull the shoulder rotation to bring the hands to the ball. Hands take the rotational force and increase that force into the bait for a snap of the ball. How do you build swing mechanics which is shape of the body for movement of the bat that produces the highest hitting ability. I have a view on bat swing mechanics title. Baseball bat swing mechanics upper body on RUclips look for my name. It would be honer to get review from someone that has as much knowledge as you do. I am physical trainer for movement base on core breathing and I see things different. What I show is basic for young people to hit the ball at the high rate like over 50 percent. I do have lower body swing mechanics on RUclips from stances. I take a open stance of feet in the swing mechanics and how to setup feet for knee to turn so shoulders rotate. I would like to get a different view point to see my weakness in view point. Have good day.
Great lesson

Thanks!! Yes he is 8. Good luck to your son!

Priceless
It's been a long time since I've played competitive baseball but here's a good resource to improve a little
@t
competitive or profesionnal
This might be one of the best hitting vids I’ve seen in a while
Really confusing to point to where the pitcher is but keep your feet perpendicular to the pitcher.
Love this video man. current grad student in my second year as an assistant coach of a b team and ive been struggling on how to properly explain hitting mechanics to these middle school kids. gonna explain this on Monday to them!
It might help if you tell them to watch antonelli baseball and Baseball doctor.
Solid info and easy explanation. Those kids are lucky to have you.
Thanks!!!
Antonelli Baseball Matt awesome video, question for you. When you are pulled back and fully separated in the swing what muscle do you feel a stretch or tension? I feel it in my front lat muscle but im not sure if that’s right
100 percent you have the best audio on RUclips.
todd felts you can’t hear it well?
Not sure if you’ve done a video on this, but what is team chemistry like on an MLB team? Are there different cliques within the team or is everyone best friends like you would see on a travel ball or high school team?
Yes I would say it's somewhat similar to that
I’m not friends with anyone on my high school and travel teams and find them very clicky. Sounds like I missed out
How long of pvs pipe should we use?
Add 12 inches to the length of your kids bat size
SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!! I WILL BE USING. THANK YOU ANTONELLI!
Matt should we feel like we are coiling in our normal swing? Should we feel like our hips our turning like this drill?
You should feel your hips coil yes
Thanks for the help!

Do you have a problem with the pvc Breaking, what size are you working with?
Nope never has broke before. It's about 4 feet long
Todd..looks to be 3/4 inch. 1/2 is too skinny..1 inch to thick…3/4 will give a little and that’s what you want. A slight bend on impact..then it reforms.
My coach sent me here
Same

Thanks for another good vid matt
Thanks!!!
Thanks for another excellent video! Preference on brand/make/model of punching bag?
Thank!
Great stuff coach. Wish I was there
Thanks!!!
Thank you for the great demonstration
I’ll be using this for my boy in the off season
Thanks!!
What about a high fastball
Don't swing at it? :)
2 things baseball has in common with golf: keep your head still and top hand dominant.
The saying "Education is wasted on the young" kept going through my head, lol! I HOPE these kids appreciate what great advice they are getting 👍🏼
I am. :)
What and where is the camp
We just finished it last week. It's in Danvers, MA
Do a Yordan Alvarez breakdown
Will do my best!!
Matt. When are you and Juan going to come out to Hawai`i and give lessons or do a camp?
9:40
Great stuff
Totally new way of looking at this ,thanks for your great simple video demonstration
Thanks!!
My son is not gay. Can he play youth sports safely? I mean, there are so may gay boys attracted to sports, I'm not sure he'll fit in.
I just " member " squishing the bug or whatever mann :) have a good weekend Mattador , paz
That's one thing you should forget
Came here to try learn how to hit a golf ball
Thank you I just realized my son doesn't put his butt out and chest over i knew something didn't look right but I couldn't figure it out thanks
He’s very good! I watched videos of Mike Trout and Arod, they have no idea how they actually swing!
Quinn? Please don't hold that dugout.
Mookie Bett's swing breakdown discredits nearly everything you just taught those kids.
Early
Pop up central with that 2nd drill
Cage's Coaster Reviews 2nd drill actually cures infield pop ups
