These drills are pretty much all drills that I have seen before, but the way these guys explain and narrate them is phenomenal. You know its gold when they can talk about something you already know and you end up understanding it better.
I absolutely love the Griffey drill! I played in the Mariners Organization from 94-99 and had numerous conversations with Jr. about hitting and he’d say he just “ walks away” from his hand and his hands naturally goes into launch position. It was fun seeing that sweet swing in spring training!
@@pamelaladner9459 how did the drill go, it looks good for the hips rotation but it doesn't create load separation. Did it help your daughter improve her swing.
@@ramotav honestly dont remember. My daughter was a senior then. I remember her going through a slump but I don't remember what drills I used to help her. She wound up batting over 500 because she got an award for it, but whether I incorporated this drill or not, I can't remember.
I can’t believe I received that knowledge in baseball for free (minus cellular data and time spent watching). I appreciate this and my sons will be doing the first and third guy’s drills. Good stuff
Thank you Coach, this is valuable information for all age hitters. The three coaches also gave very specific hitting drills. Will definitely implement these drills with my youth and high school team. Thank you once again.
I am going into middle school baseball and this helps me get a little better [edit 6 months later I was on the bench for most of the year and now I'm back on this video]
@@LandonChurch15 everybody i am sorry for saying that that is cap. But I do think saying that I am an idiot is very mean. Come to channel and I will show you my videos. and songs.
The first guys just swung on a tee and talked. Telling kids what to do only works so so in my experience. The third guy gave actual drills so the kids could see tangible results. Love that!!
Balance is key to everything... I used to give golf lessons and the first tip offered in this video is exactly how I would present golf swing theory with new clients. "How would you catch a medicine ball?"... get there and swing.
Hey guys, I want to give a huge congrats to the first guy talking about balance. What he said about being in an athletic position, has really really helped me. I am a 13 year old starting baseball, and I am getting better, also when I swing should I bring my elbows in or keep them straight?
What do you recommend to do with smaller stature players to produce more “pop” in their swing? Thanks for all the videos. Really appreciate everything your page is doing for coaches & players by providing valuable information that we can implement into our daily routines.
The best instructor there is the MRI of Hitting lol: the first one from Upfronting. He can pick your swing apart and put back together in a way that you would never imagine
Fun to come across this video. We’re from Nolensville and wish we could have met you when you were here. I know Joey well and glad he brought Hit Lab here. Thanks again for everything, your videos have been very helpful over the years.
We do a drill our coach taught us, where he ties a rope at waist height, and we have to swing the bat, but the bat has to remain in contact with the rope throughout the swing. It really helps to hit the ball with better elevation.
Great stuff. What are your thoughts on not striding? Just a wide stance and use the heel strike to fire? I’m trying to help my 9 year old so I want to simplify and help him with his timing issues
Guys who don’t get it will actually think the player is late on the ball with that correct swing path! Really their gonna do so much better against off speed and pitches away .
My son is really struggling with what coach Headley was saying at the end. He goes out and then cuts across the ball. Almost as if you were trying to create a curve in ping pong. Anyone have any other drills we could do to work on this? Thanks.
One of the really good things to notice here is the big toe of that back foot is almost directly down into the ground, like a spike. This is usually a very good sign for your swing mechanics.
Approx. Yes. That's why first tips on balance and athletic position are so important. Wind up or stretch..batter has to work with lead leg depth, heel up & down, time him. Mirror him
Really awesome stuff!! I do have to say the hardest thing to do in sport depends a lot on the athlete. Tony Gwyn probably found hitting a baseball a whole lot easier than he would trying to survive an NFL pass rush. It's just a pet peeve of mine. Every sport has its extreme difficulties. That said, thanks again for the tips!!!
Hi Coach Madden my name is Brennan Willis and I have problem I have a nervous habit of sliding m y back foot right before the pitch is thrown ants tips on how to prevent that from happening thanks for all your awesome videos.
Mason Ochinero sorry to burst your bubble but you where pretty confident that the pipe was 5’ and your %100 incorrect lol...that would mean that the guy is like 2’ tall lol 🙄...the correct answer is that the pipe is around 8’

Maddie F So true! 🙌
So True!

Ahh man that’s the coolest! He was so fun to watch
I love the mariners, you were on an amazing team 🫡
I love the marneirs I follow them like crazy
Ive played for fun but now ive had my first training. But this griffy drill is gonna help me alot.
But i think that pvc drill is great
That last drill with the ball on the shoulder.. that’s gold
Going to have to use that one with my daughter and her teammates.
My man needs to not come from his Lumberjack job lol
Looks like a lot of pop outs to me.

Man that disconnect drill is crazy smart. I love all these drills but that one I’ve never seen before. Thanks for sharing guys.
I can’t believe I received that knowledge in baseball for free (minus cellular data and time spent watching). I appreciate this and my sons will be doing the first and third guy’s drills. Good stuff
May I question why not the second guys drills?
@@chancey540 maybe his son doesn’t need work on that
The 3rd guy drill has made me realize what I’ve been doing wrong at the batting cages. Can’t believe this video was free!
I wish the orange shirt guy was my coach, he seems like he could help me hit more homers.
He’s the man!
Thank you Coach, this is valuable information for all age hitters. The three coaches also gave very specific hitting drills. Will definitely implement these drills with my youth and high school team. Thank you once again.
this helps so much. i’m going into high school next year and i’m dedicated towards baseball. thank you this is amazing.
Good luck bro I’m going nex year too and I’m dedicated towards baseball
Good luck bro i made the freshmen team just stay out your own head thats what killed alot of good players
i know im late but , im in my freshman year & i made the team too. hope you made it & i never played baseball ever & now im in love
Same and good luck
Good luck kid!
Casey Smith is the best in the game right now. A+ stuff
John Burke he is the man!
I am going into middle school baseball and this helps me get a little better [edit 6 months later I was on the bench for most of the year and now I'm back on this video]
cap
@@PhD23 what?
that is cap
@@PhD23 what are you talking about idiot

dude the second guy.. his drip is on point. the shoes, the hat and the swing. swagger 1000!!
Great job Coaches!!! The PVC drill and the ball drill are great!!!

lol
Perfect tips from skilled guys. Thank you.
Swing path is so important !!! If the kid can master that from a young age he will crush !
Great drills. love the ones using the PVC pipe. Lots of reference to "the boys", just remember girls play ball too ;)
That first swing......... damn.

Get in the gym if they are of age. Best thing to do for power. Everything else is secondary.
@@YouGoPro Hey thank you, what do you feel is of age?
@@joeray8868 I say 14, but that's just my opinion. A lot of it depends on how much testosterone they have, which varies from person to person.
This has helped me so much in baseball and I am now one of the best hitters on the team! THANK YOU!!

The PVC drill and ball drill fantastic. Thanks
Y’all are the best people ever
Well said, great direction from the 1st guy, ive been using this with my 12-13 club and every player looks like a pro now. Thankyou
All great drills! Many thanks to everyone.
Can't wait to learn these drills so I can teach my little leaguers. Great video!
Excellent they went thru different swings, yeah! Kids there teaching you how to break thier records, listen!
Really Enjoy PVC path drill. Great Knowledge!
Very good stuff guys, working with kids daily and these are def some of the most common issues we see.
Love these drills!
Great techniques! Thank you guys!
Without youtube I would be nothing thanks for the drill it really helped
Appreciate it guys! My son (11yrs) wants to play so good starting point for hitting. Thx
Weired I hit lefties better from the left. Acevedo had a wicked slider, smiling it would move wicked. Hard to hit him. Big up Al!
This video is gold. Thank you
JeyRod you’re welcome
FUEGO!!!! Woo! Love it!!!!
Chanterprise It’s Mr. Ron Howard himself @Chanterprise

Top 2 for me- isolating parts of the swing and the Soto drill

yea the pipe and the ball on the shoulder ... good stuff!
Excellent content. 👏👏👏
Cool. Thanks for the great drills. How long should the PVC pipe be, relative to a batters height?
Great stuff, Thank you for sharing!
⚡⚡⚡ Thanks for the time ⌚
A lot of good stuff here!
J S Thanks 👊😉
Great breakdown on hitting! Thank you!
thank you for all the help, love this
I like the PVC guy in the end
Awesome instruction....
Where were these guys when I was in little league?
Thank you soooo much! This helps so much and has done me wonders!
Very useful
Guys who don’t get it will actually think the player is late on the ball with that correct swing path! Really their gonna do so much better against off speed and pitches away .
You really help me! 🙏

619 San Diego Thank you 🙏🏻
What do you guys film with? The video quality is A+!
Coach Casey my guy!!
Awesome video
How many reps at each drill? All before seeing live BP correct?
Super helpful
Hey Coach Madden, what is that angled unit on the tee that Coach Smith is using? Thanks for all the great content, btw!
Shamus Beauchamp Launch Angle Tee
Thanks Coach!
One of the really good things to notice here is the big toe of that back foot is almost directly down into the ground, like a spike. This is usually a very good sign for your swing mechanics.
So good...
When do you teach to stride? I was told, as soon as the pitcher moves, the batter moves. Can you elaborate?
Approx. Yes. That's why first tips on balance and athletic position are so important. Wind up or stretch..batter has to work with lead leg depth, heel up & down, time him. Mirror him
The last drill will help me so much I’m in 8th grade playing varsity and that is the missing part in my swing
Coach, Great, Great Video, lots of insight from the gentlemen!
Mike Saiz 🙏🏻 I agree
This was a very good video
Casey is alpha
nice vid helped my son he is on Maryland
Really awesome stuff!! I do have to say the hardest thing to do in sport depends a lot on the athlete. Tony Gwyn probably found hitting a baseball a whole lot easier than he would trying to survive an NFL pass rush.

This maid my kid a star

Hi Coach Madden my name is Brennan Willis and I have problem I have a nervous habit of sliding m y back foot right before the pitch is thrown ants tips on how to prevent that from happening thanks for all your awesome videos.
Love it! What is the length of the pvc pipe?
5 ft
Mason Ochinero sorry to burst your bubble but you where pretty confident that the pipe was 5’ and your %100 incorrect lol...that would mean that the guy is like 2’ tall lol 🙄...the correct answer is that the pipe is around 8’
Pipe is about 8’
Don’t know if I quite understand the pvc drill I’m sure watching it another time will help me.
Hell yeah thank you
Used too work with casey at jcs in kenessaw, i am now going over seas for ball
Good luck my brotha
Thanks 🙏🏽
i wish i had this advice in high school!
Thank you 💕
awesome
Hey, that's my coach
For the 50/50 PVC drill, how long is the PVC that needs to be used? 5ft? 6ft?
good
good video
Connected turn insight is really. That would mean you are showing hips and shoulder movement to hit the ball?
Where can I get a ball like the one used on the connection ball drill?
