One of hitting drills I used as a kid and showed my grandson is a broom or mop handle and Pinto beans .. Whether soft touse or by your self it really gets your attition to make contact . Then just use the lead hand .. It helped with a walkoff at state championships few years ago in Texas . Enjoy your videos .
We used broom handles and bottle caps. Pinto beans would be really hard to hit too. I've used the SKLZ bat and miniature whiffle balls with my kids, and I've seen it pay off almost immediately.
This was awesome! In the heavy ball drill, exactly what ball should I use? Is there an example of a specific one I should purchase. My son is 11 playing 12U, and this drill is going to do wonders.
4:20 ....this drill can also cure a slice in golf. It encourages "lag" in a golf swing. It also helps the player keep the clubhead behind the hands in the downswing.
Great video. Big fan me and my son.we just met you at the usssa all American tryouts Viera Florida you signed a ball for him. He end making the direct select 9u pitched 56 mph on the radar gun😁 and scored 7/8 on infield. Great videos thanks coach 💪🏼⚾️
YouGoProBaseball they have really help my swing this last season I usually swing early and these have helps me with that considering how slow my dad throws them lol and they have helped me with hitting low pitches as well.
Bunting is OK BUT U HOLD YOUR PLAYERS BACK. let them swing the bat. No 1 ever got a D 1 SCHOLARSHIP for bunting. I've never ever heard a College coach say I got this great bunter coming in.
@@troygaston542 the question was will you do a bunt drill and bunting is apart of baseball , softball kids these days needs to learn it , I was just asking but since bunting is not important to you do you.
Hey coach I have a lot of kids as they are swinging , putting there weight out front . Not staying back and loading up .. this video definitely helped but what do you have for helping keep the kids weight back so they aren’t leaning forward and losing power .
I love your vids anytime i am in a struggle you always got a video to help and you love commenting back to help others. If you see this why did you retire from MLB?
I like and have used the " Happy Gilmore swing" at my little league practices! Saw the hitting drill on RUclips a while back and the kids love it! It helps them learn to stride when they swing!
I have a 6 year old wanting to play tee ball. He can already hit a thrown ball. I have no idea what I am doing. Should he start on a tee? Or should I throw them soft? Real baseballs? Soft tee balls? Or whiffle balls? I want to set him up to do well when we get him signed up for a league. Thanks in advance!
What's a good drill to help 9-11 yr olds see the ball - in our area they are coming up from coach pitch and live pitching it destroying the bulk of the league
Hey Coach Madden, Where did you get that Diamond Baseball Hat from? I love it and have been trying to find one somewhere but havent been able to! I'm a big fan and I love your videos!
Not sure what he means. Shoulders level at contact. If your waist is tilted forward at the beginning of swing, our shoulders will not be level at contact. Baseball has a lot of batting phrases that are vague and do not make sense.
I would actually recommend the opposite of wiffle ball training. For kids that can't hit the ball yet, it is better for them to use big plastic bats and big balls to train their eyes to seeing the ball come across the plate and making contact. Only after they are very good at that should they slowly learn to hit smaller and smaller targets. Otherwise it's a waste and the learning curve is too steep.
Nope. Not even close to the things youth players struggle with. Most issues I've seen deal with grip and weight transfer. No need for the gimmicky drills or devices if you're stressing fundamental points in tee work and soft toss.

Thanks man! As a youth coach that's really just learning the game I really appreciate your videos...very helpful.
Fantastic stuff. Just started youth coaching for my two daughter's teams and your videos have been a tremendous help.

Nia Turner The red ones I was using is from Rukket but there are many companies that make them.
Which would you Prefer? The cageprotee, launch angle tee or tanner tee?
i use tanner and launch angle good combo for drills

Thank you for this video.
Great drills. Thank you.
Awesome video!
I love your passion!
Good stuff. Thanks
Thank you!
Love the break down of these drills , will you do a bunting drill .
I second that request. Bunting is such a powerful tool, but many of the pro hitters don't even do it correctly. It seems pretty underutilized.
What’s bunting that don’t exist 😂
Bunting is OK BUT U HOLD YOUR PLAYERS BACK. let them swing the bat. No 1 ever got a D 1 SCHOLARSHIP for bunting. I've never ever heard a College coach say I got this great bunter coming in.

Spring baseball. :) can't wait to get to it
I will love one of those sets

Ffffffffff

I love the video very creative and helpful tips
I love your vids anytime i am in a struggle you always got a video to help and you love commenting back to help others. If you see this why did you retire from MLB?
Question with that swing rail if the strap rips of bad swing and if the batter makes a clean swing the straps stays the same correct ?
I like and have used the " Happy Gilmore swing" at my little league practices! Saw the hitting drill on RUclips a while back and the kids love it! It helps them learn to stride when they swing!
Great stuff Coach, thanks for the tools so we can better teach our kids!
Alfonso Peña Thank you Alfonso and you’re welcome!

Looking good champ
Off the Tee Ages 6 & 7 would you recommend soft toss underhand or regular pitch?
Thanks
Thanks for this! It's ball season again for the boys, wooooo!
John my son is and about to start tee ball what's some good drills? He's pretty good already just needs a little more work
Excellent drills. 👍👍
Thx for the info
the drill with the tennis ball, have you build it or can we buy it somewhere? Thanks.

What is the height that the tee should be?
You looked 10 years younger lol. Good job man.

I have a 6 yr old player. What is your opinion on camwood bats? Gimmick or useful?
How many reps for each exercise for a beginner would you recommend? My son is 11 years old and hasn’t played since 8
Great drills coach!
619 San Diego Thanks bro!
wow, this amazing
Lol. I was just thinking you were breathing hard. Glad you got back in shape. Nice job. 👍🏻 from me
Good stuff
what is the best exercise after gips or bondage, my ankle or arm? does the hard exercise cause bigger injuire than before?
Hi!! I am 6 years old. I want the heavy ball but I am not sure the weight I need?? My bat is 12oz heavy.
John, tell us about your workout regimen. You look like a new man compared to earlier videos you've published.
Hi
getting more involved with my nephews. great vid!! sub'D
man im trying to watch this stance drill and all i can focus on is the gigantic right quad muscle LMFAO
Where is the link to purchase this?

Peter Raber Check our this video I talk about that here: ruclips.net/video/ZKYBIx0Nf2s/видео.html
that PVC drill made my brain explode for how simple/effective it is
if you play golf you should always be doing this drill as a warmup
The contraption with the tennis ball how can I get that
Mark Winters ugoprobaseball.com/product/linedrivepro-swing-trainer/
Where can I purchase the equipment
Is this video shot in Parkland?
Hey Coach Madden,
Where did you get that Diamond Baseball Hat from? I love it and have been trying to find one somewhere but havent been able to! I'm a big fan and I love your videos!
In hell jk
Good stuff kid. Keep the weight off, your kid and family will appreciate it. Refreshing not to see the ridiculous BS that others put out.
what a sales pitch, no pun intended
2 years ago , I know. but what is your routine and eating routine. From video to video your a beast 👏
Great drills. Now I just need about $700 to get all of that equipment.
LOL classic👏😀😀😀😀
Its ok
That’s not the John madden I know
I wish coaches would do hitting drills off a lower tee. Good pitchers are not going to pitch them waist high.
Ive played on that feild sooooo many times and got hit in the face 1 like 1 time not getting hit in the face
My kids don't use a weighted ball. We do it with a partially deflated basketball
Can the powernet limited flight mini crushers be used in the mini waffle ball machine?
No
How can I get some stuff for my team?

Great drills, aside from the heavy balls. The heavy balls create a lot of bad habits in young kids.
