That was my trigger to "start" too when I was playing. So I would say yes, to your observation. Guys throw hard now and if you are late, you've been ate.
You know what's weird? I was literally watching one of your videos as you were watching mine. I was watching the video where you were talking about the epiphany bridge script. thanks for watching this video. to be honest, i'm publishing because of you. If I had more time, would do more but I am still working on it haha.
@@JermaineCurtis55 That is awesome... I really feel like you are finding your groove... The video quality, the set, your comfort level, etc... Keep with it!
Such and underrated channel. Also I paired up my swing with Mookies and one thing I notice is how far infront he catches it. In my swing I was catching the ball about at my front knee, and mookie it catching out at his front foot so I will definitley use that approach you gave.
Great video man... I'm 45 still play baseball in the summer, never made it past college but just love of the game keeps me going... Thank you for some real hitting insight!! I've always been intrigued with Mookie's mechanics.. Hes a phenom!
Just found your channel man... awesome videos and you really do a great job explaining each drill and why to do them. Im a juco ball player and will be applying these drills. Awesome seeing a brother give back, especially in baseball. Stay blessed man
Hey ive been watching your videos for a while and they really been helping me lately. You do a really good job on breaking down everything and explaining these drills. You have helped me a lot thank you.
Hey Coach. My son and I loved this video. The way you give in depth analysis and also show drills to help improve your swing is magical! Very easy to understand and follow. My son is 11 and a little undersized so we are really working hard on proper loading and efficiently swinging. Thank you for sharing! Any other tips to help my son learn how to properly load?
Jermaine Merry Christmas. I have a thirteen year old son who loves baseball, we watch a lot of RUclips baseball fundamental videos and yours truly is one of the better ones we've seen. Thanks for the info, just subscribed, please keep them coming. Best of luck!
@@JermaineCurtis55 I will Jermaine. My son's name is Aidan. He is the hardest working kid in San Diego. He loves baseball. We truly love your videos, believe me, you have something there. We are fans. Thanks again for writing back and I WILL send you some video for sure. He wants to play in the MLB and has the tools and desire. Thanks brutha!
@@JermaineCurtis55 Clear explanation, great drills, you broke down every part of Mookie's swing and explained things like backspin. This is the first video I've watched with my son, and we watch a lot, where we both got excited and want to rework his swing from the info we got here and he gets hitting lessons and his coach is solid but this was so great. You really were able to key on the small details. And you're likeable. (: We are Padre fans so at first we thought you were Tony THE GOAT.
Hahaha well I appreciate it. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the video. I really am. Pretty great to hear. I never hear the feedback so it's good to hear it.
Thanks Vance! I appreciate you watching it. What things stood out for you? And what made you watch this video?? Just doing research. Also, please subscribe Fernando tatis jr breakdown coming this week.
I felt that you certainly highlighted many key points and that your drills were excellent. I especially liked your throwing drill and visualizing techniques. Certainly worth subscribing to for both coaches and players. Great job. Steve Terry
Yes please make video pull balls and also how to keep bat through hitting zone square. How far past the zone or plate is it time to pull up. What are good drills for that? I notice my son could get a lot more hits by his hands staying within the zone longer. Even if he’s a bit early if he maintains bat square through zone hands in longer it would translate to good hits I believe
Awesome! Glad you liked this video. Check out my other videos in the playlist...I think you would enjoy them. Also, subscribe to the channel for more content like this. I have a Cody Bellinger swing breakdown that's about to release and you dont want to miss it.
Thanks Eric! Please subscribe to the channel for more videos like this.

hi there, great content, just wondering if moving forward in the swing would make you lose some power? Hitting coach constantly tells me to stay back and not move forward. thanks!
Actually, I'm about to make a video for SmashIt right now. Check it out on their channel soon and also subscribe to this channel. More content coming soon. Also, if there is anything I can do to help you, please comment below. Thank you boss!
Appreciate it brother if you can I would love to know your feedback on the difference between what you do mechanically from a baseball vs softball swing
Hey Christopher, Thanks for watching this video and hopefully, others. How's it going? What do you mean "what software do I use to analyze the hitting videos?"
@@JermaineCurtis55 oh no doubt I will be looking at more and eventually later down the road share ideas. As far as making videos on RUclips..I’m going to need to find me a book of “how to” for dummies lol. What do you use for video editing when analyzing baseball swings?
For editing and analyzing videos, I actually just download the video from youtube and just time what I'm saying with the video. I also use Camtasia for an editing software. Its a screen recording software and very basic editing software. It will take a year to really learn it, in my opinion. What other questions you have for editing and analyizing videos?
Awesome Eric! send me a video of little man on my instagram @jermainecurtis1 I want to see his swing. and tell the little guy yes, I can do 1 about preparing for a pitch.
Hey coach when you talk about getting the back elbow into the slot position does that happen naturally as the hips start to rotate or does the player have to think about that move himself
youre videos are amazing im from Mexico and this help me a lot, I just have a question did you know some drill to create the knob to the catcher and scalp activation regards
Hey Ricardo, thank you for watching and I'm glad you are enjoying my videos. Yes, I do have a drill or 2 I do to get that result. I'm going to make a video about it because I cannot explain it in text.
Knob to the ball would work. That's easy to understand for young players. I usually just say to my kids that you should be able to see the barrel of the bat hit the ball. As well as your top hand...That means they will hit it out front. Plus, it's easy to visualize for young hitters. Another way of saying to pull it, I learned from the Upton Brothers, they say hands out front of body. That naturally teaches players to hit it out front. Thanks for watching Los Sr!
@@JermaineCurtis55 Appreciate the info! My son actually pulled a ball today during his double header. He’s doing a good job to hitting the ball out in front of the plate! Will definitely continue to check out your videos!! Thanks
One of my favorite things to do to create back spin is by using a fungo. It will tell you instantly if you have a good swing or a bad swing. And it will teach how to create it. There are tons of drills but this one is my favorite.
Hey coach, I was looking at Mookies swing and I keep noticing he leads with his hips towards the pitcher. When I swing my whole body goes forward, and I was wondering if you had any drills to prevent me from doing so
Really enjoyed the video I have been using most of these to work on my slopitch swing and its been helping. Yes it came up on my suggestions. Keep up the amazing work my friend
Hey Pros Cave Family! Today, we break down Mookie Betts swing. Let me know your thoughts on this breakdown and who should we do next!
In your opinion i know timing is an always changing component as a hitter but i notice some guys start at the pitchers leg lift. Thoughts?
That was my trigger to "start" too when I was playing. So I would say yes, to your observation. Guys throw hard now and if you are late, you've been ate.
Hey Coach Curtis, can I send you a video of my smaller 17 year old and get some tips or recommendations.
I love these videos!
Thank you Samuel!! I appreciate you
People that are on the smaller side need to watch a lot of mookie betts
Thank you for your response Carlos!
I think the same thing
Thus.... I'm commenting to learn how to pull the ball and hit doubles.

Thank you! Why do you enjoy this channel Elijah? Just getting feedback
@@JermaineCurtis55 I love the knowledge you have for the game and the way you explain things. You’ve brought me from a .200 hitter to a .450 hitter
Hahaha well thats awesome. Didn't know I helped you that much. Congrats to grest year!!!!
I would love that video of how to pull the ball
Thanks TeamoJr! Subscribe to the channel please so you can be notified when I release it.
Scalp activation? Isn‘t it scap as in scapula a.k.a. Shoulder blade.
Yessir, you're right. My bad. Thanks for watching Stefan and commenting. I appreciate you.
Thank you for this

Pros Cave Baseball Bellinger is a beast as well!
Yes, he is. He is struggling right now so I haven't put out his video but definitely will soon.
Love your video and breakdown but I believe you meant scap, not scalp! Short for scapular loading, referring to the back shoulder or shoulder blade.
Yep! Thats exactly what I meant. Thanks for watching and giving feedback. Will be sure to correct that next time. Thank you again David!
Good job.
Thanks Eric! Please subscribe to the channel for more videos like this.

Mookie is my favorite player right now. This breakdown was on point. What software do you use to analyze the hitting videos?
Hey Christopher,
Thanks for watching this video and hopefully, others.
How's it going? What do you mean "what software do I use to analyze the hitting videos?"
@@JermaineCurtis55 oh no doubt I will be looking at more and eventually later down the road share ideas. As far as making videos on RUclips..I’m going to need to find me a book of “how to” for dummies lol. What do you use for video editing when analyzing baseball swings?

My 11 year old son just watched and says... cant wait to try the drills out. Can you do a video about preparing for a pitch?
Awesome Eric! send me a video of little man on my instagram @jermainecurtis1 I want to see his swing. and tell the little guy yes, I can do 1 about preparing for a pitch.
They double play drill I mastered that one it’s where you roll over to the second baseman and ruin the mood of your whole team
Hahaha I mastered it, at one time, too. It's all good...just keep working and you will be good man.
Hey coach when you talk about getting the back elbow into the slot position does that happen naturally as the hips start to rotate or does the player have to think about that move himself
Hey Federico! Love your question going to answer it in video 📹 soon but to answer your question, it should happen naturally
Can you do a break down of a hitter that doesn’t ride his hip to the ball like mark McGuire or ken Griffey Jr
Yes sir! On it
Excelente!!
Gracias!
youre videos are amazing im from Mexico and this help me a lot, I just have a question did you know some drill to create the knob to the catcher and scalp activation
regards
Hey Ricardo, thank you for watching and I'm glad you are enjoying my videos.
Yes, I do have a drill or 2 I do to get that result. I'm going to make a video about it because I cannot explain it in text.
@@JermaineCurtis55 amazing thank u so much I will wait the video besides i would be amazing if you see my swings and give me some advice regards
Let me make the video and then message me after and I will check your swing out.
@@JermaineCurtis55 thank you jermaine
No problem!
I've taught my son to take the knob to the ball first in order to pull the ball. Is that correct? would love to see a video on how to do this.
Knob to the ball would work. That's easy to understand for young players. I usually just say to my kids that you should be able to see the barrel of the bat hit the ball. As well as your top hand...That means they will hit it out front. Plus, it's easy to visualize for young hitters.

Thank you! It will come. Just keep putting in the reps
Hey coach, can you post the secrets you have to create optimal backspin?
One of my favorite things to do to create back spin is by using a fungo. It will tell you instantly if you have a good swing or a bad swing. And it will teach how to create it. There are tons of drills but this one is my favorite.
Make sure to activate your scalp!
hahaha yeah, I messed that one up, right Casey? Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
Good vids. Quite clear voice but volume is much lower than most vids.
Thanks for the feedback. Will up the volume in the videos. I appreciate you Copomo! Please subscribe to the channel.
Mookie is the best hitter
Yeah, he is great!! love his talent. Thanks Percution Rondan for commenting.
Him and bellinger are almost the same. Feet close together setup and flat bat and they just yank their elbows down and create tons of power
Awesome! Thanks Knux...love your breakdown
Also go card man!!!
I appreciate you my man!
