This is the best thing ever. I come back to this for soothing. DeRosa and Thome are stoked at what is happening. Not TV stoked, but they are legitimately stoked at seeing this.
Jonah Loeb its not hard to tell someone to go to right field and point the knob to the catcher...i would have been impressed if he told her to hit the inside of the baseball or extend the top hand more threw her swing.
Jim, I grew up in Cleveland watching you. I want to thank you for the homeruns you hit and how you carried yourself throughout the years. I couldn’t have asked for a better childhood. As a kid, it was exciting and that’s the way it should have been. Thanks Jim.
Thome was not only awesome on the field, he was awesome off the field too. he was a true "selfless star." he never missed an opportunity to talk to a kid whom he knew loved him, because he knew that kid would remember that moment for the rest of his life. he treated Indians fans like family and we loved him for it. him and Omar Vizquel were doing pregame warmups before a game and he turned to the crowd when they were done and I miraculously got his attention and he threw it to me. I was about 12 so, needless to say, my dad towered over me. when Thome threw the ball to me my dad naturally caught it not even thinking about. Thome stopped *dead in his tracks* and stared my dad down until he saw him hand me the ball, then went on his way lol then he proceeded to hit 2 HR's and a double that game. somehow once again I miraculously got his attention after the game and he came and signed my ball for me. he actually friggin' remembered throwing the same ball to me before the game, and said he didn't think "the guy next to me"(my dad) was going to give me the ball so he was about to say something to him haha still my prized possession of my entire life, that ball will never leave my family.
Ohio Against The World Great story. I grew up in LA so I'm a rabid Dodgers fan. But those mid 90s Indians teams were a team I loved to watch. Manny and Thome were my two favorite hitters back then.
Ssshhhh....ok, brother, deep breath. Watch the video again, focus on the woman in the tight pants. Stop the video where you find the best image, and clear your mind of that trip to WalMart. Relax, meditate on the image on your computer screen, not on what you saw at the store. Relaaaax...reeeelaaax....there you go..keep a clear mind and only pure thoughts. Yes...yes...now chant, and repeat, the mantra..."LYYYYYYYYY....CRUUUUUUUH...."
I was never told that in six years of Little League. It might have helped me more, and I had the opposite problem that Lauren has. Also, I think I misunderstood what "bail out" meant before this video - I thought it only applied to the feet.
As obvious as it sounds now, I wish I had known about having the knob of the bat towards the catcher earlier. Either my coaches never told me about that, or I wasn't paying attention.
@@braedenlane 1. Having the knob of the bat towards the catcher . 2. Who Jim Thome was and what team he played for. 3. How not to become a movement or hashtag (cause a common minded man would've stepped behind her and pretended to show her the the walk through stroke). He showed me the correct way to instruct from the front only.
yeah but she was poor student and he try show her to stance with front foot in more then back, and she did not listen and keep hitting it to wrong side of feild. That biggest part.
Good catch by DeRo telling Lauren to stay square and not shift totally towards the catcher to hit to right center. And good that Lauren made him define “don’t bail out”.
Thome is a class act, phenomenal player & great man. The MLB Central cast (DeRo, LS, Roflo) are the best in the business, the most entertaining, influential & educational sports show on television. DeRo is my all time favorite, love the guy. He’s such an incredible baseball mind & great athlete. He was actually a pretty good college QB. Moreover, I have to say how beautiful Lauren is, she was a bombshell at UF. She can model workout attire 🤩🤩😻😻🔥💥❤️😍💕😍🥰. I pray 🙏 that MLB Central is back for the 23 season. Let’s get it Cubs fans!!
Thome had incredible power to the opposite field. Man when he pulled the ball... no one hit them harder. Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but she is hot as hell.
de ro comes off so great day after day show after show. making a name for himself after a solid mlb career. likeable and might get offered a gig in an organization soon.
A pitcher will read it right away and throw inside, especially if your batting stance was drastically different in your other at bats. Unless you're Cal Ripken and change it from pitch to pitch. It's like poker, you don't show your hand. Gwynn had the same batting stance for 20 years and sprayed it all over the place.
When Thome came to the plate... especially in a tight game, you always felt like he was about to crush it. His persona on the field always seemed to bring the magic of baseball to life. For me, there are very few players today who carry that torch. Mike Trout, definitely... Harper tries, but is just a brat... maybe it's different for the younger generation... which players bring that magic alive for you?
I don't know who this lovely young lady is, but she's definitely interested in learning the game. That swing looks pretty doggone good to me especially with Jim help.
I learned the same thing like Lauren shahadi one of my trainers taught me how to do the knob to the ball drill and shake the pitchers hand drill to very similar to what they are showing Lauren and I started to get better hitting the ball
More like Lauren She-hottie :) And, damn, she can swing the bat. And, Thome was always a beast at the plate. Love that dude. Love the show, you guys are always entertaining and fun and informative.
As someone trying to do the opposite (im a lefty that cannot pull at all) do players actually change their stance, where they are in the box, and where they hold the bat depending on the pitcher and where they want to take the ball? The changes are so minute I dont really notice them while watching games.
Like many, I just wanted to get an eye full those cheeks but I will definitely consider these tips next time I hit the batting cage. I ended up learning a lot lol. Thank you, MLB Network.
Lauren Shehadi listen here cause I'm being Straight Up, Honest, For Real, True, No Lie, 💯, On God, Facts, I'm telling everyone right now that 3/4 of the time I'm trying to watch MLB Network for insight, scores, and rundowns from the games the night before and get info, opinions, and analogies on games for the upcoming night but when Lauren SheHottie is on the screen at all I can't pay attention to anything but her period!!! Even if she's in a dang winter coat with snow boots while rocking sweat pants and a beanie cap I still can't concentrate on anything but her and I'm not even "THAT GUY" who drools over or makes a big deal about the hot chick on TV, but good grief she's super distracting but distracting in the most absolute awesome way humanly possible!!! God thank you for DVR, where I can at least rewind the shows as much as needed to actually be able to eventually pay attention and listen to what the heck the guys are talking about after numerous hours of rewatching over an over from having to hit the skip back button so much my fingers start to cramp up!!! SMH!! Which by the time it's all said and done it causes me to stay tuned into a single episode of just a hour long MLB Show for like 12 hours as I'm lost in a trance like this 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Lauren Shehadi your not bliss to this and you know exactly what your doing and God bless you for that cause your just too dang hot to not wanna flex what you got babe!!
Lauren: *hits walk off grand slam in game 7 of the world series*
Thome: little better!
LMAO😭💀
😆😆😆😁
Picture her coming into the clubhouse after the walkoff, raised in arms and Thome goes...
You gotta come in a little closer
Safe to say, Thome is hard to impress when comes to hitting.
I dare all the girls to take cool whip pies to the face and put the video on youtube!!
Thome's face was priceless when she lined the inside pitch right up the middle
This video demonstrates the skill involved in hitting and the hand to eye coordination involved.
Love how she is so excited to be learning and being successful. Thome, DeRo, you guys are the BEST.
This is the best thing ever. I come back to this for soothing. DeRosa and Thome are stoked at what is happening. Not TV stoked, but they are legitimately stoked at seeing this.
Man Thome is a hell of a mentor .
He's unbelievable. How many swings did it take him to notice her problem and figure out how to fix it? Maybe three or four?
Jonah Loeb its not hard to tell someone to go to right field and point the knob to the catcher...i would have been impressed if he told her to hit the inside of the baseball or extend the top hand more threw her swing.
They both definitely know what the hell they are doing. As it turns out, they don't just let anyone play in the show. Great hitting advice!
@@JonahLoeb Jonah: This is the product of prep time and fluffing a show.
Should have told her take her clothes off for more velocity
Just received more coaching here in 5 mins than I ever did growing up through high school ball. Coaching is everything in baseball.
Shehadi is so cute!! Thome seems like such a cool dude too!
ApparentlyEric thome is definitely a good dude. Held his car at my hotel once dude was incredibly nice and an excellent tipper. Shehottie is amazing
Thome is a class act
Thome is so down to earth. Showed him my secret to shinier shoes and told me to giving him a shoe shine outside Detroit daily news stand.
Jim, I grew up in Cleveland watching you. I want to thank you for the homeruns you hit and how you carried yourself throughout the years. I couldn’t have asked for a better childhood. As a kid, it was exciting and that’s the way it should have been. Thanks Jim.
He never read this
The thirst level in the comments is at an all time high
It's the Internet soooo yeah.
I disagree. I say it is very on par.
oh either were thirsty or sexist give me a break lauren is awesome shes a total athlete
Lauren a dime
lol shes not even hot smh
After years of watching him play for rival teams, I never knew I was a Thome fan... This guy is awesome!
Thome was not only awesome on the field, he was awesome off the field too. he was a true "selfless star." he never missed an opportunity to talk to a kid whom he knew loved him, because he knew that kid would remember that moment for the rest of his life. he treated Indians fans like family and we loved him for it. him and Omar Vizquel were doing pregame warmups before a game and he turned to the crowd when they were done and I miraculously got his attention and he threw it to me.

Great story, funny too, stared your dad down to do the right thing lol thanks for sharing
Funny how Manny Ramirez and Jim Thome later went on to play for the Dodgers. On separate occasions.
Wicked story man
technique? Dad woulda gotn whoopd!!
God Bless the Yoga Pants. Gods Gift to men.
Northeastbaseball her ass not even nice
yoga pants makes their butt like 2 points higher on a 10 point scale though.
Praise Lycra and all of the wondrous things it brings.
Northeastbaseball Yoga pants are God’s gift to man? Apparently you’ve never spent any time in a Walmart.

The knob to the catcher tip is great!
plus Shehadi rocks
Horacio Garcia that's learned in tee ball
I never learned that and I played baseball for 15 years with tons of Legion ball experience. Its not a known thing
He meant the knob on the catcher's tip ......
played Division 1 college baseball and was never told that once lol... nice try though
I was never told that in six years of Little League. It might have helped me more, and I had the opposite problem that Lauren has. Also, I think I misunderstood what "bail out" meant before this video - I thought it only applied to the feet.
Thome is a great mentor and DeRo is hilarious. Lauren's genuine reactions to their tips working are perfect
I have to admit I tuned in to watch this chick in her tight black outfit ....but I actually learned a good tip or 2 about hitting 😀😀😀
What hitting?..
As obvious as it sounds now, I wish I had known about having the knob of the bat towards the catcher earlier. Either my coaches never told me about that, or I wasn't paying attention.
Honest question. What did you learn about hitting from this video?
@@braedenlane 1. Having the knob of the bat towards the catcher . 2. Who Jim Thome was and what team he played for. 3.

Incredible coaching!!! These guys know hitting!
My knob is pointed right now for sure.
She needs. To take off her shoes
Alex Earnhart wtf
tyler lugowy lol
amazing comment hahha
Alex Earnhart foot fettishes are wierd
Jim Thome is a genius! Would never have guessed a power hitter would known so much about hitting!
Good catch by DeRo telling Lauren to stay square and not shift totally towards the catcher to hit to right center. And good that Lauren made him define “don’t bail out”.
The science of baseball and hitting is so awesome to watch
People that say, "I am not into baseball. Or " I hate baseball because it's boring" are the people who prefer checkers over chess! FACT!
Jim Thome is a class act. Provided very helpful instruction to Lauren without belittling or condescension.
Jim Thome needs to be the Texas Rangers hitting coach. He will fix Rougned Odor and Joey Gallo! He’ll have them hitting .300 and not .200
Big fan of your videos
The Rangers couldn't afford him. He makes too much money at Fox.
Thome was struggling here lol I'd do better.
If he wants a pay cut 😂
He got CTB too..
excellent hip action 5:30
MLB Network is the ONLY thing I watch on TV you guys are awesome
MLB Central is MLB's answer to Inside the NBA.
Thome was a beast! I loved watching him homeruns.
Lauren is one of my favorite TV personalities. She is awesome on all the MLB Network shows. And she's an awesome person too.
Dero was a clubhouse guy. But would step up when needed. You need those kind of guys on championship ballclubs.
"DON'T HIT ME." -Jim Thome. Awesome.
Derosa is a good fit for mlb program, let us leave it at that.
She looks fantastic! Oh I'm in love!
Pretty good!
Hearing some of your teachings here 💯💯 keep up the great work
Anto - show your blue!
pretty good piece of ass
I dare all the girls to take cool whip pies to the face and put the video on youtube!!
I love MLB network. Lauren is absolutely precious
Thome is a class act, phenomenal player & great man. The MLB Central cast (DeRo, LS, Roflo) are the best in the business, the most entertaining, influential & educational sports show on television.

Lauren actually has nice form...
And her swing is pretty good too
🤣😝
Such a crush on Lauren 😊..
Nice adjustments to Jim and marks instructions, also you hit the sweet spot on the last hit☺
Thome had incredible power to the opposite field. Man when he pulled the ball... no one hit them harder.
Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but she is hot as hell.
Maybe a few people mentioned it 😂 and yes she is hot. She also has a nice swing. Very softball esque.
Wow Jim Thome is a good coach. Shehadi has a nice swing..
She has a better swing than Chris Rose for sure but that's not really saying much
de ro comes off so great day after day show after show. making a name for himself after a solid mlb career. likeable and might get offered a gig in an organization soon.
I love how serious DeRosa is, "wait, wa-wo-wo-wait, you're cheating...."
Mark DeRosa ia an arrogant prick! I'm sure he's thinking: why are we wasting our manly time on this GIRL!
A pitcher will read it right away and throw inside, especially if your batting stance was drastically different in your other at bats. Unless you're Cal Ripken and change it from pitch to pitch. It's like poker, you don't show your hand. Gwynn had the same batting stance for 20 years and sprayed it all over the place.
I could watch her for days.
Creep/ simp
6:08 “Don’t yell at me”. HE WASN’T YELLING! THIS IS YELLING!!!
Lauren "The Body" Shehadi 👌
In body mass alone...
I'm in love with this woman, and that last swing looked perfect
I can't talk trash to Jim he ain't no joke.
I love this woman 😍😍
She can swing!!!
1989acha wow
Isaiah Lopez hi :)
I mean... know she sorta can
Simp
What a gorgeous woman
My childhood idol right there. The purest home run hitter of my lifetime. Nobody hit the ball the other way with as much power.
This woman is perfection, beautiful, athletic, knows baseball, that voice, oh and did I mention beautiful?
nfamus540 they have so many women that are like that, between Heidi Watney, Kelly Nash, Michelle McMahon, etc.
bLaCjAcK Daniels yeah, your mom
She has them knockout legs she puts you in a triangle choke your passing out lol
She doesn't 'know baseball'. She's reading from a teleprompter. He's speaking from experience.
@@christian4u69 theyre pros of course they know more shes an athlete but only collegiate level
This should be Lauren's mandatory wardrobe for every show.
Don't say it out loud, just think it
Al Kaline said it so simply: when you're in a slump, just try to hit the ball up the middle. Suddenly you'll be hitting ropes all over the field.
You know Thome want's to stand behind her to teach her how to swing but he's on TV😂
Man Lauren is so cool and easy on the eyes as well
Someone needs to shut her phoney mouth from speaking on media....
Her fakeness on tbs is intolerable.
God bless yoga pants.
Stop
to get hitting instructions from Jim Thome has to be an awesome experience
Shehadi the body!!
I luv her she is the best they should host her on show MLB network
When you say, just one more, just one more. You hit that sweet spot where improvements live.
When Thome came to the plate... especially in a tight game, you always felt like he was about to crush it. His persona on the field always seemed to bring the magic of baseball to life. For me, there are very few players today who carry that torch. Mike Trout, definitely... Harper tries, but is just a brat... maybe it's different for the younger generation... which players bring that magic alive for you?
didi gregorius
Chris I was gonna say Didi too. The man can just flat out play and he is classy
I don't know who this lovely young lady is, but she's definitely interested in learning the game. That swing looks pretty doggone good to me especially with Jim help.
Lauren Shehadi is so cute
I like when she gets excited
Maybe he could teach the Texas Rangers to hit, specifically Roughned Oh4
I learned the same thing like Lauren shahadi one of my trainers taught me how to do the knob to the ball drill and shake the pitchers hand drill to very similar to what they are showing Lauren and I started to get better hitting the ball

And, Thome was always a beast at the plate. Love that dude.
Love the show, you guys are always entertaining and fun and informative.
Joe O'Malley she's hot asf
Love Me Some Lauren. She is super great in all facets. Keep it rolling along Lauren. Go Nationals..!!
Only baseball players will relate, but HOW MANY TIMES HAVE U HEARD THIS SAME ADVICE
Wow....these two are great teachers as well
Man ....Lauren....😍👍👍
Someone needs to shut her phoney mouth from speaking on media....

turn sideways in that skin tight outfit because you are such a talented broadcaster.
Not only was it hilarious. But it was also highly informative.
lol she has a better swing than dero tbh
She's so excited. That's awesome 👍
Frank Thomas. In his prime he was perhaps the most complete hitter in baseball.
Stop
What a difference as soon as Jim got her to keep her front arm connected in her swing.
Asking the most pull-happy slugger in history how to hit the other way......
Thats ryan howard not jim thome
Why Jim Thome is a baseball hitting legend... he did this in like 5 minutes, imagine with years of training what’s possible
5:19 Thome trying to get a whiff while helping out. 2 for 1
lmaoooo
She's putting on a show with that bat
Got some tips for the box and got to watch a beautiful girl demonstrate those tips.....this video is a win win.
i love lauren shehadi
DeRo going to have a heart attack after each of those early on swings
Literally all you gotta do is step towards rf lol. I'm a huge pull swinger and that works for me everytime.
Dude, Lauren can swing!
She had to have played Softball or something...
You got Thome teaching you. You better listen.
DAMN!… I've never seen her before… whatta beauty!
Like many, I just wanted to get an eye full those cheeks but I will definitely consider these tips next time I hit the batting cage. I ended up learning a lot lol. Thank you, MLB Network.
That's a pretty good swing .... tough crowd
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Nothing about Lauren needs to be fixed....
White yoga pants next time
Simp
I would love to fix her panties. Lol
Simp
Legend has is she is still swinging for right field to this day
Every baseball junkie's wet dream here. She deserves a World Series ring at the alter.
This video was awesome. Loved it!
She has a good swing looks like she played before
I agree. She has a softball background but can't find it.
She said she played High School Ball. Not sure about COLLEGE.
Jim Thome has the best swing ever.
'I wanna still you UHHHH UHHHH DO a drill with you.'
Loved thome when he was with my sox and got a WS ring and hittin bombs
She’s a cutie pie 🥰
