I would love to come out with my boys for some sessions. How do I schedule an appointment?

I don't play baseball anymore. Mostly golf now. But from what I see is the way you do it. What I call is getting to the slot of the plane real fast. Same thing with golf you got to have your Trail elbow improper position in order to deliver power. And this what you doing. I will try to use your concept in the golf swing thanks again

You are great at breaking things down and explaining thank you !

There will be lots of people that don’t understand this feel but WOW WHAT A GREAT VIDEO. Thanks so much fir this video. STUDY AND LEARN FOLKS.

Good stuff ty

Works for golf. It translates into a shallowuing move to start the downswing.

I've just found your channel and learning about your swing technique & philosophy. The concepts are great, however is there extra torque on the rear elbow that could lead to injury?...I need to continue to learn more about your swing technique as there are many positive presented

Shouldn’t be any type of pressure put on the rear elbow

I’ve been hitting like this all my life since high school we called the right hook but with 2 strikes you want to change it up!

I think one of the big problems people have with your method is when you tilt and turn your head does not stay down on the ball and you are looking up to the sky over left field. If you did your swing and kept your head looking down at the ball or plate I think it would look much better especially for guys teaching young kids that always have a habit of swinging and pulling their head and looking at the stars. Your move can be done with your body as a swivel moving under your head and thereby keeping your head and eyes on the ball but your example does not. My two cents thats all

The rear arm action snap , seems like it’s hard on the wrist … do you have an exercise to strengthen the wrists

Teacherman usually swings the bat from his shoulder with snapping. Other drills involve spinning the bat vertically like a pinwheel. Are these two swings the same? This question is from Japan.

I found watching his videos that his head is moving down and away from his front stride foot….is that what I should be doing also bc I feel like I generate more power with my head staying above my hips. Any feed back from anyone would be great.

So what I see you have done is you have incorporated into your training, front arm compression like Jaime stresses. That was one of my beefs with your previous videos. You omitted the importance of the front arm. That’s not to undermine the importance of your concepts. On the contrary, I’ve come to really embrace them. But you have taken a huge leap forward in the use of the two arms. Good job in recognizing that. You’re good!

Cheers

Everything is great about this technique except the wrist snapping. Where you say the back of hand facing the pitcher for the snap.I went back to look at all the great hitters like you do. What i get from the wrist is the palm is up when the bat snap happens. Everything else is perfect but that's what I see from the details. Even when you are swinging that's what I get from it.

Try to do what he is saying at full speed and look where your hands end up. They will finish palms up/down. He exaggerates the snap for demonstration to highlight the movement and feel.

Swearing in position doesn't preserve the 90 degree triangle at ur bicep. How should you reconcile this?

Very similar to Matt Antonelli teaching. Hitting inside out and getting the barrel behind the hitter. Both great!!

Agreed. Matt just uses different words. I started incorporating these and Matt's concepts together and I doubled my average, And I started hitting homeruns, which I was not able to do before. I have hit them off the top the Green Monster with wood at Jet Blue Park (Red Sox Spring Training Facility).

Why not start with the barrel flat behind you .. to eliminate the snap ??? … The snap is already in position

I don't know, but it looks like an axe bat, maybe? Somewhere between tee-ball and little league.

I have watched a ton of your YT videos and have found your stuff to be very helpful. When I watch the slow motion swings of a lot of top MLB hitters, Aaron Judge included, I do not see their rear elbow leading their hands or below their hands as you are showing here. I understand there has to be supination of the top hand to get the barrel on plane, but on slow motion swings you can see the back elbow stays behind the hands as the barrel goes through the zone. Can you help me understand what is best to teach. I have always taught my boys to make sure the back elbow doesn't lead the hands.

I'm glad you asked this question, because it is a point of confusion for me. I too, teach my players that the rear elbow should not get in front of the hands as it causes bat drag. I see a lot of concepts from Teacherman that are familiar to me. However, I have never seen anybody explain using the back leg as an axis point. I have always been about getting the hip rotation started separate from the upper body and then turning the hands/bat into a lag position while they are still connected to the back shoulder.

@seawolfdon8571

It makes lots of sense, my approach has always been, fire my hips and arms will automatically go with my hips. As long as you have tilt in your upper chest . U will always have the barrel at 4 clock. If u notice lots of these great hitters have their angles at 4 or 5, if you have a low inside pitcher my angle will be at 6pm and finish at 11pm. I normally train my clients like a clock system when the barrel is coming through the zone.

I agree this is a point of confusion however I think it’s possible to do without elbow drag. It’s more of a wrist movement it seems to get the bat into the zone.

@jsteindog

I think elbow slightly in front, slightly behind or even with hands are all fine - once your hands are in line with your rear hip socket you let them out to the ball (or keep them there for inside pitch). You will def drag the bat if elbow gets way out front for bulk of the swing so you are right in that sense. I think he's just emphasizing the importance of slotting the elbow to keep the swing true.

So funny i was doing these in my basement just last night qhile my kids were playing..before seeing this...seemed logical!

ive tried swinging like this. my wrists feel like they are going to break on the follow through

Tuck both elbows tight in swing still works

He’s humble

If you elbow beats your hands not only are you losing power but your barrel will dip under the ball. No player in the MLB will swing like this. They won't make it to that level with a swing like that. Watch any MLB player in slow motion hitting, not one let's his elbow beat his hands.

@@tylerm4284 so true. Against overhand baseball this is an auto out on anything thigh high and above. Lol.

But teaching kids this snap of the barrel can easily be misunderstood by the child… Then they’ll start dropping their back elbow, drag their bat, have a long swing and that will create a whole different issue… I feel like this instruction is best catered to adults

There is a lot of contradictory info out there, which has caused confusion. Among parents, coaches everyone. E.g., A hundred videos about the evils of bat drag vs this.

I’m 50 years Too late for these lesson!😢

How is this possible? Why doesn’t he demonstrate the entire swing? This is confusing. The drill looks nothing like his swing.

Everything. Scrap this garbage and never watch it again. Brutal teaching of hitting.

Where was this man early in my life. Unfortunately, my time has passed but I hope the young men understand how fortunate they are to have this info at their fingers.

That’s cap

4:25 barrel is not only not in the zone long enough to be able to adjust to the trajectory of the ball, but to do so the entire bat would have to be lowered or raised to do so. This might feel great against a machine, but this would be very difficult to use against a pitcher. We don't get to determine optimal batting technique, the pitcher has been influencing that over the lifetime of the sport. So there's really no point in torque if your top hand is in the weakest position to drive the bat to meet the ball and follow through on that trajectory. At 90°, which is what the forearm is to the upper arm with every slugger I've ever seen, the arm as a lever is at it's strongest. There is no task where you're at your strongest and have range to adjust with the arm collapsed. Bench press, driving a rifle, swinging a bat, swinging a sword, everything is at it's most difficult when the arm is in an acute angle, that's just axial physics. If this worked in game, the guys during the dead ball era would have been using it.

Really, really not good. Will just comment on one of many flaws with this swing. You aren’t getting your front foot down before your hands, hips, etc. start moving forward into your swing path. That’s TERRIBLE. Sorry, no other way to put it. Terrible.

This guy trains the best player in the MLB last year. And if you forgot, even the guys that he trains who aren’t as good as Judge, still would go 4-4 with 4 homers in your men’s slow pitch softball game. -Dylan Moran
