His swing isn’t much different than others, he just explains it differently. A lot of coaches do a TERRIBLE job of explaining to what they mean by “swinging down” on it, and they fail to realize everyone interprets information differently so that’s when you get people out there chopping wood and ruining their swing

Swinging down is stupid, only do it if it works for you AND your actually swing up AND your swing is perfect

He actually explains what he does, a lot of guys think they do one thing, when you watch tape, they don’t do that at all

More great stuff from Josh.

I would make it to the mlb 100% guarantee if josh Donaldson would somehow teach me.

John Olerud had a real nice swing... Albert Pujols has this flat zone swing Paul Molitor.. Donaldson really breaks it down and i think it was homerun 20 or 21 was high inside.. crushed it.

Amazing

I need a Ted talk of this

Between Nelly Cruz and this man the Twins have a real braintrust in the clubhouse for batting.

My 10 year old watched this about 100 times. He's trying to work on his swing.

HELL YEAH! MY SWING IS GETTING THEIR! ITS GETTING INTO ALL THE CORRECT POSITIONS AND CORRECT POSTURE!!! LESS GOO BOISS IM MAKING PROGRESSSS. Ive got the back foot and the lower body working right now.

So where do the hands need to finish? Infront of the body, a little inside the body, outside the body? On a top middle pitch.

Ayyy!!! Ive realized that i need to twist my hip ANDDD LEG into my swing. there are 3 things you can twist; The hip, the leg, and the foot. The foot alone = Squshing the bug The hip alone = The joint in the leg hurting around the hip The leg alone = probably something else For me i twist my hip and leg into it. If you watch his slow motion swing he does too. The foot is a byproduct of the hip and leg twisting. Had to watch a few videos for 2 hours to realize that, but im good for now...

I miss the 2016 jays

Thanks for the joshdonaldson front view swing! I'm realizing that i may be getting my elbow so far inside with correct sequence and mechanics because im not fully rotating. Turns out it was the lower body.

worst look of donaldson was the short blond hair with the earring. best look was the mullet and no earring, just looked so good

Ayy, Cheer up! Your gonna sprain your ucl in 2 3/4 weeks anyway... Which means your gonna have plenty of time to work on fielding and hitting :)

Hes right. 0:28 I am searching for it.

Im still stuck on fixing the backelbow. My (outer elbow) arm pops when i turn my wrist past half way (Already been to the doctor. They said it should be fine, but i don't think it is for hitting) and so when the barrel wips around from lag back my arm pops. My mind has made it a habit 200,000 swings later to suck in the elbow so that it gets palm up palm down without turning the wrist. Basically it turns the bat palmup palmdown with my elbow instead of my wrist, its like batdrag except the elbow doesnt get in front of my hand. 3:35 is where my elbow wants to pop. I'm still trying to fix it. turns out i have alot of muscle instabilities and weaknesses everywhere in my upperbody so im having to do physical therapy to fix that. I figure ill just get it to eventually lag back like that and if it pops and break thens i guess i know i had a good swing.

Donaldson is dressed like he came out of a trailer park in this video XD

So someone else doesn’t use the hands in his swing. So I’m not crazy

A lot of pop ups. But yeah, tell your coach “no”

The only person he can explain this to is himself

In a sense..‘each person has to “feel” it for themselves. They don’t have to do exactly what he does, hitters still have to get into particular positions consistently to be successful

because he doesn't pay attention to his hands....he has slight bat drag.... LOL.......

After the load, the hands have to stay in front of the back elbow. As the back elbow comes down, the hands have to lead or you end up pulling the bat behind you. The hands have to be on time, but he wants you to drop the bat behind him first.

@@happy8kiddo I disagree, the best hitters clearly have the hips lead the hands.
