Very helpful thank you!
Excellent advice
Really helpful tips! I'm kind of shocked this hasn't gotten more views and likes. You explain everything really well. My kiddo just started little league, and these pointers are definitely going to help him with developing a good swing.
Flat out wrong
Also something to note... Some bat's are much heavier swinging and vice versa... For example, Just because you get a 28 drop 10 (18oz) bat doesn't ALWAYS mean that it's going to feel lighter swinging than a 29 drop 10.. There are alot of variables that go into the feel of the bat (how the bat is balanced etc.) so keep that in mind as well!
Bbn
Verbal balking?
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS DRILL WORKING 9 , 10 , 11 ,AND 12 YEARS OLD BUT I DONE THEM MYSELF BEFORE I TAUGHT THEM TO MANY TIMES ACTUALLY ALL THE TIME COACHES TELL THEIR PLAYERS DO THIS DRILL BUT NEVER SHOW THEM THEY CAN DO IT MOST OF THE TIME THEY SIT ON THEIR FIVE GALLON CONTAINERS AND JUST WATCH THEM I FEEL IF THEY KNOW YOU CAN DO IT THEY PUT MORE INTO IT
wut?
You take the knob between you n ball. Never knob to the ball..
Stop saying knob to ball. False saying.
Tony Gwynn would disagree with you.
Best hitters in baseball teach knobb to the ball. Tony Gwynn, soto, freeman, Ortiz.
Tony himself never took knob to the ball. Watch his videos. You all go get Tee put the ball on it n get on ur stand n take knob to the ball n lers see where the barrel would be at,get back to me with the results. I'll be waiting.
You lost me at height of bat. Its length of bat.
Length and height are relative - put the bat vertically on the floor and the measurement of its height is as as useful
Thanks for sharing the video
Thanks for making the video
Thanks for posting
Thanks. Very helpful!
Great job
The intro scared me because it looked like the ball was going to hit the camera
This video helped a lot thanks man.
I like you last name it reminds me of a famous girl named Milly Bobby Brown she is from stranger things
Are you a lefty
Thank you this helped so much
Thanks! You helped me pick out bats for my 2 sons standing here in the store.
He hit Grove and Johnson. He could hit anybody.
I was thinking the same thing. Those guys were known to throw heat.
Yes and pitch well today as well as steal well and play defense well.
The reason pitchers were throwing 20-30 complete games per year back then was because they weren't throwing as hard and thus less wear and tear on their arms. That's also why Ruth could get away with swinging a 53-ounce bat. Maybe the Babe could make it in today's game but he would have to switch to a much lighter bat, tighten up his swing and follow a serious training regimen, ie something more than lifting beers and hot dogs.
Pitchers threw just as hard back then, with much better stamina. They did not need pulled in fences, shortened walls, lighter bats, and Ped's in order to perform like your cowards do.
Stop trolling, they did not and they all know it. Pitchers from 20s inspired the pitcher of the 30s and so on. Nolan Ryan was notorious for his heat and revered by all as he was the first to hit 101. Now the top 10% can hit trip. As to stamina, they didn't throw as hard, and giving up runs wasn't as micromanaged. If your pitcher blew the game, he's finishing why waste an arm.
Ruth hit the best of the best. You base nothing off common sense. You base it off of personal bias.
Dude! Pitchers were throwing hard back then... are you kidding me? They were still throwing in the 90s... And he was using a 45+ ounce bat!
Please let us know why you think after 100 years there’s been no change to velocity? While I do believe a hand full could throw in the 90’s in the early 1900’s, it’s no where close to what it is today. It’s a well known fact a MLB fastball has increased year after year to what it is today but back then there was no technology to record velocity. My opinion is based off common sense.
@@bobbybrownbaseball9590 Ruth caught up to the fastest throwers of his day, Johnson, Hubbell, Gomez, and even homered in an exhibition off of Satchel Paige. He was a front foot hitter, same as Hank Aaron and Ichiro. Where I think he’d struggle is with today’s sliders and cutters. That would eat into his average. The power numbers would be similar. Of course, he’d have to swing a lighter bat.
It's called tork and bat speed
Did you play with Dee Brown, when you were with the Royals?
Lay a stick across home plate kind of diagonal from slightly rt in back to between 2nd and 3rd in front. Take your knob down that path(other way for lefty) tightly fasten a wrist or ankle weight around bat just above hands(you may have to put a rubber resistance band around bat between bat and weight so it's secure and won't slip at All. Then do overload/underload off the tee. Boom. It's free. Not only trains hands to the bat, but increases speed and incorporates propper bat/shoulder tilt mechanics. Rock the baby. Thank me later😁
Babe would hit great in any era!
Than you so much this helped me a lot in the outfield
Do the legs on that tee extend to only one height, or can they be adjusted to be a bit more parallel to the ground?
What is the size, when that 7 x 7 net is packed in its storage bag?
Dude the pitchers back then threw just as hard as today me Not to mention Ruth was a pitcher too and he hit because back then pitchers had way more stamina and it wasn’t like today where there’s pitchers only, and his swing you might say there’s flaws but he hit 714 hr back then so today with much lighter bats he would destroy mlb
Dude, be for real. Pitchers threw just as hard back then, but had greater stamina. Babe would love hitting this weaker pitching in these tiny ballparks. He would dominate.
Attention: do not swing like this!
Youre kidding right..
One thing not mentioned is that the defense is MUCH better, equipment, field conditions, and shift science would cut down on hits from Ruth's day...
I do not think so on the fielding
BABE RUTH IS THE GREATEST MLB BASEBALL PLAYER EVER...FIRST A GREAT PITCHER THEN HITTER...NO ONE ELSE HAS DUPLICATED THAT COMBO OF BB SUCCESS...TO CONCLUDE...ALL ANY GREAT ATHLETE OF ANY SPORT CAN DO IS EXCEL IN THEIR ERA...SO VIDEOS LIKE THESE.. THOUGH THOUGHT PROVOKING...ARE PURE CONJECTURE...BABE RUTH (RIP)
The pitchers were craftier and far better yesterday than today
@@davidpadilla9468 They also were legally able to throw SPITBALLS !
Taking the knob to the ball is less than ideal mechanics, and using a weight in the on deck circle actually slows down your bat speed. So much wrong information in this video.
I heard the same about the on deck thing but, I been taught knob to the ball by all my coaches and I’m pretty sure that if tony gwynn teaches knob to the ball, it definitely works
@@007shimmy4 It may have worked, but it is not wha the best hitters do and Gwynn may have taught it, but that is not really what his swing was. Real vs. Feel: www.chrisoleary.com/media/clips/hitting/pro/gwynn/Gwynn_Tony_TB_001_SF.gif
@@robnewman7952 I think the knob to the ball concept is more intended to help with the initiation of the swing, gets the bat on plane early like a lot of modern hitting philosophies talk about. Obviously extending the knob too far is going to create a quirky swing as well. Every hitter uses their body slightly different than others so the knob concept may work for someone that locks out too early.
Knob to the ball is just a cue...not a literal translation of what to do. As far as slowing down bat speed, that is true, but that information pertains to barrel weights not knob weights.
@@robnewman7952 There is a short part rather early in the swing that is knob to the ball, but not as long or late as most coaches try to incorrectly train kids. Fortunatly, we have lots of actual slow motion swing these days, even Ted Williams. Just carefully see what the good swings do and try to imitate.
Ruth is the best ever. Pitchers threw just as fast back then, moron.
Agreed.
50-ounce bat. He would adjust and be in better shape
He never swung a 50 oz bat. His heaviest was 44 oz and went lighter as he aged.
@@vgr112261 He swung a 54 oz bat.
How do you know which knob weight to purchase? My nephew is fourteen and currently using a 32 once aluminum bat.
With him being 14 I would go ahead and get the 12oz
