hey it's coach Justin from ultimate
baseball training welcome back to
another video and today we're talking
hitting look every baseball player out
there wants to be a great hitter every
hitter wants to improve their hitting
and constantly get better but what does
that actually mean what traits do great
hitters actually have in common what
makes them unstoppable today I'm going
to share with you a few things that if
you practice will make you an
unstoppable hitter as well without
further ado let's jump into it alright
so the first thing when it comes to
becoming unstoppable as a hitter
don't miss mistake pitches alright and
here's what I mean by a mistake pitch
all pitchers throw mistake pitches by
the way and a mistake pitch is simply a
pitch that you know they don't locate
they don't execute the pitch the way
they want to or they don't throw it in
the spot that they're looking to throw
it into so they might be throwing a
hanging curveball
instead of that filthy curveball that
they were trying to throw so every
single picture at every single level is
gonna throw mistake pitches balls are
just you know they get out of their hand
a little funny they don't go to the spot
they're looking for they don't locate
that pitch and maybe they just don't
execute it the right way it comes out of
their fingers a little bit wrong every
pitcher is gonna throw mistake pitches
and here's the thing at the lower levels
of baseball you are going to get more
mistake pitches than at the the higher
levels of baseball right the more that
you climb up the ranks the less mistake
pitches that you're going to see so at
the high school level you might see a
few less mistake pitches than at the
youth level at the college level you're
definitely going to see less mistake
pitches in the high school level and
obviously professional pictures are
going to have the least amount of these
mistake pitches but every single level
of baseball every single pitcher out
there is going to throw mistakes the
best hitters in the world they do a
really good job of taking advantage of
those mistakes taking advantage of those
hanging breaking balls or those fast
balls they wanted to you know paint on
the black but instead they left it right
over the white of the plate alright so
take advantage don't miss those mistake
pitches all right and then the next tip
I have for you that's gonna make you
unstoppable as a hitter is be able to
crush the fastball I think that being
able to handle and crush the fastball is
really a prerequisite to
any other pitch you have to be able to
do damage with fast balls and the reason
why is because what pitch do pitchers
and at a young age when they're in youth
baseball what pitch do they learn to
throw first obviously the four seam
fastball right so every pitcher is gonna
throw a fastball it's also the
straightest pitch that you're gonna see
it's not gonna be a curveball where it's
you know dipping and diving and curving
and moving all over the place right the
fastball might have a little bit of
movement or a little bit of tail to it
or run or whatever but it's gonna be a
straight pitch okay and another reason
why you have to be able to crush the
fastball is because that's the pitch
that you get your timing off of right
that's what your timings based off of so
when you're you know in the on-deck
circle and you're watching the pitcher
warm up whether it's before the game or
in between innings you're not timing up
his curveball his changeup what are you
doing you're getting your front foot
down in time for the fastball you're
timing everything off of the fastball so
the best hitters in the world the ones
that are unstoppable you know they can
hit other pitches and they hit other
pitches really really well they hit
off-speed pitches well in fact the best
hitters hit every single pitch really
well but all of these great hitters that
are unstoppable they do damage with the
fastball so start there you've got to be
able to crush it another thing you'll
notice with all elite hitters out there
and this one's really really important
for you to understand and start applying
into your game great hitters unstoppable
hitters they foul off pitches and extend
at-bats so here's what I mean by that
because obviously your goal is not to
foul off pitches your goal is to hit the
ball hard put it in play and make
something happen but I'm not talking
about that I'm talking about good
pitchers right good pitchers are going
to execute good pitches that's why
they're good pitchers right so let's say
you're down Oh two in the count ok
you're down Oh two in the pitcher you
know he locates a perfect backdoor
slider at that point in time you've got
to kind of tip your cap to him and hey
that's a great pitch it's located well
maybe it fooled you maybe you're off
balance a little out over your front
foot that's going to happen good
pitchers they're gonna pitch well
they're gonna execute good pitches and
so that backdoor slider with two strikes
that might not be a pitch that you can
really crush and do damage with right
but you kind of got two options so
you're just gonna let that pitch go by
and get rung up by the umpire or
are you gonna foul that pitch off and
live to see another day are you gonna
extend the bat so that's what all of the
elite of the elite hitters do is they're
able to with two strikes you know they
widen up their stance they might get a
little bit closer to the plate but
they're they're up here battling and if
the pitcher executes is a great pitch
hey you know it is what it is good
pitchers are going to make good pitches
but they're really good at following off
pitches extending at-bats and then just
foul off pitches foul off pitches foul
off pitches and then all of a sudden
that pitchers gonna come back with a
mistake pitch and then they're able to
actually handle it and do some damage
with it so I'm telling you your batting
average is gonna skyrocket you're gonna
improve as a hitter if you learn with
two strikes to really you know battle
protect the plate foul off pitches that
are borderline pitches wait for the
pitch you're looking for and then do
damage with it and then the last tip for
today's video the last thing that's
gonna make you unstoppable at the plate
is have great plate discipline all right
hitting is hard enough guys so don't
make it any harder on yourself by
chasing pitches that are outside the
strike zone and you want to be
aggressive you want to step in the
batter's box
we're not here to walk we're not here to
see pitches you want to be aggressive at
the plate but here's the key think about
this aggressive patience okay so if yes
if he throws a pitch that's over the
white of the plate or anywhere close and
you can do some damage with it then yes
be aggressive and attack that pitch but
if it's you know three balls outside and
you just swing and miss at it
the pitcher you didn't force him to do a
good job you didn't force him to locate
a good pitch you're kind of getting
yourself out at that point so don't give
anything to the pitcher step in the
batter's box ready to go but have
patience and one of the best ways to
work on this aggressive patience thing
is just in batting practice have
disciplined BP I see too many hitters
who you know in batting practice comes
around and they step in the batter's box
and just because it's BP they get into
this mentality of I'm swinging at every
single pitch and that shouldn't be the
case right swing it good pitches swing
at the strikes but have enough
discipline you know if they miss a
little bit too far outside or inside or
up or down or whatever if it's a ball
take it take an aggressive take but
that's kind of how you develop that play
discipline but bottom line the best
hitters in the world they make the
pitchers work and then when the pitchers
do work they leave
ball too far out over the plate then the
best hitters obviously crushed the ball
and make them pay for you know leaving
that ball there making that mistake
