HOW TO HIT A HOME RUN FOR THE FIRST TIME!! In today's video Coach Justin from Ultimate Baseball Training will show you a few baseball hitting tips to help you learn how to hit a home run for the first time.

The first tip may seem counterintuitive, but you need to stop trying to hit home runs.

When you begin trying to hit the ball a long way, typically this causes you to tighten up.

When you get tight, your body does not work as smoothly and efficiently. Tight muscles will actually slow your bat speed, which is counterproductive to our goal of hitting a home run.

You want to stay loose and relaxed physically, aggressive mentally.

Your muscles will tighten up naturally at the point of contact. Breathe and don’t try to do too much.

Remember, if you get consistent at hitting hard line drives, home runs will come with time as you get bigger and stronger.

The next tip is get into your legs.

Power comes from your big muscles, not your small muscles. Your hands, wrists, and forearms are important in the baseball swing, but they are not nearly as important as your legs. Remember, bat speed is generated from the ground up.

Once you get into your legs, the next thing that will help you hit home runs is creating separation between your upper and lower body. The more separation you get, the more energy you'll build up.

Another tip is to have your front shoulder slightly lower than your back shoulder at launch position. This helps you set an axis for your body to then turn around, just like how a globe turns around a rod.

Try your best to stay behind the ball once you shift your weight. "Staying back" happens after your weight shift, not throughout your entire swing.

Lastly, try your best to stay connected and keep everything as tight to your body as possible. You will have more bat speed and power this way and you'll be at your strongest.
