Hi kids, it's me Dominic! today i'm going to show you how to play baseball and that's one of my favorite sports
and before you play baseball you need some equipment, so when you catch you need a glove
because if you don't have a glove on it's going to hurt your hands
and then, do you know why you need cleats? you need them, so you don't slip on the dirt
and then when you're batting you put that helmet on
See? It did not hurt
even when it go really hard does not hurt
when you batting you need a bat and when they are smashing
they don't just use their hands they also use gloves
here i go
it's kinda slippery with it
if it's in the middle of the baseball game
you need to drink some water
you don't need to have this but for this stuff I'm gonna use it
so I can put a whole bunch of stuff in it and it has somewhere to put cleats in
and I don't know what this bottom one for, I guess it's for cleats too
inside is for all the gear
and the water bottle can go on each side and the bat can slot into this
my Dad helped me put it in
I'm gonna take it out and i'm gonna bat first
let's go learn about baseball, let's go!
now my Dad is gonna be me my assistant
first i'm gonna do 30 seconds warm-up, let's go!
All right, so let's start off with some stretches. okay!
we're gonna stretch those arms out
and then you gotta do it to the other arm, there you go, stretch up here
stretch down here, all the way down to the ground
we can do real quick ... just to get your get your blood flowing some jumping jacks
This is Dominic's favorite exercise! No it isn't, My least favorite exercise
but it gets you going, okay now we're gonna get even more warmed up
we're gonna run around that tree and back again, ready? let's go!
oh you beat me
my Dad's going to be batting and I'm going to be pitching
if you're right-handed you're throwing with right-handed and you're catching with left-handed
if your left-handed it means you're going with this one and if you're right-handed gloving, means you're throwing with the left hand
and if you're right hand throwing, your left hand is catching, let's go!
the easiest is to do like this, but that's not how the real guys go, so I like it like this
Now I am going to show you a different position
is the Catcher
The Catcher catches every pitch and where the Bat is - is right in front
and the Catcher's behind the base my Dad is going to pitch it to me
Do you know why i'm going to use a softball? Because I don't have the right gear for a hardball, let's go!
Do you know how I catch? Watch that again.
So the point at the base, it needs to point right to the Catcher
now I'm gonna teach you how to hit and if you never played baseball and you never hit before
the good way to use the tee, I don't need a tee but i'm just showing you how you can use it
if you're right-handed you put your right hand on top and left hand on bottom
and then you want to be a hand distance from the plate and I'm going to show you again
my Dad is going to pitch to me without the tee, for the beginners it's usefully with the tee, but I'm older for the tee
My Dad is gonna pitch, I'm gonna bat
let's go
this is home plate
this is first base
this is second base
third base, let's go!
I'm gonna show you around the field in the outfield
if the other team is batting and the other team is catching so they try to get them out, let's go!
I'm going to be the first baseman, so it's the most important thing so like
if the ball are next to you, you can always go out and take it and go back on the base
or you can tag the runner, but every other base you need to attack the runner
now I want to try to get a guy out of first, let's go!
one of my favorite positions is a Shortstop. And here’s a second and third and it’s right in between
I will show you how I want to catch it out here
so you can use two hands to catch the ball
and I caught it with my two hands right here
Hey kids, it's me Dominic! Today is my first baseball game, so today I hope we win
but all that matters I'm playing, let's go Cardinals!
