By definition, a ball hit at a launch angle below 10 degrees is a ground ball, 10-25 degrees is a line drive and anything 25+ is considered a flyball. However, there is a big difference between a ball hit at a 30-degree launch angle and one hit at 60 degrees. The driven fly balls that hitters are looking for are – depending on the hitter – usually ...
Anytime the ball goes in the air, the hitter makes contact with the bottom half of the ball. When we drive the baseball in the air (25-35 degrees) we hit just below the centerline of the ball. When the ball gets skied to the infield or shallow outfield, the hitter hits well below the center of the ball. Basically, the lower on the baseball the bats...
Often when you see a hitter pop the ball up, it will be accompanied by a coach yelling, “Don’t uppercut.” In fact, the overwhelming number of players that I work with come in believing that pop-ups are caused by the bat moving up too much through the zone. This causes players to avoid dropping their back shoulder, try and stay on top of the ball an...
The term uppercut has a very negative connotation in the world of baseball. However, just about every high-level hitter swings with a slight uppercut, and doing so is a vital component of having success at the plate. As stated earlier, successful hitters will have the bat will drop below the ball to get on plane with the pitch early. From here, the...
Tee-Behind Bat Path Drill
This drill is great for reinforcing a slightly upward swing path. If you swing down on the ball, you’ll hit the second tee in your follow through. If a proper upward swing path is used, the barrel will just clear the top of the second tee. Anytime you hit the second tee, you know you didn’t have proper swing plane.
Two-Tee Bat Path Drill
This drill will help you understand what a slight uppercut looks like. Place two tees in front of you, with the center of the second baseball (farther from you) aligned with the top of the first ball. When done right, you should hit both squarely. If you have insufficient upward plane, the second ball will be popped up and mishit as you swing beneath it on too flat of a swing plane.
With any type of bat path, it is possible for a hitter to hit any part of the baseball. However, most of the time that balls get popped up, it is because the bat is not moving up enough through the hitting zone. Even though most coaches advise against upper-cutting, moving the bat on a more upward path through the hitting zone usually leads to more...

Hey r/golf. I’m a former baseball player who still plays softball, so the slice/over the top swing & the more than occasional shank was very prevalent in my golf game to start this year. About a month ago, I videoed my swing (I don’t have the video anymore or else I’d share) and I realized something. I was standing WAY to upright.
Jan 19, 2010 · The only major differences are the baseball is moving and in the air when hit, so the swing is closer to parallel to the ground. The golf ball is stationary, on the ground and the swing is more diagonal or on a tilted plane to the ground. Both swings are similar in that the baseball player waiting for the pitch is already loaded on the back ...

So first thing they need to do is get their grip on a little bit more strong. So their left hand generally will need to look something like this, so that this hand can hit kind of like a baseball, like you do with a baseball bat. And then the right hand is going to go on this way and it needs to stay in extension.
