    Launch Angle represents the vertical angle at which the BALL leaves the playerโ€™s bat after being struck. Donโ€™t confuse Launch Angle with Bat or Plane Angle. If you swing up, hit top of ball, ball goes straight in ground, what kind of LA did you create?

    Exit-velo is important(potential) BUT there is more to hitting than just that. Consistent max exit-velo, K-zone awareness, and situational hitting are more important to win. Itโ€™s like a P throwing 95 but canโ€™t throw Kโ€™s or even better, he can only throw a FB for K. #LearnToHit

    By now, I would think most would agree that staying flat (short to it long through it) increases our potential for barreling up balls, which means more balls in play, BA goes up and Kโ€™s go down. Ball down? Stay through it, no need to collapse backside and swing up to create LA.

    Iโ€™m all about using the whole field, especially with 2k or situational hitting. !!!! BUT if you canโ€™t pull a ball with backspin, you have a mechanical flaw that will result in high strikeouts #โ€™s and low batting average (which matters) because you canโ€™t stay through the zone.

    Serious Question: IF communication is important to the development of our hitters, why do we use words we have to look up in the dictionary and terms that make no sense? EXAMPLE: disassociation, contralateral stability, reciprocating, centration then horizontal abduction.
