What your Baseball analysis will tell you
We lead with your single highest-priority fix — here are the questions it answers first.
Where your exit velo is leaking
See whether weak contact comes from bat speed, a steep attack angle, or off-center strikes — not guesswork.
Why you roll over or pop up
Trace the bat-path and attack-angle pattern behind weak grounders and lazy fly balls to your top fix.
Why you are late or jammed
Measure time to contact and hand path so you shorten up and stop getting beaten by velocity.

Pick what's actually happening in your swing — get the likely cause, one fix, and a drill to prove it.
Hitting Metrics SwingVantage Analyzes
All metrics are benchmarked by age group and competition level — from youth rec to professional.
Exit Velocity
Ball speed off the bat. Primary indicator of hard-hit contact quality.
Launch Angle
Vertical angle of the batted ball. 10–20° = line drives, 25–35° = home run trajectory.
Bat Speed
Barrel speed through the zone. Foundation of exit velocity.
Attack Angle
Upward swing path in degrees. Affects launch angle and ball flight.
Time to Contact
Milliseconds from first move to contact. Shorter = more time to read pitches.
On-Plane %
How often bat path matches pitch plane. Higher = more consistent contact.
Spray Angle
Pull/push tendency. Identifies pitch coverage gaps.
Distance
Projected distance of the batted ball based on EV and LA.

The features behind your baseball analysis
Each part of your hitting workflow has a full guide — tap any to learn how to use it.
AI Diagnostic Engine
A rules-based engine compares your data against sport-specific benchmarks and identifies your highest-priority swing fault — ranked by severity, confidence, and impact on performance.
Swing Video Upload
Upload a video of your swing from the face-on, down-the-line, or sport-specific angle. SwingVantage segments the video into phases and provides coaching notes for each phase.
Tracking Device Support
Accepts data from HitTrax, Rapsodo, Blast Motion, Diamond Kinetics, and similar hitting trackers.
Fix Stack — One Fix at a Time
SwingVantage finds your single highest-impact issue and turns it into a three-step loop: one body cue to feel, the best-matched drill for your level and the gear you have, and an honest before/after retest.
Motion Lab (3D)
Turn a phone clip into a 3D figure of your motion you can spin, slow down, and step through — with a phase-by-phase breakdown, scores for power, rotation, balance, sequencing, timing, and consistency, your top 3 fixes, and a practice plan.
Retest — Prove the Change
SwingVantage reminds you when a diagnosed finding is due for a retest, then — after you re-analyze under the same conditions — shows an honest before-and-after read of whether it actually changed.
What SwingVantage can and can't tell you
Every result carries the same honest label everywhere you see it — so you always know what's precise, what's an estimate, and what to trust for your next session. Our free engine does the everyday read; AI is an optional upgrade when you want more depth.
Measured
Read straight from your launch monitor or sensor data. The most precise number we can show.
Estimated
Our free coaching engine compares your swing to research benchmarks for your sport and level. Trustworthy direction you can train on today — no AI required.
Inferred
Want more detail? Optional AI reads your video frames for extra depth on top of the free read. Single-camera limits still apply.
Self-reported
Based on what you describe yourself. Useful context, and as accurate as the details you share.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What baseball hitting metrics does SwingVantage track?
- SwingVantage tracks exit velocity, launch angle, distance, bat speed, attack angle, time to contact, hand speed, spray angle, and on-plane percentage. Data can come from HitTrax, Rapsodo, Blast Motion, Diamond Kinetics, or manual entry.
- What is a good exit velocity for high school baseball?
- A solid benchmark for high school hitters is 85–90+ mph EV. College-level players typically target 90–95 mph. Professional-level hitters average 92+ mph, with elite hitters exceeding 105 mph.
- What launch angle should I target in baseball?
- For maximum hard-hit authority, most coaches target a 10–20° launch angle for line drives and hard grounders. Optimal home run launch angles are 25–35°. Anything above 40° typically results in pop-ups.
- Can SwingVantage help me fix a casting or long swing?
- Yes. SwingVantage analyzes attack angle, time to contact, and hand path to identify casting, looping, and long-to-the-ball patterns. Targeted drills address each fault.
- Is SwingVantage useful for youth baseball players?
- Yes. SwingVantage adjusts benchmarks by age and skill level. Parents and coaches can track development over time and generate age-appropriate drill progressions.

Analyze My Baseball Swing FreeProof, not just claims
Here's a worked Baseballexample on sample data — the same shape your real report takes. We show the evidence, the confidence, and what we honestly can't know.
Example diagnosis
Early top-hand roll-over: the barrel closes before contact, catching the top of the ball — a contact-point and sequence issue, not just "wrists."
Top fix: Stay through the ball with a palm-up / palm-down hand position at contact and let the release happen AFTER the ball, driven by sequence rather than an early flip.
What SwingVantage uses
- At contact the top-hand palm is already turning down (should still be up)Estimated
- A wrappy, around-the-body finish suggests the barrel left the zone earlyInferred
- Reported weak pull-side grounders match an early-roll, closed-face contactInferred
What it can't know
- Exact bat speed or exit velocity without a sensor/radar
- Whether it is timing vs. mechanics until we also see live pitching
- Bat fit and any physical limitations — use age-appropriate gear and stop if it hurts
How you'll measure progress
On day 7, re-film from the same open-side angle and hit 10 tee balls. Freeze at contact: is the top-hand palm up now? Chart line drives vs. grounders over the next two weeks.
Coach & parent summary
Hitter rolls over early, producing pull-side grounders. Priority: stay through the ball, release after contact. Drills: palm-up checkpoint, two-tee path, oppo tee work. Retest in 7 days; chart contact quality.
Your hitter is catching the top of the ball, which turns good effort into soft grounders. The plan is three simple tee drills over a week — no extra strength needed yet. Keep it positive and let them feel solid contact.
What do the confidence labels mean?
Illustrative example
Sample data, not your swing — used on demos and the sample reports so you can see the format before you start.
Heuristic estimate
A smart, data-backed read from limited input (a self-report or a single video). It is honest about being an estimate, and it sharpens every time you add a swing.
Measured
Values actually computed from your swing video or imported launch/sensor data are labelled as measured — not estimated.
We always show you which one you are looking at, and never present an estimate as a measurement.
Your swing, decoded — coaching in your pocket. SwingVantage reads your data and hands you the one fix that matters most, with confident, data-backed guidance you can use today. Findings are heuristic estimates — smart reads that sharpen with every swing you add — and they pair perfectly with a coach for injury concerns or advanced technique work, so you show up to those sessions already ahead.
