Swing Score

Primary fix identified

Over-Uppercut Swing Plane

The barrel drops too far below the hands, matching the steep arc with an even steeper swing — producing pop-ups.

Slow-pitch is won by matching the descending arc with a slightly-up, on-plane swing. Too much uppercut and you live under the ball; a controlled plane turns those pop-ups into line drives.

What do I do next?

Match the arc with a controlled plane. Drill staying on top of the ball into a slightly-up finish, then time the load to the pitch’s peak.

Phase-by-Phase Breakdown

Stance

Comfortable and ready. More time to react means no need to rush — be patient and athletic.

On track

Load

Watch the ball arc. Load as it peaks — you have time to read and react.

Watch

Stride

Small step, soft landing. Let the ball get to you — don't chase it.

Watch

Hip Fire

Drive those hips through first. Arms follow — they never lead in this swing.

On track

Contact

Match the arc of the ball. Brush up through it for a rising line drive.

On track

Extension

Drive through to the outfield wall — don't stop at contact.

On track

Finish

High finish — let the bat swing itself through.

Other Patterns We Spotted

Poor Arc Timing

Starting the swing too early on the high arc, so the barrel arrives before the ball.

Pulling Off Early

Front side opens before contact, leaking power and spraying the pull side.

Line-Drive Angle Tee Drill

Match the bat angle to a line-drive trajectory, not a steep uppercut

4 sets of 15 line-drive tee swings

Watch examples

Overhead Barrier Flatten Drill

Physically cap an overly steep swing plane so the finish stays level instead of whipping up and over

4 sets of 10 tee swings with the overhead barrier

Watch examples

Side Toss Trajectory Feedback Drill

Use live ball-flight feedback from underhand side tosses to self-correct an overly steep bat angle

3 sets of 20 side toss reps, tracking pop-up rate

Your 7-Day Practice Plan

Day 1Understand the fix — slow reps grooving the feel of correcting "over-uppercut swing plane".

Day 2Line-Drive Angle Tee Drill — block practice, quality over quantity.

Day 3Line-Drive Angle Tee Drill at full speed, then add Overhead Barrier Flatten Drill.

Day 4Overhead Barrier Flatten Drill — build it into a repeatable pattern.

Day 5Side Toss Trajectory Feedback Drill — integrate the new feel into normal swings.

Day 6Pressure practice — random reps and a small game/scoring challenge.

Day 7Re-film and retest. Compare against today to confirm the change is sticking.
