>>> There really is no particular pitch that the lazy fly balls tend to occur on. They occured way more often in the beginning of the season when I was really struggling. I couldn't find a way to get the barrell of the bat to the hitting zone for the longest time. Yes, they do slice for the most part. These are pitches that I see well, recognize pitch and location, but obviously don't put a good stroke on them. In golf terms, I would say they fade more than they slice. It's not like it starts in right center and ends up on the line and I don't "feel" like I'm cutting the ball. It feels relatively solid but the results are excruciatingly painful. Like I said, about 25-30x during a season. I wish I had footage of one but I don't. Anyway, I hope that is a little more detailed. <<<

Hi Andy

Hank Aaron and other good hitters have a vertical rotational axis and still have a slight uppercut at contact. Your body lean may have an influence on your swing plane angle. However, the direction of force your hands apply to the bat at initiation has a much greater influence.
