for the last two years, i have had a big problem with popping out. Almost everytime i get up i pop out. The only time i hit line drives are when they are right down the line and most of the time they go foul. Also i have not been able to hit the ball hard to the opposite field if there is a connection. What is a possible flaw in my swing? Thank you

It's hard to say without more info, but here are some questions I have. Are you constantly swinging at pitches above the strike zone? Are you swinging late? Are you fully completing the inward turn? How high are you holding your hands? Are you having this problem just in games or BP too? - Tom Waz
