This year I have been hitting the ball hard but I have been topping the ball & not getting much lift on the ball. If I didnt hit the ball hard I would have had alot of outs - but by hitting hard the defense have made alot of mistakes. I hit a ball in my last game that hit just left of the mound that skipped all the way to the centerfield fence. What does everybody think I am doing wrong. I know hitting the ball hard & down is good baseball but I would like to lift the ball a little to help my chances of getting on base & moving runners.
