When batting, the goal is to swing with a level bat path that is somewhat parallel to the ground. This promotes line drives and consistency in making solid contact with the baseball. A level path keeps the bat in the hitting zone for a longer period of time and can lead to more line drives and greater success.

If you’re not hitting level, then it’s possible you have an uppercut swing that starts low and finishes high. Another common bat path flaw hitters make occurs when their swing is on too much of a downward angle. These bring the baseball bat in and out of the hitting zone quickly and make it more difficult for batters to hit their target.
