“Attack Angle is determined by timing.” Attack Angle is probably the most misunderstood concept among young hitters. Consistently having the same Attack Angle for every swing regardless of pitch type = swinging. Clustering Attack Angles vs FBs & OS = hitting.

Fernando Tatis Jr is hitting .242 with a 3.5° average launch angle and a career-low 20% pull rate. Everyone has ideas and analysis on how to fix Fernando Tatis Jr’s swing. It’s pretty awful and I can’t take anymore of this, I have to say something because I haven’t seen a single person give the right answer. I’ve seen multiple people talk about timing mechanisms like toe tap, stride, and leg lift in his swing mechanics that have absolutely nothing to do with his problem. That reverting to past timing mechanisms would somehow help him. THEY ARE ALL WRONG Because they’re all looking in the wrong place. This isn’t a stride problem or timing problem. It’s a tilt problem. Stride, leg lift, and toe tap are timing mechanisms. They control WHEN the hips fire not HOW the bat moves through the zone. A hitter with a Sosa leg kick and a no-stride Ichiro stance can produce identical launch angles.Timing has no lever that touches the bat at contact. What actually sets launch angle is attack angle or the vertical direction the bat is traveling at the moment it meets the ball. Swing up through the zone = ball lifts Swing flat = grounders Swing down = choppers Attack angle is the only mechanical input that matters for elevation and attack angle isn’t random. It’s a direct output of shoulder tilt. When the trail shoulder drops below the lead shoulder at contact, the entire swing axis tilts. The bat is now forced to travel upward through the zone. More tilt > steeper attack angle > higher launch angle. Period. Tatis’s attack angle tells the entire story: 2023: +12° attack angle, +1° pull-side direction/25 HRs 2024 : +10° attack angle. -2° oppo direction 21HRs in 104 games 2025: +8° attack angle, 0° direction/25 HRs, healthy 2026: +5° attack angle, −5° oppo direction His swing has flattened AND drifted away from his pull side. Both are tilt collapse. That −5° oppo attack direction is the giveaway. When you lose tilt, your bat doesn’t just flatten it also gets steered toward the opposite field, because a level swing naturally pushes the barrel away from your pull side. He’s not late. He’s not under-striding. His axis collapsed Over the last few years and it’s worse than ever this year. This explains the 20% pull air rate too. Pulling the ball in the air requires positive attack angle AND a contact point out front. (Ramon Laureanos 2025 attack Angle was +14) If you tinker with timing on a flat swing, an earlier contact point just produces a pull-side grounder. The direction changes. The launch angle does not. Let me break it down for you: Stride > Weight Shift > Hip Rotation >TILT > ATTACK ANGLE > BAT PATH > Contact > Launch Angle Stride is four steps upstream. Tilt is the gate. Attack angle is the output that actually moves the ball. So now we know what’s wrong, how do we fix him? Souza and the Padres staff need to focus on the following; 1.Restore 8–12° rear-high shoulder tilt 2.Get attack angle back to +10° to +12° with neutral or +1° pull direction 3.THEN evaluate timing tweaks 4. If someone is telling him to flatten out his swing or to let the ball travel more PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. That doesn’t work for him You cannot time your way to elevation. Fix the tilt. Attack angle returns. Pull air follows. Please watch the video to see how his swing has gotten worse and flatter. We only have bat path data starting in 2023

Corbin Carroll led MLB in ideal attack angle with 68.4% in 2025. That's the % of swings with an attack angle between 5 and 20 degrees (optimal for line drives and hard contact). Not to be confused with launch angle, which is the angle the ball takes off the bat. The whole "round ball, round bat" concept makes that tougher to control. Data and visuals from Baseball Savant/MLB:

He came in with a long sweeping shift then swing swing. First session: All tee work. Learning to swing. Hand pivot. Rear leg pivot. Stretch. Wall Drill. Command Drill. Flips. Mixed speed flips. Second session: Propeller tee. Propeller flips. Propeller Machine. Hack Attack with bat. Ready at release Third session: Bat/Tee warmup. No stride hack attack. Stride hack attack. Fastball/changeup hack attack Fourth session: Bat/tee warmup. Flips. Mixed speed flips. Hack attack. Lots of fastball/changeup. He could not square balls the first hack attack session. Swing and miss. Flares This video shows his delight after finding launch quickness.

Smash Factor Balls are great for training bat speed because they allow for high-intensity swings without punishment for mishits. But that bat speed has to carry over into hitting baseballs. Bat Speed Derby with both types of balls using Blast Motion for a tight feedback loop.

Jacob Wilson has the 3rd slowest bat speed in MLB, a ground ball rate near 60% and a super low attack angle. And yet—he hit two home runs in one game against the Dodgers. What does that say about his skill set? 🤔

MLB's Lowest Attack Angle: 1° No qualified MLB hitters swing down currently Hitter's will have swings where they swing down, depending on timing, pitch location and other factors but no MLB hitters swing down on average Is there a time & place to feel like you swing down? Yes, but majority of hitters shouldn't be training their swing to be a negative attack angle

The Data Behind the Double. In a 3-2, 2 out, game deciding moment, Trace Mazon delivered a 2 RBI double that ended up winning the game. Similar pitches in that location end in a whiff or foul ball on 82% of swings. Trace flattened out his vertical attack angle and bat angle (VBA) to get on plane, producing true spin at a 1:26 axis, with near 100% efficiency, and just 1024 RPM off the bat. This allows for true ball flight down the line, allowing the ball to stay true with carry, not slicing towards foul territory.

What’s driving Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 23 homers? A steep, launching bat path: - 15° attack angle (vs. 10° avg) - 35° bat tilt (vs. 32° avg) - 85th percentile barrel rate - 55th percentile bat speed He’s MLB’s best defender, one of its fastest runners—and swings like a slugger.
