Last 10-15’ is what the angle should match. Not the entire flight!!

Smart hitters focus on what the ball looks like in the last 10 feet. 👀⚾️

In this video, I’m training a young hitter using a machine set low to the ground. Yes—the front side of the flight looks loopier.

But that’s not the point.

What matters is the final approach angle near contact — the same window the hitter actually has to solve in a game.

Hitters don’t swing at the first 50 feet.
They react to the last 10.

So if you’re using a machine:

👉 Stop obsessing over the delivery look
👉 Start checking the approach near the plate
👉 Match what the hitter really sees at contact

Train the decision window. Not the cosmetics.

Level | Avg Fastball Velocity | Estimated Downward Angle at Plate | Notes

Major League Baseball | 92–95 mph | -4.5° to -5.5° | Flattest due to velocity + extension

NCAA Baseball | 85–91 mph | -5.0° to -6.0° | Good arms can approach pro range

High School Baseball | 75–85 mph | -5.8° to -7.0° | Wider variance depending on age and skill

Youth Baseball | 50–70 mph | -7.0° to -10.0° | Much steeper due to slower velocity

Train with an expert, not an influencer.
