Is Your Bat Path and Angle to the ball The PROBLEM...?
Tell me if this sounds familiar...
❌ Even though you swing down, the paths cross only at one particular point, yielding a spin resulting in a pop up or foul ball.
Swinging DOWN isn't the answer.
❌ Similarly, a path moving upward will cross the path of the ball resulting in an unwanted spin, Top Spin!
Swinging UP isn't the answer
❌Even swinging level, can create a timing issue to hit the ball exactly when the paths cross.
Swinging level is closer but sitll not the answer.
Weak ground balls, pop-ups, poor power output, or even worse, strike-outs are signs of a bat path problem.
Swinging the bat across the path of the ball will always be a problem and one that every hitter tries to avoid. Swinging on a path that matches the path of the ball gives us the best chance of hitting the ball through its center without unwanted excess spin.
At Hitting Design, I've created a skill development plan to help you remedy this issue. Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in all sports and establishing a good bat path that goes through the center of the ball is critical.
Some players naturally acquire a good path, but it is not too late if you did not, no matter what level you are currently playing at, establishing a bat path that goes through the path of the ball is the name of the game.
Here's how I will help you
Tell me if this sounds good...
✅Learn to use your rotation as the engine of your swing to be able to "deliver the barrel" on time.
✅ Learn to swing from a slotted position to establish a plane for a consistent bat path.
✅Learn to use your posture so you can swing on plane through the center of the ball on high and low pitches.
Teaching bat path requires you to teach the movement patterns that effect the angles of your bat as it approaches the path of the ball. The three main concepts are that effect your bat path are Rotation, Plane, and Posture.
Rotation is the engine of a swing. Just like the engine of a car, it doesn't always run full speed. We must learn to control our body as we rotate our bat to the ball.
The Plane of your swing can be established by your rotation if you put you bodies into a position to tap into centrifugal force and torque in our hands.
The Posture of our body, particularly our spine will dictate where our swing will be delivered and if we get it on path with the ball.
So if you want to learn how to approach the ball correctly with a proper angle, Bat Path Design explains and practices rotation, plane and posture in 12 lessons over 4 weeks to help you deliver the bat on the path of the ball.

@hittingdesign or @mikekinney32
Hey there! I'm Mike Kinney - a man of faith, lifelong baseball coach, and proud father of MLB first-round draft pick Cooper Kinney. Throughout my career coaching high school and college baseball, I've had the privilege of helping shape over 100 collegiate and professional players, including 5 top-rounds MLB draft picks. Now, I share my proven hitting techniques both in-person and online.
While I've worked with many talented players who've achieved great success, I'm equally passionate about helping every player who steps into my cage. Many of my students weren't destined for the big leagues, but they loved the game and gave it their all. These players, who needed fundamental skill development and steady improvement, have been the heart of my coaching career.
My approach has proven successful - I've led teams to 3 state championships not because every player was exceptional, but because we focused on developing solid fundamentals. My players learned proper bat paths, timing, and the strategic elements of baseball. This comprehensive approach helped create complete hitters who could contribute consistently to the team's success.
My passion extends beyond coaching elite prospects - I truly enjoy helping any player who wants to experience the incredible feeling of success on the baseball field, regardless of their starting point or ultimate goals.
Why this works better than anything else:
It's because we have all of this working together:
1. The Right Plan - go through a fundamental step by step process of swinging the bat on plane, and identify/correct any swing flaws along the way.
2. The Right Practice - practice at home with given drills building a progression of drills to address common issues in the swing. 3 lessons a week which build upon themselves.
3. The Right Feedback - I personally respond to every lesson with feedback to move you forward toward a professional swing. You will triple the amount of feedback you would have received with traditional lessons.
And when you mix a plan, purposeful practice, and feedback...
You can't help but grow.

A Few Case Studies

Context: Bat Path Design Course Participant
Background: Bode is a talented 13 year old catcher from Kansas City and works out with his dad. He has tried different off season methods to find way to improve his swing. He’s super consistent and very strong physically. He’s going to be so good!
Before: Bode was already a pretty advanced hitter, but struggled finding coaching that would help him identify where he had room to grow and give him drills he could do at home. He was ready to work, but he needed some guidance on what to work on.
After: Now he knows how to evaluate himself, he’s made tremendous progress, and is set up to play at an elite level because his movements are so dialed in. One of the biggest adjustments we made was working to improve his entry into the zone which allowed him to be on plane with more pitches. Keep your eyes out for this guy, he’s going to be a powerful force to deal with in the mid-west.
