> I have always been pretty disciplined at the plate. recently ive been swinging at pitches high and outta the zone. any reasons why and tips/drills to fix it.

your focus is mental I think or more practice seeing the ball,when I wanted to lay off the ball up,I use to say dont go up dont go up right up to release,but then I found by thinking belly down,my focus went down where I wanted not up where I wanted to lay offpractice just looking at balls pitched in practice or on a machine and follow them in to catcher,see how they look out of the hand and trajectory,learn to instantly see if it is high or not and start picking up spin,since the curve will break down for a strike.
