Well I have asked a lot of people about this but no one seems to have a good answer for me. I have always been a good hitter. My problem for this year is plate discipline. I will swing at a bad pitch and then let the sweet pitch go by. I also have trouble knowing if a low ball is gonna be over the plate or not and I end up swinging at balls in the dirt. As far as mechanics go I have been told by every coach up to the college level that I have a beautiful swing and a fast bat. Mechanics is not my problem it is my plate discipline. Thanks. Someone please help me with my problem.
