I am one of the best batting cage hitters I've ever seen, but when I face a live pitcher, I hit more weak ground balls than anything else. Could this be because the ball is coming from a lower point at the cage? It seems that a "level" swing is different in a cage than it is against a pitcher. Perhaps I am learning bad habits by hitting line drives at a batting cage. Is there something I can do to correct this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
