Any suggestions on how to correct a long swing?

Hey Art
While viewing baseball's most succesful hitters, I noticed that none of them needed to wrap the bat in order to generate batspeed. If you do wrap, you most notice it is not necessary for great batspeed. Usually people who wrap the bat around their heads are primarily bottom hand torque hitters with a long swing, Hope this helps you.
