Hi Jack,

I'm trying to create a graphic which shows how the phrase "match the plane of the bat to the plane of the pitch" can cause confusion in the mind of the reader or a hitter.

My question is: If you are playing a game of catch with someone and they throw a baseball to you -- and for sake of the discussion we will say it's a fastball and gravity has no effect on it -- what is the "plane" of the pitch?
