Why do I miss so much contact in baseball and why is my back arm flaring taking over?

Missing contact in baseball often happens when the back arm takes over and flares out, making the swing club around the ball instead of hitting straight through it. This pulls the barrel off-plane, shortens your time in the zone, and causes weak contact, topped balls, or pulling off pitches. Fix it by keeping the back arm connected and driving through the ball with proper sequencing.

• Back arm flaring pulls barrel out early → clubs around, misses or weak topspin

• Connected swing keeps barrel on-plane longer → more time in zone, solid contact

• Focus on lead arm leading and back arm staying tight to hit through the ball
