What is Attack Angle? Hitting Tips from Coach Lucas Cook

The video tutorial explains the concept of attack angle in baseball hitting. It defines attack angle as the angle at which the bat barrel enters and moves through the hitting zone relative to the ground. The ideal attack angle is slightly uphill, around 6 to 10 degrees, to align with the pitch plane. The tutorial demonstrates this using a piece of wood and discusses the consequences of having different attack angles, emphasizing the importance of matching the bat's angle with the pitch angle for effective hitting.
