Most likely driver: timing issue — late to the ball (34% confidence).Mechanical flag: contact depth vs plate +2.5".
Edge breakdown
Steep attack angle without elite bat speed — lift-first approach that depends on timing.
The swing
Percentiles vs all tracked hitters. Attack angle/direction and tilt are swing-weighted averages across batting sides. Swing type from editable rules — first match wins.

What this can't see: Joint kinetics, hip-shoulder separation, and kinematic sequencing (Hawkeye/KinaTrax, team-internal — never estimated here). Stance angle and foot separation (Savant visuals only, no export). Release extension (column exported empty; needs pitch-level ingest).
