softball players and coaches please help! i swing under the ball?

today i had two games and i struck out 4 times >:(. usually i get line drives but i havent been playing for a while.

so my dad took videos of me batting and i viewed them in slow motion and im swinging under the ball. but other then that i have pretty good form. i think i might be closing my eyes when i swing but im not sure. you know? like i might blink for a milisecond.


PLEASE HELP!
 
A bunt would be perfact for you. My coach calls it the golfing swing, or the dip
to prevent that it depends if your right or left handed, if your right, you want to make your back foot "squish the bug" and not as far as a gofing swin would. try choaking up on the bat alittle, straited your rightor left arm and start out slow. (im in seinors softball) ( 14yrs old) Another thing, try NOT to blink, lol, the helmit cage WILL portect you undoubtuvle <--? If you get hit, no prob, its a dead ball and you get your base... Also if you can afford the ball on a stick i would get one to practice. (it works amazingly) Hope this helps, (vote :))
 
I think I hold the record for strikeouts in a season. The only way to fix it is practice, practice, practice. I had a friend and we spent hours a day pitching to each other and it helped greatly. If you have someone you know that loves to play as much as you, take advantage of your enjoyment and play frequently. If you're unable to find someone to pitch to you, even the pros use tees to put a ball on and hit. It seems tedious because it is, but it works.
