  3. play bazaar The bat angle is important in baseball. The bat needs to be about 45-degree angle with the knob of that bat pointing towards the opposite batter's box. All proper swings start here, regardless of their starting position. This is because the bat is in the pitched ball's plane. Unnecessary movements are avoided during swings by using this starting bat angle.. satta king
