- Typical HAA values range between -3 degrees (a very sharp angle into the plate) and +0.5 degrees (a fairly straight trajectory into the zone) for Right Handed Pitchers (flip the signs of those numbers for Lefties), but vary based on the pitch type which I will get into later. Most pitches enter the zone moving away from a Right Handed Hitter.

Dec 22, 2022 · Horizontal break (HB) is pretty easy to wrap your head around. If it has negative 10 HB, the ball moves 10 inches to the left.

Dec 1, 2022 · Unlike VAA, horizontal attack angle (HAA) is something that is talked about less and fewer people are probably familiar with what this is. HAA describes the angle between the resultant velocity vector of the sweet spot of the bat and an imaginary line between home and the mound (figure 7).
