How do I get more air under my hits?

Joey asked: I hit pretty well and have a high average, but 90% of my hits are singles.
Definition of a quality at bat: 1. See the ball early. 2. Track it all the way to the hitting zone. 3. Put a good swing on it. 4. Hit it hard somewhere. What happens next is beyond the realm of your control. Whether or not you find a gap is more about the location of the pitch that you hit and where you make contact with that pitch, such as middle in, middle out, inside, outside, etc. If you go to the following link, there is a quote from Ted Williams, under the Tips From The Dugout section of this page, that says a lot about being a consistent hitter. He was the last player to hit.400 in MLB, did that in 1941. In that same season, Joe DiMaggio had his record, 56 game hitting streak. Good luck as you go into next spring. High School baseball is a great experience, which will leave you with a lot of great memories. Keep hitting those line drives and ground balls. You can't go wrong as long as you are hitting the ball hard. Yours in baseball, Rick
