Uppercut the Breaking Ball like Wiffle Ball

The biggest advantage I don't see Amateur hitters exposing is the get my over breaking ball that is thrown consistently throughout the amateur game. The reason pitchers are comfortable with this pitch is that hitters take it because it initially looks too high to be a "good pitch to hit" so they give up on it. A lot of the time it crosses at your neck but amateur umpires call balls/strikes based off the height and location of the pitch when the catcher catches it. That amateur brutal get me over curve ball most of the time crosses home plate above your chest but then gravity makes it drop down to where the catcher catches it in the "strike zone" Amateur umpires do not call balls and strikes based on the pro white home plate. They give at least 6 inches off the plate both sides. The only way the amateur blind umpires can't expand the strike zone is down. If the amateur gravity ball, I mean fastball bounces before the catcher, he can't call it a strike even though the pitch crossed home plate at your knees. Lay off the balls down, thats the pitchers comfort zone but its not a strike, almost all of the amateur thumpers don't throw hard enough to throw a fastball that crosses home plate at your knees that the catcher can present to the umpire as a strikes, gravity brings their gravity ball down out of the strike zone before the catcher catches it. Make the pitcher do his job, his job is not to throw the ball to home plate, his job is to throw the ball to the catcher. When you come out to hit, stand at the back of the box even if the pitcher throws 75mph because then the catcher has to move back which makes the pitcher have to throw it farther. Also, when you are in the box look to see how far back the catcher is because that determines the strike zone. When you take a pitch follow it all the way into the catchers glove so you can figure out what are balls/strikes and where those pitches crossed home plate compared to where the catcher catches it. These Pictures below are of a no doubter Donaldson hit this summer, almost all Amateur hitters would take this pitch because it was initially "too high" but the MVP makes the pitcher do his job which is to throw the ball to the catcher. Another self talk I like is, "Don't go try to make it happen, let the game come to you." Because the breaking ball has way more downward ball flight than a heater you have to use gravity and allow the ball to come down into the hitting zone and then uppercut the shit out of the barrel turn and try to be accurate with your barrel. If you do this right the pitcher needs a new ball from the umpire. :)
