GHOST AI×FIRST BASEMEN

Ghost BSBL for First Basemen

First base is a power position. Attack angle, elbow extension, and hip-shoulder separation determine whether you're carrying the lineup or leaving runs on the field.

Power hitters who underperform usually have one of two problems: a negative attack angle that turns home runs into line drives, or elbow collapse that kills barrel extension. Ghost catches both.

What Ghost watches
on your film.

Power comes from attack angle and extension together. Elbow connection is where first basemen most often lose barrel access — Ghost measures it at contact.

Attack Angle

Up-swing at contact

Derived from hand-path velocity at exact moment of contact. Positive = up-swing. The difference between grounders and line drives.

+8–12°
PRO TARGET
Elbow Connection

Lead arm slot at contact

Controls bat path. Collapsing here flattens the plane and converts line drives into rollover grounders.

90–110°
AT CONTACT
Hip-Shoulder Separation

Coil angle at stride

Measured in the horizontal 3D plane using world coordinates. Rotational power stored before hip release.

40–50°

QUESTIONS

Answered.

What's costing me home run distance at first base?

Usually one of three things: negative attack angle, elbow collapse at contact, or incomplete hip-shoulder separation. Most power hitters fix one and ignore the others. Ghost grades all three from the same submission so you can stack the corrections.

What do I need to film my swing?

Any smartphone. Side angle, full body in frame — head to feet. 10–30 seconds. Slow-motion helps but isn't required. Ghost gives you exact framing instructions when you sign up.

What benchmark does Ghost use?

Every pillar is graded against pro-level mechanics — the same standard scouts and coaches use to evaluate hitters. You see exactly where your gap is and which fix closes it the most. The goal isn't to shame your numbers, it's to show you the shortest path to the next level.

Who reviews my film on a breakdown?

Kaden Polcovich — 3rd round pick, #78 overall, Seattle Mariners 2B of the Year 2022 — or Kevin Polcovich — Pittsburgh Pirates infielder, 14 years in pro ball. Your film, on camera, fully broken down within 24 hours.

Is there a subscription or contract?

Breakdowns are one-time purchases — no subscription, no recurring charge. Ghost AI analysis is a month-to-month subscription you can cancel anytime. Breakdowns are standalone: buy one, get it back in 24 hours, done.
