There is no perfect baseball swing. It all depends on your batting style.
A lot of people here will blindly tell you to swing for the fences, but that's not how baseball games are won. It depends on your bat speed, how much power you have, and your eye.
I read a book by Tony Gwynn or Ted Williams, I forget, who suggested you try to hit the top half of a baseball to hit more line drives. Another source could suggest otherwise. A new generation of hitters today try pushing the ball to the opposite field, instead of pulling everything over the fence. There are many styles, and it will take more information to give you a right answer.

VOLBZ is retarded unless he's a 16 yr. old playing in little league.
Ted Williams had the best swing, or at least was the best hitter.
Career .344 average and walked almost 3 times as much as he struck out. He's also the last player to hit over .400 for a year (66 years ago).
"The Perfect Swing" is, however, what works best for you and gets you the most consistent contact.

This goes back a few years Danny Heep Played in the 80's for the Mets and a couple of other teams. Ted Williams said he had the sweetest swing in baseball.

Ken Griffey Jr. and Will Clark who played for the Giants and Cardinals had the most picture perfect swings I have seen. Frank Thomas and Barry Bonds Have great power strokes

people hate him, but Pete Rose had the most effective swing in baseball. He could hit for power when he needed to, but most often was in the lineup position to get on base, His swing was extremely versatile, and changed if he needed to pop a hit, or swing long. He had the ability to get realy compact when he needed to....

Tony Gwynn, Will Clark and Ken Griffey Jr.(Mariners not Reds) have the sweatest swings to ever play the game.

Im personally a fan of a short, compact swing with a lot of bat speed. This will lead to a ton of contact, and quite a few home runs as well.

uppercut but i swing for the fence

Usually, the best type of swing in a game is a Straight-Follow-Through. Good Luck in your games or practice! ♥
