I think it needs more impact. It looks kinda slow and the hit at the end looks soft, like someone who would use it to cut something. Also I think you should make it like swing it in the back then hit and also have it go much faster. Is just my idea though. The rest is pretty decent and is actually good. Good luck!

You’re using an R15 rig, so I suggest you bend the player’s limbs a bit more to match up to what @TheTunet said. Swinging a bat shouldn’t be like chopping food with a knife, it should have a wind-up over the shoulder and a fast swing. Good luck!

In my opinion it makes the dude looks kinda weak lol. He has to use two hands to wield a bat.
Have you ever swung a bat? Maybe I am weak but especially with solid metal bats they are heavy
Bats are usually used with two hands and two hands are used to make a harder blow.
It needs a bit more KAPOW, like make it slant the bat behind his back and jump when he hits the opponent or anything!
Make it have the form that a real baseball player has, he looks like he tripped while holding a bat. The animation should have a windup and a solid swing. Maybe watching a couple videos of MLB players might help.
Attack Animation Shouldn’t Be Looped also it must to be Fast

looks very stiff, Id maybe make the torso have more of a turn and maybe put some work into the legs
Agreed. It does look a bit soft, and the most important part about swinging a bat is the impact and power in the swing.
if u werent using a reference for that animation, i highly suggest that you use references to help with the feel and look of ur animation. you can even use urself as reference by swinging an object like a bat.
the swing should be more higher up to his body, and the arms should move independently from the body, since by looking at it, the right arm seems too attached to the torso. i think by the looks of it it could be better as a one arm swing since using two arms has a bit more anticipation and power to it, and with a fast animation like that it would look odd.
The legs look frozen…maybe move them like bend them and make the hand go from the back of his head to the direction like a baseball: https://youtu.be/dQq8Y3qmyRM it will look better.
Hope it helps 
It doesn’t look like he’s swinging the bat. It looks like he’s waving it in front of his face. Sorry about the fund guy tho
