But because there's no actual definition, in practice a check swing is whatever the home plate umpire says it is.AnswerIt's extremely subjective; each umpire has his own guidelines. Some will call a strike if the wrists break, others will call a strike depending on how far the bat goes, and still others go by whatever they judge the batter's intent to have been.
