In today’s game of spin and high zone fastball an uppercut swing gives you minimal chance and results in top spin grounders and swing & miss. -

Actually it will. As you noted. MLB pitch plane is like 2-3 degrees. The more your attack angle increased the more you’re hitting a top spin tennis return.
