I'm a 2015 OF, 5'9", 165 lbs. Below I will link a video I made of some swings I took the other day and I am looking for some feedback as to what I can do better. Thanks in advance for the replies!

Turn the barrel rather than trying to take the knob to the ball. You're not that far away from having a good swing.
Agree with the LF above, plus...
Your back elbow never makes it down to your hip. This makes your front arm push away from your body later.
Place the tee higher. Why?
Coaches, what do hear from the sound of the bat hitting the ball.

Your doing a lot very well,keep swinging! Posting on this site and asking for advice could be dangerous though. You may or may not get the best advice for you. Make sure if you don't understand the advice, don't guess, take what you get from posters and let someone who works with your swing and you trust know what you learned from the posts and they could help you implement it.
My input is pretty simple...keep your barrel over your head as your front foot hits...not as horizontal Compare yours to great MLB hitters and you will see a difference.
I agree that your bat is laying too flat right before attacking the ball. As said above, watch the MLB and college guys, and their bat is almost pointing straight to the sky or vertical, prior to swinging. Your bat is very horizontal. I have seen this contribute to a little casting and becoming overly rotational with your swing bath. I would guess you struggle going opposite field? Otherwise, lots of good stuff going on. Check out bat position just prior to swing. Watch the guys at the higher levels. Keep working!
