I've seen it used lately. Coach had back tee a little higher than front tee. Think it was to stop batter from having an upercut swing. Wouldn't this cause them to cut/swing down on get to ball on front tee?

yes it would. it's a horrible idea (I used to do it in the 90's). there are a lot of good things you can do with tees, but that's not one of them.
Generally used by Aggie football coaches to get their players used to the idea of going up against "those guys with T-T on their shirts"
I think that is the wrong use of the drill. Instead of swinging over the back tee and down on the ball (generally considered bad), the player should swing inside the back tee and develop the inside path to the ball (generally considered good).
