Here is an example by fangraphs prospect Analyst longenhagen

 

 "Ryon Healy has a .238/.265/.413 slash line in the bigs so far. That’s probably what I should expect from him going forward, yeah? Some pop but no discipline and not great contact skills?

Eric A Longenhagen: Maybe not that exact line, but yes the overall tool distribution you describe is what I expect. Healy’s swing is grooved, not a lot of bat control. Big league arms will pick up on that.

I've heard the phrase used in a couple different contexts...

One is consistent mechanics and barreling the ball consistently.  The other is a tendency to take the same swing on a similar path regardless of pitch location and type, thus not getting the barrel to the ball consistently.  So, same phrase used with almost opposite results, one a very good thing and the other very bad, depending on intention of use.
