I played baseball in high school and my buddies that are actually decent tell me I need to break out of the “baseball swing” I am approaching a golf ball with.
Actually, this can be a strength. Swing speed is important. You probably need to read some about the “fundamentals”: aim, grip, stance, posture, ball position.
Swinging a bat fast requires “loose wrists.” You can use your baseball background for golf. Swinging is also like throwing a baseball in that you use your whole body from the ground up.
I wish I have played baseball. I played football, basketball, and golf.

OK. Y'all are over complicating the transition from baseball to golf. To transition, you only need two things:
1- finish on your front side, you should be able to wiggle your back foot after the swing.
2- swing hard and roll over a ground ball into the 6-hole.
Baseball is palm up, palm down at contact. If you do that in golf, you'll hit a huge slice. Rolling over like you would to hit a ball through the 6-hole will get your hands in the right position.
To get the ball in the air, hit down on the ball, then the ground. That will give you back spin and throw the ball in the air
