[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 885579, member: 3164"] Stays on plane, in this context, means that it doesn't sink from gravitational forces as much as would be expected. It usually means that it has good spin resulting in more "lift" if you will. The result of staying on plane is that it gives the pitch the illusion to the hitter that it is rising, causing a lot of swing and misses from swinging under the pitch, and also causing the hitter to chase pitches out of the strike zone high more than normal. A prime example of this at the MLB level is the comparison between Spencer Strider's fastball and Hunter Greene's fastball. Greene actually throws harder (or did before his shoulder issues of the last few weeks), but hitters time his and are able to mash against it, whereas Strider usually gets a lot of swing and misses.
