"I'm to anxious at the plate and i hit everything hard, but some times i strike out cause i swing to hard.In this leauge the ball comes very slow.I need some help about how to hit the ball far and make coontact every time."

Ok, why are you anxious? If you're scared of getting hit, have somebody throw balls close to you until you aren't. If you just a nervous person, get a calming routine. LIke a prebat routine, a breathing thing, anything.. get in a zone. and to hit the ball far, it depends. Can you? or do you push it? Depending on capability, adjust your stance, swing, etc....

Keep your eye on the ball, and watch it hit the bat. Also, Hold the bat in your fingers, and very loosely.

You have to find your swing, and only swing at your pitch unless you have two on you. Then just try and push the ball a bit into the outfield opposite field. Also, swinging hard will only pull your head off the ball and lead to low confidence, more anxiety, and more K's
