My 10yo is in his 1st yr of Majors. In his 1st 2 games hard double two nice singles. Since then in the last 3 games 0 for 7 w/ 5 Ks. He looks great with the drills and in BP. However now at bat he gets no inward turn- seems to be to much arms-- does not open his hips--his arms seem to get around only after the pitch is past him.
(only in the game)

He does not swing at the low pitch but jumps all over the high one(swing and a miss).

He is frustrated. He was one of the best in his age group a yr ago and this is eating him up.

I don't want to say anything to him, Just try to be positve and hope he hits his way out.

Any suggestions?
