My son is a high school player with a very strong upper body. His hands are very fast and he makes contact over 90% of the time. The problem I have seen in his swing is that the head of the bat is way behind his hands through the contact zone most of the time regardless of pitch location which leads to mostly ground ball outs. To compensate he has to hit the ball way out in front for the bat head to get through. What are the possible causes of this and are there any drills he can try?
