I have read the Rotational vs. Linear arguements on this site and I see that my 13 year old son may benefit from using the Rotational approach. He cannot pull an inside pitch as a result of slow bat speed.

I think it might be hard for him to make this change by me just telling him you have to stop bringing your hands forward and you should pull your bottom hand and push with your top hand. Any ideas on drills or a better way to explain this to him.

Read the "Fence Drill and Inertia" article in the research section. It may help. Or try setting up a tee so he has to hit inside pitches and go through the mechanics slowly first, and see how he does.
