James , By your post it seems your direct question would be what changes between practice and game situations? Watch his mechanics, can you video his practice and game approach to hitting? Ive also found this difference. A number of issues could be going on. To me your post implies he's a good practice hitter but in games he struggles. Other than mechanic issues it could be that hitting is what Ted Wiiliams said about hitting being not only physical but mental.
