I've got a 7YO who is a pretty good developing athlete (his mom played Div II basketball and his dad football).

All that to say he has the tools but he is moving up from easy coach pitch to machine pitch. He is swinging really late and "unaggressive" at the plate.

One thing I noticed is that he is not rotating his hips. He is also very late on his swing. I feel that if I can get that "internal switch" turned on that he'll be one of my better hitters.

I realize that practice and timing will come, but...

Do any of you have any good ideas for speeding up his swing so that he'll start making contact and building confidence?
