I have a very young varsity softball team, and I start four freshman on varsity who have only played fast pitch for 2 years.

We are making contact against solid pitching but a lot of grounds and weak balls, I don't know if its a matter of strength or technique.

Does anyone have suggestions on what to do, I have even video taped them and recordered their swings and they look good for the most part.

Should I have them do more push ups, and ab work to increase their bat speed? Any suggestions would be helpfull.

We have lost three games by score of 3-0, 4-0, and 2-1. Its driving me nuts, because the D has been good, and our pitching even better.
