quick hands, but horrible swing

Posted by: Drew (areyes@tracylc.net) on Thu Apr 17 08:48:50 2008

I have a kid on my team with one of the most awkward swings I have ever seen. He also has extremely quick hands. When he does hit the ball, he pulls it foul, no matter how fast the pitch is. Our coaches have tried just about everything we can think of, but it is not working. This kid is tall and lanky, he holds his hands up high and takes a big stride. We have been DHing for him or making him bunt because he has lost confidence in himself at the plate.

Does anyone have any ideas?
