Jack, since we live in the midwest our season has been over for about a month. Since that time I have been working with my 13yr.old son on the bag and focusing on tht and visualizing the chp. Yesterday we went live for the first time in the cage. The results were mixed at best ( way to many pop-ups ) He just didn't feel like he had the time to sweep the bat back on plane to contact. Does he need to start plt earlier ? The problem I've had with teaching plt to kids is they are not comfortable sweeping back without knowing where the pitch is going.
