This may have been discussed before but I have just started my son on the rotational swing mechanics with a circular hand path which has already helped tremendously. He used to be extreme linear with almost a chop on the top of the ball and was doing well with that but now the line drives are hard as thunder when he hits. My only problem I am having is understanding how to teach him to hit the high pitch when hes got two strikes on him . I dont see it in any of the pictures of pro swings....every pitch you see them hit in the paper and on the net is a belt high middle fastball or something belt high or below. How is it possible with these mechanics to hit the high pitch ??? Hope I do not sound argumenative but I just dont get it. I would think that to hit the high pitch you would have to use some linear mechanics a little. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks,
