My 7 yr. old son who plays machine pitch has recently developed the habit of bending or dipping his knees as the ball approaches and he takes his swing. This has resulted in a lot of infield pop ups. In his current stance, his knees are slightly bent and his legs are about shoulder width apart. I've thought about widening his stance and a few other things but wanted to get advice first.

I'm not sure where he got this from but any advice, drills, or tips to help him break this habit would be appreciated.
