Hi,

6 years old is to young IMO. The swing is very child like. It has bat lag/drag, hip slide. The main issue is leadig with the elbow and some hip slide.

Like I said it is very child like, typical LL swing for many hitters/kids.

Try to change the setup for starters. The back forearm should be level with the ground, not pointing up in the air. The hands should at the shoulder and not above. Look at any ML at launch and you will see the proper setup.

This might some with the elbow leading. It more then likely will ot solve the problem, but it gives you a place to start.

To solve the problem you need to work on connection, aviod bat lag/drag and work on the swing being powered by rotation. His rotation doesn't look all that bad for 6.

Work on BHT, leadarm, and connection to rotation.
