opening up

My 12 yr old son opens up his front shoulder and the bat drags through the zone creating alot of fouls and not alot of power. I am not sure if he is getting his arms extended thru the zone and hitting out front. He looks to be trying to pull everything to left field. Any suggestions on him getting his hands out so he doesn't pull everything or does he need to no open his front shoulder and hips so soon.
