Hi there,

My son is 13 and bats right-handed. He has been told that his left shoulder is coming through too soon and he is losing some power; also making it hard for him to hit to right field and to pick up low-outside pitches. Any ideas for how I can help him improve his timing and coordinate hips/shoulders/hands to deliver all of that energy at ball contact instead of spending it too soon? He seems like he's rotating his shoulders too soon...

Thanks!
