My 9 year old had always been a solid contact hitter until he started facing kid pitch in the Fall. He has a good level swing and hits very well at the batting cage, soft toss and off the tee. When facing kid pitch he always seems to be swinging a little late and not hitting the ball at all. Confidence is not an issue with him, it just seems like a timing thing. He easily hits 40 MPH pitching at the batting cage which is significantly faster then the pitches he see's from kids. He seems to be pressing too hard at the plate. Any ideas on what to do? Unfortunatly, he is a bit hard-headed when it comes to making swing adjustments. Thanks...
