My 10 year old hits everything opposite field. We have been working on rotational mechanics so at least he is hitting it hard the other way. Slow pitch, fast pitch, inside or outside it always goes the other way. He has some issues with eyesight and that is my guess. I throw from about 25-30 feet in the cages and he can hit it anywhere going with the pitch. It only happens at live pitching and outside the cages. I am getting his eyes checked again, he just loads and starts late. Any ideas about just picking up the ball earlier or a better hitting plan? I don't want him to pull everything, but sheesh something down the 3rd base line would be nice.........
