front foot diving

Posted by: scot (sataylor54@yahoo.com) on Wed Apr 21 19:10:19 2010

My son tends to dive in towards the plate with his front foot. I see this as causing 2 problems. The first is it carries his momentum towards the plate not the pitcher. I think it keeps him from being able to get hip rotation and transfer of weight. The second is hitting the inside pitch but I think that is due to the diving. Are these assessments accurate? What can be done to solve this problem. He hits about .500 at the varsity level.
