My son is having a difficult time catching-up with pitches. He is swinging late at everything.

Tom-
There is no sure-fire answer without looking at a tape of the swing but the first place to look is at what is happening with the lower body. Is your son swinging with his arms or is he starting his swing with his legs/hip turn?
How old is he and what level/leagues does he play?
