> Hi i'm 14 and I play on a travel team. I usually bat 3rd 4th or 5th in the lineup. Due to this, I receive more curveballs. I am a sucker for the low curveballs. The ones that start about mid chest to belt high and then break down to the dirt/feet. Any comments/suggestions that would help this issue would be appreciated.

Ok listen closely. I know it´s a habit you are doing so stop doing it. Eliminate the curveball until you get two strikes and get a fastball early in the count and you will never have that problem. So your problem is that you have a bad approach. You need to sit dead red fastball and if you get a hanger down over the plate bang it. Go up there looking to get a fastabll. At that age anyways kids struggle throwing strikes so why not get something hard and hit it.
