middle schooler hitting problem

Posted by: ernest roy (prd530@msn.com) on Mon May 7 04:59:01 2007

I have an 8th grade player who was crushing the ball in practice. He had a 330' homer his first game but since then has been steadily going downhill. Main problem is he's now hitting routine pop flys for easy out to the center fielder-not line driving anymore at all. I'm not a coach, just a dad who is trying to help a frustrtaed son. What are some common mistakes I need to look for to help him out? Thanks
Ernie
