My son is 10 yrs old and has real quick batspeed according to coaches, when they hit into a net with the coaches soft tossing he kills the ball, coach says he "Explodes" on the ball. When they take batting practice, after about 6-12 good pitches he hits the ball hard, and with alot of bat extension. The problem comes in real games he still is able to hit and hit hard but he does not hit the ball out front, the coach says if he ever gets his timing down he's going to crush the ball. Coach says he is fast enough & strong enough to still get a good hit when the ball gets deep into the batters box. Does anybody have any suggestions on "Timing" so that I can work with him through the off season. Does all this sound like the coach knows something about hitting, in our league he always seems to have good teams.
