Hello,
> My 10 yo son hits the ball pretty hard most of the time. When he does all of his shots go to right field. It seem as if the barrel of the bat can not keep up w/ his torso and his hands.
> What can I do? He is right handed by the way

In my humble opinion I wouldn't change a thing. Let him continue to hit opposite field. The swing needed to hit opposite field is a very good swing to learn. Teach him to drive the ball the other way. As he matures and becomes stronger he'll learn to pull the ball. I'd rather have this problem (if it is a problem) than have a pull hitter who can't go the other way
