Hi Chris

First of all, that playing baseball is a lot of fun. Encourage him to swing the bat not push it. Casting will not be a problem if he gets plenty of hip and shoulder rotation. The more swings he takes without instruction the better. Make it a fun time with simulated games. Allow him to succeed.
