Has anyone ever had a coach or hitting instructor of any kind tell a kid not to keep his head down

Most good hitters keep their head still rather than have their head go down. It's just a matter of semantics. Maintaining good posture (Head alligned with spine) is more important than doing something you can't do...see the ball hit the bat. Having the head "down" is actually poor posture.

Of course, this is a matter of defintion in determining how much is "down".

Try this link...http://www.newyorkrangers.cz/mlb/images/pujols.jpg This is proper posture, and he's not looking down at home plate.
