As for the hip rotation...ask him to pretend he has a big shiny belt buckle and he has to show the pitcher his belt buckle...this should get him to turn his hips.

 

I can only assume we have not reached the level yet where soft toss is EVER a bad idea....but since I am a 12u and you have a 10u I vote for soft toss.  If you have an L screen to protect you do it from the front, if not just sit on a bucket on the side of him and toss it to him that way. 

 

My son swears that by tossing a wiffle ball up himself and hitting it with the wiffle ball bat it helps him track the ball better when he is at the real plate.

 

Good luck!
