You really need video. At that age especially it could be any of a million things. Maybe he is early and by the time he hits it the bat is above center.of the ball... maybe he is swinging down on the ball. Maybe he has a hard time adjusting from one pitcher to another - the slower pitchers at 10 even their fastballs look like curve balls and he might be over the top of them. And way more possibilities. Without video all anyone can do is guess.
