Can someone take a look and comment at the swing. Is there something in there that is taking power away from him? He seems to lean back a little when he swings and I don't think his weight is really transferring forward as much as it should. That being said, this swing was a no doubter and I'm wondering if he put it all together here or if there is still something holding him back?
For the most part, I think his swing looks pretty good for a kid his age. But, as others have pointed out, I see a rather long swing and lack for follow through with hips and shoulders as being the primary flaw. IMHO, this is largely due to lack of strength that's common for this age group; and I feel this is what we commonly see with a young player uses a bat that might be just a little too weighty for him. Working on shorting up the swing and as he matures, his swing should start to look better and better.
