I know one level it didn't help. Years ago, when the kid was 12, and we went to Cooperstown. Remember those short fences? Turned our entire team into a bunch of upper-cutting fools. Of course, that might have been the weak coaching (guilty). Seemed like the more I told them to forget about the fences, the more their little 12-year old brains were obsessed with them.
