I have heard from many coaches that balance is one of the most important things in hitting. Do any of yall know any drills to improve balance?

couple things to try, hit with your feet in tires (lessens your foot movement yet forces a wide stable base) or hit on boards (use a single plank, 2x6 about 5 feet long, 2x2 underneath).

The way to fix a hitter's balance is to improve their stance and posture.
In general, that means knees bent, feet spread apart. An extreme example of this is Albert Pujols.
In my experience, balance is only a problem with guys who are stiff-legged at the plate.
