Help with HS Freshman Swing

ctandc500+ posts

I've got a couple of questions..

First off to the original poster...throw the ball BELOW his belt and tell him to stop hitting balls at his eye level :P

As for several posters saying that because of the size "he'll never be a power hitter"..

WHY NOT?

I've got 12 year olds that are smaller than him and can hit the ball 300ft. Why does size dictate power at the plate?

I won't get into all the small arguments on this and that...

But my theory is that I'm only going to use the best MLB swings to emulate. And saying you can't teach those mechanics to younger kids is bull ****. Sure..not all kids will get it at 10 or 11..but if they are still playing by 13-14 they can "get it" then if they have someone break it down and explain / show it to 'em.

My son is 5'4" 125lbs or so... he regularly hits the ball over 250FT....why can't a 5'5" kid do the same?
