Hitting styles

What age?

check out Steve Springer's Quality At Bats website and learning materials.  If your son is hitting the ball hard he's doing his job.

Change the focus.  Don't look at batting average.  Hard hit balls will eventually find holes and fall.  Calculate is "average" based on how many hard hit balls he hit.  So the kid could go 3-3 with 2 hard hit line drives and a 40 hopper to the 2B.  Thus, he's "hitting" .667. 

Agreed.  We lost a game last week, had the tying run on 2nd base with 1 out.  Line Drive to the left fielder, Line Drive to the 2nd Baseman.  What am I going to say???  I have a kid that is hitting a .179 and he is in the lineup everyday.  He has a quality AB average of .525 and I tell him everyday, "Keep doing what you are doing, the hits will fall."  Sure enough he went 2-3 the last week with an RBI.  Changing a swing take something like 10,000 Reps.  If you believe the process is correct you have to be patient.

He is a senior this year.  Still unsigned but several local coaches still looking at him.  Probably adding some pressure to the situation. 

Is he hitting hard fly balls where the outfielders have to go back or just lazy flies were they can camp under forever? If he is hitting it hard I would not worry.

I would say 70%  hard catches/30 % the lazier type.  

It's funny.  In a vacuum, we all know well that a hard/squarely hit ball deep to the outfield (which is run down for an out) is a much better piece of hitting than a chopper between 1st and pitcher than results in an infield single.  But, sometimes some of us still prefer the weak single and the resulting impact on the commonly relied upon and viewed stats.
