Not making solid contact

It is early in the season,maybe his timing is off just a little.

Obviously there is not a lot to go on. My son had a similar problem, we found he was striding too late and his foot was landing at the same time he was trying to make contact so he was off balance.

Once he started striding a bit earlier he started hitting the stuffing out of the ball.


Play every game as if it were your last

In my experience when a kid is not making good contact means he is overswinging. Taking too long of a swing. Shorten swing.
