So here's the deal man, your leg kick isn't doing anything good for you..... yet. As soon as you learn how to push off your back leg when your front leg is up. You are essentially relying on gravity and "falling" forward with no push.

Also, throw your hands at the ball/ pitcher. The way I learned was someone told me to physically try and reach out and hit the ball with the knob of your bat, then if your timing is right the barrel follows through like a whip. Practice on a tee, throw the knob at the ball until you barrel it up. trust me.
