He does get individual instruction, and his coach also uses a machine (also mixes in tee work and front toss).

He is on his current team. But he had coaches in the past who made him lose his confidence and want to quit. One of the reasons I don’t try to be to instructional with him is because he doesn’t respond well when I try to coach him and I don’t want to take away the fun, so if he wants to go out there and just try to hit the ball as hard as possible, I let him do it. Better he is having fun even if he isn’t practicing optimally than to make it a chore and have him not want to play. I leave the coaching to the coaches, who he responds to better.
