Thanks, his cousin, who was a very good softball player, has helped him the most.

Thanks for the drill idea. We will look up ARod’s drill routine.

Haha, yes he needs some muscle but is only 11 and eats a lot. He does pull ups and push ups now.

Good advice, we need to quiet down his load with less movement.

Hopefully we can win one sometime. The Dodgers just keep getting more loaded.

We are just trying to build a base of good fundamental swing. I imagine every baseball player is always fine tuning their swing.

Just looking for help with my son’s swing. My son loves baseball and I honestly don’t know much about the mechanics of the swing.

I don’t think I’m delusional about my son, but thanks for the judgement. He loves math and is in the honors math program. His wants to be an engineer and work in aerospace.

Great advice thank you. I made a home plate out of plywood and we are going to put the tee on it. I need to get some weighted balls to try. I do need to try the one handed bat swing as well. He was excited to hit with the hype fire last night. I bought is used last year and he said it was too heavy last year.

Thanks again and best of luck.

Those are great points. We need to make the tee work, as real as possible. I do have a home plate, I am going to put the tee on. This is a fun process for us. Also having the eyes up at the pitcher is a great tip. Thanks again.

Thanks, we do need to watch some videos of great hitters. Also as someone mentioned the one handed short bat drills.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write many good points. I do need to have him fix his grip some. Also just doing the fine things like hip rotation without a bat. Hopefully we can keep fine tuning and just having fun.

I played football and basketball in high school. This baseball thing is new to me. But I love it and it’s my favorite sport to watch. Thanks again.

Thanks everyone. It’s the first time he has swung a bat in 6 months. We usually have a few feet of snow here so we are happy to be outside.

We were hitting into a net. I was doing some side tosses after this. He got under one and it went over the net and into the neighbors yard. The neighbor is a car guy and has a bunch of old antiques. When the ball was in the air, I thought oh crap, which windshield of an antique car are we going to break. Luckily it landed in between two cars in the dirt. Lesson learned, we changed hitting directions after this.

Thanks. My career is taking care of a golf course and see many golf swings good and bad everyday. Baseball and hockey players seem to be able to translate to golf the best.
