Pitching/hitting is a battle of wills between the hitter and the pitcher.
At the top , a pitcher is trying to make you swing at pitches you don't want to hit. The really good hitters don't try to hit pitches that they don't like--they foul them off.
What my DD would do is give you outside pitches that you can't hit to try to get you to go fishing and bust your hands on the inside for strikes. But, if you can foul off the inside pitches enough, my DD will sooner or later put something on the outside part of the plate for you to hit. You have to be patient and you have to foul off the inside stuff. Even if you make outs 2 of 3 times, and then you will be playing in the CWS in a couple of years.
