fortheloveofsoftball12: find a known/highly successful hitting coach you are comfortable with. One of the issues I've seen with good players, is they get confused because too many people are telling them contradictory things and the player never gets consistant with one technic.. They keep changing and that hinders their progress. Find a coach and if possible, stick with that coach. (You'll have coaches in HS and college that may try and change or tweak your swing. If you are batting well, they should never do much more the TWEAK your mechanics, BUT if you are struggling, be open-minded.
