I think The best tip for youngsters is to do practice swings like trout. And then try to smash it once in the box.



If they dont figure it out by 12-14u then start with all this nonsense.

Just missing the the hips extending against the swinging "down to". Easily seen on the off-speed pitch.

Beating the pitcher to your position allows one to stay in the zone longer, which equates to barrel control with direction. It's what slows the ball down.
