Are the players working on their hitting outside of team practices? Hitting is a skill that must be relentlessly developed and maintained.

Also, look to improve the quality of reps. Mindless tee swings on a ball right in the middle of the zone isn't going to do much. If you need to use a tee, attach a specific goal to the work (for example - set it up on the low/out corner, and have them work on driving that location hard).

Have regular team discussions on mental approach, and learning how to adjust their approach depending on the count.

The Justin Stone "feet together, step and swing" drill is always a good "back to basics" tool for introducing proper sequence.

Justin also had a PVC movement series online at one point. Canyonside Cages had a few good ones as well. Simple movement drills that reinforce the basic movement patterns.
