He does a nice job of staying connected. I like how he keeps his head down and locked as well. Classic rotational hitting.
If there was one thing I would change with the player in this picture is moving him a little more forward. The lower half is fine. The middle and the upper half is too deep. It may be unfair to judge on one picture, however if you look at the rear foot, its squishing the bug. The toe shows weight.
If he gets a little more forward, or, brings his hips forward to contact, you will see the rear toe lift from the ground. When that happens with your son's ability and stregnth, you will see lots of balls leave the park.

Pretty perceptive sk. As with all 11 year olds...he is a work in progress. Sometimes he gets it...sometimes you wonder!!  He is working with Jessie Barfield right now and that is actually one of the things he is trying to work with. We are at a crossroad at this point. My son hits in the neighborhood of .650 (little booger!!) The mentality Jessie has taken with him is "it aint broke...don't fix it" However, Drew wants to hit for power...hence the lessons and the "minor" tweaking that must take place to get the power. Drew has always been your prototypical lead-off hitter, as his OBP has always been astronomically high and his speed is off the chain! The kid is a little Biggio...he is just always on base. Lately, he has been hitting with much more power. You know that is an aphrodisiac to a kid, especially one who has watched his older brother park a few. I enjoy what he is doing now with the high OBP and average.....he wants to hit the long ball........ a little of both would be nice I suppose.
