I figured this was the best place to get advice on helping my son and step son with their swings.
They are 8 and 7 respectively, both playing their first year of baseball. Playing coach pitch, we're far enough into the season that they are starting to get into it, both getting good enough at throwing and catching that they are starting to enjoy the game.
With that said my questions are regarding batting.
1. Are they too young to actually try and get them to have a good swing or should I be focusing more on just getting the bat on the ball?
2. They are both right handed, who in the majors, in your opinion has the best right handed swing? Who has the best swing over all?
3. What other tips do you have for improving their batting skill.
I played 1 season of little league when I was a kid, broke my hand and lost interest. I've played lots of soft ball, so I can help them throwing and fielding, but the actual hitting, I need advice.
