Doug,

I mean this is the nicest of ways, because I want all kids to succeed, regardless of my opinions, but here goes. I was not aware that was your kid, when the original post was made, but even then I recognized some problems.

Jack stated back then....that his swing was just another average swing. I don not agree with that statement, because clearly he is having success. My assesment at the time was that he inside/out's the ball/V-shapes the swing and casts the bat late in the swing. I still maintain this analysis, but upon knowing this was your boy i wanted to take a further look. He most definitly sways his hips....in other words he cocks his hips incorrectly.

Having said all of that.......I'm not here to bash your boy....he probably will go places that I've never been, but at some point...in my opinion.....he will need a swing change. I'd offer my help, but we already know you disagree with me....so scrap that idea. Let's just say I wish him the absolute best of luck and I hope he lives his dreams!!!

I work with a kid right now in AAA that sways (which is a power loss), he is doing amazing things right now in BP, since we've made the changes to his foot action. 2 years ago, he was minor league batting champion, but wanted these changes, because he needed more power to be considered by his parent club. He'll play for the Phillies organization next year!
