> I have a seven year old in a machine pitch league. He killed the ball the first half of the season and did not strike out. He now strikes out at least two times per game, although he does get a few good foul balls that are pulled. When he misses, he swings too early. When he hits it, the ball is always pulled to the left side. Please help!

Sir-

Just keep it fun and simple at his age. Don't worry about where he hits the ball. Remember this is a kids' game and we should keep it that way. If he enjoys playing I would just keep putting him out there on the field.
