"Hi all. This is my first post. I enjoy reading the discussions very much. Here is my 12 year old's swing. Small kid, good hitter, good power, does get blown away by top major's travel ball pitchers."

Very nice swing. Great rotation. Notice the back foot off the ground at the point of contact.

Swing is a little slow (6-7 frames), with some signs of bat drag, but that may be due to the weight of the bat.

He also seems to hit the ball a little far out in front. Is he trying to take his hands to the ball?

In general I wouldn't mess with him.
