All year long me players ages 11-12 have swung the bat late. They strike out or foul off balls the opposite way because they try to hit the ball over the plate instead of in front of it. I have gone back to soft toss, using the tee and batting cage. They do extremly well in the cage but when it commes down to the game they swing late everytime. It has to be the way I am coaching for the whole team to do this. Any advice.
