> I step BADLY toward the plate, subconsciously, during my swing and jam myself a lot. Any drills? I notice when I back off the plate and get into the pitch, I crush it. Advice?

Why not back off the pitch more and stride into the plate. George Brett, Harold Baines, and Frank Thomas used to hit effectively that way. The key is having a good grasp of the outside strikezone.
