Good move in widening the stance. But also focus on getting the head of the bat in front of the plate. The bat head should be at least 6 inches to a foot in front of the plate if you are standing even with the plate.

Practice taking a half swing as in the game of pepper in an effort to catch the ball out in front of the plate. And gradually move to taking a full swing. Manny Ramirez uses a one arm swing drill in an effort to hitting through the ball.

Thanx George!! This all sounds like great advice and I can't wait to try it out.
