 The stronger your top wrist gets the farther the ball will go. Most hitters make contact with a weak TOP wrist so the ball makes the bat move back at contact. Swing the bat with a strong top wrist, squeeze the bat tight quickly when you want to swing. This will start the forward move. Its not "hips before hands" It's TOP HAND FIRST! The rest of the body should follow the direction the top hand leads to the ball. The eyes and body set itself up different behind the top hand based on location and speed of pitch but the STRONG TOP HAND LEADS THE WAY. This move is not hard to learn but then you can focus on being more accurate with your barrel. Where did the ball hit my bat. AIM SMALL MISS SMALL. You're not trying to hit the ball. You're not trying to hit it with your bat you're trying to hit it on the barrel because it goes faster off your bat. There is an art and craft to hitting. The calm and accurate dudes are the best players. 

Make sure to do a lot of TOP hand swings in the cage. Your top wrist can't get too strong. 

If your ego lets you CHOKE UP! Being accurate with the barrel becomes easier because the top hand is closer to the barrel. CHOKING UP  is a cheat code that only some guys use like the 2022 NL batting title winner or the best hitter of all time, Bonds. 

Choke up and catch the ball with the barrel with a strong top wrist at contact. Please try this, its fun to high five your player rounding third after a homer. 

Your players need to do a lot of pushups and squeeze a baseball with their top hand  In practice put the machine where the pitcher your age would release the ball. Now put the machine on the hardest velocity you will see. Then play a game. Hit in the cage during game. Get another machine for the cage, if not just flip and throw to each other, a lot of top hand swings. Focus on accuracy of barrel. When players throw to each other they should throw different pitches but still try to throw strikes. Good for both guys. Pitcher is working on being accurate and his stuff. Hitter sees different ways the ball moves. Youth players struggle with off speed because they don't get a chance to practice hitting it. Offspeed are easy to hit when they are a strike because they are slow, learn to hit the off speed if you want to hit bombs. Amateur baseball is hanger central because no-one swings at it. Be the team that crushes hanging breaking balls and never worries about velocity because they hit it everyday in practice, SEE IT UP.
