Swing your bat multiple times per week.
Hitting is a "rehearsed reaction"....REHEARSED How many times have you rehearsed/practiced your swing? I am amazed how many players and parents think that a lesson every once in awhile to get "tuned up" is all that is needed to hit well. Elite pitchers work at their craft several times a week to improve their spin rates and velocity and even learn new pitches. To hit their new pitches and follow their great spins you should work at hitting several times a week. The bat in your hands, hitting front toss, side toss or off a T should be done several times per week. The actual number of swings and days per week is a personal thing: How great do you want to be?
If mom or dad do not feel qualified to analyze mechanics and teach a good swing then by all means find a good instructor. But that is a small part of the equation, instructors instruct...the student needs to rehearse.
