    He needs to get off the plate. He's tying himself up on fastballs in, he's so close to the plate anything inner third he thinks is off the plate and if he does offer he can't get the barrell to the ball. Him and Hunter are equivalent to a pitcher that throws hard but doesn't know how to pitch. Give you an example, a couple of years ago in the south state playoffs my son had a kid who was just an incredible power hitter, committed to State but is now at usm. He was another one of these kids stand on top of the plate pull everything hitter. Difference is this kid actually listened and was coachable. First 2 times up he jammed himself because of being to close to the plate. He came up bottom 7, 2 outs, 2 on down by 2. Kid knew what they were doing to him so he backed off the plate and that first pitch fastball instead of a jam shot he got the barrell there and hit about 400 feet for a walkoff. You have to go up there with a plan and make adjustments even during abs. The hitters that can do that, became stars the ones that don't never reach their potential.
