Every hitter has their weaknesses. Perhaps it is a low, outside strike. Maybe they have difficulty with anything off speed, or pitches on the inner half of the plate. When you stop and think about it, the strike zone, from the knees to the letters, ranging from the inner half to the outer half of the plate, is a fairly large area to cover with a 32-34 inch bat. Great hitters understand this, and they discipline themselves to lay off pitches they know they struggle with early in the count.
Successful hitters understand their strengths as well. They understand the pitch they hit the hardest and most consistently. For me, it was the fastball up and in. When I saw this pitch, my eyes lit up, and I was swinging from my heels. What is your best pitch to handle? What pitches give you trouble? These are very important questions you must ask yourself. Once you know the pitches you like and dislike, you are well on your way towards developing a successful hitting plan.

bat are all important when determining which youth baseball bat a player is comfortable using. See the youth baseball bat size chart here

Hitting a baseball is one of the toughest skills to learn, particularly for young, developing players. It takes practice, practice, practice to develop into a better hitter, so it’s really important that players get maximum benefits from every batting practice session.
I call it Quick Toss,
and it’s proven to be a excellent training and teaching drill that can
be used virtually anywhere from the ball park to the backyard. Unlike
soft toss that's a slow arching toss from the side, Quick Toss suspends
the ball directly over the plate and in the "proper hitting zone".

New Hitting Drill Makes Practice More Productive
jeff writes "By Terry Scheele
Hitting a baseball is one of the toughest skills to master. And equally tough to teach. So to help players maximize their abilities and develop into better hitters, it is important for coaches to make batting practice as highly productive as possible.
Traditional "soft toss" has always been a favorite of coaches and is a great timing drill. But I have discovered a far better method... "
