Answer 1

Make sure to keep your wrists in, don't lunge for the ball, and remember the power from your swing comes from your legs.  By doing cleans, squats, dead-lifts (different types of weightlifting techniques) you will strengthen your legs allowing you to generate more power.  

Soft-toss, hitting from a tee, simulated games with your teammates, are all good ways to improve your swing.  

Also look at your placement of your feet throughout your swing, if you are off-balance or crossing-up your legs it will effect your swing.  Also, when you are in your batting stance, keep your elbows up, don't relax them, and focus on the ball.

Lastly, baseball is a simple game, work on the above when you are practicing, but in game situations ... Relax, and keep things simple.

Answer 2

tape your swing when you're batting

Answer 3

Get ur bat, a softball, and a hitting tee and just hit off the tee all day and eventually you'll get better. Also, it helps to have a coach or someone watch you and see if they can see what you are doing wrong but it will take work.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Just keep practicing =]

Answer 5

I agree.. Soft toss, and a tee.  Be careful by hitting too many at a time.  You will get tired and develop bad habits.  Break it down into sets and focus on every swing. Work on rolling your top wrist over a bit.
