How do I stop my kid from casting his hands in baseball swing?

Casting happens when hands fly out early away from the body, shortening the swing path, jamming hitters, and causing weak contact or pulls/flys. Fix it by separating hands from the body early—lead with the knob of the bat toward the ball while keeping hands tight between your body and the contact point. This "throws the hands" the right way: pins the barrel back, keeps it long and flat through the zone for better accuracy, power, and solid contact.

• Early separation + knob lead prevents hands from casting out wide

• Hands stay connected/close to body until contact → longer barrel path, no jamming

• Pin barrel back for flat swing plane → line drives and harder hits
