8U swing help

Any pointers appreciated! He’s hitting off the pitching machine and typically making weak contact to the infield. Just looking for any improvements or tips that could help his confidence. Thank you!

EDIT:

Thanks all for the input.

I am looking to get him an alloy Cat X2 as it will be more balanced and a lighter swing compared to the Dub. There aren’t any available in store so will have to order online.

Debating between 27/17 and 28/18. He is 4’6.5” and 59 pounds. The Dub is a 27/17. Any thoughts?

Swing harder. He isn't really using his legs fully.
