2. Are you selecting your pitches at all or just swinging at anything in the zone?

3. How is your strikeout rate? Perhaps eat a few more strikeouts and avoid putting the ball on the ground for the easy DP just to lighten up the stress of constantly ending rallies quickly. If you're not being selective, maybe now is the time to just sit back and take pitches instead of just free-swinging.

4. Are you using the power button a lot over the contact button?

5. Have you thought about instead opting to lay more bunts down to avoid hitting into more DPs?

Just a few things to consider on how to change up your approach.
Wow. That just about covers it. I use all of these things.

You could also try swing influence (r-stick up). But it's no guarentee.
