One of the simplest ways to improve hitting is to use a lighter bat.

Here's a general reference for bat weight recommendations. 

Age Bat Weight (ounces)

12   21
11   20
10   19
9    18
8    17
7    15-16
6    14

So if I'm purchasing a bat for my 8 year old I try find the longest bat that weighs 17 ounces.
