You should be in position before the ball pitches, wghich means you need to pick the line and length in the air as early as possible, then move quickly into position so you are balanced and starting your bat's downswing at the right moment.

I think ur leg are not stronger to bear ur weight. So little bit gym workouts and exercise to your legs could do it.
