im frustrated...?

I work my but off to get noticed by a MLB scout in order to get signed by a professional baseball team. Problem is I haven't been hitting at all and states is around the corner. Right now I'm 2-19 and play varsity. Last year I was a decent player batting .289 with 3 hrs and 19 rbi's. This is why I literally wake up every morning at 5:30am and go to the park and hit off the tee before school. I also bat on the weekends, every time I go hit off the tee I swing 200 times if not more...the thing is I'm always hitting off the tee (and no I'm not dropping my shoulder or anything) and hit line drives. Problem is I could be hitting off the tee all day and hit line drives but when its game time I just either strikeout, hit a hard grounder, or a high pop up. Its as if all of my hard work is pointless. If you're wondering I just so happen to bat similar to Troy Tolowiztski. I am a senior now and am really struggling to hit this year. I should be going out with a bang right?. Everyone tells me the same thing "you run like a cheetah", "you have power you just got to make contact" "you have a strong outfield arm", "you have talent you just got to put you're tools together. What's the point of having all of these tools if I can't even get a hit? I want to get scouted which is why I work as hard as I do but I never see the results I need in order to help my team out...no im not making this up. I really need some positive advice and thanks in advance I also want to play in college by the way.

    If you want to play in college, then why worry about a MLB scout signing you as a pro? Go play in college.

    .289 in high school is nothing special for a college player, much less a pro.

    I'll give you the only advice that will really help you.

    Don't expect ANYONE to be able to fix your swing on line.

    You may get some advice like "keep working hard" or "don't give up on your dream" "blah,blah,blah".

    But the bottom line is to fix a problem one needs to know what the problem is. And that is impossible to do without actually SEEING YOU hit.

    I'd suggest you find someone who can.
