""I thought, 'Dang! it His swing is so much different than mine.' I watched his swing a lot on video and then started watching the swings of great hitters"

Exactly what I've been trying to say for fifteen years.. When everyone starts doing that we will leave the witch doctor era of hitting instruction.

To be fair, a lot of people have left the witch doctor era but I can't say it's close to a majority.

Not going to get into some pissing match on hitting and dont claim to be the guru, all i know is i have pics all over my wall of great hitters softball and baseball and they all are in same position at contact. I will just say this, the Earth is not flat!

I still don't know doctor. In 2012 I would tell her to let it get deeper. Please dissect.

She would be high on my list of kids to watch in games were I a college coach and she an available recruit.

Nice compact and efficient swing. Even though the video is short it seems apparent she has good hand control. No wasted motion. I assume she handle off-speed as well?

That is very nice of you, thank you. Was looking for more of break down critique, there is always things to improve on.
I have heard of coaches giving multiple lessons at the same time, I have also heard of coaches giving lessons while on the phone with other business.
Was hoping this would be the first web based lesson. A Heybucket first. ;)
It does show what an open field and cell phone offers.
Note all went center/right. I know there must have been an outside pitch in there.
