What he said. They may be trying to pull outside pitches which usually result in ground balls or line drives right at the SS

Slappers, as you know you may do a little tweaking of their swing but at 18 your not really going to change it. I too had a girl this fall who just couldn't hit the ball, her swing looked pretty good but she couldn't connect.

What I did with her is start with the positive thinking. Get rid of the "I have to", or "I'm not going to" thinking. I told her to think what she wanted to do. Then we kept working on the KISS method. I had her just tell herself "see the ball" and let it happen, trust her swing. She has actually started hitting the ball solid. First weekend she had struck out 5 times in 7 AB. Last weekend she struck out once in 8 AB and ended with a Triple, 2 Doubles, and 1 Single. Didn't change anything but the way she was thinking.
