I've always instructed DD when batting to take the first pitch unless she absolutely loves it, swing at the strike 1 pitch if she thinks she can hit it, swing at the strike 2 pitch if she isn't positive it will be a ball.
She just moved to the left side and started slapping this summer. Wondering if she should swing at more first pitches now that she is slapping. The first "take" gives away that she's a slapper because of her step through motion? When slapping, she can hit a lot of low pitches, but not hard solid hits.
