I think both can be right. Cat looks smooth and effortless. Ueno is more explosive. My students comment was it felt smooth and effortless. I on the other hand, felt explosive and more powerful.

I have always thought that both feet ought to be on the front of rubber the same....

We wait for Java to post some specific neuromuscular training for kids that have a hard time using the "opposite" side. I taught myself how to switch hit when I was a kid so I know it is possible to wire the brain to better use the other side.
cue the switch hitter jokes.
OK... from my immediate "applicational" response (check times) I am coining the Term FFS. Front Feet Stretch. I am proceeding on this "Mission to Mars" Meet you @ the SpaceStation on my Return
EP: Just got phone call about term.... I'm amending FFS to also mean Feet First Sir's in the KISS tradition.

I think there is a lot of ackward things with the fast pitch motion. When you start teaching a first timer you have to break some natural body movements.
1. Underhand delivery. Throwing overhand is much more natural.
.2 a jab step with the right foot before you pitch.
3. Overlap. Next time your sitting on a bucket, notice how you fire your hands and arms to create momentum to get off the bucket. Overlap is firing your body to create momentum into the arm and ball.
For me, I think IR is one of the natural movements and we coach it out of them. Go figure

Agree... that's my reasoning for thinking ALL Girls Fastpitch Player's, should know how to throw underhand (IR~MR). If for no other reason, than to tell them "Hitting is Underhand" after they have accomplished the throw...

I would hope RH pitchers are using their left leg.
See earlier post replying to PC .....
I see.
Just an observation. Your DD appears to simply walk off of her rear leg, whereas Ueno uses her rear leg much more in getting the party started.
The front foot becomes lifted. The center of pressure is 100% on the rear foot as she aligns her body into an aggressive sprinter's orientation.
There is power in this.
