Help! I've got a girl on my team (8U - Machine pitch) that has a great swing for a 7 year-old. A few things to work on mechanically, but better than 8 of the other 10 girls on the team. Hitting off a tee, she crushes the ball!
If I pitch to her, she'll be super late, and when she hits it, it's down 1st base-line.
Turn the machine on, and she has 0 percent chance of hitting it, she's so late.
I don't think I can say "earlier" any more. We've been working on getting our hands back during the load, and trying to use that as a trigger. When we do tee work or soft-toss, I make sure she's hitting the ball out-front....
I'm at a loss here, and don't know how to get her to swing sooner.
Any ideas from the brain-trust?????
