LH non-slapper is a line drive hitter. Routinely hits up the middle or at least middle 1/3 of field gap to gap. She also has an uncanny ability to hit for base hits or doubles at will to the left 1/3 of the outfield (oppo). VERY high BA and can literally put any pitch in the strike zone to left field, some hit very hard and others sliced or dropped into no mans land. If she decides it is going to be picked up by the left fielder, it doesn't matter if you pitch her inside or out, the ball is going to touch grass on the left. Of course, the inside out swings don't have the same pop as an outside pitch, but still looks ok on the stat line.
Pulling the ball to the right is her weakness and results in more outs than using middle-away. Specifically speaking the inside pitch here and when she has the mindset to hit it where it is dealt.
Question is: Should we even work on the pull to right or just go with what works?
