Well I wasn't so accomplished (DIII) so I am curious if you have seen people who don't swing well get them at other places then what I mentioned?

Yes, I come across hitters that have developed blisters elsewhere.

Interesting. I still have them under my middle finger and ring finger just from hitting fungos but I don't get the one at the bottom
probably because I am not really taking a full swing at it...

Are you a left-handed batter?
Yes, that is my bottom hand

Phew ... you had me scratching my head for a moment. Good for you!! That is right where it should be located. Sometimes you'll see a good hitter have a more pronounced callus at the base of the ring finger.
LOL.... unfortunately my dd does not yet, but we will get there.

Julray, the fact that you are swinging will help you help your daughter.
I'm going to guess that you are mostly doing tee swings and/or dry swings at this point in time. I could be totally wrong there ... and if so, then so be it. The reason I'm guessing that you aren't seeing live pitching, or even machine pitching, is because I don't believe you grasp the importance of the lower body in terms of what it means to 'time a pitcher' to 'time the ball'. Getting the lower body correct will help with the other improvements you've made.
Best wishes to you and your DD.

On this I agree. Once your daughter really feels what it's like to coil around the rear leg with the rear butt cheek she will then understand what it's like to be one legged. And then she will also learn the timing window you get from being one legged if you maintain the coil. It doesn't matter if you stride or not.
