Just remember sagital means if your in the batters box its your shoulder/legs facing pitcher and shoulder/legs facing catcher in orientation. At least that's how I always remember it.
have her watch this:
I'm going to jump into the fray and ask for some opinions and/or tips on DD's swing. Not the greatest video for
evaluating, but it's the best I have at this point. Honestly it's a video I made while trying to teach myself how to
make videos on my phone.
Anyway DD is 11 years old. First year 12u. Any advice would be helpful.
Men are built broad at the shoulders and narrow at the hips, women are built like an hour glass. Don't analyze the swings of 6'4" 230 lb males when you there is so much you can do with the like of a Sierra Romero and many others
Could not disagree more. Telling someone that is bad advice. We should analyze the swings of both men and women. The 230lb males are not the best in the world for nothing and the same applies to women also. They both in the top softball and top baseball use the same overall mechanics.

I hear ya. I thought that way for decades until I found biomechanics. For example, women's bodies are less muscular, but their joints are more flexible, which gives them greater range of motion -- an advantage in sports such as gymnastics. The wider female pelvis also affects the alignment and movement of the extremities. Women are more prone to injuring joints such as the shoulders and knees. Weaker shoulder muscles and looser supporting tissues mean the joint is less stable than in men. For the fast pitch I just started studying the successful women mostly to help prevent biomechanical injury. Take care.Could not disagree more. Telling someone that is bad advice.
