Hey so recently my younger DD (16) joined a new 18u B team. They just had their first tournament and dd did pretty good. She did well at CF and had a triple and a 500 batting average. After the last game though dd’s Coach went up to me and her and said he thinks dd should try slap hitting from the left side. I wasn’t really expecting this cause while my dd is small (5’2) and pretty quick but not super fast (consistently runs a 2.9-3.0 20 yard dash) and she hits the ball decently well. Last year dd had a 350 batting average. Is it worth doing or should dd just stick to her normal hitting. Dd is ambidextrous so the hitting from the left side isn’t a problem (she often bunts from the left) and while she has slap hit every now and then she never had much success with it.
