Pitchers that can control the ball vertically. High, a little higher, even higher, then low lol!
Worked hard on having better control of forward move. Not letting the outside part of the rear foot come off the ground during the move out. Tons of coil drills, deeper tees, deeper flips etc. We did a lot of HLP stuff. Never talked about snapping the barrel or TTB. Worked on getting the knob to work up as soon as possible with the understanding the it has to work down some first. Adjusted posture due to the amount of high ball pitchers we have been facing. We anticipate up, and adjust down now. We work it in BP, front toss, side toss, tees. She’s getting better but like y’all know to well, hitting never ends! You are never a finished product.
There all kinds of hitters. Here's a 14 year old that has never had a hitting lesson.The second forward move is more of what I like. The way the body extends doesn’t coincide w high to low posture adjustments. But hey if it works for you keep going. It’s just not efficient in relation to human movement(s).

Just thinking coaching different body types and mental types the same could become quite frustrating.What does that have to do w anything? And I’m sure whoever she plays for or has played for has given her tips etc. so everyone is taught something .
Once any hitter gets to the professional level there is going to be instruction of some sort. If we are talking about somebody who hit well enough without instruction to make it to professional ball I think a pretty good hitter hit cross handed until pro ball so I am guessing he didn’t get muchHow many untaught hitters can you name?
