Not here.
Bustos STARTS with bat/barrel on rear shoulder but, she DOESN'T LEAVE it there:

Bustos 'turns the barrel forward towards the ball' with her HANDS.

Hitter below uses her SHOULDERS to 'turn the barrel around down to the ball':

Is that Kris Bryant in the side-by-side gif? If so, he's really changed his stance based on what I saw tonight in Game 1.

Heel plant. Without even looking at the bat placement focus on hands/knob. Now imagine your DD hands/knob positioned correctly the bat placement will follow.

I'd focus on separation she needs some and getting to this position at heel plant. (Sorry if you've read other posts and I sound like a broken record but I'm not sure it is possible to over stress this position). Her timing, coordination and ability are good and she looks like a good hitter but she need to work on these mechanics to go from good to great and winter is the perfect time. There are style things that some people will talk about as must haves that are really optional but I'll go out on a limb and say every elite swing will at heel plant resemble these stills (or at least 99 out of 100)
