Interesting point about focusing on her motion, not the pitcher. Great side effect.
Jackie Traina stance?

DD's hitting coach recommends it to girls that are too anxious or nervous when going up to bat. He said it just becomes part of the routine and helps with nerves while waiting for the pitch.

Some coaches advocate a "2 strikes" stance where they swing forward and coil back. Is this the same kind of thing, or am I missing something?

Yup! 2 strikes and vs Ricketts
I actually got my DD to start going through a similar motion this season. It shortened her swing (bat ends up by her back shoulder instead of by her ear). The shorten swing robber her of some power, but cut down on her strikeouts and allowed her to hit more line drives. A lot of batters who hold their hands by their head have a 'dip' in their swing which causes a lot of pop ups.
