This is a pretty good swing. There is lots a like in the swing. I like the weight shift. I like the hips popping. I like the backside and front side leverage, leverage off both,

She has some barrel dropping. She is doing more right then wrong. Although she might be getting the hands to close to the body.

Not bad at all. A real solid foundation to start from.

Not here.

Yes, dropping or as I would have said flattening the bat first then swinging.
hands to close to the body
I would have said rear elbow glued to DD's rear side and hitting around her body. Not out from. Unless this was an inside pitch then I would say this is the result of an inside pitch barrel path.

A few things that might work.

Try a vertical bat and then when it lowers it will be better aligned with the torso (proper angles).

Try starting with the back elbow higher and forearm level with the ground. I believe you get a better scap load with a higher back elbow. See if you create a better connection, a better stretch phase. Get those hands back more. You start relaxed and then connect quickly .

I think the lower body and hip action looks pretty good. Just need the hands to be back farther, Better stretch through the lead arm, better connection.

Red,

For me, best part of that video was her smile in the last few frames as she came back to the dugout - I think she'll be playing (and enjoying) the game for many years to come!
