She played for New Mexico State. She had a .355 batting average with a .625 slugging percentage. The result of this particular swing was a homerun.

Was she overstriding?

You must be fishing for something.... with those stats, that pitch and that result my only comment would be "Nice hit"

In my opinion, stride length is part of personal style. Some hitters would struggle with that much stride. Others may not have an issue with it. Allow your hitters to find their own style, and don't coach their athleticism out of them.

She hits off the backside. At least in that swing.

I like the closed front foot. She doesn't get great hip action in this swing, although does have good shoulder rotation.

I'm curious. I want to learn more about hitting. Apparently, good things happen here and I thought I would wander over from the pitching forum and learn something.
