Thanks for all the replies, I've been reading through a lot of the more active hitting threads but at times all the info gets overwhelming.
There are some things that you all have pointed out that i hadn't noticed. The first would be the lack of coil. I had purchased a DVD that somebody on here had recommended a couple of years ago and started working on hip rotation but never really followed through on implementing it. I have since let somebody borrow it and have not gotten it back. Sports Technique - Baseball Training Videos to improve your Techniques with the power rotational swing and hitting!
I also had not noticed her knuckle position. I had taught her to line up the knocking knuckles when she started playing machine pitch and she was batting that way. I'm not sure when she stopped lining them up. Probably during this season with jv and varsity. I had not noticed the gap between her hands.
I had noticed that compared to pujols her hands are really high. I may try to address that this weekend but i'm afraid to do too much at once and cause her to be uncomfortable at the plate until after the season. Plus i need to get a better grasp on all this or i'll end up contradicting myself every other week and confusing both of us lol.
First thing will be getting the grip changed. We'll see how she takes to the hands being lower and try the coil but not really push the issue on it for a couple more weeks unless she takes to it well.
