The reason she leads with the back elbow is because once the front heel drops and her hips start to rotate she leaves her hands behind, causing her to have a arm bar

Please provide a non-BP swing by a major leaguer.

Her hips lead the swing; as they should.
This is a beautiful swing. Not absolutely perfect, but beautiful, nevertheless. Near perfect. I would use this as a model swing for students.

It takes tremendous skill to pull this swing off.
It would ruin 99% of your students.

Here's Kelsey Bruder of FL showing the same pattern...
There's a reason why this swing is very rare at the highest levels of FP and BB.
There's also a reason why this HR went to the opposite field.

She appears to collapse her back side/knee. Not as good a swing as the other batter.
What about the other batter would ruin a student's swing if used as a model?

Like Enea, she likes to get down a bit.
Her separation is tremendous.
Most kids wouldn't be able to keep from experiencing serious bat drag.

Yeah, great separation!
Bat drag because of the slight elbow issue? Wouldn't it have to be more pronounced?
