This is what is so tough about swing analysis through video or with only a couple examples.
First video early in count, normal stance and swing, high pitch out over the plate against a weak pitcher.
Second video behind in count, no stride shortened up stance and swing, low and away pitch against a quality pitcher.
Honestly if you asked her if she had two strikes on her against a really good pitcher and she shorten up her swing to make contact and the pitcher made a perfect low and away at the knee right off the plate that she is about to get rung up on and she reached out and got a double she would probably take that ever time.
I'm not a huge fan of the changing swing mechanics and approach with two strikes...but I'm not a P5 commit either. Coming back off injury like that though just gotta take it slow and easy. I'd focus on that first swing where every thing is very natural and balanced.
I hear ya. This is a video my dad took at a game I was not able to attend. Different angle, but it's one of my favorites.
