This is live pitching, so if she is actually rushed she may be throwing her load "out the window" as well. Is this swing the same as her tee or soft toss swing?
Just posted tee work

This is IMO proves, she simply isn't starting her sequence soon enough to complete it and get to her spot. Therefore her sequence breaks down and she cuts everything short because she's rushing. She gets beat. Therefore has some of the issues E is stating. With the tempo she has on the tee swing, if that is her normal tempo, needs to be started much sooner. Just make sure she doesn't start sooner and but then slow down her tempo. The tempo she has belongs to her, own it and do not change it, just start it in the right place.
Review these batters and when they start their sequence with the pitcher. You can slow the video down to see it.
Getting started on time
I thought this video was a good reference, depending on movement patterns, open stance, closed stance, standard etc. of when a player should be starting the gather etc. Just play it on reduced speed to see when these batters get going during the pitching wind up. For many young players, this...

Looks like a different player, lol.
She's obviously rushed. She just needs to be her "tee self," at the correct time.
She can't wait and decide for a strike. Her tee self needs to begin so that she is already striding as the pitcher releases the ball. Someone here always says "ball in the air, foot in the air." Someone else always posts a Sue Enquist video that really hits on a good mental philosophy that there is no decision to swing, it's already made. The only decision is needed to stop it.
Is that the same person? That swing is not bad.

I'm willing to bet she probably doesn't have many timing issues with front toss. Right? She does her normal tee sequence probably too on front toss.
Have you ever noticed that when it comes to front toss, most players (not all) but most never have timing issues. They don't even have to see a pitch first like if you were on deck. They can just step up to the plate and hit with almost no timing issues and no thought to it. I always found that fascinating. What they are failing to realize is that the timing for front toss is basically the same timing as live pitching (in general). The time to contact from release on front toss if done correctly is roughly the same time as live. The time it takes for the back swing to to release in front toss, is the same as the arm circle to start and to go around to release. I think they get a little flustered because there is all the movement of live pitching. A pitcherers stride, and glove hand flying around, LOL. Its a lot to take in verses a simple front toss. Now with all that said, how does a player normally start their sequence for front toss. The start it with the back swing generally,and are starting the forward move a tad before release. Thats really all a player needs to do with live pitching (in general). Start when the arm circle starts. And start going forward a tad before release.
I just thought I would share observation.

Same person lol, I also struggle trying to figure out how to transfer her tee swing to live that’s why I’m here maybe y’all awesome people can help me. I alway thought she had a nice tee swing.
She has to move out like (visualize) the ball is on a tee vs waiting to see where the ball is going (like clemenslee said beat the pitcher to her spot).. She needs to get there before the ball..
