My 12 year old daughter (righty) steps her left foot back and toward the pitcher, instead of straight towards the pitcher.
She usually hits, but not strong. Her coaches have changed her stance with her left foot in, so when she swings, she still steps back, but out and lines up with pitcher.
This has worked, as she got 2 hits to the fence last weekend, which has never happened before. We have been hitting the cage with a much higher pitch speed as well.
My question is.....is this a "fix", or is this a "band-aid"?
If it is a band-aid, should we work on it now (and possibly affect her hitting), or do we wait until the off season?
