There's no denying that JL is one of the top players in the nation, and being only a Sophomore, we can expect that she will continue to get better. Her hitting has proven to be successful, so there's no argument that her mechanics get the job done at a very high level. That said...
...is JL's swing and example use as a template for young hitters? Could she (theoretically) be better if she made some changes? To me, it looks like it's a little "pushy" with the hands compared with the MLB swings that are typically used as examples of good swings. However, I've been told I'm wrong on that issue before. Other than that, I like the swing a lot.
I'm curious what others are seeing.
EDIT: For clarity, this is the swing I'm commenting on...
