Love how this hitter moves out!
Notice the forward movement before the ball is thrown. Hitters have to learn the feel of this. It’s awkward moving forward in a controlled manner before the ball is out. Have to learn to trust that the ball will be there. We do feet together stride hit Justin Stone drill on front toss and pitching machine to learn feel this. No gather, no load. Just float forward while pitcher has the ball
This is true. Every time DD gets moving forward as you mentioned, she feels early. Then she adjusts late for the next pitch. I think specifically for youngsters, it is awkward.Notice the forward movement before the ball is thrown. Hitters have to learn the feel of this.

On a machine yesterday she would pause at launch pos, because she thought she was early, then try to restart her engines when all she had to do was maintain her flow.
The ball would have been there.

Up front actions (UFA's) is what allows one to move out reactively.. There needs to be resistance (stretching) against the fall into both legs.. This is a dynamic weightless feeling during the fall.. It happens when one releases the UFA.
Sometimes all it takes is a simple hand pump that must be synced with the core. Most will do the pump by just using the arms. Its the details of the move that matters. Think of the pump as a compressing of the body head to toe.
Notice though the none panic movement, but a calm controlled move out.
