Open Stance stepping to close to the Plate

[covrec1]

I have a girl that has an open stance but when she steps she steps almost on the plate. How do I fix this???

What is the reason for the open stance?

 

[SoAZDad]

put a pylon where she steps and coach her to step into the pitch?

I agree with the above. Just put a board down that she will step on if she is stepping closer to home then you would like.

Recommending a board without providing material and dimensional specifications makes this post inappropriate for the theological hitting forum. Mods have been notified.

You don't, unless this hitter steps exactly the same way regardless of pitch location. The front foot will do what the front foot/leg needs to do, dictated by pitched ball location. Inside pitch front leg/foot will open more. Outside pitch open less.

DD uses OS to remind her to lock both eyes on the ball during pre-motion...and dance w/pitcher.

But Really its because that's what MW does.

Next time she can use a pitching machine or if you have an accurate enough pitcher let her take 10 pitches inside, preferably on the black if she can hit them effectively you don't have a problem, if she can't then use the techniques described above, just don't use a line it has to be an object so she feels herself stepping too far inside

In baseball we were always taught to never lock in on the ball during premotion... Different topic though.
