players swing

[coachdan]

This is one of my players on my 18u team. This girl is 15 yrs old. I would like some feedback on her swing.

Im new to this, but that is a pretty good looking swing. The two things that stuck out to me is #1 right after contact she is not extending fully through the ball and almost slightly rolling her wrists. #2 her front foot is opening up to much to soon.

You will see that Manny gets full weight transfer, extends all of the way through the zone thus getting full power at contact.

Lots to like here. Thoughts-I'd like to see her load the pelvis a lot more. Photo 11 of 31, Analysis And I'd like her to keep her lead arm closer to the chest a lot longer after a little more load back of the hands during the stride.

Look at this clip to compare.

I think we are seeing some of the same things. I agree about the front foot. I'd rather see the pelvis open the foot. The extension stuff you are talking about I suggest would vary with pitch location.
