Not here.
On either hitters are they 'one hand finishers'? Letting go with the top hand?

Found this information:
As in the picture above of Hanley Ramirez, a one-handed finish can put the hitter in a problematic position, putting a tremendous load on the hitter's front shoulder.

The fix for batter's shoulder is to finish the swing by holding on to the bat with two hands.[/

All I can say is she generates her power with the upper body. He swing is out front. It looks to be a shoulder/chest/upperback/arm swing.

Getting the Pad of rear foot/hip to fire while the hands are loading back is the sequence you want to try and achieve.
The lower half grabbing the upper half...

Ade's Dad,
I know I say this a lot on here, but for DD, doing the HG Drill (walk up drill) and self toss, for warm-ups every time she touched a bat, made a huge difference. Now DD starts with her elbow a little lower, and naturally raises it as she strides/moves out.
