Think everyone is right about the big step. Kind of what I've been seeing as well. A lot seems to go back to lack of strength and struggling to find the explosiveness out of that leg.
Watched the pushback drill video again the other day. I don't recall hearing something on leaping off of that leg, but it does seem to apply. One thing when I work on pushbacks with her, I make sure her heel isn't hitting the ground, but the video is more specific in keeping the foot as a rigid level. I think we can do better on keeping her rear foot rigid. I think we can work on this.
Regarding leaping off of the stride leg before the drive foot activates... Is this correct? It feels like this will further promote stepping forward with the drive foot instead of having it drive rearward into the pitching rubber. We can work on this, but I want to make sure that leaping off of that leg is the way to go.
