Swing evaluation please

[Daughter'sFather]

How much work was she getting when that guy was helping her compared to now?

A couple of times a week versus nothing for the past 2 months.

As in she hasn't hit at all during the week for the last 2 months?

She is very strong and quick but almost out of control. Head / eyes are being jerked around by such a violent move. She needs a more in controlled swing. I would be going back to the tee. When she can hit 9 out of 10 line drives to RC field with a smoother stroke then I would return to front toss. She is hitting but not swinging if that makes sense.

I would tend to agree with you. The first video is a HitTrax session and aiming for the leaderboard for exit velo and distance is something that I don't think is helpful to development.

No, sorry, she was meeting with the Dad 2X/wk for 1.5 - 2 hrs.. Now, she has team practice 2X/week and occasionally meets with her regular hitting coach, but he has limited availability. It's mostly me and my wife in the backyard having he do tee work and pitching using a Jugs lite-flite machine around 4X/wk.

Ok. Do you have video from when she was hitting well?

Well, I thought the video with the 70 mph exit velo was hitting well when I posted it.

Ok I am sorry..I lost track of your videos.

Like @Work=wins and @BigSkyHi alluded to, it doesn't look like she is loading the upper half (counterotation) as well in the backyard swings BUT that may be because the cage swings look to be against much lower velocity than the backyard swings and in the backyard swings she may not be giving herself enough time. Do you have game swings from when she was hitting well in games and also right now? If you don't get started early enough (for your movement pattern) that can screw up everything..

If she will hit it out front more,

This is exactly the problem. High level hitters do not do this.

No separation when you compare the backyard swings to the cage swing. Makes her push the bat. everything turns together.

Could you explain "separation" in layman's terms?
