What are the thoughts on low hands?

What are the thoughts on low hands?

It looks like she's athletic and aggressive! This reminds me of a couple of players I coach. She made contact there, but her bat path limits her hitting. It looks like she's swinging around her body. I see DBSF. You didn't ask about the lower half, but I think learning to coil as the player moves out contributes greatly to improving the upper half.

She has a long ways to go for sure.. Thanks for the reply.

Lower hands = More Slack, Less Adjustabilty IMO. Her hands launch a little lower than shoulder. Agree on DBSF

I would use neck slot with her.

Orwheels,

Yes the lowerbody an coil contribute greatly to the upper half.

So you would change the hands rather then working with her style?

Yes there is some slack.

The feet move around, that can be causing some issues too.

Tell her to relax..

Starting over from scratch. If she has any intentions of playing the game in HS, now is the time to start all over. Justin Stone drill, neck slot drill, etc. She has happy feet too. Not sure how long she has been playing but the longer she has played the harder it is going to be to revamp her swing. Tee work almost everyday for a couple weeks before she gets any front toss. You will be doing her a favor.

She wants to play for her HS, which is a very strong team year in and year out. You have to be very good to make our Varsity team.

She only played 1 yr at 10u and then COVID canceled her second year. I don’t count the rec ball years. This is only her second year of playing.

Let me put it this way, this is only her second year of facing pitchers.
