So DD has figured somethings out and we are seeing big improvements with her swing and great contact. She played in 6 games over the weekend and only 3 AB's resulted in a weak ground ball or popup. Her contact rate is through the roof and she's hitting the ball hard.... mostly line shots and hard grounders. Even balls hit right at infielders are them issues because they are hit hard. Somethings we have done to improve;
- Focusing on hands, used the pvc tool(looks like a billy club) to instill tighter hand pivot
- Getting on plane early
- Hitting the ball with a top down approach, this does not mean chopping down on the ball, but hands above the ball with the barrel getting on plane early and staying on plane
- Staying inside the ball, this has resulted in inside pitches that were once rolled over and pulled foul being lined over SS into the gap
