So Cal
I hope not, he has the worst swing in mlb. Look at his rear humurus, let me know if any other mlb player does this. He is early early to his stride leg also.

I think Ray was speaking to the explosiveness and speed of her movement.

I wouldn't say "the worst swing" of MLB players. He has one of the worst swings. Much like Stanton, I want to see what happens after he starts to lose his quickness.

Harper is sufficiently athletic that he can hit decently (.260ish with some power) for now. Once he starts slowing down, it's not going to be pretty.

@ 10yo, I wouldn't tinker with her swing. I would make sure she's seeing more live arm pitching though. Don't do any drills. She's athletic with intent. And beware of the internet guru who invites you to pay for his opinion... LOL

Front leg is down to early, but funny thing is it looks as if her weight stays back./QUOTE]
It does?

Yes her hips and hands are back because they stay back until she slams into her front leg.

Braun is "staying back"

Her hips never turn until well after she hits.

Anyway, to the helpful side, I have been (with Noon's help on the huge files) been getting some McCutchen swings together. Great examples of how to move out and stay back. Watch him on the varying distances of move-out. He is coiled around his rear leg, so he is powered up in place and he is powered up moving out several feet. Harper, and I would argue your dd, have to launch out several feet to produce power. If you can be full power early (moving out) and be full power late (back with little move out) that is adjustablilty.
