Neutral position is only for CF, if then. Left field, left foot back, right foot back in right field, center field either or. Your first step is not back either, it is "open up". Open your hips up so you can move back at a fast pace. A step back will start you back peddling. Even with a left foot back, ball on right side it is easier and faster transition than neutral. You watch young players in neutral. There legs are usually too far out, they have to get them under them then move. Try it yourself, you should be able to see how much quicker and efficient it is. You want the foot back on the same side that the most open field is. Just my opinion.
If you have access to a pitching machine, use it instead of bats. You will know exactly where the ball is going and you can use cones to have girls start at different angles. Not to mention those dimple balls will teach soft hands.
