Inside heat does give her trouble (see the bat break video). Agree on hands pinned. Haven’t really thought about that. We haven’t seen many that run it inside consistently but that is the pitch that she “takes” the most for a called strike. I worry about the stretch (or more how long it takes to get stretched) if the hand setup is more like what AJ said. She’s strong but not AJ strong lol. Needs all available resources with her frame.I agree with WW about the hands being pinned a bit. Sort of like what AJ mentioned when asked about his change of hand positioning in his setup. How does she do with inside heat?
I think Tiare Jennings is a really good example of a female hitter who sets herself up well to be able adjust with her hands when necessary.
That said she looks good. Like you said there is always something to work on if you are paying close enough attention
All good man! I’m here for it or I wouldn’t have posted. I’ll get some swings of weak outs and post them as well. When she’s off, like most hitters, she will hit ground balls pull side and weak pop ups away.

You don't need his setup, it was just an example of somebody saying that because of their particular setup, and how he loaded, he was getting pinned and talking about how that effected his ability to get to a certain pitch.
How much “stretch”, in terms of how you are looking at it I think, is Tiare getting here?
Maybe do some inside angle toss with her and have her work the left center gap and see if she can self adjust a bit?

Nothing like squaring up a round bat to a round ball. No wonder this game is such a wonderful challenge.
Have observed that many of the young players are set up the same distance from the plate at 5’6” as when they were 4’6”. How far do they need to be off the plate to drive the inside pitch without it hooking foul? Can you set up a tee on the inside corner and have them gradually retreat from the plate in their set up to find the spot to drive the ball straight down the line?
Does Tiare Jennings always stride to a closed stance or was she looking to drive something to the right side in that at bat?
Appreciate you all
. Oh yeah, that is a video of my granddaughter that I luckily found while cleaning up some computer files.

Maybe it's an optical illusion, but is her back foot farther away from the plate in the previous post?

Hard to tell, different view.

If I had to pitch to her, just may hand her the ball to do some self toss.
