Thoughts, is trapping the hands a bad thing or does it allow for greater unloading?

I don't see her hands getting trapped. In fact this would be a good example of the hands staying married to the back shoulder. This is a compact simple swing. Pitch looks away so she has to extend elbows to adjust. When girls are this strong and the bats are hot and the balls are like rocks I am surprised she doesn't have 40 HRs. She kind of has that pause rhythm like Rendon.

Nitpicking, but pitch looks middle/middle in to me. Look at where the catcher sets up and goes for it.
After further observation, I believe you may be correct. Does it look like ball went to CF or even RCF?

What does 'trapping hands' mean? And why is it a problem?It’s not trapping the hands like kids do, it’s just a little bit.
I think trapping the hands happens as the barrel collapses into the body or back shoulder. In that case the barrel stays cocked for to long.
In Alo, she isn’t collapsing into the body, although the barrel stays cocked during initiation. Which then turns into a huge uncocking move, great sling shot action.

Love it! Sling shot, rubber band. I like the cue "the bat coming out of no where " or "suddenness" or " the wave crashing" "late whip" or "release it " to describe the feeling. Find it, feel it. Loose top hand.
Her swing is so balanced. Golf fans could relate to John Rahm.
