How about this one…


Nice float.
Hitter don't need to have such a long deliberate float but I like swings that do. They just look relaxed and unrushed with a sense of confidence.
Reminds how silly the instruction of "ball in the air, foot in the air." Different hitters have different tempos. I prefer the cue "when she (pitcher) starts moving, you start moving.'
I think more hitters would benefit from slowing down (starting earlier/ hanging longer) than wait to see the ball mentality.

If you are hanging you're waiting to see the ball.

Looks like she anticipated an inside fastball was coming (looks like pitcher missed her spot..). Either that or she decided to simplify things after the whole team struggled most of the game.
