Keeping the Front Shoulder Down during Stride

[clemenslee1]

Looks to be the hands loading to early. I think this drill could help. IMO. Sorry for such a small video.

Not the best video, she comes out of her tilt which you have to do for a high pitch. I think I'm seeing a little bat drag in there. It looks to me like she loses the space between her lead arm bicep and the collar bone which is a symptom of bat drag. Some different video would help clarify what she is doing.

Just guessing without video...Sounds like a sequence issue where she's starting to un-wind too early, and giving up her load before launch.

Yes, giving it up. I suspect arm action issues.

This is your daughter? This is the swing in question?

Big arm action in the swing. Not sudden.

I don't think she would have a chance on this pitch if her lead shoulder was any lower.

Valid point. I would like to see some swings on lower pitches to see how she moves.

Here's a pretty good swing on a high pitch. Her coil/load pulls her lead shoulder down and in (front side oblique scrunch), but she definitely has to get the lead shoulder up to adjust to location...

She does it well, not bad by any means.

She absolutely unloaded on that pitch! Has that one come down yet?

This clip she's abaf.. Shifting into a leveraged position (beating the pitcher to her position) would have helped.

Do you happen to have the full clip of Alo here?
