Most will not allow themselves to "tall and fall" into there legs without knowing where the pitch is going due to fear/anxiety. They either fall to late or to early.

Yes they need to be able to commit all the way..Most will not allow themselves to "tall and fall" into there legs without knowing where the pitch is going due to fear/anxiety. They either fall to late or to early.
And I'd disagree with you on this particular player. Exceptions to a general rule of thumb is still exactly that...exceptions.

I did not read five pages of threads,, she seems to have nice level bat path .. I would try and look for some drills that help with extension thru the ball (there are many online ) or you can direct message for suggestions (no professional ) just logged many hours with my daughter and paid attention during lessons to make sure when we worked on our own I could cement what they were preaching.. also I would use a plate when doing tee work and start with head facing the pitcher and track the ball in towards tee like live .. but the plate and tee position determines point of contact . inside out in front of plate , middle at front of plate and outside let get little deeper plus will help create the same position and stance. look at front foot . hard to say if she is pulling out with it or going straight to ball . I will say it seems like she has a quick bat,,, good foundation to begin with time effort and patience will certainly pay off for her,,, and the resources here in this forum are endless...best off luck
Are you suggesting that players that tend to get hbp are probably doing it right? My DD gets beaned a lot.Most will not allow themselves to "tall and fall" into there legs without knowing where the pitch is going due to fear/anxiety. They either fall to late or to early.

Well in that case Hughie Jennings should be the model for the swing followed closely by Craig Biggio and Don Baylor..
..At the end of the day a player needs to move out the same regardless of where the pitch is so yes, a player who does that will be more vulnerable to HBPs.
This guy? hbp 285 times. Yeah, he was pretty good.

Yes I know who Craig Biggio is...thanks.
Yes, most kids want to know where the ball is going before moving out. Becoming leveraged fyb is a vulnerable position.
