This is only one shot,but it is near "launch" which is somewhat of a universal phase for rotational mechanics,and as much as kids vary swing to swing,most swings for a given hitter are surprisingly similar.

I have not seen any kid who pushes the swing or snaps the wrist or extends the arms prematurely look like this.If this is a typical swing for her,and she has good numbers,then she must be quick to the ball with good rotational mechanics to get from here to contact and have these results.I can't tell whether she is a handpath hooking type from this.I would be most interested in the frame or 2 just before this to see whether she got here with a static bat or one that is already turning.
