My daughter (16) is having a severe loss of power due to her front shoulder and hips opening up to early. Yes she develops excellent bat speed and can hit a fast pitcher(60+MPH)fine (left field side)but, struggles with the slower pitchers usually hitting off the end of the bat or striking out due to being ahead of the ball. I have closed her front foot during stride & started her hands back a little more but to no avail - she swings a 33 oz composite bat. Is there anything i can work with her on to keep help with this?
