Ihave converted my girl from weight transfer to rotational but i never thought about her distance from the plate.When she was a weight transfer hitter she could reach the outside pitch from a distance well off the plate.When she converted over I didn't think to move her closer(4-5")to the plate.She was making contact but was hitting a lot of grounders.I had her move closer and she is back to hitting liners no matter where the location of the pitch.Why does the distance from the plate make a difference from one method of hitting to the other as it seems to in this case?
