Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

My 12 yo daughter is in a bit of a slump. She's still hitting the ball but not as well as she had been. From April thru early June she was a 750+ hitter with at least one extra base hit per game and no K's. In early June she broke a bone in her foot and couldn't get back in the game till mid July. When she came back, her first practices and games indicated she was picking up right where she left off.

Now she's closer to 300, she's not hitting the ball with as much power and she's struck out a couple times where the pitching wasn't any more challenging. One of her new coaches said he doesn't know what's up. He knows she can hit with power to all fields, but he's not seeing it in games. Since then, she's not even hitting well in BP .

I had her work with the pathfinder on the bag which revealed no CHP which explains the drop in power.

Her season is almost over and she has a break of a few days before her next game so I want to take advantage and work with her. I would like to see her finish the season strong - any recommendations on a speedy recovery?
