1. Why does Riley Boone often run forward in the batter's box when a pitch is thrown? Jayda Coleman sometimes does it, too. Doesn't this "change in perspective" make it harder to decide if the pitch will be a ball or a strike?

2. Many of the non-swinging strikes Cydney Sanders takes are over the inside edge. As the pitch is thrown, it appears she moves slightly inward toward the plate. Wouldn't that make the pitch appear that it's going to be inside and off the plate?

3. Why does OU take so many fat pitches early in the count? Surely the 'take' sign can't be on with virtually every 0-0, 1-0, or 2-1 count.

It's hard to disparage the job JT does as hitting coach, but those items puzzle me.
