Improving strength for batting

Question
My daughter is 16 and is a high competitive softball player.  Her downfall is the need for more strength at the plate.  Needs to power it through a little more.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Hey Lorne,

One of the best things that you can do for your daughter is get a medicine ball (4-8 pounds) and work on rotational movements - twisting lunges, standing twists, rotational throws, etc...  This will help develop the rotational power necessary to bring the bat through the strike zone faster.
