I know its the wrong forum to be having an in depth hitting discussion, but, briefly, slam that back elbow down in to the slot and see where your hands are relative to your toes. I bet they are a whole lot closer than you thought they were. Granted, there has to be a slow down of hip rotation and some casting to reach that outside pitch, but DD's swing would be beyond absurd using Mike's 20 inches from one side of the plate to 10 inches on the other.
Do some google searches for "hitting casting problems" or go to my favorite batspeed.com for in depth hitting discussions.
I'll see about the youtube. Might be a fun summer project.
