Cori HR ball/strike counts
I took a quick look at ball/strike counts when Cori slams a home run this year.
Perhaps some tendencies would show up for her 19 HR.
Not surprisingly data shows she homers mostly early in the counts
Some other trends:
13/19 hrs with less than 2 strikes
10/19 hr with 1 or 0 balls
5/19 hr on first pitch
1/19 hr on full count
1/19 hr with 3 balls (same hr as full count)
6/19 hr with 2 strikes
Data shown below in chronological order top (1st) to bottom (19th)

giving up a dinger at 0-2 is tough**

What makes it difficult for our opponents with Cori batting leadoff is that

She is only guaranteed to be the leadoff one inning**

But likely she will get an extra bat/game on occasion. See Stanford Game 3**

Correct, but my point was that you don't want to start the game with a walk
