The best fix for this lies with the 1b, and not the C, actually. The 1B need to make sure that she's squared up to the C, and giving a target well inside of the base path.
Correct setup or not, F2 (my DD, in this case) has to throw the ball in a place F3 has a chance to make a catch. Over F3's head and past F9 is not it. LOL.
It gets better. My 14U does it much less frequently than she did a couple of years ago in 12U

Good to know.
To the OP: if you study film or slo-mo video of the SS on a SB DP, you will see the necessary footwork involved. That is the first priority. The second is making sure that the transfer happens in the middle of the body, under her nose, however you want to describe it and not have the glove back at the ear as many coaches try to instruct. The transfer happens in the middle of the core with the front elbow pointing towards the intended target as well as the instep of the back plant foot on the throw. Once this pattern is established, it will inter-mesh with Wasserman's High Level Throwing Pattern and the front elbow will no longer need to be held high as your DD's brain will automatically go into scapula load even if the front elbow is down.
