I don't completely agree with this being an all-back/all-forward movement. Her hands are coming up and back as she is striding forward, and her hands aren't coming forward until after heel plant. What we usually see in an all-back/all-forward movement is the hands and stride both moving forward together. In that regard, I think this hitter is at a good starting place.
A do agree that the video has some helpful information.
I also agree that the weight shift over the outside of the rear foot is an issue. The pressure against the ground should be on the inside edge of the rear foot, with the knee staying ahead of (towards the pitcher) the ankle.
On second look she does reach back as she goes forward with stride foot, I still see the sequence as off but maybe it just looks funny because her weight is still all back. I would focus on posture so she is balanced and then reassess sequence. I put stills at heel plant and its not as bad as I thought except for posture.
