NBD, She has a great foundation, kudo's to you and her PC, oh and "her"
Yes, her drive foot is leaving the ground, that would be a good area to start with. In the house over the winter, she can do the paper pull drill or the dish towel pull drill where she places her drive foot on a piece of paper or a dish towel then drives out trying to keep the toe in contact with the paper/towel and continue to pull it forward with the drag.
As far as her shoulder push, very typical for her age and strength. It could be something she can work with releasing a nerf or sock ball into a wall at close range, getting confidence in the whip.
Again I agree on the spots, come up with some games--
*I use a 3-2-1 game on 5 spots. 3 tries to hit all spots, what you don't hit, now you have 2 tries to hit them, whatever is left you get one try. When she can do them all in the 3x's around, drop the 3.
*K a batter with spots-Start with low inside, if it hits, it's a strike, if it misses, it's a ball, move onto next spot-high inside, repeat. Try and K the batter with 3 strikes before she throws 4 balls.
Work on the change-up SELL! Give her about 10 pitches where she can mix up fastballs and changes. She doesn't tell you what she's throwing. You try and see all those little things that give the change-up away. Tell her what you see. Her final goal is to sell that change-up to you. You catch her more than anyone. If she can sell it to you, she'll sell it to anyone.
Keep working on the drop.
Tons of encouragement..she's awesome!
