I would study hips forward as the hands go back. Just like throwing. Work on that sequence for hitting
Try to keep th weight inside the back leg. Never over top of it

You could try a small medicine ball. Something she could handle. Load step out and throw.
Have her feel throwing with the upper body only..... no power.

Then have her thrust her hips...Lower body leading the upper body and the lower body grabs the upper and slings the medicine ball way farther. This would be the right way

Just work on that motion a few sessions, then just give her a bat and hit some.
