She has a lot of the attributes required for a good drop. Her spin axis is 12/6 based on the tape on the ball I am seeing. She appears to have a fairly high release point and she is throwing a decent release angle.....two other attributes that are important are speed and spin rate......do you have either of those measures?
Her ball is definitely dropping nicely, but my eye test suggests that she is not throwing it very fast.....so in that case, gravity has a lot of time to pull the ball down. If this pitch were 60 mph and dropping like it is in this clip then she would have a phenomenal drop.....if it is 50 mph then most of the drop is due to gravity.
Is spin rate important....yes, but on a dropball it is not nearly as important as her release angle/release point.
As she picks up speed don't be disappointed if the ball doesn't drop as much......again, it is a function of speed/time for gravity to pull it down. With the attributes she is currently displaying her dropball will break later/sharper as she picks up speed.....all good things.
