The finishing motion has made positive improvement she is standing much taller and is not bending at the waist. Also overall she is doing fine just remember this is a process, it's a marathon not a sprint, it's about ingraining the muscle memory of what the correct mechanics are so she can repeat them and also self identify when things are not right.
Now for the top three things that I think need to be addressed, I'm not a pro so I will let others help with what is most important and drill to help work on them:
- She still has a locked arm on the way down. It needs to be bent to get the best whip. Also does not look like her hand is under the ball.
- Next as you can she from same stills is her back leg, it is an anchor through the whole pitching motion, her goal should be laces towards the catcher but she will see a big improvement if she can just make sure her heel is off the ground after that it will let her back half follow through much more naturally right now her back half rotation is too late actually after the pitch is released. Have her stand just like she is in the picture them have her lift her heel and turn her laces to the catcher she should feel her whole back side (hip) release.
- Finally as Man10 stated she really needs to work on driving off she is really just stepping of right now. Working on getting the knee up and out first as Man10 suggests is right on target
