I have noticed that my daughters rise ball spin looks the same as her screw ball spin. Does grip affects the spin? How can you get the spin closer to a bottom to top spin?

I think you can probably find some long threads on here on whether a RB can have bullet spin, back spin or somewhere in between. You are going to get a variety of answers and probably links to a few different top level pitchers with different spins. My DD used to throw 6-12 and it was probably 15 MPH slower than her FB so we gave up on that and have settled on an angled back spin that is probably 5-11 to 4-10. For my DD this spin is only slightly slower than her FB. If she is busy with games we don't focus on spin for a while she can get lazy and start throwing it with bullet spin and then we move in close and work on spin and back it out again and get back to it. But you should get lots of varying advice.

To me, I see DD throwing nothing more than a high fastball with a screwball spin.
