Interesting to see what she is doing with her change her arm is completely straight and hand/ball down but on other pitches she is very slight bend (she needs way more) and third base facing (ok) vice model pitcher

At release I see the front side
pulling her upper arm/shoulder.
pulling her pivot drive leg.
I see Osorio's back side driving into her front side, not being pulled, if this makes any sense.
Here's my .02 FWIW.

In addition, I agree with Ken. She hasn't figured out arm whip. She's trying to throw with her upper arm / shoulder versus her lower arm.
When her stride leg touches down, tell her to try and firm up her upper torso and head and drive her back side hard into the front. Think of an accordion, the back driving this way -----> <----- the front driving this way.
Don't mean to side track this at all, but I think it's pertinent. What do you guys think about the possible relationship with the front foot being pointed more forward and the struggle with getting enough front side resistance. This is something I'm working on my own DD who gets squishy and doesn't get great brush. My theory I'm working on is if it's harder to firm up with knee point more toward catcher and if the foot pointing more toward the catcher is also forcing body closed sooner and decreasing brush . . . still a work in progress, but these comparison shots were interesting along with my thinking.
And on a complete side note, starting out a full 8 inches in front of the rubber is nice if you can get away with it
