Good observation, she initially learned HE but now throws IR.FWIW - please, I am not an expert - it looks to me like she is stuck between styles. As if she initially learned HE and then switched to IR.
Her setup, drive and timing look quite good but because she releases the ball with her butt out and to the left (HE) that causes her arm, and the ball, to go right, acting as a counterbalance to the leftside weight shift. My DD did the exact same thing with the exact same result and it wasn't until she fully undid her monkey butt training that it corrected.
Don't agree that she's closing her shoulder too soon. Keeping her shoulder open longer will make her more of an HE pitcher.
Tyler could also use better frontside resistance. In fact it may be easier to start correcting that and work backward.
Look at how the other pitcher finishes in video #3. She's got great reverse posture / frontside resistance.
