Advice on swing

DD is 14. Natural Right handed hitter converted to lefty slapper at 10u. Trying to improve her power (regular swing) from the left side. Any advice on what to change/keep is appreciated.
Thanks!

Does she also play golf?

Yes but right handed

Do you have any similar clips hitting front toss? Front toss view from the tosser's point of view would be useful as well.

Looks like she probably has a real nice golf swing. She is very vertical like a golf swing instead of getting her torso to tilt behind at contact.

Notice how much her head sways backwards. I would work on FBC. Forward by coil and see if she can learn to scrunch the back side.

Not a bad swing, looks like a nice load and turn.however she is swinging down to the ball, she would probably hit the ball harder and straighter with a little more upward bat path.

I like her hand usage. I also like how your DD swings 'out from' her body.

DD shifts THEN swings instead of shift AND swing.
Like another posted comment needs to learn to FBC. Your DD 'stacks' on her rear leg instead of 'into' her rear leg as she coils by forward.
DD needs to work on her barrel path. I'm not familiar with slapping but, what I have seen it seems to have more of a flat to a downward swing at times. Your DD's swing path is 'flat'/ level to the ball. I prefer a swing path a little more upward and behind the ball. If that's the barrel path you are looking for then disregard.

Thanks for the help! It is very hard to get her regular swing to the level we want it and slap because she is a natural righty. If i put a wedge under her back foot would that help? Will self toss help with bat path? Thanks!

Normally I like line drives into the net. Seeing your DD's swing path I would have her hit Higher line drives into the net. First with more of an upper cut and behind the ball swing. Being a slapper I'm guessing this is going against what DD's 'normal' swing path would/should be. Try the Happy Gilmore drill to help with the flow of the swing. Again not sure if being a slapper and a 'hitting a way' is compatible as far as barrel path. JMHO.
