I'm going to point you to a different Justin Stone drill and encourage you to start there (and also to do a search on this site for "stretch and fire" and read and learn all you can:

Her issue to me is clear. She thinks she needs to swing the bat by "swinging it" with her arms. She needs to power her swing with her lower body, creating torque as described in that video with her arms/bat being the end of the whip, not the engine of the whip.

Both great drills and will use them both to address her various issues. She has more of a forced opening of the hip, like he spoke of in the second video, which does nothing for creating torque. She was taught early to stress bringing the bat handle to the ball by her coaches and I think that is locked in her head as the first thing to do.

Small thing, but try and have her focus on "the pitcher" when she sets up on the tee as opposed to staring at the tee.
