Looks like she is doing real well. A couple minor things to me. More of a step/reach forward as she could get a little better forward by coil. The other thing is with the tee so far forward it should be easy to release the barrel head through the ball yet she doesn't let her back arm extend all the way.

Your DD's stretch is in the wrong place. Her stretch is from the front leg/foot to her hands that her reaching back.

Your DD needs the stretch in the SCRIP (scap and hip)

She has successfully added more power. Do you see any more power leaks? https://youtu.be/LkYx2kgLvms Thanks

I like this swing up until this point:

Then the hand set goes a little high and pushes back and up further than I would like to see. Not going to generate more power this way. Makes for a long swing. Seems hitters seem to do this off a tee.

JMHO.

So is she not walking away from her hands, or moving them back at the wrong time? (Or something else entirely?)

So what does she need to feel to get it right?

With the stretch felt here:

Not this stretch that your DD is getting now. Seems to be independent lead leg reaching out/stretch. DD's 'yellow line' would stretch from her front foot to the bat/barrel. Not where Bonds 'stretch' is.

She needs to have every available resource to react and whip the barrel.. IOW's she's moving out dynamically and realizes the pitch isa fb up and in, she wants every available resource to barrel that pitch (including the front side) vs wait for the rear side only to direct and whip the barrel.
