I'd say arm barring or close to arm barring.
I'd also say drops hands and has a downward swing path.
Other swing issues but, you said:
Also who ever is pitching isn't doing your DD any favors by throwing the ball with the big loop in it. Try throwing the ball flat or on a upward projector y/path.

Is the green the outfield?

Actually Rdbass, I think this is a decent swing. The hands are a rotational point and they rotate pretty deep. The arm bar as well shows good connection to the body.
The swing is downwards toward the end.
Lets take a closer look at this swing.

Spartans,
Do you think there is to much of a loop in her swing?

Actually, first thing is to figure out how to coil around the rear leg using the rear side. The scap is second.
Ask her to try and coil around her rear leg just using her rear butt cheek. See, if she can create a bind in the rear hip. The rear leg should respond to rear butt cheek by trying to rotate toward the pitcher creating a stalemate.
Can you feel how much tension the rear leg is under?

There is no 'lateral tilt' like process in her swing. Core usage is minimal to non existent.

First need the right coil. Then you introduce tilt.

Agree with coiling forward as a first thing to work on. From there I'd work on the 'stretch', inclusive of taking the slack out of the core via pull backs. Had a hitter last night that despite doing this, could not get the feel to their bottom-hand ... so introduced the concept of extensor action to build the 'stretch' through the core, and to the lead-arm/bottom-hand. I don't personally agree with the scap pinch/clamp demo above where the action occurs within the stance ... but if that works for others then I'm pleased for them.
