Looking for feedback on new pitcher

After taking the season off, we're back at it and hoping to be at a point where she can get some game time next spring.

First there is a lot to like...but you asked because you want her to get better so here goes.

Biggest thing I see is your front side resistance at release seems to be lacking, as well as the dragging anchor with the sideways turned back foot.

I would really focus on your posture and balance at release. You can see by the way she is following through the pitch versus simply fall back because she is not balance properly.

I'm going to post side by side stills with Amanda as the model pitcher so you can look at exactly what I'm talking about.

1) Front side is not resisting allowing all the motion to come forward
2) Back is starting to go past straight and forward (a result of not enough resistance)
3) Back foot is turned to the side dragging the ground versus turned with toe grazing the ground
4) Finally I'm going to let experts validate and I can't believe I'm even saying this because closing the door seems to be bad, bad, bad advice most of the time...but it looks like so is too open on her release and while we can't see from the angle my guess is it is impacting her ability to get proper brush interference (but maybe it is just the angle playing tricks on me), video from the back would validate whats really going on

Again validate all this input with what others say and take it or leave. and remember what I said up front there is a lot to like but there is always room for improvement.
