I like the leg kick, but she is not getting the benefit from it because she lacks a sequence right now. She has what I would call a gate swing. When she loads back, her hands go back and when she goes forward her hands and bat start forward.
Watch the Bautista video carefully, or better yet, any Miguel Cabrera video on here. When he strides forward his hands are still loading until toe touch. That is what you want to practice with her. Coiling forward as the hands are being loaded (a sequence). The front shoulder should be lower than the back shoulder at toe touch. I would practice this off a tee until she gets that right. Walk in drill is great for getting the feel of this. Then progress to front toss.
