Do you think it was pitching in a game or pitching to hitters? When a pitcher goes from pitching to dad to pitching to hitters there is often a significant 'speed bump'. All of a sudden the target zone looks a lot smaller. Sometimes there is a fear of hitting the batter. If she lacks experience pitching to hitters get someone to stand in when you practice with her.
It often helps to label the two different motions. I use 'pushing' and 'whipping'. Then I'll ask, 'Are you pushing or whipping?' Sometimes in practice I will ask them to push on purpose. I also use 'old' and 'new'.
