Video is your friend.
The still shot shows quite a bit of posture inbalance just prior to release. Even with a strong plant, if she continues with a 45-degree rear tilt, her weight/momentum shift back around the right hip could be a struggle, robbing her of efficient energy transfer.
Is her glove hand powerful on the downswing, creating a contrasting negative force which will help with that transfer?
Does she always throw a 2-seam rise?
Here's a clip that you can contrast your daughter's attributes with. One of the very best riseball pitchers when he was in his prime during the 90's & 00's.

The toe doesn't bother me. I've seen that body tilt/lean on the riseball in a lot decent pitchers. If it wasn't for video it would pass unnoticed.
