The Crazy Train
1) Start in her stance with the bat laid back at more of an angle. This will increase her ability to get the bat straight to the ball. Right now, through mechanics, she is slowing that down by having to make a move to flatten it out just before swinging forward.
2) Get the elbows out away from her body. Not a lot but more than she is here. She looks too tucked in and it will slow her down when turning on the ball.
3) I am not sure about feet as others have mentioned. This is different for different players. Probably could be a little wider and more athletic. How much more apart though is anyone's guess? She should try different things.
I did like the suggestion to look at others and mock it up a bit. Let her see what she can try and maybe it will change some basic things and then come back and ask for more details. There are some people on her who are super "geeky" about the details of the swing. This is by no means a bad thing at all. I like to read their comments as it is all great.
