Watch Trout and how he doesn’t sway back in his load. The angle of his back leg and the ground stays roughly the same where your DD shifts back and posts her back leg 90 degrees

Somebody has told her not to drop her back shoulder. She artificially keeps her back shoulder high and does not let the rotation of her torso around her spine.
When I see an elbow up that high I am always on the lookout for a particular grip flaw. Her knuckles are not aligned properly. Her punching knuckles are lined up or are closely aligned, ideally you want the doorknocks lined up with the other hand punchers, or less. Try it yourself, grab a bat and line up the punching knuckles, when you swing it you will see how awkward it feels and how it causes you to roll over early. The elbow itself is not the cause but it predisposes a hitter to take a grip with the knuckles lined up incorrectly (and grip too much in the palm). There are plenty of videos on how to grip a bat, find one and try it.
