You could be right.

I'm still not sure what caused my torn hip labrum (but I was 36). I actually think it was an injury from ice skating 7-8 years earlier that just got worse and worse (without me knowing because I never had pain) until one day I couldn't really run anymore.

It could just be pitching. We don't necessarily have to call it overuse. It could just be doing it over and over again. Some bodies can handle certain repetitive actions more than others. Maybe she had a slight mechanical inefficiency that led to it. Maybe it was overuse.

I don't know that weight training would affect the labrum. It's not a muscle.

Perhaps not directly, but increases in muscle mass and power will put additional strain on tendons and even bone. It happens to NFL players frequently.
