Build resistance into the swing.
Not picking on OP but I find the, "can't hit slower pitching" comments amusing as I hear it all the time as a coach from parents. You can't hit the faster pitching because it's 5MPH faster than everyone else. You can't hit the slower pitching as your timing is off.

Dad, are you saying that she can time up slow pitching, slow front toss, etc when practicing, but can't do it in a live game? No timing problem with slow pitch drills at practice, but way out front in a game? If so, how does she do on the first few slow pitches during practice? Does it take her 2-3 pitches to calibrate during drills and THEN doesn't have any problem with timing?
My DD uses slower pitchers as a day of practicing hitting the change up

(... go with the outside pitch, etc.?)In the games, she is batting 3 or 4 in the order and knows the pitcher is throwing slow... (so) she tends (tries) to hit the ball out front a bit or pull an outside pitch. She (chooses to) hits 'not like she normally does.'
