My DD is struggling with the rise. Looking for feedback or tips that could help me get her on track.

Try a thumb-off grip and backchain with a feel for the ball rolling over the thumb/outside of the index finger:

I don’t see that on this video that the ball rises at all. Am I missing something?
 
I had an ump tell me this summer that the girl was throwing a rise ball. That the ball was crossing the front plane in the strike zone then it darted up and that’s why it looks high where the catcher was catching it. It could jump all the way to the face mask apparently. All you can do is smile sometimes.

They let umpires work games where their DD is pitching?
