This is my DD and she has been playing tournament ball for about 4 years now. Recently, I noticed she has been hitting the top of the ball a good bit causing the ball to usually one hop right back to the pitcher for an easy out. I recorded this a few weeks back and 2 things stand out to me. 1) looks like she is rotating her wrist too soon in her swing causing the bat to rise just enough to make contact with the top of the ball and 2) It looks like she is losing power due to not following through maybe(?). I'm not sure but I have very limited knowledge in this area and I was hoping someone could offer some suggestions/drills to get her swing back where it needs to be. She is a pretty strong kid but has never really had them big hits that other smaller girls can produce. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.
Also, it looks to me like about 3/4 through her swing her left arm is locked out and pointing straight to the ground. Could this be where she is losing power? I cant tell if this is one problem causing other problems or if this is multiple problems that is unrelated.

(It's easier to see if you slow it down to .25 speed)
