OP,
This is a great time to teach your DD the very important lesson of learning the strike zone is not static but is umpire specific. It will drive the “rule followers” crazy that umpires do this.
Kids often have a very difficult time accepting this and many times they get hung up on it and feel helpless. That is what you have to address and get them back in control. Lots of practice hitting “bad” pitches so they have confidence to attack anywhere. The 2nd part of this is to teach them to be picky and look for a good pitch until they get 1 strike on them, then it is wide open and survival time.
