I remember when people preached starting from the ground up to fix the swing. Doesn’t work very well.
Then put the bat in their hand and pull the elbow up/back a tiny bit. It's almost impossible to drag when the arm is already in that position in load.
You need video from the first base side. 'Bat drag' means the hands are behind the back elbow.
But, I can tell from this you need to do as I suggested.
1) She waits until the ball is halfway before she 'strides' (it's way, way too late then - the front foot MUST be down when the ball is halfway - .400 sec for pitch, .200 sec for 'swing')
2) When she strides, she opens her hips, when she should be closing them.
3) This almost always causes bat drag
Please stop doing 'drills' to fix this. It will just make it worse.
Most people misunderstand the point of 'elbow up' and think you are supposed to do this in the stance. It's actually counterproductive for many/most kids. When you coil/load you want to move your arms. If they are already in the right place, then you end up moving them somewhere else.
I would simply ignore where the hands/elbow are in the stance.

Here is some video from the side from a month and half ago. This was the drill she was doing, and then just me pitching with whiffle softballs at the end.
I think the volley ball is to much. You TTB, creating force on the handle and not trying to apply force into the ball/contact.
And I don’t see bat drag.
