sometimes she tends to fly open from the front side when it’s a live pitch
i think if you give the lower half the right job. The flying open should happen less often, better direction and stability should ensue bc of a resistant lower half.
Here’s a one arm drill for the top half that can help w flying off as well. For me being more ‘down to’ also keeps the the front side in longer.
I am no professional but a dad who has invested time and money with my daughter.. one of the best aides I bought for her that has helped create a more dominant back side is velopro harness. it is very insightful and gives instant feedback if not engaging backside . trust me the first time she tries it she will not like it as it is uncomfortable and truly points out insufficient backside. but stick with it and incorporate it with all drill and soft toss.. it also travels well.. we now have started to use on front side as well to keep stiff and on the backside to use lower half when long tossing to increase velocity .... well worth it in my humble opinion
Here is a tee drill Haley does. It’s part of other drills she does. Might not be what your looking for. Good luck

I think people have become overly obsessed with the back knee, confusing cause and effect. I never once in my hitting career had a swing thought that told me to drive the back knee. If anything I think she could push into her front leg more and The glute/hip/core action on the front leg forces the knee action on the back.
