Cape Cod Mass.
Video from the 3rd base side would be helpful. It looks like she may be compensating for the contact. My feeling from looking at the video is that she has a posture issue, that she lands with her shoulders too far over her hips, not tilted back, and she's too open. This would cause the arm to come down into the hip. Another way to look at it is that she's employing her arm in the wrong way.

Update: After reading everyone's replies we've been working on fixing the things brought up.

Good news: no longer hitting hip, or at least not very often, velocity is good (62ish at lessons, has hit 64.. not really sure in game speed, probably a bit slower for the most part). looks dominant at times.

Bad news: Consistency is down. More walks, more wild pitches. looks considerably less than dominate at times.
