First thing that jumped out to me is that at the very beginning of her drive, her right (stride) leg, instead of driving straight to the catcher, kind of swings to the outside.

That rotational momentum carries into her landing, pulling her left hip behind her into the position we see at the finish in Ken's post.
You can see that left (drag) foot angle grooved into the turf - looks like a straight line instead of the more expected 'Nike swoosh' looking drag.
These issues are like dominoes. Start with the first one, fix that and see what's next. My first cue would be think knee the catcher straight up under the chin (as opposed to the slight roundhouse kick action). See what happens next.
I suspect though the reason she developed this roundhouse kick is because someone's telling her to get open and stay open through the throw. In which case.... I either convince you that's not correct or I can't help any further.
Her upper half looks pretty solid. It's drive issues at work here.
