Draw a plate out on your desk. Point of plate pointing at you the PU. Measure 4 inches in from the left side. That is going to be the outside edge for lefties for your strike zone. Do the same on the right side. That is the outside edge for righties.

So, you want to narrow the strike zone by 8 inches? Yeah, just what this game needs, more boring walks.

The existing inside edge of the strike zone is where you currently have it.
This change compensates for the additional width of the softball, allows the batter to still use a semblance of form in getting good contact on the ball, yet keeps all other aspects of the game the same.

The strike zone now and always has allowed for the width of the ball. You have not discovered anything new here. And if you DD cannot hit the pitches called strikes, she needs someone to teach her how to hit because they are very hitable pitchers.
