A few years ago at the ASA National UIC Clinic they presented a study about that "outside" pitch.
I believed they used a 14-16 yo. Positioned in the center of the BB, she solidly hit the pitch approx. 6" outside the plate.
Have your DD stand in the middle of the BB. That should put her toes about 20 inches from the edge of the plate. Even if her wrists only reach the edge of the BB, there is still 10" of that 33" bat beyond the far edge of the plate. And that is if she is just standing there. She strides into the pitch, there should be no problem getting the sweet spot outside of the plate.
And those pitches are more hitable than the high and low corners which is why umpires pick it up, push it down and take it out.
