My daughter has a great stance and decent power. She does make a lot of contact, but has the tendency to straighten up during her stride. She then pulls the ball. What can I do to get her to lean into the pitch.

She could be tensing up too much during the swing. So in her stance, get her to move or sway around a bit to keep lose.
Another thing would be to get her to take her stance with a more forward lean in the upperbody, like Rickey Henderson.
