I would never want my dd to be on a team at 12U with more than 12 players. Where does she like to play when she isn't pitching? Will she have that opportunity on either team? It woUld definitely depend on where they tell you she is in the rotation. And even better than being told is feeling sure about it. 3 and 4 don't seem to see much time. Like others have said, pitchers need to be in the circle.
