At What Point Do You Approach the Coach?
. +1 I recommend our pitchers at this age to do the same: play with a team to develop other positions, keep working to earn any circle time they can and also join a rec team where they can pitch to their heart's content.- Happy Dad

Pulling a kid mid inning
I once pulled my entire infield (sans P and C) during a scrimmage to make a point about them not 'talking it up.'

Not sure what to do! Swearing coach...
