Would your DD seriously consider quitting the sport if she seriously injured (i.e., season-, career-, life-altering/threatening injury) a pitcher with a batted ball?
I already know the answer. My DD hit 4 pitchers with liners last season. 1 in the ankle, 1 in the thigh (removed from the game and out for 3 weeks), 1 in the ribs (removed from game) and the scariest one I've ever seen hit a girl under her mask. The girl lifted her chin and barely got her hand up. DD ran to first and took a knee. After we checked the pitcher my DD went and made sure she was ok but really hasn't slowed her at all. It's part of the game.
Better question might be hurt any player not just the pitcher.
