Looking for opinions, maybe some parents here already went through this. My daughter is 12 and, being very honest, is a mediocre pitcher. Decent control, decent changeup, does not throw very fast. There are better pitchers in our area who, most likely, will be ahead of her on the mound when they all get together in high school. So my question is, are we wasting our time working on pitching? We could be utilizing that time on her hitting and her fielding. She is hitting well, hits left handed and is fast and on the smaller side. She plays second base and outfield pretty well. What does she want to do you ask? Well she pretty much goes with the flow and trusts her dad. If I keep encouraging her to pitch she will, if I discourage pitching, she may stop (not 100% sure about that). She is a pretty good pitcher for our rec league but very mediocre in travel ball situations.
