What does she do in school? Is she on varsity? Does she experience the same dynamic? Finishing out her school career could get her "well rounded" point in a college admission scenario. Honestly my kid was the same way except for the fact she just wasn't that good...she was the JV captain and MVP but come her Junior year when coach wanted her to go play Varsity she just said no....if you let me I'll play JV but otherwise no, her JV coach really lobbied for her cause he loved her a lot so she played JV her junior year then hasn't picked up a softball since.
In the end the decision can't be about a scholarship if she doesn't want to play she would just be miserable. It's already like a job while in school for those that love it can't imagine what it would be like if you didn't. If she does really crush the ball like you say my guess is any college coach would keep her around as long as she wasn't toxic which it doesn't sound like she is just more aloof.
The pick up idea isn't a bad one actually it lets her focus on getting better but not have to deal with all the team dynamics, not sure I'd spend the money for "national" type team but if one of those teams home base isn't too far it could work although that would probably mean you needed to be in Ca, TX or FL.
These are all things she just has to figure out does she really dislike softball or just all the drama around it? If she just is really not interested at all in softball go down to your local golf course and see if you can get the pro there to get her a package deal for 4 or 5 lessons to see if she likes it
