98.2% of softball teams do not play enough games for stats to normalize, therefore they should not be give much credence in the decision making process. There can also be YUGE ($1 to Donald Trump) variations in the levels of competition a team will face that can skew the stats.

We have always made our game results and stats available to the team on Game Changer. It's another tool in the toolbox, nothing more nothing less. I would be concerned if I were a player or parent and could not see my stats (and the rest of the teams).
Most high level teams that I know of do this.

Depends on the age of the players but in general, they are the players' stats, no reason to hide them from the athlete. Most teams have several gamechanger/iscore books that allow other families to see them anyways. I think transparency is a good thing. With that said, the stats are only as good as the scorekeeper's knowledge of the rules of scoring (e.g. garbage in, garbage out). Lastly, if you have a difficult time explaining your coaching decisions with players and families, you probably shouldn't be coachiing as its part of the job.
