So when do you make that determination that the pitcher can't throw strikes so she can't pitch? Before the season? After the first game?
In my area they actually ask if you can pitch (and also if you can catch) when you signup. There is also a skills assessment on all players before the teams are divided up.
I understand that it isn't like that in everyone's rec league.
You just can't have a pitcher that can't throw strikes. I am not talking about a pitcher that can throw strikes and is just having a bad day. Game time is not the time to learn how to throw strikes. That would be the argument I would make.
I would also make the same argument for catchers. You have to actually be able to catch a ball as odd as that sounds.
