First of all:
1. we knew my DD would not play or pitch all the time when we decided on her team.
2. we do realize the best players play
She has gone to more practices than most of the players, she works hard and she always has a good attitude at practice.
She is pretty much ignored when she is there (by the coach)
She is not the most athletic or skilled player by any means.
She cannot hit. We have taken her to several batting coaches and the concensus is that plate time is needed as most of tis is in her head....mechanics pretty good.
Her coach will not put her a bat because she cannot hit ....we are going in a circle with this one.
Second pitcher on team with little pitching time, but very good performance when she does pitch. She is a good pitcher. (45-47, hits spots extremely well, varies speed often and effectively) .. Pitcher #1 deserves to be #1.
Coach was told that my DD needs to pitch more by someone above him.
At practice she practices only in the outfield, no infield at the mound.
She catches outfield fine, good arm, knows where to throw when.
My biggest concern:
We have played some very weak teams. Several mercy by 10-12-15+ runs by 3-4 innings. The level of the opposition was very clear prior to creating line up.
Why are the least played players on the bench for these games?
Why is it necessary to pound a team like this and not play kids who sit most of the time?
Do we stay...or do we put her on a weaker team so she plays more?
