I disagree, just because some of the best change ups ive seen, the ball was no where near the bat.

You must be real fun at parties.
And unless you know a rule about the ball needing to be in proximity to the bat it doesn't matter.

On the other hand, if one of my players did this on her own, I'd be happy. I'd be happy because it shows she's thinking about the game and how to best help her team win (let's pretend this is a key situation and not a game we're up or down by 10). I'd appreciate just how heady the play could be. I don't think it's bad sportsmanship. In theory, the defense would still have a chance to get her out anyway.
knew she could probably get on base and loved running.
My 7 YO did this at 10u ALL the time. Drove me nuts but 40 games in we looked at GC and between these, walks and getting hit she lead the team in OBP by a LONG way. Only had 3 true hits all year but was always the kid crossing the plate. One day I flipped at her for swinging at garbage and later she told DW why she was swinging- because she knew she could probably get on base and loved running. (FACEPALM).
Ha! I love it.
That's an incredible acumen for the game at that age. Obviously that plan doesn't work at higher levels when fewer and fewer pitches hit the dirt, so hopefully she doesn't rely on that crutch forever. Still, it's impressive she figured it out and took advantage.
