I think if you calculated her wOBA (using run expectancies in the formula tailored for OU) that would tell you if it would be a good idea to walk her every time it is possible (eg not possible when the bases are loaded in the bottom of the 7th and the game is tied..).

For baseball and their relevant run expectancies, anything more than a wOBA of around 0.690 means that a hitter's bat is doing more damage than an intentional walk would.

As a reference, the highest wOBA in MLB history was 0.597 by Babe Ruth in 1920 (which used league average run expectancies, not ones tailored to that Yankees team).
According to this (which used league averages I believe not sure how much it would change with OU stats) , and my above comment, yeah don't pitch to her :ROFLMAO:
