My $0.02...which is about all that it is worth
Does she project to always be small, or does she still have a lot of growing left to do?
12U-14U there can be a huge disparity between players level of maturity - things level out @ 16U.
Amanda Scarborough was 5'6" and was phenomenal. Kylie Bass at UGA is 5'0"
Does she have a passion for pitching? If she is not passionate about it, her interest will wane.
Does she have the mindset of a pitcher? Does she become rattled easily?
Is the family committed to making her the best pitcher she can be - lessons, bucket time?
If the passion is there, and the family is committed, she needs to get on a team where she is the #1 or #2 pitcher.
Being the #1 or #2 on a B-level team that plays up is better for her development than being the #4 on an A-level team playing OF.
If she has desires to play in college she has plenty of time to develop into an A-level pitcher by 16U.
