What is wrong with playing OF? It should not be looked at as a demotion. Who is gonna play SS when OP is pitching? 14U is still developmental years. Pretty rare to see a pitcher that also plays SS. My DD is a primary C, but is pretty much only playing 3rd this year. She could never play OF and would look foolish tracking fly balls. OF has a different skillset. Errors in the infield cost Bases, Errors in the OF cost Runs. Embrace the OF. College coaches do actually recruit OF players. OP DD needs to figure out if she is Primary Pitcher or a Primary fielder.
