My DD is a pitcher/2nd basemen. She tried out for her current team as such and was offered a position. Since that time she has played little in the circle and less at 2nd. She has been moved to the outfield recently. We have been told that this is because they have a "few" players that are too slow to play the outfield effectively. While my DD is as much of a team player as the best of them, she is totally frustrated after this weekends tourney. She pitched one game yesterday, 3 innings in a shortened run rule 11-1 game giving up just one hit, and then 1 inning today. In the 7 games we played this weekend she has played 100% of the time in the outfield when she wasn't pitching, which hasn't been much.
So we are planning on talking to the coach to ask him if this is just a temporary situation or a permanent move. Again, my DD is a 100% team player, that is why she hasn't said anything so far, but she isn't happy. Her pitching numbers are good enough to grant more time in the circle, and her infield performance is the same, yet she is parked in the grass.
