I think the pitcher needs to respect the more experienced catcher in that situation. It’s one inning of a game where the outcome wasn’t in doubt. Just suck it up. If they ask her back and it’s a concern, then she should have a talk with the coach. I know how important a good catcher is for a team to be successful. She can make a good pitcher look great. However, the pitcher needs to learn to adjust. Make her take ownership of it. A pitcher isn’t going to improve if someone else is always to blame. What’s going to happen when she’s at a college camp throwing to multiple catchers? Good luck telling them it was the catchers fault she couldn’t hit her spots or she got lit up because they called the wrong pitches.
But in this case, the catcher wasn't interested in calling to the pitcher's strengths. And it seems that the catcher's HC knew that there was an attitude problem.
