I would definitely take her for a 12UB team, ifshe is willing to work. 12U is for developing players...and she can certainly develop into a very good player.
a) Hitting...she almost certainly has a mechanical problem. If she is willing to work, the problem can be eliminated.
b) Pitching...the other 12U pitchers do *NOT* have several other pitches. (Somewhere out there, there may be some 12U kid that can throw four different pitches, but in my 40 years of being around this game, I just haven't seen her yet.)
c) Base running...She has to get her head screwed on right about base running. Don't think about speed...your DD isn't going to grow wings. She should think about perfect form in running the bases.
Several coaches on this board could make her a very good player.
