How quick this gets put on the coach, and then we're all going to rush to do something about it. First off, he's made a decision based on what he has seen so far of her ability and has determined that she, at this point, is most valuable as a pitcher and not a hitter. Secondly, he sees an opportunity to bat someone else that may have similar batting skills, and yes, maybe even be better able to help the team. As a PARENT, raising a child, you explain this to her and get your butt out and work with her to MAKE HER BETTER. Then when she gets the opportunity, she may shine and get more opportunities. You are absolutely failing your daughter by trying to find her a team where she's allowed to play at whatever her level is , and not be expected to improve. AND BY THE WAY, every good team, even ELITE TEAM for the snobs, is ever changing and girls move up and down in the line-up based on their ability to excel and grow as players. PERIOD !!!
