I realize that a team can’t have 7 pitchers. That being said, I found it unethical to cut one solely because he couldn’t evaluate her before October. She did meet with the athletic director the day after she was cut to ask for a release form so she could apply to other schools. The AD, after looking at the player’s medical file, told her the coach was wrong to have done that, and that she wanted to speak to him. The AD also said she could get her back on the roster to give her more time to be fairly evaluated. The player declined, as she felt the coach would hold it against her because she went to the AD, even though it was just for the release form, not to report him.
48 hours after being cut, she had emails out to coaches from other schools who had shown prior interest, and were a good fit for her academically. She was contacted within two hours of sending the emails, and will be transferring to one of those schools in January.
