You have to be damn sure it is on purpose to eject .
In saying that the pitcher from NZ could pitch any spot asked for so it could well have been on purpose .
But girls HS ball . Are they that good?
Good enough to hit a batter?

Yes they are. Of course.

Is the coach telling a kid to hit them? I highly doubt it. They are usually teachers at the school and I doubt its done often.

If it were done, It would probably be more of a pitcher doing it on her own.

Eitherway though, every time there is a HBP thread the token "oh I warn then eject" posters jump on board.

Its absurd and OOO IMO. But I think its a show. If people are ejecting as much as some umps pretend to eject on this MB Im suprised any games get completed.
