I had this sitch last year under ASA rules. After the third dangerously hardthrown and wild HBP in eight or ten batters, I told the coach (pitcher's mother) that one more HBP would result in pitcher's ejection for malicious contact / unsportsmanlike conduct, in that she was intentionally throwing faster than she could control. Maybe a stretch, but it was a safety issue to me, and within (my interpretation of) the rules. Coach objected, but had her pitcher concentrate on location rather than speed, and no more HBPs.
