Let her warm up. I understand your coach's position; a hard throw in that inning could hurt her.

I was a FP pitcher back in the early 60's and I remember that when I fielded a ball back to me (bunt or hit) I usually threw it to 1B underhanded. I had no clue where an overhand throw would go, and if I threw it hard it usually hurt.

When I work out with my granddaughter during the off season and we finish pitching and switch to some fielding drills, her first throws are always warm-up type throws. She is suddenly using different muscles that are not stretched.
