The 12U pitcher has only 1 pitch and struggles to get it in the zone somewhere. What signal does she need to take?

If the issue is to prevent the "run & shoot" style of delivery, establish a rule to deal with that.

They did. It's the rule that requires the pitcher to take or simulate taking a signal from the catcher.
