As a coach there are two positions on the field and one spot in the lineup that I absolutely don't want a player that doesn't want to be there. Pitcher, catcher, and lead off hitter. To me those take a special makeup. If I had a player that didn't want to pitch I would definately want to know about it. However as a 7th grader the player needs to tell the coach not the parent.

As a parent I hate my son pitching. I've hated it since he was 8 and threw his first pitch. Unfortunately at 8 when he threw that first pitch something clicked in him and there is no where in the world he would rather be than on a pitching mound.
