My coaches are picking favorites?

I play for a 12U tournament team, and I usually play in the infield (3rd, 2nd, or short). However, at our tournament yesterday, I played ALL outfield for three games in a row. I'm not a bad outfielder, but my coaches know that I'm best in the infield and it's what I love to do.

Also, I'm batting 6th in the batting order out of an 11 girl team. I'm pretty sure I have the highest batting average on the whole team because I've only struck out once this whole season and when I hit it usually goes over the outfielder's heads.

I noticed that the girls who are getting my old positions are either coaches' daughters or girls whos parents are close friends with the head coach. And the girls batting early in the order are just the same! Even my parents have noticed it, but I'm afraid of starting a fight or something.

All the girls on my team are very nice, but I don't think that just because they have close connections with the coach meant that they should get to play the positions or bat where they WANT, but rather where they're BEST.

What should I do about this situation?
