I agree with you on a pitcher needing more than speed. My DD does not have great speed, but her junk pitches are really good! Unfortunately, speed is the first thing a lot of coaches notice! When we traveled over the summer/fall, she had a teammate that had a really good fastball and a changeup and the other teams rocked her! The key is keeping the batters off balance by throwing a lot of different things at them. Just a thought.
