I am new to this so please try not to slam me too much.
My daughter is a 10u pitcher. She is very good at locating her spots with the fastball. She just changed pitching coaches and he changed the way she throws her change-up, so she is still struggling with location, speed and disguising it. The previous pitching coach taught her the screwball and the new one is in the process of teaching her the curve and the drop. I am not saying that she can throw any of these on a consistent basis. I understand that even if she throws them correctly they don't move much becuse she doesn't have the speed. But is there any harm in teaching her the mechanics of these pitches?
She is not the fastest pitcher, but she averages 1 walk every 2 games and has only hit 4 batters this year. She does not have the most k's. She has picked up speed with the new coach.
