All depends on the kid. If your DD throws hard it's speed, if not, location. If she can't do either its spin.
speed.
because it seems everyone asks "how fast"?
and never what is your rps, or can you hit the broad side of a barn.

We have a pitcher that trys to overpowers batters. She is good.
DD nibels, she will not throw a strike unless she needs too.

Its called "FastPitch" for a reason. So speed would be the first choice, however not the strongest choice. Location would be the strongest of the three options. Movement or AKA Spin will become one. Once you mastered a drop or curve, your location will be on point.
So fire, earth, wind, water, and heart will form Captain Planet or a good softball player.....

I had to look up who Aroldis Chapman was..How many golden gloves did he win?
Greg Maddux won 18 golden gloves..
Its not about speed.
Slower pitches keep the ball in the park, slower pitches with movement cause fly outs or ground outs...
slower pitchers are not the "Ferrari's" of the game though..mixed speed and movement wins games.
Nut shell version:
-Strong/efficient drive
-Good whip
-Good posture
-FSR
"Good form" makes speed and control much easier. When speed and control are easier, spin and locating spin are also easier.
Depends on the age group. location 10u . 12u 14u speed. 14u and up Hope tp have all of the above.
At 14u - a little reckless speed can be great, as long it is all around a big strike zone.
