Was thinking about a post I read elsewhere and the guy was saying his dd had 4 or 5 pitches. I instantly had the goofy thought that my 9 yo has also mastered 4 pitches- too high, too low, too inside and too outside

LOL. IMO, you don't "have" a pitch until you can throw it, in a game, on any count, with reasonably consistent accuracy to the intended spot, and the pitch does what it's designed to do (curve, drop, etc). Until then, it's a work in progress.
I second this. Our goal is usually 8/10 in practice with a std deviation of accuracy (1/2 ball width around). In games it usually yields a overall 3rd-deviation and the desired results.
