Perry Husband has some interesting stuff about pitch tunneling. Mostly for baseball, but he has started discussing it for softball, too.
He advocates sequenced tunneled pitches to have a speed differential of at least 7-8 mph, if my memory isn't wrong. Hence why a tunneled sequence of rise ball/change up can be so effective. There's both a vertical change of location and serious change of speed to deal with.
