The reason it is better to learn to throw hard before accuracy is simple. Yes it is important to throw accurate but the minute you get accurate and try to speed it up you will then loose accuracy because of the change of arm speed, the strength of leg drive both will change the timing of the release point, resulting in throwing balls over your catcher's head. With the proper mechanics of throwing hard first your muscle memory will kick in to find the release point.

@allie1ful

If accuracy came first then you'd worry the whole time about if your going to get a strike or not It's best to sling it in there and hope for the best even if you mess you'll scare the sh!t outta them. Now, you tell me? Is it better for you to throw about 25 and having strikes (most of them would be able to hit it) Or sling it in there. & plus it builds up muscle tone too. So then you wont be weak throughout the softball season. Trust me if my coach hadda pick between 2 hed pick speed

Wrong. Control First.

Speed before accuracy ALWAYS. The faster you get, the better mechanics you get, then the accuracy comes. PERIOD. And whoever you are saying you're throwing 80-85mph, you're a retard. Jennie Finch doesn't throw 80 .....

When U first start pitching work on your accuracy first but dont do u full wind up just do a half pitch then when u are releasing at the right time then throw in your speed and it will help u throw strikes. Promise that is what i did and now i am throwing at thirty miles an hour maybe in seventh grade and all of them are really close to the strike zone or they are a strike!!
