Seen this around the forum quite a bit lately and have to ask, what does your current pitching staff think about this statement? Could just be me, but it seems like it would be a slam at your current players.;&
I think teams should have something of a rotation. Depending on one pitcher is easy, especially if she is flat out dominant, but my dd's team this past summer had three fairly equal pitchers, and it worked out pretty well. There were times when the coach would go with the hot hand on consecutive games, but the competition and teamwork between pitchers was fun to see.

We've been seeing all these posts from teams looking for #1 pitchers. I really think that's coachspeak for 55 plus.
A pitching coach, who I respect greatly, tells me that the coaches reverence in Ohio for speed in the circle is what keeps Ohio lagging behind the leading softball states in the country.

That may well be Sammy, but why then are coaches continue to look for that flame-throwing #1, when not that many may be on the market at this stage?
Not sure I understand what you are asking. Maybe these coaches are trying to say that since they missed out on a top 5 draft pick (so to speak) they are now willing to guarantee a #1 spot to the next one they can get? And you know what happens when a travel coach starts making guarantees about positions and playing time...
Any pitcher wanting to progress to a more competitive team would be wise to avoid ANY coach who offers an automatic #1 pitching spot. Any reputable coach will only offer a roster position. Everything else is up to the player.
