Reply to "13 Year Old Pitching Distance"

Call it as you see it10+ posts

I've umpired many AAU 13 games at both the 54/80 and the 60/90 distances. The biggest difference is the speed of play. It takes forever for the players to throw across the diamond, make the run to first, etc. The change is especially big when going from the 12 year old distances. Given your son's size another year of progression wouldn't hurt. Maybe a year at 54/80 would be a good lead in for the full size diamond. Good luck.
