Reply to "13 Year Old Pitching Distance"

redbird510,000+ posts

We have played nothing but 60/90 as 13U's this year. Most of the time we played up against 14U's. We did not see any negative effects of playing that distance. We also were the only 13U team we saw swinging -3's as well.

Our focus has always been on preparing our kids for HS baseball and 60/90 (in our opinion) accomplished this much more than 54/80 would have.

Also, I disagree with the effectiveness of the FB at 60'. While we never had a dominant pitcher, we won over 75% of our games against 14U's throwing 95% FB and CU. In over 1/2 of our games our pitchers didn't even throw a CB.
