Coach Knight,
I saw mostly fastballs from the pitchers throwing high 60s and above. The better teams in the LLWS had at least one of those. We've faced the #2 pitcher from Conejo Valley a couple times recently, mid 60s at most, and he threw mostly fastballs, saving the curve for key situations. The most recent time we faced them I told my son to be aggressive and hit the fastball early in the count. It worked for him.

You get a fair amount of curves in HS but you generally get more in college based on my limited observations.
