The reason for 11 fastballs during that game was earlier in the tournament this particular team had beaten my nephews team. The first game pitcher only utilized his fastball and the team ripped the ball all over the place. My nephew decided to throw an abundance of change ups then curves/sliders and lastly his fastball was only thrown 11 times. Originally Posted by playball2011:

Did i happen to mention his fast ball is pushing 90 mph? He did however have a great game in a legion baseball tournament going 9 innings 136 pitches and only threw 11 fast balls.
Has he had offers, talked w coaches? Interesting that he's pushing 90 but only threw 11 FB. Why? Does he not have location?
Is his Legion coach calling pitches? If so I would ? Why he would want him to throw so few FB. Does he have great CU? Hope it wasn't 120t curve balls in one game.
