I would also suggest that in addition to absolute age, one take into account the kid's voice (high/low) and the coarseness of his whiskers. If seen 15yo's with full beards singing backup to the Oak Ridge Boys and I've seen others who shave by having their cat Whiskers lick their chin and may still have a shot with the Vienna Boys Choir. I'm thinking something around 17 is when much of this truly equalizes. As for the speeds for the 11-13 group, I'm not sure this matters at all. I think the best pitchers at that age are the ones who seem to have a knack for pitching - who have no problem with a kid crowding the plate or having a runner on first.
