Reply to "The average pitching speed at age X is this!"

We plan to gather enough data over the next 5 years in most every age group that it may actually be meaningful in some ways.

 

The numbers in the article were based on the kids the writer has seen.  So it is a very small sampling and explains why the range and growth numbers are what they are.

 

At the risk of sounding stupid, I never thought about the PG percentages using an earlier year velocity with a current year average.  Often wondered why some of the averages seemed so low.  Especially after watching so many kids pitch and seldom seeing a pitcher below the 50 percentile.

 

I think that is something we need to fix in order to provide a truer picture of what we are seeing.  It certainly can't tell us what the true average is of all 2016 grads that attend PG events, when we are using what many of 2016's threw in 2013 or 2014.  Need to check that with our tech guys.
