Reply to "toss distance/ mph conversion"

I'm not a guru of anything. Anything I say or write is worth just as much as you pay for it. My take on it is that when your son puts his maximum effort into throwing, including a crow hop, etc. at just the right angle he is capable of reaching about 90 mph. Put him on the hill and he'd be throwing mid 80s but would have the potential to throw a pitch 89 or 90 mph if he was throwing as hard as he could, not worrying about control and everything clicked.

Also when you are throwing those types of distances even a light breeze can have a fairly significant effect so you have to be careful.

My 13yo maxes out at about 210' and maxes out at 69 or 70 mph on the mound. He throws mid 60s.
