That's exactly what I am telling you. Not trying. Not 1 gun has ever been around a 10yr old game Ive been to. Well, maybe a toy gun.
You can't be serious that LL kids do not wonder what velocity they or their teamates pitch at. Thats ridiculous.
No. Not ridiculous at all. A reality. You keep pounding the same drum and I keep telling you that not every kid in America cares how FAST another is throwing. Who cares for pete sake?!
As far as I can tell, from this board, that velocity is as much or more of a focal point than any other subject in developing baseball players.
You keep throwing the baby out with the bath water every time you reply back. Yes velocity is a well versed topic here on HSBBW, however, 99.9% of the time it's in the context of 16yr olds and up. And to narrow it on down it's more about those kids who are looking to finding a college after HS or players hoping to get drafted.
