Reply to "Youth baseball age cutoff moves"

HotCorner,
I agree with you in general but you are only getting a 3 month age difference so you'll see at most a 2 or 3 mph speed increase in Bronco over what they are currently seeing.

In other words the kid who turns 13 on May 1st probably wasn't a low 70s pitcher the previous year as a young 12yo. Your low 70s pitchers with only a very few exceptions were probably August through November birthdays.

We have one kid this year just learning the game as a 14yo in Pony. Fortunately, he's on the same team as the league's high 70s pitcher. Even so, there are several mid 70s pitchers he'll have to face including one 13yo.
