thanks but i havent even grown yet im still only 5'1 115 pounds.
not to bruise your ego, but the girl in the new bad news bears movie, age 12 was clocked at 70 mph.
Son don't get caught up in radar readings especially at such a young age. When I coached 12u AAU we had 8 guys that pitched. The mound was 50' and the bags 70'. On that team we had three guys that were 70-72 and the other five were mid 60's guys. We finished fourth in the Nation that year. Our #1 was cruising at 70-72 and hit 74 several times. I saw him at a camp this winter he is a rising Jr. He was 75-77 and has grown quite a bit. Another kid was there that played on that team but did not pitch and had a very average arm. He is also a rising Jr and he was 83-85. I think its great that you have a nice arm at 12 years old. But that is no indication that you will continue to be ahead of the curve. Your genetics and work ethic will make that determination. Good Luck
our mound is now 54 feet we have now moved back four feet, my team the falcons are going into the 14 yo division and were about to turn thirteen.
