60 yd dash

That certainly sounds above average to me.What age group?My son's team is 15u, & have maybe 4 under 7 sec.

We are predominantly juniors and seniors. As a 15u team, having even one kid under 7 seconds is very fast, what team does your son play for

Richmond Braves National '10

I am 16 and play for the NY Nine. The times listed above were as follows-

6.96- MIF- Senior
6.93- OF- Senior
6.88- OF- Junior
6.85- OF- Junior
6.79- MIF- Senior
6.71- P- Senior
6.68- MIF- Junior
6.61- MIF- Sophomore
6.46- OF- Senior

lololololololol on all of these sub 7 second times for 15 and 16 year old kids.

Next thing you know, someone will announce a 4 man rotation in high school with everyone cruising at 95-97 with a few topping 105.

Get real.

I bet you give defenses a heck of a time with all that speed.Did you(or your teammates)gain much speed from your freshman to Jr.,Sr. years?About how much time did you knock off your 60 as you filled out.

Beenthere....not exaggerating.Fastest kid on the team ran a 6.61 in Aug.on grass!He won't turn 15 until Jan.Boy can just flat out run.Two others were in the 6.9's,& 2 more 7.0-7.1.This team draws top talent from the entire state of Va.

BeenthereIL- I didn't believe it at first either but the Richmond Braves program is outstanding so even though it's a stretch, that sort of thing is believable in a program like that.

3up-3down- I didn't really know any of my teammates when they were freshman. I have gained a half second on my 60 and I'm just starting a full workout program just because my body filled out better. In the beginning of my freshman year I had just turned 14 and was about 5'6", 145 lbs. Now I'm 16 and just started my junior year and I'm 5'11", 180 lbs. My 60 time is about 7.16, which is considered probably average, but I'm a pitcher.

As for the other guys, they've always been fast. The majority of the guys mentioned are inner city kids and were born in the Dominican Republic. For example: the kid who ran the 6.61 60 literally got his visa a week ago and turned down $60,000 from the Giants and Nationals on the island. He played his first game with us yesterday. The few that I knew back then probably gained a few tenths of a second, but generally in baseball you can't teach speed.

BEENTHERE

I would trust the numbers that JH has posted as I know most of the kids who he plays with on that team.

In fact JH will be with the College Select Team in Jupiter and on that team there will be at least a half dozen kids who run sub 7.0 60's.

BeenThere- There's no 15 yr olds on the team btw... everyone is 16 or 17 and I think maybe 2 or 3 are 18. PM me if you'd like the names of the players that hold these times.

My high school team has just that pitching rotation. Our top four starters are all consistently around 100. Their names are Nolan Ryan Jr., Bob Feller III, Bob Gibson VI and Joel Zumaya Sr. (because he's still only 21). Scary, huh? And to think we only win league and can't win state, tells you a lot about the other teams, huh?
