Honestly, for a grown man that is terrible.

My 12 year old throws 68...

That's hopping. My 12 year old throws 53 on a good day. He's behind on

At that age it's not the speed that usually kills. It's the junk.

I strongly, emphatically, recommend against the curveball at the vast majority

doctorcoug

You should read the Andrews group study from 2015. Curveballs are NOT a causative factor in arm injuries

SJS

If the goal is to win games at 12u, then I can see the value of curves. Problem

doctorcoug

8/8/20 8:35am

Did you read my 2nd paragraph?

SJS

8/8/20 10:53am

It was 2011, just read the study. It didn't find a link to injury, but that

doctorcoug

8/8/20 8:48am

You didn’t find the right study. But you do you.

SJS

8/8/20 10:51am

Why so sensitive? Dr Andrews published 3 baseball articles in 2015, none looking

doctorcoug

8/8/20 11:18am

You’re literally disagreeing with the main point of the study you can’t find. I’m not home, will find it later and BM it

SJS

8/8/20 11:21am

I'll be really happy to read it. Since I have a son who is really heavy into

doctorcoug

8/8/20 11:31am

Unless he throws from a really high release point, he should throw a slider anyways

SJS

8/8/20 11:33am

And here’s a link for a knuckle curve

SJS

8/8/20 11:37am

I'll take a look. As you said earlier, I really think the best way to go is to

doctorcoug

Locating and alternating velocity is much more important than max velocity

doctorcoug

My son who throws in the 90’s and got college offers as a pitcher didn’t throw..

CoachSpeak

8/8/20 7:19am

What my son does at 12u won't equate to what he will do as a senior. He doesn't

doctorcoug

8/8/20 8:07am

The better 14U pitchers this season were hitting around 75. 68 in 12U is really

Alister Mackenzie

Big jump between 12 and 14 years old. Basically puberty driven.

CoachSpeak

8/8/20 7:27am

His velo is near the top in the state for 12u, but he plays 13u. For the kids

doctorcoug

8/8/20 8:10am

That’s some heat at that age.

cougfanz

8/8/20 7:25am

That’s pretty impressive, especially since you guys been quarantining for months on end.

JohnnyComeLately

8/8/20 8:11am

Me, my brother, and 2 friends tried that at an amusement

8/8/20 12:07am

those ones are notoriously off to avoid people guessing correctly (esp. those who know how fast they normally throw)

Even knuckleballs are thrown around 70 mph

RC Vikings

I had my pitch timed and it was around ...

Dan

Threw high 70s back when I was in my early 20s

8/8/20 7:15am

That’s pretty bad.. though as we’ve seen a lot of successful people can’t throw

cougfanz

8/8/20 7:23am

Now that's resting your arm. I bet you get into the 60's with some tweaks.

Yes that’s not good for an adult male
