My 6th grader throws it well too. 11.75 years old. 5’1” and about 95 lbs. Fastest kid around our neck of the woods.
Plays SS, CF, and catcher. Throws 61-63 off the mound. Has a legit knuckle curve, and just started throwing a “chop change” that BYU’s former pitching coach taught him. Tries to throw a 2 seamer but let’s just say it’s a work in progress.
Hits the ball really well, hits lead off for us.
Man I love baseball. Good luck to your kid, a very minor speed bump in the grand scheme of things.
