Watched some of the 10u PG National championship game this past week and kid on the mound was sitting @68mph! Insane! Maybe even more amazing was the other team was putting the ball in play!

In the prepubescent years size is more relevant than age when considering velocity. I’m guessing the kid isn’t 4’8”. -
Some of the PG events are grad year not age. Lots of 1 to 2 year hold backs. Someone this weekend said they have never seen so many 16 year old "freshmen" in a pg eventOriginally posted by ArnoldZane View PostComment

There were always fire-breathing pitchers. PG just allows everyone to hear about them.

A kid I played Legion with 30+ years ago was clocked at 78 or 79 when he was in LL at 12 YO. He ended up playing 4 or 5 years in MLB where I think he topped out at maybe 94. People would cheer when a kid got a piece of the ball in LLOriginally posted by songtitle View Post

When my son was eleven or twelve a kid at the LLWS a kid throwing 78 pitched a no hitter striking out eighteen. He hit one kid. I followed the kid. He peaked as a high school catcher with an average pop time in high school.
A kid in our LL district was 5’8’ throwing 75 in LL. His father called him The Meal Ticket. He thought the kid was headed for a MLB signing bonus. The kid peaked as a 5’9” JV pitcher throwing 78. The pitcher the dad faulted for not being good enough to win his games and get them past districts became a 90+ throwing D1 pitcher.Comment

Check out this rising 9th grader. Last year he was an 8th grader. Top PG prospect in the nation.

Robert Stock was throwing 90 when he was fourteen. He’s now a 31yo AAAA with 52 MLB appearances. He’s more famous for his wife’s tweets than his baseball.Originally posted by jamzg5 View Post
