Just curious what the highest overhand throwing velocity you have seen for a female softball player throwing a 12" softball.
Had a parent recently tell me that a local girls who is very good has a overhand throwing velocity of 84 mph. I immediately told that parent that I believe that some was lying to them. I don't believe a female can throw 84mph overhand.
I think the highest I have seen recorded at a On Deck Measurement camp is 74 mph. On Deck does metrics for high school age players in general. I have no doubt that a few collegiate players can throw in 76mph range but 84 mph seems impossible to me. Anything over 70 mph overhand I would say is a very good velocity for a female.
