does anyone know what the top 12u pitchers throw? the top level pitchers that go on to compete at the national level? what speed, and what pitches do they throw? realistically....
Not really.
I went to 14u ASA National and it was more about 50-55mph top for that age group. I would say 12u would have a fastball, drop, change up and maybe a screwball. Probably more like 50mph for top ones. Just so you know, the girls can still hit those speeds. Pitchers seem to be dominant at 10u than don't pick that dominance back up until 16u.
And I can usually tell in person what 60mph looks like movement or not. Have sat behind home plate for enough games when those like Ricketts and others are pitching
