Hemet OnDeck recap said 12 of 22 pitchers were 60 or over. 65 was tops. A 2021 hit 62 and I believe a 2023 did too. 3 2021's were 60 or over. 60 is a good milestone.
60 with consistency is a huge speed number. Hitting it on occasion is far easier. There's not a lot of pitchers that can do it
DD hit 59 a few times today at Pennsbury... she's a 2021.
I was surprised that there were not more mid 60's.. 3-4 over 60.. that's it.
DD's teammate was at 62 (2021). Saw a couple of 64's but not many over 60.
I was surprised...expected more speed?
This is true, but is not because they are not capable of greater speed. With proper mechanics any kid of average stature is capable of working in the low to mid 60's.
