Y'all are just not watching the right softball games. Some of these 12 and 13 year old girls are as big as their 18U counterparts and have been training since they were 7 or 8. It was a big tournament that attracted the top teams from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and a few California teams. It should not be surprising that these girls can bring the heat.
Hey, I said never say never! You're talking about the top 1 or 2% in the Country obviously, so that's two things I've never seen before.....a 12U player throwing 60-63 and a 18U player throwing 70+! Honestly, never seen either!
I have a Jugs Radar Cube in the cage at the house. At 13 my kid started hitting 60 according to Jugs. I figured she would keep progressing at the rate she was and now, 3 years later, she would be hitting 66. But she got the "fumes", went from throwing out there almost everyday to now maybe once a week, if that, and here we are... her topping put at 62 (if nobody is looking or she can't see radar guns pointed at her) and just a sourpuss of a look on her face if I ask her how her velo was today. Son's are so much easier
If you mean Alliance, then technically no. It is an invite like 100 other tournaments. That said the tournament organizer has a leadership position in one of the Alliance leagues.
