Haven't seen this one......but since the print is to small for us old guys to read I can't comment on its value. Any chance or way to blow it up?

I can read it either, my eyes are pretty good!

I googled the chart and found this:Coach at a Click Micro Blog: Speed, Stride Length, Age You supposed to use this chart to determine how you compare for your age group.
So according to this chart: my 5'1 daughter should be throwing at 43 mph...Thanks guys for such high goals(sarcasm inserted)...and if she goes much faster than this, she is a high risk for injuries.

Been there. This is the homogenized cookie-cutter BS that floats on the Internet and gives false empowerment to forecast where a kid will be in a few years. If any of my kids- no matter the size -fell into these parameters. I would have failed them.

LOL my DD's stride is 7'3" she should be mid 60s from the looks of it well they don't have it charted for 13-14 yr olds at all and best she's gotten too is 59mph.
5'1" isn't referencing height, it's referencing stride length. I'm not sure how that would compare.
I'm pretty sure a pitcher getting a good launch off the rubber and landing with good front side resistance is going to impart the ball with a bit more energy than a similar pitcher who isn't striding out as hard and far.
Granted this isn't always the case but I think that was what they were implying.
