Is it good for a kid, physically, to be throwing that fast at such a young age? Would she be more prone to injury later in her pitching career?

I think Overuse is more a concern then how fast they throw.

Really easy to roll good pitchers out there.

Yes. My dd has a friend who could throw super fast at a young age and she's had two surgeries on her shoulder before she was 16. Her hopes of playing college ball are over. :(

I haven't seen a 10U throwing 60 in person, but there were rumors of one at this year's PGF, along with a few in the upper 50s. SyndreSoftball's DD was one of the upper-50s pitchers. I've see her. It's no joke.

she pitched in pgf championship, probably the same girl, I would think. I would hope...lol....I pmd you eric.

Am I really the only one to call BS. Or did everyone else not even bother to open up this thread at all??????? I guess I should have done the same.

Yeah, my concern would be that since hardly anyone will be able to hit off her, the coaches will pitch her way too much.

MS story, again.

DD pitched an inning once in a while during season, same pitchers but MS coach liked DD for some reason. She went from pitching an inning here or there to pitching both games of DH. She was not conditioned for it.

HC gave her a break before I needed to say anything, it was close though.
