I am the coach of a 12U "C" level team. My primary pitcher will be turning 12 this month. She currently averages 45-47 mph and has very good movement. We are in very big need of another pitcher. Unfortunately, the 3 girls that came to tryouts averaged about 20 mph slower than my primary pitcher with decent consistency but not much else in the way of other pitches. What do you think is a fair expectation for speed progression at this age level if they worked all winter? The very novice pitching coach that my daughter started with thinks she can increase their speeds quite a bit. I'm not that confident. Thanks for any feedback.
