9 YO Throwing 60

[Eric F]

I once saw the lochness monster and bigfoot making out under UFO lights above them.......

That must have been one hell of a fishing trip!

Yes. Definitely more than a case of beer in that boat.

Go to about the 1:17 mark in the game. They bring in a girl that throws pure racing gas. Probably the one being discussed here. She is legit 55+ in game situations. can crank it up a bit more for a pitch or two. Can hit 60 in warm up walk-throughs.

I just found my dd's new pitching coach.......

That girl was 10 not 9. She is 11 now. Don't know if she hit 60 at ten but I'd bet she was close even using the pocket radar. Very talented. Associated with Tincher pitching, who is my DD pitching coach. Needless to say, they don't teach hello elbow!

She was 10u for this past PGF, and is an 05. Don't know if her birthday is Jan, Feb, or whatever, but she was a legit 05 player chucking it at mid to upper 50s this past year. And she relieved a girl who threw low 50s all day, every day. And the opposing pitchers were low to mid 50s as well. Whoever said they clocked all the teams in the southeast and never clocked anyone over 50 needs to check their radar. There were several 10u girls throwing well over 50 last year in the southeast and several showed up and showed out at PGF. Heck, if you didn't have a girl throwing 50+ you went 2 and out in bracket play. There was an 06 girl from some west coast team hitting low 50s. Just think, she has another year to grow, mature and learn. I suspect that a year from now there'll be another thread about that girl throwing upper 50s at PGF in 2017.

Exactly. The OP stated a 9YO was throwing 60, not a 10 year old.

(And we ran into a buzzsaw from TX that was a legit 50mph+ at 9U Nationals)

I got this pitch @ 54mph

Then OP needs to clarify the who/what/when/where. Sounds like this isn't the girl being discussed.

Yep... the swing is the story in this clip
