In baseball anything below 2 seconds is pretty good. Pudge was a 1.75 but he was the best of the best! I think these times are pretty comparable to softball times. When focusing on pop time we need to really tell your catchers to get the ball in the air as soon as possible. Transfer from glove to hand and have your focus be on getting the ball out of your hand fast. Footwork is essential too. Practice practice practice....

Have 12 years olds in softball throwing 2.0 entering the 14u division of travel ball.

Yes i just compared
Pro baseball to a 12 yr old in softball.
1.7 is a TOP D1 preferred softball college pop time.
And breaking that!

There are different factors in differentiating the two sports.
*Most important being in fastpitch softball the catcher is responsible for holding runners closer to the base.
* There are incredibly much more percentage of back pics in fastpitch softball!!
