In the last 12U tournament my DD's team was in we came across a pitcher that was throwing a legitimate 59-60 mph. I realize this is extremely uncommon and somewhat unbelievable but I used my Pocket Radar to record these numbers. Our girls were so far behind it wasn't even funny.
The question is how do you prepare for this kind of speed? I assume pitching machine is one option. Live pitching is best but our fastest pitcher tops out around 55 mph. Are there any other kinds of drills that can be used?
