Homeruns

[dgat7]

At what age do you typically start seeing over the fence homeruns ?

 

[Lenski]

14U is typical. 12U and lower homeruns occur, but not as frequently.

My DD was 10............or maybe 11 weeks old, she was an early bloomer.

I've seen a big increase from second-year 12u to first-year 14U.

In 12U last year, we had two girls who could clear a 200-foot fence, although neither did it in a game. This year, we have five girls that can clear 200, and two have done it. (It's a different team, but very comparable talent.) I saw 5 HR in a tournament Saturday, and that's just the games I was watching. I never saw that many last year n 12U.

Also, my daughter's power has increased very significantly in the last 9 months, largely b/c of puberty/growth spurt. She's 13 1/2.

My dd already had 10 homeruns by that age....with the handle of the bat!

11YO DD almost hit the fence on the roll.

you use bats? We just have the girls use there arms Saw a few in 12u we are 13u playing 14u and we have seen more in practice (season has not started yet)

Well NEVER our home park is an adult softball field with 287 sign in the corners and 325 to straight away.

We have a small field that is 180 that we practiced on last All Stars because of logistics and a couple 12U kids hit it over (this is rec).
