DD is 13 and in middle school and throws 52..........The other 2 pitchers are "younger"........I'm assuming 12? And they are throwing consistantly in the upper 50's?........And you are wondering why the coach took the two 12yo's throwing almost 60mph?.........
They are facing other 12-13yo grade school players from the same school? And you think these "grade school" players are going to "rock" these 60mph pitchers? Not a chance........
Grade school ball is NOT travel ball.........Not even close.........Travel ball teams are made up of the very best ONE OR TWO kids from EVERY grade school.........I'd venture to say that 59mph pitches will "fly by" 10 out of the 12 kids on the "grade school" roster......
Hell maybe he cut your kid because he don't have a catcher that can handle her movement........
