Male and female pitching speeds.

Fastest pitcher in the world, Adam Folkard, throws 86mph. Slowest pitcher in the world, Bill Hillhouse throws 68. ha ha

I don't disagree that upper body and spin has a lot to do with it. But I think a lot of it has to do with what young girls are taught from the start of their pitching. Many are taught to do things in such an "incorrect" way at the beginning of how they pitch that it takes way too long, sometimes forever before it's able to get corrected. IF ever. On top of this, when they are taught at the young ages and then taught corrections which completely refute what they did... it can frustrate them to the point where they quit.

That Hillhouse guy will never be any good.

Stan, I was kidding. I was making a joke, 86 mph. 68 mph. Get it?
