14U A - Mid 50’s to low 60’s with ability to hit spots more often than not OR mid 50’s and hits corners consistently. Moderately effective changeup and developing movement pitch.
14U B – Low to mid 50’s. Ability to throw strikes without consistently throwing over middle of the plate.
14U C – Lucky to hit the broad side of a barn.
This would go for our area and also what we saw nationally. We saw VERY few pitchers that could throw 60 or that had much movement at that age. For most girls different pitches were simply different grips.
FWIW using the three definitions above the two D1 commits from DD’s 14U team at the time would both be B level pitchers and we placed top 5 at ASA Nationals.
I dunno-it seems if I used your definition then 30% of the pitchers would be A, 65% would be B and only 5% would be C. I never see pitchers at 14s out here that cant hit the broad side of a barn. Everyone I have seen in the circle is either accurate or fast. I have not seen a truly wild pitcher at all. The average 14u girl I see is 55 MPH and is not giving up a lot of walks.
