New member - don’t know why I’ve never visited before, but there is some solid information here…
Anyway, for your thoughts here are a couple of clips of my 14U son. He’s a converted catcher who’s only been pitching for a year or so. He is about 5’5, 140lbs. Has good command. Throws FB, CU, a sweeping curve that comes in 10-4, and is working on control of a 12-6.
He is probably topping out at around 69-70 MPH, but cruising in the mid 60’s. Since he will be moving in to HS next year, he would like to pick up some velocity. I think cleaning his mechanics up - in addition to natural growth will do the trick. In case you are wondering - no those aren’t flippers on his feet. He wears a size 13 shoe, and has hands as big as mine (and I’m 6’3). I’m anticipating a lot of growth in the next couple of years…
Thanks in advance for thoughts…
