A circle change is way more effective at this age. Don't see to many kids that throw a curve and not give it away before they even throw it. Good batters can see that curve before the pitch. Circle change is easy to pick in their hand and throw it the same as a fastball. Any kid at that age that throws a curve won't make it past hs. How many pitchers in the pro's came from the Little League WS. None. My 10 year old has been begging me to let him throw the curve. No Way. Circle and Cutter.
@mparmeter1 he throws a palm ball for his change. At this point we are just working on different pitches to see which ones he picks up on the best and can use effectively/consistently in a game. When the drop is on, it is lights out!!!!!!!!
he should not throw curves till high school, the other pitches and a solid 4seam fast ball will get him huge room for growth, the curve will be there when he gets older n near fully grown.. he wont forget how to throw it.. if u focus on curve balls now he wont make it past high school.
I'm saying that I don't worry about it much. Odds are he'll be lucky to make it past high school ball, if you look at the odds. Only thing I want to ensure is that he is having fun and working to get better. I'm not crazy enough to think I actually have any control over what happens or doesn't happen to his elbow. He could just as easy roll his 4-wheeler and break his arm or wreck his shoulder.
@osborneg1 My son's 10, plays 10u major in Texas. Pitchers have to have an effective off-speed pitch at that level to be effective or they get crushed, even if they throw 55 plus. They've seen 62 and will still rip it if all they throw is heat. I let him throw a "safety curve" where he points his index finger straight out so it keeps the wrist from rolling. But some new studies show that the curve actually produces no more stress than fastballs. Just stay away from sliders!
@dcraptors10u that is exactly what my son is throwing. he treats the drop the same way. Middle finger across the seam and index finger off the ball or straight across, which doesn't allow for added velocity, thus becoming change with some break. Biggest thing is it looks WAY different. Our 11 yr old all-star team actually faced a kid throwing close to 70mph in the state tourney this fall, but he had nothing else. Our team put 12 runs on him in 1 1/3 innings with 3 HR's. You have to change speed
@osborneg1 I agree with having fun but u r putting 2 much stress on that elbow at such a young age. If u talk about having fun ,it should not matter if he gives up 1 run or 20 in one game.After all this games mean nothing. He is not pitching to major leaguers or even high school.
@Landinomartes I agree in the long run none of this matters, but short term we are going to do what we can to remain competitive. The 4 seam and 2 seam will be the workhorse, but drop, curve and change will be used depending on what is working the best that day.
@Landinomartes All I'm saying at 10 yrs. there is no need to put that much strees on the elbow. Go to you tube and click on danger of curveball on youth or check Dr Kresnick and see 4 yourself .4 all we know your son will be great and have no elbow and arm problems but the odds r stack against him if he keeps throwing a curveball at such ayoung age. Anyway if his fastball is good enought should be getting batters out with it. Who is he trowing 2 major leaguers?
been through my fare share of arm troubles, i threw slightly harder though at age 10. I am a college pitcher now average 83-85 on fastball, started throwing curveball at a young age as well, went through some arm trouble but not too bad(took a year off.) If anything, he will be great, reminds me of myself. would recommend him doing some physical therapy exercises on his arm though with light weight 5 lbs is enough, build arm strength and you'll have no problem.
The funny part is I've thrown a curve since I was 9. I mean I used to throw it alot maby 40 percent of the time. Now im a sophomore in Highschool and I pitch varesty and have no arm promblems. If anything it preserved my arm. Throwing a fastball is defiantly more taxing then a looping curve thekids not throwing a slider where u really need to break ur wrist to throw it.
This poor kid has the double whammy, guided by irresponsible parents as well as coaches. He's surrounded by idiots who allow him to throw junk before his arm is even close to being mature. He looks like a decent athlete, maybe he can be a position player later in HS. No chance his arm holds up snapping curves at 10.
He should NEVER be throwing curve balls if he wants to play college or professional ball. He will throw his arm out. Burt Bleyloeven (Major League HOF Pitcher) recommends throwing curves only after about 13 years old. Who cares about a little glory in Little League if it costs you your future down the road. It's you as a parent who should be monitoring this!
I learned my curve ball at 13 and I am currently 13, I can throw from 50-70 mph, this kid is 10, his arm will waste if he keeps playing like this, make him stop throwing these curve and let him stick with a fast ball and change up. both aren't harmful at all unless you have bad mechanics.
BAD COACHING, not parenting. He's throwing 4 out of 5 curve balls when his coach should be calling the pitches at that age. Circle changes all day long, big shifter.
Appreciate all the comments both good and bad. Just not enough time to answer all. Keep them coming thought and stay tuned for new videos coming ASAP.
Also, put your kid into a weightlifting program. That's another one of those wide spread myths that are not true. Lay off the protein shakes for now, he should get enough protein just from his normal nutrition.
Focus mostly on legs for now, leg strength is the building block for success for any sport. You may want to consider going to a gym and getting a personal trainer to make sure that your kid is doing all the lifts correctly, so he don't injure himself.
The only reason a kid would need to get Tommy John surgery is if he is throwing the curve incorrectly. You're not supposed to throw the ball with the flick of your wrist, Just let it roll off your index finger, it produces roughly the same spin, but doesn't screw you over. Then again, if you don't want to risk it, just go with a change up. A good change up will definitely fool any little kid.
@UnworthyH3RO Curve balls hurt the arm by the snapping motion on the wrist on the pitch delivery, not if its side arm or not, thats what causes the tendons to be over strained and rupture and you need Tommy John surgery to fix it. If you throw a curve at a young age it doesn't let the tendon grow properly and makes it weak at an older age when you throw hard enough to get it to snap. If the kid wants to throw off speed, a good change is the greatest pitch for him. Same arm action as a fastball.
Who is this Tommy John guy everyone keeps bringing up? :)
(Update 8-23-11) - My son and his team just finished playing in the Little League South East Regional for 11 yr olds in Greenville, NC. They finished second, losing 6-3 to North Carolina. They led 3-0 in the top of the sixth inning 3 outs away from the championship and our pitcher was pitching a perfect game. Tough loss, but it was the first year of competing in Little League, hoping for one more win next year and Williamsport.
@osborneg1 tommy john surgery is when you need surgery on your elbow because of wrong mechanics once my elbow started to hurt like that i went to physical therapy and they fixed it if i wouldnt have gone i would of thrown my arm out
curveballs when thrown properly are less strenuous on the arm than a fastball. However that is when referring to adults. I still think children should only be pitching fastball and change ups. Cause chances are a kid doesn't throw a proper curveball.
why do parents say nasty pitch when they are bearly 10 year olds its called a normal curveball why do people try to make it look like its the big deal
I grew up throwing junk from the first year the players not the coaches pitched...never hurt my arm, I played in college and never lost a thing or had any problems....they have pitch counts to protect these kids now
@trojanball25 not sure what you mean by terrible parents and not making it through high school. Really.....you get all that from a 3:42 video. You are amazing. Please tell everyone when the world is going to end. :)
@osborneg1 he means that if you teach your kid how to throw a curve when their ten hes gonna blow out his arm by the time hes in high school. therefore your terrible parents :]
@picturedude1st So we are good parents if we allow him to just throw fastballs only........but the curveball makes us bad parents??????? TI'm not sure that is the best way to gauge if someone is a good parent or not
@picturedude1st So.......no curveball =GOOD PARENT..........curveball = BAD PARENT?????? Just to make sure I'm clear on this. Would I be a better parent if I were a dead beat dad who was never around to teach him how to throw the curve. Funny
@trojanball25 not sure what you mean by terrible parents and not making it through high school. Really.....you get all that from a 3:42 video. You are amazing. Please tell everyone when the world is going to end. Funny
everybody is right your not supposed to throw a curve untill you are atleast 14 or 15 that kid will not pitch in highschool and will have to have tommy john surgery his parents are morons
there was actually a medical study conducted over the last 10 years about kids throwing curveballs. they really found out that curveballs aren't bad for the kids' arms but it's the over usage of kids' arms that's bad for them. like throwing 80 or more pitches per game multiple times a week!
Ok Mom and Dad....Start shopping around for a good specialist to rebuild that kids elbow. Are you real baseball fans?....then get the boy to throw a stinging fastball. Put the junk away until he is a couple years older.
10 year olds should never be taught to throw a curveball. this is what horrible parenting mixed with high aspirations. when his elbow falls off at 15 years old and he cant play sports ever again blame yourself
Why the fuck is a kid throwing a curve at 10 years old?? He's going to need tommy john surgery before he's done high school! At that age it will ruin a developing arm, and can cause bad mechanics as well. I mean i'm not trying to be rude or a dick and am not telling you what to do, I'm just saying that so bad for the kids arm at that age.
since when can 10 year olds throw almost 60 50 is reality not 60 cuz im 13 and i pitch and throw 60 my brother who just turned 11 can barely throw 50 but pounds the mit
I don't understand why this parent is praising this kid so much. I'll admit he has talent, but your gonna give him the idea that he's God's gift to baseball (which no one is) and he won't work hard. Stop pussying your kid
OH, and changeups are a much better pitch to learn at this age. Its a somewhat tough pitch to learn so throwing it for all these extra years will give him a very good one when he gets older. Curves will just ruin his arm in a few years. I didn't learn a curveball until my freshman year when I was 15. My changeup had worked as a great alternative since I was 9.
Kids 10 should not be throwing curves. Change up fine, curve, no. I don't care if you think he is throwing it correctly or not. Good idea if you want to have a 16 year old washed up pitcher...
i used to be a pretty good pitcher when i was 12, but shot my arm from curves and it ruined all my chances of pitching. im 16 today and i cant play 100% because my arm is still shot =/
Lol bro. DONT THROW A FREAKING CURVE LOL I was 9 years old throwing 60-70 now im 12 throwing 70-75 I still dont throw a curve. I throw a slider. You just throw it like a football.
The parents of this kid should be shot for letting the coach fuck up this kids arm. I'm sure his dad is living through his kid because he was a failure as an athlete, just as he is now a failure as a "dad". Hey dad, go fuck yourself...
Kids should not be throwing a CB before 14 yrs old. Try learning a knuckle curve as an off speed pitch before then - works great and it same arm action as a fastball! Remember kiddies - fastball is KING! Learn how to throw one before anything other pitch.
Congrats to the overbearing parents to parade their child on youtube. You realize that a young child throwing this type of pitch will be likely to suffer from terrible injuries as he gets older? But, you don't care, as long as he's doing well in these little league games you can brag to your friends. 6-8 years from now he won't be able to throw, kiss baseball goodbye.
Stop throwing curve balls, stick to the fast ball. Your to young for anything else if you want to continue pitching in the future and save your arm for when it matters
10 year old throwing a curve? ur just another dad that didn't have any carrer so u have ur son throw a curveball at 10!? everyone will remember you for hurting your sons carrer! he will never pitch highschool throwing that pitch already!
so the stupid is proud a 10 years old is throwing curve at 10?lmao at this uneducated dummy.You dont start throwing curve till you close to 14 unless you want to kill this kids career.His mechanics are good
he really shouldnt be throwing a lot of curves but if your just warming up or throwing with him let him throw like 5 curves which would let him develop it instead of messing up something in his elbow.
are you people crazy??? my team went to the Cal Ripken league world series in California when i was ten and i was throwing 65 and so was everybody else we faced and a lot of pitchers along the way in regionals and sectionals so what are you talking about throwing 55 at 10 is AMAZING?

Why the fuck is a kid throwing a curve at 10 years old?? He's going to need tommy john surgery before he's done high school! At that age it will ruin a developing arm, and can cause bad mechanics as well. I mean i'm not trying to be rude or a dick and am not telling you what to do, I'm just saying that so bad for the kids arm at that age.

@Burnsy159 if he throws it right he wont hurt his arm, but if he throws side arm or a slider then he will hurt his arm

@Burnsy159 Not true. A real curveball has no pronation or rotation of the wrist. The dogshit curveballs little league coaches teach do that.

I don't understand why this parent is praising this kid so much. I'll admit he has talent, but your gonna give him the idea that he's God's gift to baseball (which no one is) and he won't work hard. Stop pussying your kid

OH, and changeups are a much better pitch to learn at this age. Its a somewhat tough pitch to learn so throwing it for all these extra years will give him a very good one when he gets older. Curves will just ruin his arm in a few years. I didn't learn a curveball until my freshman year when I was 15. My changeup had worked as a great alternative since I was 9.

MattMosca17 7 months ago
Kids 10 should not be throwing curves. Change up fine, curve, no. I don't care if you think he is throwing it correctly or not. Good idea if you want to have a 16 year old washed up pitcher...

The parents of this kid should be shot for letting the coach fuck up this kids arm. I'm sure his dad is living through his kid because he was a failure as an athlete, just as he is now a failure as a "dad". Hey dad, go fuck yourself...

Kids should not be throwing a CB before 14 yrs old. Try learning a knuckle curve as an off speed pitch before then - works great and it same arm action as a fastball! Remember kiddies - fastball is KING! Learn how to throw one before anything other pitch.

Congrats to the overbearing parents to parade their child on youtube. You realize that a young child throwing this type of pitch will be likely to suffer from terrible injuries as he gets older? But, you don't care, as long as he's doing well in these little league games you can brag to your friends. 6-8 years from now he won't be able to throw, kiss baseball goodbye.

Stop throwing curve balls, stick to the fast ball. Your to young for anything else if you want to continue pitching in the future and save your arm for when it matters

he really shouldnt be throwing a lot of curves but if your just warming up or throwing with him let him throw like 5 curves which would let him develop it instead of messing up something in his elbow.
