No offence but he is not throwing 68-70 at 10. Pyhsically a 10 year old that size cant throw 68-70. Id say about 55-60, still VERY good for a 10 year old. The mound is only 46 feet so almost every pitcher looks 65-70 from that distance. And you can get that kind of pop on the catchers mitt off almost any speed if the catcher catches it in bettween the pocket and the webb

@Thesteeke Well in warmup he was clocked at 65mph he is 5'1" tall & his pitching coach was a ex pro pitcher & one of the kids who played on his team played 10 yrs in the minors as a catcher then coached for the tigers minor league organazation for many yrs also & both have said he is throwing 70mph. So I guess you know more then actual pro ball players & the radar gun. He has just turned 11 & now pitching from 50 feet playing against the 12 yr olds.

@BBBYpsi I would say upper 50s. not 70, I dont care who is coaches are.

@17MultiMoney Like I said but I guess you do not read. Clocked at 65 in warmup with a radar gun.

@BBBYpsi Well ive been coached by 2-3 minor league pitchers. One of them actually went to the arizona fall league which is the best minor league league/division you can go to, 99 percent of every player who has been invited to play there makes it to the mlb. One of my coaches is in the ncaa hall of fame for being one of the best d1 college pitchers ever. 18-0 in his college carrer. And ive been coached by a high school coach who has sent his varsity team to state finals 4 times.

@Thesteeke You do realize how stupid you just sounded by saying that 99% of the guys that get invitied to this arizona fall league make it to the pro (MLB) level. Well lets see players are drafted by teams & play for their minor league organazation & of all the minor league players only 18% of them make it to the majors. Oh if your coach was 18-0 in division 1 what team drafted him & what year?

[BBBYpsi]

@Thesteeke oh by the way I looked up every ncaa college hall of famer & not a one of them was 18-0

[Thesteeke]

@BBBYpsi And not to mention I work with a pitcher from one of the best d1 colleges in the country. And ive been coached by orlando cabrara, probably one of the best shortstops in the history of the mlb. So im pretty sure i do know what Im talking about.

@Tomb413 how is he gonna have a messed up arm by 14 he is working with a ex pro pitcher & my brother only lets him throw fast balls & circle changes & protects it by not throwing to much.
